tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-115929492024-03-13T00:36:06.706+01:00HundgestricktHere 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 :-)Tinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00370838552387556024noreply@blogger.comBlogger438125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11592949.post-68121752702470524132016-10-13T21:18:00.002+02:002016-10-14T08:26:49.227+02:00Quite a while…<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">What a long time ago that last post was written! <br />
There had been some intention to start again a few times but for different reasons it
didn’t happen for real.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "minion" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Some things have happened since then in my life at the edge of the field, one of which
was the remake of one of our rooms where I now have a nice little workspace
that is actually useable.</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">
I get into a routine of sitting down here regularly for the purpose of -amongst others- creating
new content for the blog and getting back into reading my favourite blogs. I really regret not having all written little stories during those last months and my “Garden year” pictures to browse through in here.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">Well... from now on we will see my knitting and crochet again here, new yarn, my stash, my garden and surroundings, my running adventure, the dogs of course (there is a new addition to the pack), but also new topics like when I spent some time away from home and other trips, as well as new crafts.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">I do
hope I will see some of my old readers here again but also want to welcome new ones
eventually. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">Ready
for the journey? I definitely am!</span><br />

It is so nice to take them for a walk when the sun shines, but you can't imagine how they look when the ground is wet and sticky. A damp microfiber towel is my best friend right now! The girls are somewhat careful where they walk but sometimes all the lane is just one muddy puddle and there is no help getting at least dirty feet and som splashes of brown in the white coats ;-). Peio on the other hand doesn't care where he walks, an jumping into puddles is the biggest fun, or just walking through, or stepping in the deep mud while there is grass at the side...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Today I am taking part in the <a href="http://vicki-2bagsfull.blogspot.de/2014/01/welcome-to-grow-your-blog-2014.html" target="_blank">Grow Your Blog</a> party hosted by Vicki from <a href="http://vicki-2bagsfull.blogspot.de/" target="_blank">2 Bags Full</a> .<br />
Over five hundred people have entered their blogs to take part in the fun, to make friends, to gain new readers and to find interesting blogs we love.<br />
<br />
Expecting a few of these coming here I want to write a few words about me:<br />
My name is Tina, I am 44 years old (for nearly another month), and I live in South West Germany, in a region called Pfalz (Palatinate), that is known for growing wine, fruit, vegetables, and a rather mild climate. I am a vegetarian so I can eat a lot of local produce. I speak German, English, and French, and I am learning Spanish.<br />
In my spare time after work and on the weekends I love to be outside, to spend time with our four dogs, go for walks and runs and bike rides, to work in the little garden behind the house in which we have flowers, fruit and veggies, and a lawn for the dogs to run around.<br />
I also love to knit and crochet and sometimes cross stitch, and recently I found my love for photography again.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-umlU2yf1_lg/UmPRgct1SnI/AAAAAAAACTo/7fvfUAmfCCg/s1600/Foto+%25288%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-umlU2yf1_lg/UmPRgct1SnI/AAAAAAAACTo/7fvfUAmfCCg/s1600/Foto+%25288%2529.JPG" height="200" width="200" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The pond close by</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
And that's about it what I share here.<br />
I started blogging in 2005 (<a href="http://hundgestrickt.myblog.de/hundgestrickt/art/1212703/" target="_blank">first blog post</a> was on april 21 to be exact), as a log for my knitting in the first place. I had just found out about the SixSoxKnitalong where every two months a new sock pattern was released. I had read a few blogs first without having the urge to write one myself, but then it seemed a good way to show the pictures of my knitting.<br />
I also had wanted to post some pictures of the dogs, and when I thought about what name to choose I came up with "hundgestrickt" that is explained above in my header.<br />
In the beginning I only wrote in German, my native language, sometimes in English for international knitalong posts, or in French for a sweater knitalong with people in France. I also have tried to translate into both foreign languages, but that was just too time consuming, so I am sticking to international English. There is a translating tool button in the side bar for those not understanding English at all.<br />

I hope you enjoy browsing my blog, seeing my dogs (all rescues from Spain/Greece/and local shelters for those that are no longer with us), discovering my surroundings and my garden, and having a look at my knitting and other crafts. You can choose from the labels in the side bar to get you to topics that you are interested in.<br />

