May Recap

25/5/2015

Comments

 
The month of May comes to an end and it was one filled with joyful encounters, fun games and lot's of yarn in every aspect!
Mid May I was in Berlin at the wonderful BerlinKnits 2015 Yarn-Event, organised to perfection by the owners of Yarn Over Berlin: Marion and Steffi. There I met many of my "virtual" friends from all over Europe and had a blast while hosting two workshops.
I brought lovely yarn sponsored by Nice&Knit for each participant in both of my Anatomical-Knitting courses and there was a lot of knitting involved at all times!

Don't we look über-cool after the Sunday-Workshop???
The whole atmosphere at BerlinKnits was intoxicating - there was laughter and chatter everywhere and of course lots of yarn-touching and cuddling. The first evening we had the opportunity to see Berlin from the river Spree, on a full-blown-knitter's cruise and meet & mingle with designers and knitters alike...
(Below you can admire my most ridiculous star-struck face while chatting with Stephen West and Veera Välimäki!!!)

All in all it was an incredible experience and I think that everyone that was present or not is already preparing for next year's event in Berlin - the city to be!!!
But that wasn't the only thing happening in May: The second RevampKAL that was held in my ravelry group did come to an end and the winning project was this gorgeous mix of BlueSand Cardigan and SpringLines Pullover by Ariane (known as Raketenmaedchen on ravelry), here on the right...
The very close runner-up was figolilo's "Cherry Dalmatian" - a SpringLines revamp again with short sleeves and a gorgeous colour combination.... and then there were a ton of other really inspiring ideas and gorgeous projects!!!

Many prizes were waiting for all participants! Amongst patterns from great designers like Anke, Isabell and Nancy there was a lot of yarn, offered by great indy-dyers and shop owners, which made many "Revampers" happy... (click on the pictures to go to each site).

...and because everybody should leave this KAL with something more than new ideas for modifying and "revamping" their projects, all participants got the promise to receive my newest pattern CineCitta, as soon as it is published (for now it is still in testing phase... another thing that happened in May):

In the end and although it's still technically May, I announce this month as done and over with! It's already filled with so many great new memories anyway....
... So... hello to June!
