I can’t believe how fast November went by. I am glad I did NaBloPoMo again this year and enjoyed writing, sharing and getting to know new and old blog people.
I do feel a bit bummed that I did not quite make it and missed out on a couple of days in the end (that’s why the shattered mirror). Surprisingly enough not because I did not know what to write about but because I ran out of hours in my day. That is also the reason why I have not commented as much as I wanted to on other blog posts but I am so looking forward to catching up on those in the next couple of days hopefully. The exchanges make the whole blogging experience so much more enjoyable.
Considering that I went to Germany for a week to help my dad pack and that we were traveling for another during school break I did more than I thought I would.
I did finish some more knitting and have the socks, scarf and hat for my dad finished. He even asked me if I could make him another scarf sometime on our last phone call (surprise dad). The other one is for my FIL. I bought the orange a while back and for some reason could not convince anyone about it. I think he may like it – I hope he will
Also in good old German fashion I made an Advents calendar for my kids. This year it’s ‘just’ 24 self wrapped small presents. They don’t like chocolate that much and the options here are limited. I held an Haribo one in my hand at the supermarket in Germany but that would have been all bend out of shape by the time it got here. But that was pretty much my evening entertainment the last two nights – wrapping 24 packages times two.
I hope I will write more in between this time around. Someone asked about Christmas Markets in Germany and I hope we can go visit one when we go this December. And I sure hope to be back next year for another NaBloPoMo.
Home here and there 
Those socks are amazing.
I think you did a wonderful job blogging through not one but two trips. That is really something to be proud of. And honestly I didn’t even realize you missed a day or two.
I am hoping to read many more posts from you outside of NabloPoMo

I am so glad you joined again this year, Meike! I loved seeing your posts pop up in my Feedly – and you did so well, considering that you were traveling twice!
I love all your knitting – one of these days you have to share some knitting tips and tricks. My next project is hopefully a sweater. I need to find some decent yarn that doesn’t cost and arm and a leg.

I was glad to be a part of NaBloPoMo again. I don’t even know why I did not blog more throughout the year. There always seems to be something else.
Have you tried Malabrigo Rios? I love that yarn and have made quite a few things (and it’s super wash what is a plus for me).

I cannot knit at all, and am SO IMPRESSED by your beautiful work! And congratulations on NaBloPoMo, blogging while traveling is always complicated. I always feel like I’m going to make time for it, but then it seems like a waste to be on my computer instead of out doing/seeing things, and especially since you were with family, you definitely did the right thing.

Thank you! I think for knitting, too it’s really ‘practice makes perfect’ or at least better. It’s handmade after all. I was on the fence about joining this year because of the travel but committing keeps me committed and I enjoy blogging – there is just always so much else to do.
