End of June already!

I haven't written for ages, because the first half of this year (and the second half ol last year) was arount the WEDDING:) We got married in April here in Aachen in a wonderful church with great weather and celebrated in a wonderful place with lovely people. It was worth all the time, stress and planning. This was exactly the way I wanted it to be.

I wanted to have some DIY things for the wedding. This was for sure. So after the day he proposed, I ordered a book 100 Flowers to knit an crochet and I started to design my own wedding bouquet. I made the flowers quite quickly but was thinking of how to build it together for several months. Then I just started to make it and it was ready in 1,5 hrs. I love it.
My friend, Tanteizzy made me the tiny blue butterfly in it (this is the something blue).

I also made a bolero-thing for myself for the church (semi-followed the royal shrug pattern), however I dont have a photo of it were it really shows how cute it became...anyway, it was very handy to have it and it looked great.

My knitting-group buddies surprized me with crocheted flowers - they were standing in front of the church door after the ceremony and held them up so we could walk under them. It was so great! Afterwards I got all the flowers. Some of them are hanging in the flat, the rest will wait for my next birthday to be hung on the wall:)

This is all of them :)

What else happened besides the wedding?

In March we were in a knitting weekend in the Eifel with the Knitting group. It was great! GREAT!

This was the view.

We have an other KAL in the knitting group, featuring the Double heelix socks. Here is the LINK to our KAL. I still need to hutty up with my socks...

AND we had the Knit in Public Day organized in Aachen! We guerilla-knitted a landing in the center of the city :) 

Isn't it beautiful??? :)

I try to get back to a regular blogging pattern. We'll see.

Október

Nahát, már október van, annak is a vége...a nyár mindig zűrös és jó, az ősz meg még zűrösebb. Dolgoztam, kötöttem, nyaraltam. Olvastam, keveset irtam, (még mindig nincs hosszú i a billentyűzeten.) Többet fogok magyarul irni, mert sajnos felejtek és szörnyű tipikus hibákat vétek. De erről majd máskor.
Kötöttem sapkákat hegymászáshoz meg szülinapra. Elkezdtem egy végtelenenitett projektet - a Viajante-t. A képen levő fonalat fogom hozzá elhasználni. Most tartok a felénél. Ahhh...

És elkezdtem a kis virágokat horgolni a menyasszonyi csokromhoz meg tervbe van véve a kardigán és a shrug is. Mindezt időre, persze. Közben pedig szorgalmasan veszem a fonalakat a teljesen más projektekhez. :)

ez egy sapka.

Crochet Squids for the Premature babies

Iden Miss Wings (Anita) egy uj akcihoz csatlakozott: a rotterdami Sophia Gyerekkorhaz koraszulott osztalyara varnak horgolt kispolipokat. Anita es Isabelle ebben segitenek; a boltban lehet venni horgolos-csomagot, amibol egyedul tudsz horgolni polipot. Ezt visszakuldod az uzletbe, ahol leellenorzik es kimossak oket. A polipok, akik atmennek a teszten, az koraszulott-osztalyra kerulnek, akik kiestek, a tobbi gyerekhez.Szponzoralni is lehet, akkor ok horgolkak a polipot, te csak a fonalat veszed.
Es hogy miert pont polip: a babak az inkubatorban mindig valami fogast keresnek (feltehetoen a koldokzsinor hianya miatt). Es ilyenkor altalaban az inkubator csoveit huzogatjak, ami senkinek se jo. Ugyhogy a sterilizalt, horgolt polipokat a babak melle fektetik es igy a polipok puha lababa tudnak kapaszkodni. Ez megnyugtatja a babakat.

Ugyhogy en is horgoltam kettot, meg szponzoralok.
Az akcio Miss-Wings-altal koordinalt reszenek a blogja itt van.
Az egesz Hollandiara kiterjedo akcio facebook-oldala itt van.

This year Anita from Miss Wings supports a country-wide action of the Sophia Children's Hospital in Rotterdam. In Breda she and Isabelle coordinate the crocheting of small squids, washed them measures them and sends them to the hospital to the premature-baby department.
You can buy the crochet-kits at the shop, make the squids yourself and send them back to the shop for control and desinfectioning. You can also sponsor it by buying the yarn and they will crochet the squid for you. The squids that are approved go to the premature department, the ones that are not approve go to the other part of the hospital.
And why squids: the premature babies in the incubator are trying to grab things in the incubator itself- mostly the wires. We agree on it that it is not good. So they get a steril squid into the incubator and they can grab the legs of the squid - that calms the babies.

So far I have crocheted 2 sqids, they are going back to Breda by post this week.
