<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I am knitting Gryer by Isabell Kraemer. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Gryer is a beautiful shawl I have knit before, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">but the yarn I used was not the best for this pattern.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> This time I am using Woolfolk TOV</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> (I found the yarn at 50% off)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> and love it so much more. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The colourways I'm working with are Natural, </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> like a "chocolate brown").</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It isn't as much about books as I hoped it</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> would be and after I read 1/3, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I forced myself</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> to start all over again because</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I had the impression I missed parts of the story</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> (which might be because I mostly read</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">My daughter loved to listen to stories (Audible),</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> but didn't like to read real paper books (except manga).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Part of the problem is that kids in Luxembourg</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> start reading in German, which is close to</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Luxembourgish, but still a foreign language. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">And listening is so much easier than reading</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> (because they are used to watching German</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> TV most of the time). </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">but I don't allow her to burn them in her bedroom,</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">So I gave her a YC Scenterpiece for Christmas</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> and had to buy one for myself :).</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> if I can find any new information</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> article, </span><span style="font-size: large;">actually just a few lines.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's in (old) Dutch and it announces</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> the 50th wedding anniversary of my</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> great-great-grandparents and the name of</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> the café where the reception is taking place.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> and thought it was important enough to</span></div>
