Summer knitting
I've been knitting socks lately, sitting on my sunny balcony. This yarn I got last May at an annual wool/craft market close to Groningen. I love the color transitions, not too stripey (although nearly) but still interesting. I don't remember the vendor, but the yarn is made by

I am SO HAPPY that you are back! I have always loved your projects- I am Dutch too and came to Canada when I was 2 years old. Hope your little one is doing well.

Saartje, leuk weer eens wat van je te lezen!
Zo te lezen missen meer mensen je.
Een pauze in bloggen is prima, zelfs stoppen kan goed zijn, als je maar noooooit stopt met het plezier wat breien je kan geven!
Goed te lezen dus dat je nog steeds wel breit. Heb van hetzelfde garen sokken gebreit, ze blijven erg mooi in de was.
Kom je nog eens breien bij ons??
Dikke knuffel voor je lieve dochter, hoop dat alles goed met haar, jou en je dierbaren gaat.

Welcome back! I was wondering if everything was okay with you, and considering asking on Ravelry, except it might have been weird, given that you wouldn't know me from a bar of soap!

En? Heeft de Hoegaarden gesmaakt? (zie ik op de achtergrond...). Voor mij is witte wijn de zomerdrank, maar dan moeten de sokken wel 'mindless' zijn.

Wat leuk dat je terug bent! Ik ben een enorme fan van je werk!
Posted by: Naja at July 8, 2009 3:07 PM
fijn dat je weer terug bent, heb je in de tussentijd nog wel gebreid of heeft dat ook een tijdje stip gelegen?
in ieder geval staat er nu weer een sok op de pen en dat is goed te horen!
groet, Karin

Hurray from me also that Saartje i back on line! I second all that the previous bloggers have written. You are truly inspirational and I also wish you and you family well - and please keep up the great work with your posts.

Welcome welcome back. I have missed your blog. You are indeed inspirational. Your daughter is beautiful and so grown up. Happy to hear your hiatus was just from the blog...not from knitting.
Glad to hear someone has sun...It has rained for months and months in Maine.

Missed you,

Hoi Saartje, Wat een verrassing dat je weer terug bent van weggeweest, zo te lezen heb je vele fans die graag je breiwerken willen volgen. Mooie wol heb je voor die sokken gebruikt.

Greetings from the US! I love your posts. I found your Noro hat pattern on Ravelry. I just finished and it turned out great. I'm very new at knitting and your instructions were easy to follow. Thanks for your inspiration!

I love your patterns! My Friesian husband and I are expecting a daughter in Jan or Feb and I can't wait to knit your booties!
Dank u en tot straks!

Just knitted a pair of Saartje's booties for a friend... they are beautiful.
Thanks so much for sharing your pattern with us. We do appreciate it. Will put your site on my favorites.

Hi Saartje,
Have you considered modifying your fantastic booties pattern for adults? I think they would make great slippers!
Can't you imagine having several pairs available for house guests to wear when visiting in the winter?
