Disco Christmas Wishes

Happy Holidays!

Almost unstoppable!

Mr. CP declared it so! The day provided 14 inches of snow on which to test the unstoppability. The truck passed the test! He is much more pleased than with the prior vehicle. Score one for Dodge! It is the little things in life!

...and I finally made it to the post office!

Wolle nervana!

Ulm, DE 2008/12/06
It is the Weihnachtsmarkt here in Ulm, but of greater interest to a knitter like me is the price of yarn at the Woole stores. Sock reinforcement yarn- USA $3.50, DE-.5 Euro!!!! Sock yarn: 6 Euros--$12-13 at home for the same stuff. I could live here...decent prices on yarn, good beer, and without study, my terrible, but adequate to engage in commerce, German is serving me well.

You know how we love bargains!!! ...and one of the bargains here is sock yarn! Interestingly though, no size "0" needles--and you would think that here people would need very tightly knit socks--as it is cold, and they spend a lot of time outside (you have to walk everywhere from the parkhaus in the sleet). But I have two more cities to look!!!

Ulm, the first stop on the great sock yarn acquisition mission of 2008!!!

P.S- Nice museum of bread (honest) and the tallest church spire in Europe too!!
