Another #baroque church for #WeekIforInteriors of the #AlphabetChallenge. The main altar in the church in Benediktbeuern. #Bavaria. Germany. I bet that big clock doesn't make time pass quicker when you have to sit through an endless scholarly sermon.

When I posted this a few days ago, how could I know today starts sweaters week #ShowMeYourKnits? So here it is again. Finished last week. Still very pleased with the way it came out.

There must have been great sinning to be atoned for by building this. Or at least financing the building.

Another #baroque interior for #WeekIforInteriors of the #AlphabetChallenge. The pulpit in the church at Benediktbeuren. And a rather lovely chandelier. #Bavaria. Germany.

Der Name des Kuchens/Rezepts ist "Japanischer KΓ€sekuchen" Der "Japanische KΓ€sekuchen" ist in meinen Augen ein Objekt. Ob der KΓ€sekuchen im Bild mit Japan was zu tun hat halte ich fuer fraglich, dennoch ist es unverkennbar "Japanischer KΓ€sekuchen". πŸ™‚

Japanischer KΓ€sekuchen ist wie Russische Zupftorte, das Japanische gehoert zum Eigennamen. πŸ™‚

I don't take pictures of interiors often. So for #WeekIForInteriors of the #AlphabetChallenge I'll be dragging out some #baroque churches in Bavaria. This is the one in Mittenwald.

Thank you. I'm glad you like it. And no, I have no plans to release the pattern. It's rather too closely based on something I came across online which I don't own the rights to. So would not feel comfortable publishing and/or selling. Hope you understand.

After weaving in ends for what seemed like an eternity, it's finished. The latest sheep jumper. 14 little sheep. Each a different pattern. Like a sampler of Nordic knitting patterns. Huge fun to design and knit!

To cheer myself up, a picture of the Husky. It even fits a few of today's photo prompts.

'Im Mittelpunkt' #FotoVorschlag - das Foto war schon mal unter Weidetiere, aber passt heute absolut. Die Herde stand da 20 Minuten mit respektvollem Abstand im Halbkreis um die fohlende Stute und dann das neugeborene Fohlen.

I'm really loving this week's animal theme of #ShowMeYourKnits. These are a few cat themed knits I've done. The alley cats sitting on the wall were particularly fun to come up with and to do.

Hopefully it's just delicate yarn and you can splice it when knitting. However, I think I'd put it all in a paper bag and place it in the over at low heat for an hour or two. Just to make sure any moths/larvae/eggs (or other insects) are killed and won't cause further damage.

Das erste, was mir zu dem Thema in den Kopf kam. Aber ich hab da unten nie ein Foto gemacht.
