On Saturday, the long awaited knitting group gathered again. I don't have the transport to the other meetings around the city during the week, so I'm always very much looking forward to this one.
It was lovely, and despite the bank holiday very popular. We were hiding at the Dublin Castle green area again (the cafe was closed)
As foreigners we're not allowed to vote, but still need to look at the 'Vote No. 1' pollution every day going to work, coming home, going to the store, in our mailbox... Don't you think that the old saying might have some truth in it: 'Less is More'? election Worsted Knitt now has its own campaign:
The garden's starting to look really nice - I'm thinking that we'll get fresh salad and spinach in a weeks time, if the weather holds warm and the snails stay away.

Yesterday we finally met my cousin, who moved to Dublin a few months back, but unfortunately I hadn't been able to meet her before (for some reason her number had disappeared from my phone, and the email address didn't work, either!) Well, now we finally got togther. We first took the bus to the city, and see what someone had made: Yes, it is a origami swan made out of a Dublin Bus ticket. It was so lovely, I felt really touched - to make something so beautiful out of such an ordinary and very unaesthetic piece of paper.
