Knit me, kitty

Today, uni starts again - ugh! But I spend the early morning hours just as the last few days - knitting! It's really quite addictive... and knitting in this super-loose way, you see results so much sooner than with 'normal' knitting, so it's great for people like me: with NO patience whatsoever!
Haha, I wish you another wonderfully sunny day as it is here!




Details on how I knitted this piece will follow once it is finished! :D

I've always known I must be a little bit crazy... not only did I realize that since my boy's mother asked me this exact sentence (isn't it great to know that you're loved? haha) but yep, inspired and kinda mentally supported by the wonderful and incredibly creative Shini from PARK & CUBE, I also dared to do it: last night I started knitting a black/red/silver/beige jumper inspired by the famous and perfect Rodarte shit ;) and let me tell you, wool is certainly NOT cheap in this country, damnit! But anyway, at least I got something to do now to keep me from eating or buying unneccessary things xD

I'm wearing this really cool vintage batwing sleeve sweater today that I found on ebay a while ago... it has a beautiful stitching detail showing a DEVIL PEACOCK!! haha... well, it must be, look at his eye!!! Scary, innit?
And then these Topshop leggins - tsk tsk... I dunno, they're cool, but you really have to combine them wisely cos they're so disco shiny crazy that it can very quickly look like it's "too much" :) and anyway, certainly too warm for today's weather! I had to change to shorts again later on!

Sorry bout the ranting, the heat is supporting my mindflow... maybe!

Today's modern 1800

Ahoy! Summerly greetings from Bremen I should say, although I'm already back home at this point! For easter saturday, we went up north to spend the sunny day at my grandma's and had lunch and cakes with her and my grandaunt at their place. Earlier, we went along the Weser (Bremen's famous river :D) and took a stroll down the quay! There was a huge flea market but not too many great finds yesterday I must say - why don't they sell clothing on too many German flea markets? Or at least nice accessoires? Nah, too bad...

I customised this teeshirt on friday night, as I had told you, and it turned out so cute to my eyes. Well, the blue shirt was actually a size XL knit plain tee that I made smaller in its shape by adding a double layer on both sides front (where you can see the vertical seams) and back. Then I pulled up the sleeves a bit and fixed them with two golden apple-shaped buttons on both sides (so cute, innit??) and finally added some white cotton neck decoration which reminds me a lot of 200 years ago fashion! I adore this shirt, although unfortunately it is a wee bit short for a tall girl like me to be worn as a dress. Anyone under 1,65 m could possibly wear it without shorts and leggins underneath!

Today another sunny day and still not tired of it - wheeheee!!
