The view from the terrasse/patio
Here I post about my knitting, my dogs, my garden and other things that keep me busy. Hundgestrickt is a word that I invented combining the German words for "dog" and for "knit" making it similar to "handgestrickt" for handknit (think of "houndknit") as that's what this blog is mostly about :-)

Back from a mid-Sunday walk
and if I leave the back door closed all you can see around here is this:
These pictures are from last Sunday but it is not different today.
When I open the back door, they are awake immediately to go play, check out the neighbours' bunnies and eat some strawberries. (Yes they do eat them!) And then eventually lay down in the grass. For an instance. Then restart.
But for now we are quiet inside.
Have a lovely sunny Sunday and
Thanks for coming over!

Today 22 years ago...
Sweetheart and I started dating!
We had met before, but grew close to each other while on a university-trip to London and that's where it all started and hasn't come to an end :-) No wedding but perhaps that's part of the secret?
We have lived in a few places together but have now found our home in Kerbihan that we made into our lovely place and where we have our beloved little garden and our four doggies. (Two of the dogs we had together had already have to go.)
We wanted to celebrate the day with trying
out a crêperie in a town not too far away, but when driving to the supermarket that morning for grocery shopping I had the frugal idea of making galettes and crêpes at home and sit on the patio and sip cidre! And so we did! We had a great day!
Thanks for coming over!

PS - you know now where my love for England comes from??? :-) but unfortunately we haven't been there again since

Red scarf on Work In Progress Wednesday
Another "first time" for me:
Taking part in WIPW. With the scarf that I have started for this months RED on the PS5. After the first few inches of knitting I wasn't sure if I liked it but now I am! It will be nice!
What do you think?

This is the ball of yarn I found in my stash that has some red in it. (Except that left over sock yarn bit from a cardi I made for my niece.) I even had thought I even hadn't any but there it is!
I want to knit a little decorative summer shawl to pimp up some s imple top or blouse. Pattern is the Ribbon Drop Scarf.
Looking forward to start it tonight while watching TV after having finished my little white cardi!
Thanks for coming over!

May garden
Spring is fully here. The early bulb plants already gone. First roses opening up! The little hedge rose we planted last year is in full blossom already - out in the fields they start to open, too.
April was way to warm and dry compared to previous years!
Thanks for coming over!

PS5 RED in MAY
So, this is the first day of Project Spectrum 5!
When I went for my afternoon dog walk yesterday I had taken my camera for a few new doggie pics. Suddenly a single flower in the grass made me stop in my tracks after having it passed already :-) Here it is:
