Under Contruction ================= Windy Scarf by Martin Storey Norbu by Marie Wallin The Rowan Softyak DK Collection pattern book ================== The segment “Are Knitters like Australian Magpies“ was based on the episode “The colourful life of the Australian Magpie“ from the program “Off Track“ on Australia’s Radio National. This is a wonderful program looking at diverse range of topics around Australia’s natural environment. Presenter Ann Jones does an amazing job of painting pictures in words, with interviews, commentary and sounds from the field. It’s available as a podcast and is a treat if you have any interest in Australian wildlife. Interview with Ulrike Janssen ============================= Ulrike Janssen is owner of Maschenwahn - which is German for “stitch-crazy“. You can reach the shop easily from the Frankfurt Airport, by taking the S8 in the direction “Offenbach (Main) Ost“ or the S9 in direction Hanau Hbf. Get off at the stop “Ledermuseum“. The trip by train is around 26 minutes from the airport. You would be very welcome to drop by for a tea or coffee and some good German cake, a chat with Ulrike and her customers, and a browse of her wools and patterns.
