Two new squares! After a visit to Amsterdam with a friend, talking about not knowing what to knit next, we started brainstorming about some possebilities. Which resulted in these two squares.
First, and I'm quite proud of this one, scar. Cause you know, what else to put on your playlist while driving to Amsterdam than the cast album of the Lion King musical.
I don't know how well known PRR....TALILOE is in the rest of the word, but in the Netherlands it's part of almost everyones childhood. It originates from a book 'Pluk van de Petteflet' written by the marvelous Annie M. G. Schmidt. In English I believe it is known as 'Tow Truck Pluk'. Pluk encounters many lovely and weird animals in the book, one of wich is 'de krullevaar' which I really can't describe, so I encourage you to look it up, it's lovely. This krullevaar has orange, curly haired (?) feathers, and it's call goes....you guesed it....PRR....TALILOE.
I will be embroidering one of these orange feathers on the square, but this'll have to wait for the arival of the mailman. Bacause for one or the other reason I keep loosing my woolneedles. And only those aparanty, normal sewing needles aplenty.
So, needle shortage also results in not being able to attach the squares yet, but here are the six squares that will be making up the new row on my blanket to be.
