Und hier die Shownotes:

1. Teil – was in Arbeit ist

Selbst designerte Socken, aber zugrunde gelegt ist ein Strickmuster von Ingrid Hiddesen: Basic Toe up Socks.

Vilai Socken aus dem Buch “Sock Innovation” von Cookie A. aus grünem Garn von Supergarne.com.

Bei dem CookieA-Muster habe ich die Verzopfung so gestrickt wie bei den Bayerischen Socken von Eunny Yang.

“Berlin Muster” Socken von Kristin Benecken – sieht fast genauso aus, wie “Es duftet nach Lavendel” aus dem Buch “Socken aus aller Welt” von Stephanie van der Linden.

2. Teil – Urbane Selbstversorgung

Es geht um LOHAS vs. ökologisches gutes Leben auch für nicht-Reiche.

3. Teil – Was ich grade toll finde.

cogknitive Podcast von Dr. Gemma

4. Teil – was ich gerade spinne

Ein selbstgefärbter Kammzug BFL – Tussahseide auf einer Kreuzspindel von Matthes. Ausserdem geht es um den halben Schlag und das “schöne Aufwickeln”. zu sehen zum Beispiel hier.

Yo. Das wars also… hüstel…

I’ve knitted tights! And they are done just in time before the winter gets really cold.

Just came across this photo on flickr, and it’s posted under creative commons, so I can share this here..

If you came across this blog and you wanted to visit my actual blog, It’s here:

I set up this blog at wordpress to see if the importing of posts and comments would work, but I like twoday.net more. But I think I’ll keep this blog here (after one day of work and setting everything up here) just in case. I won’t update it, though. The blog I will be updating is the link above, or you can click on “my blog in english” in the links menu to the right.

The article seems to be about something called “Craftivism”. I want to know what that is.

I, too, would like an Anarcho-Feminist Revolution ;-)
In Germany, many people still think that anarchy has something to do with throwing bombs, violence and terrorism. I don’t know about other places in the world.
For me, it’s got nothing to do with it – Anarchy is just about people making decisions concerning their own business by themselves. I make my own decisions, and when I and my friend would live in a house, we would together make the decisions for our house. And the community finds ways of making community decisions for themselves and so on. Therefore you can’t just “do what you want” in anarchy, humans are social beings and so they must find out what they want as a community, too. Many people think anarchy is “no one tells me what to do.” That’s correct, but instead you tell yourselves (as a community) what to do. Just like democracy, only that it’s more direct.
I don’t want to convert anyone to become an anarchist, just trying to explain a bit, after all it’s in the name of my blog and might scare someone?

I spend a great evening today after receiving a spontaneous invitation by a good friend to go out and stuff ourselves with sushi. After that we went to her house and did some webdesigning stuff – I tried out her new graphic tablet and it’s really good. And I tried to take a picture of Ayers Rock, but Ayers Rock turned around his head to look at me and suddenly didn’t look like Ayers Rock any more, but more like a cat.

I do so love this machine!

The only thing I find a bit tricky is thread tension. After two weeks I messed around with the tension screw on the bobbin and I have to “tune” the tension more often than I had to do when I was sewing on the cheap brother beginner machine, but the good thing about this: Now I know how to set the thread tension on my machine. (After reading many articles on tension) ;-)

I made some lavender bags today (and yesterday) :-)

And I used regular cotton fabrics and old bed sheets in this quilt, and a cotton batting, so it’s not as easy to quilt as a quilt with only expensive patchwork fabrics and a thin poly batting. I love patchwork fabrics and their colours and designs – but it feels more “authentic” to me to cut up old garments and reuse fabric. And the quilts do have a different “feel” to them.
The blue fabric is new, from IKEA.
