This is my weblog. I write about projects and stuff I build in my spare time, be it code or tinkering with physical objects. You can find out more about me on my Kneipenstricken
One of my goals for 2009 is to knit more. The possibilities for crafting are endless, but alas, so are the excuses I can make up for not doing it: I don’t have time for it, I would have to leave the computer, I don’t feel like knitting in hot weather, it’s boring to knit alone… these are just some of my favorite reasons.
When a friend and vintage hardware geek asked me to join his knitting group called “Kneipenstricken”, I knew I just had to do it. The idea is to meet in a bar and knit. Nothing more, nothing less. The bar is a punk/hardcore music venue in Köln-Mülheim and the looks we get from the usual crowd of vegan punkrockers there are special, but it’s a lot of fun. I picked up a project I started in December which is knitted Sushi. At the speed I’m working there it’s pretty possible that I’ll have something to show off very soon.
