I remember reading posts from other bloggers, saying things like ‘There’s too much going on in my life right now, so there’s no time for blogging’ and similar.
I always considered my blog as something more natural, just a medium to post my thoughts and ideas and sometimes even work as I get to it. If there’s no time than I will not do it, I said to myself.

Well, I realized, it is not that simple, after all. I am happy that I get some visitors and I celebrate every comment you make, so not posting for a longer period of time makes me a bit nervous to loose you (or to bore you), my readers.
On the other hand, there is so much going on right now, I don’t know where my head is. Work is very intense, two new projects are open, and the old ones are dragging behind. There’s so much going on with Tamara, I could go and on on about her. Than, there are small and big things like my cousing getting married last weekend. Or us, sitting in a broken car (with Tamara) on a highway on Friday evening (the day before wedding) on the way back from Koper where I went to have stitches removed from my operated leg. Or Sunday, full of sun, cooking food and enjoying ourselves at home, finally.

I could write a post about all of these, and also about my knitting, and how green the grass and the trees were in the park today. Probably this week will be more relaxed and I can write some about any of these things, mentioned here. Or some others, we’ll see.

I just had an operation on my left leg ten days ago, so I really didn’t feel like blogging.
But I did start working on Cherry and I have a good part of the back already done. I like this pattern a lot. It’s very simple to memorize and there’s just enough happening that it doesn’t get boring, but on the other hand, there’s also enough of right and left rows that you don’t have to work on the pattern all the time.

Photos WILL follow. In the evening. I promise.

I have finally finished the Spring park cardigan. No photos, yet, because I have to do the seaming, which - after re-knitting sleeves for three (!! 3 !!) times - is easy-peasy.

Now I have all the energy to think about my next project. Since I am using my Bosnian Yarn it should be something that is done rather fast, so I can start wearing it soon. That means, I am not going to experiment, I will just take a pattern I like and do it proper way. Sounds easy, huh?

But picking up a pattern… so, after browsing through Ravelry for three evenings I’ve come up with short list of these lovely projects.

Camelia (Ravelry link; or Kate Gilbert)

Cherry (Ravelry link or My Fashionalble Life)

I also like Arisaig (more info with photos on Knitty) and Colette (photos and info here), but these are my second choice.

So, what do you think?

We’re back from our short trip to Bosnia. It was a nice trip, especially since I visited one of the best yarn stores I know of ;) Here’s what I bought:

4 skeins of brown and 4 skeins of green cotton for myself:

and 4 skeins of St.george for Tamara:

We’ve had wonderful sunny weather, so Tamara enjoyed herself immensly:
