We moved … I’ve been terribly busy … and I’m homesick. Saying goodbye was so damn difficult that I couldn’t bring myself to say goodbye to the people I’ve met and have come to known. It was especially hard for Nugget, but the people of Erfenbach won’t forget her and have christened her an “Erfenbacher” — no matter where she lives, she’ll always have a home there.
Our life in this part of Germany is … different. It’s country, it’s flat, and I’m having a hell of a time with the dialect. There are a lot of cows, horses, some sheep too, and the surrounding cornfields remind me of Nebraska. During our househunting ventures, I saw a flock of sheep that appears to be Merinolandschaf. I have some of that fiber that I plan to spin soon and if all goes well, then perhaps I’ll contact the shepherd and inquire about their next shearing.
Sadly, there are no yarn shops near me. Not that online shopping has ever stopped me (and you know nothing beats copping a good yarn feel), but we did manage a road trip to Wolle + Design in Jülich-Stetternich that was amazing. They even do workshops and yes, I took pictures!
For now, I must go. I have new assignments to upload and Finals next month. If you left a comment, thank you, and I’ll reply soon :)
