i had to try out the yarn i bought on ebay! so i started socks with a leaf pattern in a light green colour. knitting with the untwisted yarn is not as difficult as i thought… but i’ll try to stop myself from going on before i finished my endpaper mitts. one at a time (at least i’m trying to tell that to myself 😉 )

tiramisu soap – my first try in soap making

so here it comes, my first try in soap making. a lovely tiramisu soap. it was so hard not to try and eat the stuff 🙂

this is what i did: dived my melt and pour soap into two parts.
part 1 – mixed it with coffee oil, coconut oil and brown food coloring
part 2 – mixed it with vanilla oil, coconut oil, one drop of yellow food coloring and real amaretto

then i poured it in layers into a cake tin. on the top i sprinkled a little cocoa.

it just smells incredible!

and this is what it looks like:

pink noel will live in dorset…

after showing off my noir shirt in a mighty boosh forum on ravelry, kitty from poole/dorset/uk fell in love with it (him? – who could hold it against her?! 😉 ).

so we made a „deal“, i got and printed a pink shirt and sent it off to england. i hope she likes it!!

new yarn

just bought this lovely sock yarn on ebay (fotos are property of fauveline – i’m just borrowing them until the yarn arrives and i can take my own photos 😉 )

i’ll try out these first and maybe order more then – they’ve got sock yarn in any colour you could wish for!
