Sorry, no photos today, I didn't get around to that. Although I'm making quite a progress on the squares for Grace, I just finished the 11th square! I've got a big book full of patterns, so that gives me an excuse to try out these patterns/make more squares for Grace... whatever way you'd like to see it.

The weather over here in Munich has been horrible for the past few weeks... we had temperatures of about 10° Celsius (that's about 50 in Fahrenheit), which is waaaaaay not enough! It's almost as bad as winter in Melbourne. Only that then, there's the advantage that you're in Melbourne (and there's no pollen flying around at that time of year in Australia). I think today's the first nice day in a long time, the sun's shining, it might even be warm - just in time for the World Cup. (Doh!) So, the city is going to be packed with tourist (even more than usual), especially when there's a game on. I will have to walk to Uni on those days, because the subway going to Uni is on the same line as the one that's going to the stadium. And because the buggers who were in charge of planning and building the stadium in Munich were too stupid to build enough parking lots, the majority of those who were lucky enough to get tickets (another story) will be forced to take public transport to the stadium. Well, actually they don't have a large choice of public transport, as only one kind is going to the stadium - one subway line. If anyone is reading this who has tickets for a game in Munich: Go to the stadium early. Like, a few hours early. I mean, there's nothing out there apart from the stadium, but I guess you don't want to be crushed in the train with a bazillion other soccer fans who probably went to the Hofbräuhaus to have a taste of real German beer (as it's not served in the stadium) and I think I have to stop here now or else I'll really go over the top. I think I wanted to say something about knitting for summer... oh yeah, right, I've started a gauge swatch for the Victoria Tank from Interweave Knits Summer 2004 issue with some nice Rowan yarn. I'll give you the details in the next post, along with some pictures!
