Dear Community,
How are things going with crafting / your yarn life and in real life?

Yeah, there’s always something going on: I wrote some SONG LYRICS 👍🎶🎹
(I’ve always loved writing lyrics—songs and poems.)
A birthday serenade for the little town where I now live.
Because this year there’s a 650th anniversary celebration here
and the tourist office has chosen the song as its new anthem.
My husband wrote the music, and a singer from around here, with the right DIALECT COLORING in his voice, recorded the song.
(In the Bavarian Forest, there is a special Bavarian dialect!)
The anthem turned out to be a mix of Schlager and rock—really great for singing along!
The presentation will take place on the town square on May 14… I’m really looking forward to it.

I crocheted myself a Hexagion DRESS especially for this lovely occasion!🧶

For me, it’s all about crocheting.
Since I’ve been retired, I’ve had plenty of time to fully indulge in my hobby and passion. For me, it’s not just about writing patterns, but about the crocheted pieces that are created.
Colors, glitter, and special yarns simply make me happy. Even while I’m choosing the yarn, the finished result is already floating around in my head. 🥰

After designing many shawls with unusual patterns, I’ve recently moved on to clothing that I wear myself and feel really comfortable in.

Here’s an example without a pattern:
