Immigrant to the Netherlands, very proud of my new country.
Interested in geopolitics and knitting. We now know that we can combine both...

"Fophef" is a brilliant new Dutch word. It means a fake hysteria about something, and I'd love to know if there's an equivalent in English...

Back in 1980, as a teenager, I bought a military coat at a surplus store in Switzerland. My boyfriend painted a Chinese dragon on the back, with my name. I have it still!

Pick up the phone! Avoid stupid ping-pong app exchanges that only achieve frustration!
Don't leave a trail of messages that could later be used against you!
Especially e-mails with Jeffrey Epstein...

What's he going to do? Shoot folks who have the wrong sippy-Cup?

It was really difficult to watch Trump's speech today, bc of the glare from the bright red-and-white stripes in the background.

Also, do you want a piece of cheese?

Get up, stand up! Stand up to the bear!
Punch him in the nose, you'll see, he's not so brave
Especially if we all do it together
Watch him run away
Scared, tail between his legs..

Kindle sock! Could definitely take a fancy wool stripe...

If you knit mittens, everything above the difficult thumb part could be in fancy wool. Even better if it's for a cyclist: show off your knuckles and keep them warm at the same time!
Quick knit...
Tip: leave an extra long tail when you pick up the thumb for darning over gaps.

This is the ivy we saw today, buzzing!
Do you have this where you are?

Knitting a kindle cover...
And no, I'm not knitting it around the kindle. Just chuffed to bits that I got the gauge right and figured out the Turkish cast-on.
Going to top it off with an inch of ribbing. No fastenings, don't want to scratch it.

The rain is coming up from behind me, it's coming up from the rear
Looking out it's all sunshine, but right now it's raining here

Now they're fighting back!

My daughter and her friends marching in support of safety for women and girls. Very proud of them!

Oy oy! I love that I can order a home-made, beautiful piece of jewelry from an artisan in Ukraine!
I don't have to pay extra customs duty, it's all in the original price.
Europe and Ukraine apparently have a really good deal going..

Buy Ukrainian! This is for me to wear at my daughter's wedding. Symbol of the stork, bringing new life and sunflowers for sunny positivity.
Now I can figure out what to wear...

Thinking about the hikers who set off this evening on a 20-hour walk around the Dutch island of Goree-Overflakkee. 100+ km, starting off at 19u, walking into the night.

Spider wars or spider mating?

80's carrot-shaped jeans, rolled up with this belt. Saskia came back from summer holiday in the Netherlands, and then it was ALL THE RAGE!
Had to loop the belt end over in a half-knot, so it pointed downward. Very specific.

Some of your drawings throw me back to reading Kipling's "The Just-So Stories"