It must have been years ago that I saw a picture on the www that cought my attention. It was of a dogbed made from an old sweater. I think it was <a href="http://www.bichonfinder.com/?p=1134" target="_blank">this one</a> and I loved it and immediately had an old sweater in mind that I would use.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Took me until this winter to finally get around to tackle the project. Had two sweaters to use up, had a cushion, got another one and some stuffing for the sleeves.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It is easy but I found it a bit hard for my hands to deal with the fabric.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
You sew straight from armpit to armpit, stuff the sleeves from the neck opening and from their bottom openings, close the neck opening, stuff some more and straighten the stuffing. Sew the sleeve openings together so that you get a round tube. Insert a fitting cushion into the body of the sweater and sew the bottom close while attaching the sleeve tube all around. Tada:</div>

I am having such a lot of fun with this KAL, I'm so glad I decided to take part!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The second clue is done, too. It is the first part of the first mitten (other one will be different and I love the idea), and while knitting it and discussing the motiv in the group I learned that the mittens are based on the popular children's book "The secret garden" by Frances Hodgson. I hadn't known it before, so I got it to read as an e-book as well as an audiobook so I can listen to it while knitting on the mittens. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even more fun! It is very interesting to see all the different mittens in the discussion thread, all those different colour combinations, and the group is very supportive and motivating.</div>

I posted this key chain back when I had made it. But I like it so much, I really have to smile each time I have it in my hand. It holds the garden key and when I went to the garden door the other day I thought I could take a picture again to repost it.<a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-6n0Pj-PQpMQ/UtOrwlumuMI/AAAAAAAACaQ/lmmI3Ie15Lk/s640/blogger-image-2030802428.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-6n0Pj-PQpMQ/UtOrwlumuMI/AAAAAAAACaQ/lmmI3Ie15Lk/s640/blogger-image-2030802428.jpg" /></a></div>

It hurt me to drill a hole through the middle of it to thread my braid through it. But I knew the result would be cute... Added a few beads and that's it.</div>

Isn't this branch promising? In the middle of winter there is already the new life in these buds, ready for spring to come. Right now it isn't "wintery" at all, with lots of rain and temperatures around ten degrees Celsius during the days. The fields and paths are very muddy, most days are just dark and grey. Still I try to find the tiny bit of light in each of them!<br />

The fun has started. First clue was the cuffs which was the same pattern for both mittens. I learned a new technique for creating the red stitches which are "rose buds" along the stem. Perhaps the stems would stand out more if I had held the yarn in the other hand, as always the yarn that comes from under the other one is the one that is dominant. But I still love the look of it.</div>

I am SO excited to take part in a knitalong again!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
A secret mittens KAL! I am hesitant to take part in mystery kal as you don't know if you will really like the finished object as you have no idea what you will knit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
But here it is different as (for me at least) as I love all of the designers knits. This is <a href="http://torirotsstitches.blogspot.de/" target="_blank">her blog</a> .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
First clue will be released on January first...</div>

And I love it. I hadn't really thought that would be something I could myself enjoy with, but when my friend Virginia from the <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">blog <a href="http://www.locaxmisgallinas.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">locaxmisgallinas</a></span> told me it were really fun and addictive I decided that just having a look wouldn't hurt and I signed up.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Not only did I not feel like posting here for a while, I also didn't knit a lot during summer. But I think I am back to both again. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here are some socks in progress. I lo</span>ve having variety to choose from when picking up the needles ;-)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I remember being absolutely enthousiastic when starting them and I had thought taking part in another knit along would keep me knitting, but as I know now, it didn't help any. No problem, I can still enjoy knitting and wearing them on my own. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So here's the Tränendes Herz (bleeding heart) socks that I started as a kal. As ours in the back yard is a white variety I finally knew what to use that cream white yarn for. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="400" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-VDwxqu2f5vo/UmUgcKYgGDI/AAAAAAAACVE/kjpHYQS6MKg/s400/blogger-image-438477701.jpg" width="300" /><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next are the Norfolk Rambler socks that I found in the back of the drawer and that I had completely forgotten about...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="300" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/--QFlAEi6cHU/UmUgY7KrFtI/AAAAAAAACU0/u_etGVGuD4I/s400/blogger-image-1789667876.jpg" width="400" /><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And - even one sock is already finished - plain stockinette toe ups for me, blueberries'n'cream. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="400" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-7A0RdxAbpTI/UmUgau7l3-I/AAAAAAAACU8/uLzt6FT4S_g/s400/blogger-image--236587240.jpg" width="300" /><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is a pair I am knitting for my Sweetheart, I call them the curry socks for their colour, in my standard stockinette "pattern".</div>
