Just to say hi! I'm here, occupied with the usual - children, work, house :)
I've resumed knitting the cotton/viscose
summer sweater I started last autumn, inspired by Gaby's black
Camellia. The process is very slow on 3 mm needles, the splity viscose thread makes the yarn difficult to work with. But I like the result so far and I'm almost finished, half way through the second sleeve.
And though if you ask me I would claim that I don't like black much, I've bought a new sweater worth of black cotton. I've been meaning to knit for Gaby a little black cotton cardi for school, so far I've got my eye on this interesting pattern from Verena 01 2014:
After which I think I'll knit this latest Vogue Knitting pattern, I'm totally smitten with this summer cardi:
And on another front, I can't help myself but tell you how proud we all are with our clever girl - not only did she reach the final round of the National Olympiad in Biology - she won the first place in the junior group! That's really, really huge - ranking first among students from all over the country, most of which study Biology as a major subject (her majors are Mathematics and Programming). Regretfully I don't have pictures from the Olympiad and the prize award ceremony, which was held in Momchilgrad.
Just a picture from the site of her school, with her teachers and other participants from her school in the final round of the Olympiad:
