Crochet at Landleven Winter Fair
maandag 21 december 2015
Ik was nog nooit in het Nederlands Openluchtmuseumin Arnhem geweest. Waarom niet? Geen idee! Maar toen ik door Scheepjes werd gevraagd om afgelopen weekend haakuitleg te geven op de Landleven Winter Fair in het Nederlands Openluchtmuseum, zei ik meteen ja! Zoals jullie weten, houd ik ontzettend van kerstmarkten, en het vooruitzichten van tientallen kraampjes vol handgemaakte producten, warme appel cider, vuurkorven en een enorme schaatsbaan met het openluchtmuseum als decor vulde mij met pure vreugd!
The Netherlands are not a very big country and we don't have that many open air museums. But the Netherlands Openair Museum in Arnhem is the most famous one. It's huge, and on it you can find actual historical buildings thet were built throughout the Netherlands since the beginning of times. It's beautiful. Yet, I had never been there. No idea why. So when Scheepjes asked me to be part of a huge winter fair and give crochet workshops in this grand museum, I said yes without even giving it a second thought. I mean... more than 100 stalls with handmade presents, food, crafts, apple cider. That sounds as good as a German Christmas market, well... as close as it gets!

Quick visit to the Leuven Christmas market
zaterdag 19 december 2015
Oké, nog één weekendje weg voor het werk dan. En dan eigenlijk alleen maar omdat de reis naar Leuven ging en ik daar nog nooit geweest was én heel nieuwsgierig was naar Leuven. Het schijnt namelijk de mooiste plaats van Vlaanderen te zijn en aangezien ik claim Vlaanderen goed te kennen, moest ik dat eens testen.
Alright, just one more worktrip before the end of the year. And I only went along because I would be visiting Leuven, and I had never been to Leuven. I was very curious about this town as it is supposed to be the prettiest one in The Flanders. Now, I always claim to know the Flanders quite well, growing up basically on the boarder, so I really wanted to see for myself.

A creative (christmas!) guide to Hannover
donderdag 10 december 2015
Ik moet het de Duitsers toch nageven: wat kunnen ze toch leuke kerstmarkten organiseren. Ik was vorig jaar in Keulen en het jaar ervoor in Konstanz. En dit jaar ging ik voor mijn werk naar Hannover. Natuurlijk leuke hotspots zoeken, maar ook naar de kerstmarkten! En ik liep écht totaal per ongeluk tegen een aantal heel leuke wolwinkels aan... goede combi dacht ik zo!
I really have to say: the Germans know how to do a proper Christmas market. I LOVE Christmas markets in Germany. There, it's out in the open. Last year I visited Cologne, the year before that Constance and now it was time to visit Hannover for work, of course, to check out the Christmas markets and all the nice highlights. But I just happened to stumble across some pretty nice yarn shops too. Sounds like an amazing combo, or so I think.
