I have done very little since we got back from Munich, just what i ahve to do with the dogs and a little sock knitting. Am still too knackered and sore to do much else. I loved the trip. I will post pics of what we saw when i het the films develoiped. I use 'proper' film and camera when away.
This is how far I have got with my new Aran design.
This is a beautful yarn. it feel swonderfully soft and drapes very well. A smooth, slinky yarn. I am not sure if I will HK it or MK it. I bought in Reims, France.
100% BAMBOO!!!
These are 70% wool and 30% silk. More socks!!!
This is 'trachtenwolle'. Made in Austria. Bought in Munich. Will knit a Bavarian waistcoat with it. Saw many people wearing such in Munich and Innsbrook.

Colin,
Just checked out your blogspot. Your latest "Aran" sweater is a work of art!!! I would love to do something that complicated with cables (are they a blast, or what?!) but at this point in time with only a USM, I think I'd have a migraine by the 20th row. LOL
Hopefully someday when I upgrade to a fancier machine...
Also, I really enjoy the updates on the puppies. They are so adorable!!!
Hi Colin: I have seen that bamboo yarn. I should really get a ball and try
it out just to see if I like it. I love the puppy pictures.
Kenny - hand knit or machine knit;
nice buys Colin! Hope you piced up some champagne as well whilst in Reims!

Wow Colin! LOVELY!!! Sorry you're tired out, but hope the trip was worth it:)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your Aran! It is absolutely beautiful!
Have a question for you: Have you ever handknit anything in Mode Dea Ticker Tape (or any other ribbon-like yarn, for that matter)? If so, what? Last night I had the most amazing luck - bought some in the Monet colors for $1 per skein -Here in the States it goes for up to 6.99 per skein (Have no idea what that is in Euros - approximately 4.5 to 5 pounds UK?) Anyway, I thought I'd ask you if you had any idea of what to do with this - I bought plenty, LOL.
Glad you're back!
