in - betweens

Here are some of my in-betweens for this moment

A large part of Europe is caught up in a cold spell of winter

so I'm knitting a new pair of socks.

Because I had nothing "on the needles" for the Stitch'n Bitch club

on Saturday, and I gave away a pair (that were slightly too big)

to a visiting friend with cold feet yesterday.

When it's freezing weather like this 3/4 of our population

is hoping that the freezing period lasts long enough to make the ice

strong on all the small and big canals and lakes we have:

ice skating is a national sport !!!

I learned that Sara badly needed to knit a vest because

many houses in Spain don't have heating !

And for the newborn daughter of a nephew I made a small drawing

( I dread the moment my Karisma box of coloured pencils will be over and out

I still have some replacement, but after that ....nothing : out of production ! )

And because it is December 1 :

special awareness day for aids

( Can you imagine that many young people today are not having safe sex because

they rather take pills afterwards, when they are hiv infected ?

... incredable when you see the results of this disease in Africa )
