Thank you.
I'm sorry you have to experienced it as a child. It's so painful. On the kind-of positive side, it sounds cool to have "very strong veins."

First time I heard about this, I was six or seven, it actually scared me (and my cousins) straight for at least a week of our winter holiday.
Grandma was so happy the German students she was hosting told us about it 😆

I'll try the weights for sure, but this was actually the first time it's ever happened.
Yes, one of my arms is a hard tap, but the other one's never been a problem. Plus, my hands are generally super easy.
It was a bad combo, I think. First nurse was inexperience, second got nervous by proximity. 😭

oh, no! 🤭

It's getting better, but it wasn't pleasant. 😮‍💨

☺️

Thank you, that puts a positive spin to my not very good morning. 😁

Love this! 😍

Congrats! 🥳

It does, which is another great perk of doing it 😉

Awwww! 🥹

She doesn't 😂
I knitted it a few years back, thinking about how she's always burying her head in a blanket to stay warm, but she detests the hood and doesn't stop shaking her head until it falls back.
I still think she looks cute in it.
Your Ozzie also looks very smart in his sweet pullover.

The one I've been experimenting with is so easy. I adjusted flour weight ca. 40 gr and got better yeast, but it really is so very easy... much easier than having to get into my winter biking clothes and pedal to the bakery. Of course, I need to mix the dough the night before, but that's nothing...

Our old girl is called Ossie

beautiful!

I hope everyone is okay and dry (no pun intended). Wishing you a quick reunion with another nice pint.

The one right there is my favorite book ever. It's so apparently calm and slow, but it has currents and under currents of things happening, and the writing is great... I think it's time to re-read it again. The whole saga in fact.

Enjoy the next one!
