101

As you may have read, I'm getting married this month. I have a gorgeous sleeveless dress, so I needed to knit something to cover up in case it was cold. So I made an Ishbel shawl. It's gorgeous, just perfect! I am so proud of myself for knitting lace, with actual laceweight yarn! By the way, that's one off my 101 list, which I've just updated. But now back to the shawl!

The specs:
Pattern: Ishbel like mentioned, the larger size.
Needles: 3,5mm circular, not specifically designed for lace or anything.
Yarn: Malabrigo Lace in colourway "Forest", ca. 60 grams, so just over one skein!
Started in April, finished early June 2009.
Modifications: none whatsoever.

I adore this shawl and I really hope the wedding day will be suitable for wearing it!

One of my 101 in 1001 goals is finished (well, it's not the only one, but the only I've got photos of)

Me and Nick went to Kettwig some time ago. Kettwig is a small town, now a part of Essen, but previously a town of it's own. There's a lovely old city center, and a river, along which it's really lovely to walk on a sunny day. Unfortunately I forgot my hat, so we couldn't walk too long, as I get sun sick if exposed to the sun too long, so we headed back to Essen quite quickly. Short but lovely visit!

I found this site a while back and thought the idea was great - but didn't do anything at the time. Now I came across it again, and thought why not? I've been looking for a direction to my life, and it is known to me that I work best towards goals.

So here's my list. I will be updating it here, and blogging about special reached goals. I think I'll add a link to the side bar for this, so one can easily find it, and also adda "101" tag to the postings. So, but now the list:
