Marvelous Discovery

The other day I came across a new tv-series called 'Sons of Anarchy'. It is about an outlaw motorcycle club, protecting the small town they live in from developers and drug dealers.

It offers so many things I love: motorcycles, tattoos, cool music, lovable bad guys, angsty characters and leather jackets. Ron Perlman and Charlie Hunnam are great in their roles and look quite at home in the saddles of their bikes.



So far there is season 1 with 13 episodes. A second season has been ordered.
More information on the show and the characters can be found on the official homepage:

Mittelalterliche Handarbeiten

Am letzten Wochenende fand in Seligenstadt der Zunft- und Handwerkermarkt statt.

Samstag war ich dort und hatte sehr viel Spass. Es gab viel zu sehen, leckere Dinge zu essen und ich habe mich noch mit netten Freunden getroffen.

Hier nur ein paar wenige Fotos von den Handarbeiten. Wer gerne noch mehr erfahren will sollte hier schauen: http://www.klatschmohn-seligenstadt.de/htm/handwerkermarkt.htm

Spinnen

Färben


Klöppeln

.... und die Wolle in ihrem Urzustand.

Schöne Wolle

Letzten Donnerstag hatte ich das Glück Dagmar von Wollerey.de kennenzulernen.

Sie hatte natürlich auch jede Menge ihrer Schätze dabei und ich habe mir von ihr ein Farbset für die Thuja-Weste in Doppio Wolle zusammenstellen lassen.

Von den Farben bin ich total begeistert und kann es kaum erwarten, dass meine Anleitung eintrifft, damit ich loslegen kann.

So sieht das Modell aus. In meinem Farbset wird sie bestimmt ganz klasse aussehen.

Sackboy

The first time I saw him I fell in love with him. I bought the PS3 game on the same day it came out and of course I wanted to knit him.

Luckily Alan Dart designed a wonderful pattern that made it possible.

Isn't this little guy just adorable?

Lovely Leon Lamb

A while ago I saw Fuzzy Mittens lovely lamb pattern and I just knew I had to make one.

So here he is, Leon!

He was made with leftover sockyarn on the magic loop. I think he turned out quite well.


If anyone is interested in making their own, the free pattern can be found here http://fuzzymitten.com/ or on Ravelry http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fuzzy-mitten-lamb.

New Model. Original Parts.

Having been a fan of the Fast & the Furious movies for many years now, especially the first one, I was looking forward to the new edition, but also a bit worried that it might not be any good. Fortunately my worry was for nothing. The movie was great and lots of fun!

Finally Dom (Vin Diesel) and Brian (Paul Walker) were together again in this movie and very true to character. Nice story, lots of action and cool characters.

Anticipation

With gorgeous promo shots like these my anticipation for the new Star Trek movie rises.
Release date is May 7th.


Chris Pine (James T. Kirk) and Zachary Quinto (Spock).
