It's time to pick up needles & pins again.

Three years ago, I had a desire to go to college and learn Spanish, mainly for purpose of me touring Spain on holiday. Sadly, on investigating the college timetable, it turned out not to be suitable. Disappointed but determined to undertake some learning I investigated the curriculum and discovered I could learn accounting. This was particularly suitable for me as I had worked as an accountant in my home country of Estonia.

Now, three years on, and it’s all over. I still have to wait for the final results but I have done it!

The most difficult aspect for me was the English accounting terminology and I had to work very hard on that.

Over the last six months I have been ignoring my knitting but now it’s time to look for new yarns and fabrics; a really good feeling, believe me.

As a reward for all my hard work I have bought myself an overlocker. As a starter project I have sewn two bags for clothes pegs. The materials used are, children’s t-shirts, quilted cotton batting and the hangers that come with lingerie.

Oh how I love my overlocker; how did I manage without one before?

Kolm suve tagasi oli mul plaan minna kolledźisse hispaania keelt õppima, lihtsalt niisama, turismireiside tarbeks. Kursusi uurides selgus, et mulle sobival ajal kursust pole. No uurisin siis edasi, mis kursused toimuvad nii, et saaksin käia. Selgus, et raamatupidamine! Kuna ma kodumaal olin aastaid sel alal töötanud, otsustasin end proovile panna. Ja nüüd sai siis kool läbi! Vaja veel viimase eksami tulemust oodata. Tükk tegemist oli inglisekeelsest terminoloogiast läbinärimisega. Viimane poolaasta möödus käsitööta, aeg on lõngad-kangad jälle välja otsida. Päris hea tunne on :) Premeerisin end sel puhul overlok õmblusmasinaga. Esimeseks harjutustööks said kaks pesulõksukotti. Materjalideks kasutasin väikeseks jäänud lasteriideid, tepitud vatiini ja riidepuid, mis pesu ostes kaasa tulevad. Esimene sai väheke kõverik, teine juba veidi parem, vajab harjutamist. Oi, mulle meeldib see masin! Kuidas ma küll varem ilma hakkama olen saanud?!
