Wollmeise

Besuch bei der Wollmeise in Pfaffenhofen

Jaja, da gibts mal wieder einen Blogpost, in dem es nicht um Memademay13 geht und dann gehts um ein Wollgeschäftl!

Aber es geht ja um die Wollmeise bzw. um Rohrspatz&Wollmeise in Pfaffenhofen, Bayern. Wo man Wolle in den wunderbarsten und intensivesten Farben überhaupt kaufen kann.

Es ist ganz einfach, wenn man Wolle mag, in der Nähe von München ist und Zeit zu einem Ausflug nach Pfaffenhofen hat, und dann noch an einem Tag, an dem das Geschäft offen hat, dann gibts wohl keinen Weg um einen Besuch herum.

Ach, und die Toilette sollte auch besucht werden - da sieht man dann die Welt in Rosarot!
Mehr mag ich zu Wollmeise gar nicht mehr schreiben, wurde ja schon alles zigmal auf anderen Blogs geschrieben. Hinfahren, anschauen und danach auf ein Weißbier ins Gasthaus und den Einkauf bewundern!

lg, Kathi

MMM13 - day 25

what?! day 25?!

what happened? where are my creative, stunning, self-made outfits for the last week?

well, unfortunately i got distracted by work. that happens every now and then. and then weather is going crazy here in Vienna, it barely reaches temperatures above 10°C and i feel like taking my winter handknits out of deep summer-storage again!

but, hej, i got to wear my hitchhiker scarf again - and i finally got some new shoes!

...and yes, we do have a yellow floor at the office where i work! isn't it a great background for this image?

allright, and now i will pick a sewing pattern to sew up something nice tomorrow!

cheers, kat!

the sweaterdress

just a short post before i add a second post more in detail on the sweaterdress.

Yes, my knitsibs from Vienna and I went to Pfaffenhofen, close to Munich in Germany to go to the Wollmeise store there to buy yarn. it was wonderful!

Heather and i had our picture taken in front of the store to celebrate Me Made May there together!

here is the link to Heather's pic of us!

second week MMM13

short update on Me-Made-May 13

I have been sick most of the week, no going to work or donning clever self-made outfits. I have been lounging in various handknit items though - nothing better than handknit socks to make you feel better!

i did manage to catch a couple of breaths at the fresh air and have some outfits to share from before i got sick!

mystery day 1 from last week,

sporting a breezy cardigan, pattern by Hannah Fettig. a very comfy and cool cardigan, but be warned, this is knit with lace weight yarn on 4.5mm needles - it does take some time and patience to finish! i do love it totally!

mysteryday 2 from last week,

sporting no.2 drape pants from Drape, Drape by Hisako Sato. This is a very fascinating book, full of patterns utilising the drape of - mainly knit - fabrics and by folding and draping them to get interesting draping garments. i made the no.2 drape pants - still a rather simple garment - and totally love them! they are extremely comfy and still look classy enough to wear them to work!

after getting this book and realising it is mainly about knitfabrics i enrolled in the craftsyclass "sewing with knits" by Meg McElwee. This is a very nice way to get started with sewing knits, Meg McElwee gives you a lot of tips on what to pay attention to, what kind of supplies are important etc.

so that was my, not very successful, MMM13- week 2, now off to bed again and back to drinking masses of tea and hoping that this terrible cold finally passes!

cheers, kat
