Knits in an unexpected place

Yesterday, 4 July, Tom and I decided to have one more day trip before I leave Germany for good. We went to Trier Germany about 1 hour away from our house in Kindsbach. We did the tourist type stuff, road the city site seeing bus around twice. It was great fun.



As we were going across the park to the museum, I noticed something I had never seen in person.  Two of the statues had knitted items on them. 

Even Tom was surprised, he asked how they got the wrist warmers on the statue as he couldn't see any way to move the arm.  I explained that they had the warmers ready but didn't sew them together until they were put on the statue. 

He seemed to be impressed.

Spending to much time on line?

I'm hooked on Pinterest.  They have the neatest of stuff.  If you haven't been there yet, check it out: http://pinterest.com/all/
It seems that if I'm not knitting I'm on Pinterest checking out their knitting pins. Since our house hold goods are on the way Stateside. There's not much I can do except knit and surf the web.

I've discovered that  living without much furniture can be done.  I still have some of my knitting stuff.  I'll put, most of that in my checked luggage. The baby blanket I'm knitting I'll carry on the plane. So far when I traveled between US and Germany I haven't had any trouble with my knitting needles.  I travel with wooden circular needles.  Hope that my luck holds out as I'll be changing planes in Pennsylvania instead of DC as I usually do.

The schedule is for me to leave Germany around 2pm (Germany time) on Friday.  I should be in FL around 8pm (East coast time).  I'm excited about leaving Germany and a little sad as Tom will have to stay another 2 1/2 months.  The time should go by fast for me as I'll be getting the house hold furniture delivered and trying to find a place for all the stuff we have.
As for the knitting/craft room, I've got that figured out (I think).  The room identified as Office space by the sellers, I'm going to use for "Knitone Studio". That's most likely the first room I'll work on.
