Finally I could pick up my new bike at the store. It is a Contoura porto in metallic light green with a Shimano 8-Gear Alfine gear change, B+M Cyo R LED 40 Lux for the light and 28" Marathon tyres. (okay a lot of technical details, which nobody is interested anyway...)

I really, really like the colour and I already use it yesterday to move around. I drove to a friend for a gamers afternoon (DSA - Role playing) and moved on to a birthday party. Besides, that I missed my way and come 20 minutes too late it was fun!

Today I took pics of it:

I also bought two bags, which can be attached left and right from the luggage rack. Each contains up to 20 l.

I never locked up my old bike, but for this I bought also a new lock. I guess this one might attract more interest than my old one!

I also got a basket for free (but on the other hand I also spent quite some money).

During making my pics, I also found the air-pump:

A last shot:

I hope the weather will allow me to use it a little bit before it gots too bad!

Some might be missing my organizing stuff. Yesterday I did an extra and deceiced, that my little table besides my living room chair must be cleaned. Theoretical it should be used, that I can have a cup of tea nearby or to lay down the book I am reading or the pattern I am using...pratical - it was just full with everything:

I also cleaned out underneath (I won't mention, that somehow I found needles from last years Christmas tree) and I sorted through my little red magazin rack (there only the newested edition should be - ready for reading. Of course there was a lot of other stuff!)

You think I was quick at this? No, because I rearrange the area (if you look close to the picks you can see, that the table moved). It took me a while, till I find a solution, which me pleased. It just come to my mind during cleaning, so there is no before pic.

So still no "real"progress at my challenge and still photos and fridge left.

Stash Down A to Z Each month, we will be selecting a letter and consulting our queues to knit or crochet a pattern that begins with that letter. Join us on our alphabetical journey as we whittle down our stashes and our queues!

So here I am back to report my progress in my alphabetic stash/queue down. Sadly my Avalontop is not yet finished, but I started the second sleeve today and I hope to finished it tomorrow. Then only blocking and weaving ends is left.

Here you can see a-not-so-good-picture of my progress. I wanted to make a second one, but my camera batteries failed me. They are recharging right now. Next week I can hopefully show a good pic from a finished garment! I must admit it looks a little short now. I hope I can block it a little bit longer. Why did I not notice before?

And I also finished a Non-A-Project, a little cowl quickly crocheted from only one skein of Lang Yak.

So I am back again with my alphabetic stash down. First of all I have to admit, that I sneaked in a S-pattern (which would be for April 2013 if I didn't misscount), but it was a gift for a friend (see also yesterdays story).

As she knows my blog and might read it, I couldn't say anything earlier about it. I finished it on Friday (after two evenings of crocheting) - just in time to give it to her on Saturday. She finished her studies in autumn and this was my gift for her. She is a very nice friend and really deserve something special for that day.

So here comes (again) the Spring Water Frill Scarf:

But I was also a good girl and finished the Acacia-Scarf for my mom. So at least one A-project is finished. Here you can see me modelling the scarf before blocking and - obviously - before weaving in ends:

Tonight it was finished blocking and I could weave in and cut ends:

I wraped it up as it is a gift for my mom. Technically it is a Christmas gift, but it is already cold now. So I will give it her early:

Now I hope to finish my Avalontop on time!

Yesterday I met a friend from Poland. She stayed in Munich for 1 year for studing and I help her a little bit (like finding a place to stay for her).

Now she finished her studies and wanted to invite me for a lunch. I voted for a India Place, so we went there. On the way they made a stop in a flower shop and bought me this lovely flowers: Their father wanted to say thank-you too and ask them to buy me some flowers. Aren't they lovely?

And I got also some polish sweets called Tiki Taki. It's a chocolate candy with coconut and peanuts. I fear I found a new addiction...

Luckily I also had a present for her. A little scarf I crocheted. It't the Spring Fill Scarf, so please don't tell my Stash-Down-Group as it is not an A-pattern. I like how it turned out and want to make one for myself.
