Mum’s long visit this month is coming to an end. It’s been lovely having her here for Luca’s birthday, to knit with her and it was fun to have her appear on this episode!
Although it was a challenge at first. The birthday jumper from Granny turned out rather well! Luca wore it on his birthday and was very pleased to also have a pirate ship cake made by his mama…

Mum (Craftyseabird) has gone home with her second project on the needles and when that’s done, I’ve advised her to follow a good knitting lesson plan like Tin Can Knits Simple Collection but we’d love to know what else is out there to inspire new knitters.
Knitting
I finished the arm of the sweater I have had for a few months on the needles. Luca was very pleased to have it as one of his birthday gifts! Bonny is gradually growing and I have started designing a slipper-sock in my gorgeous new burnt orange yarn from Serendipidye.
Giveaway
I’ll be giving away another worsted weight merino from Serendipidye in lovely shades of aqua. For a chance to win, please tell me what you would like to knit with it here.
Craftalong
Congratulations to the winners!
We’ll be having our last craftalong of the year this month, so let’s enjoy it!
Enjoyment
No more searching for things in boxes! The house is really taking shape and we have started working on the garden.
I took Mum’s visit as a good excuse to visit a few flea markets in Berlin, but mostly we’ve been exploring and enjoying the new house and surrounding area. I can slowly see myself becoming a country girl and I have to admit I’m rather happy!
