In our back yard

... is a lemon tree. It feels so exotic to me to be able to just go out the door and pick lemons off the tree. It looks like we've got a whole bunch of them getting ripe soon and I'm trying to think of ways to use them. Maybe some gelato like Francesca, a lemon pie and lemonade. We'll see.

Enjoy your weekend.

ImagiKnit

ImagiKnit is the best knitting store in SF in my humble opinion. It consists of two huge rooms that are filled from floor to ceiling with every yarn worth mentioning (so there's plenty of opportunities to grope all of that soft soft yarn). Couches and chairs are available for knitting, relaxing or for browsing through the many knitting books and magazines that are for sale.
This is definitely my squishy heaven of colours and cozy.

Have a Happy weekend!

Randoms, lately

Morning light on the livingroom wall.


A house decorated for Christmas.




Misty

The sound of sirens and all that smoke. Sadly the house burned to the ground.

Another knitted Christmas gift. Pattern found here.

Four Barrel Coffee

This place makes a really good latte but, according to my dad, their regular coffee isn't anything special.  And really, you guys should listen to him because I'm not a coffee drinker at all and I only just recently started drinking a latte here and there. But if you're in the area you should definitely check this coffee shop out. It smells delicious of coffee (they have their own coffee roaster in the back of the store) and the interior design is pretty awesome.

Also, make sure to check out the cool shops, like Voyager and Taylor Stitch, that are in the same block as this coffee shop.

The Rikke Hat

A hat for me. Though as it is right now it might not get any use until next winter; the weather has been so sunny and warm lately.

It's knit in garter stitch and is super stretchy and comfortable. I added two tassels (inspired by this hat).
Also, my head is not actually that long in the back- it's just my hair taking up some room.

Pattern found here.

So close yet so far out

Pictures of Austin as I'd imagined it to be; a mix of wood, cactuses, old signs and colours. Unfortunately the weather wasn't that great while we were there, so these snaps, from our last half day there, are all I have of our outdoor adventures.
