I’m back home!

Thanks to the Deutsche Bahn my dislike of travelling with public transport grew a considerable amount. On my way back home the train (note, not the common crappy cheap train stopping at every station but the ICE) was so crammed with people that it was impossible to get anywhere. Due to technical problems there were only half as many wagons as the train should have had and lots of people where mad because they paid for a reservation in the missing wagons and now had to stand for as long as 6 hours. Just awful.

Concerning Landshut: A really nice place to stay! I would share a few pictures I made with my mobile but I can’t find the adapter to connect it to the computer….   (maybe later)

One thing was really funny: on Friday I had a few hours before I needed to get back to the train station and so looked a bit around. After having searched for yarnshops in Landshut before I really didn’t expect to find anything just by randomly walking the streets. In about 30 minutes I found three yarnshops and one fabric store! Remembering that I have enough yarn I resisted the urge to went inside… at least the first two times. The third time I walked in…. and out again with a skein of sockyarn.  Nothing handpainted (there wasn’t any. Just the usual Lana Grossa and Regia stuff). But the skein of Regia in purple/grey/green just needed to get a new home….(you can see the skein on the photo but the colors are not true at all).

Thanks to working from 8 in the morning to 5 in the evening and not being used anymore to be standing on my feet and walk around without time to sit down for so long I was happy to sit down in the evening and knit a little. Mostly I worked on the Spina di Pesce (the Cat Bordhi socks were finished on the train ride to landshut). On the way back I couldn’t stop me from casting on a new pair of socks with the regia yarn I bought….

Yippee, tomorrow is sunday and I will see the spinning wheel! And I will be able to try spinning with it! Really can’t wait.
