Comments on: Claudia The Wollmeise in The Loopy Limelight! http://www.theloopyewe.com/sheri/2008/03/claudia-the-wollmeise-in-the-loopy-limelight Keeping up with Sheri's Loopy Life....

Great interview, Loopy! And I love the picture...Claudia, you and I shared the exact same hairdo/color at that age...I still wear mine pretty much that way - a bob!!! (My dad used to tell me if our top of the kitchen stove toast burned, "Eat it, Joni! It'll make your hair curly!" I'm still waiting!") I've only been able to snag one skein of Wollmeise...always seem to miss out. Maybe this week???

First grade you should learn writing, counting and reading. We hold "Schultüten" they are filled with sweets and the adults are knowing very well why they gave us all the sweets, pure deception for the coming years (secret: the bottom was filled with paper, swindle!). Did you see our pantyhoses? The legs are always to short and the gusset always moves to the knees, hate it. You want German recipes? Here´s a little brain twister Wollmeisennester 100 g brauner Zucker 75 g Butter 50 ml Ahornsirup Zesten von einer ¼ Zitrone 2 EL Rosenwasser 75 g Mehl 75 g Mandeln gehäutet und gemahlen Zucker, Butter, Sirup aufkochen. Mehl, Mandeln, Gewürze einrühren und kalt stellen. Haselnussgrosse Kugeln formen, ca. 6 Stück auf ein Backblech und bei 175 Grad backen. Die Kugeln laufen stark auseinander und sollen sofort heiß nach dem Backen zu Körbchen geformt werden. Als flache Plätzchen schmecken sie genauso gut, alles Unsinn. Translation follows after you tried it ;-) Hi, thanks for your lovely comments (okay “60 years old” made me nervous and musing ;-))

I'm fascinated with Claudia's "first schoolday" picture. I assume that is like our first day of kindergarten. What are the girls holding? Please tell us the story behind the picture. You've peaked my interest! Enjoyed the interview, Loopy. I’m fascinated with Claudia’s “first schoolday” picture. I assume that is like our first day of kindergarten. What are the girls holding?

I am sure it will be amazing! I actually received my first (and only so far) 80/20 sock yarn (suzanne colorway), from a ravelry trade. I hadn't realized how vibrant it would be in person. The computer screen can't capture it properly at all. Now, I understand why people go crazy for it! I can’t wait to see what Claudia has dyed up for the sock club. I am sure it will be amazing!

I was too late in registering--my own fault! Imagine meeting Claudia! That's going to be truly amazing because she is such a gifted person. I'm also anxious for the sale of Wollmeise...........missed when it was on her site the last time. I have some of Claudia's gorgeous yarns but covet more, more MORE! Each is lovelier than the next. I know my Wollmeise stash is going to be a BIG problem. Congratulations Sheri, Loopy and Claudia for a great interview!

I love to hear Claudia talk. I've read some of her entries in the Woolmeise Group. One thing I was surprised to learn was how young she is. I imagined a lady in her 60's - don't know why, but it was an image I formed in my head. I'm glad that's now cleared up:) I hope she continues bringing us fabulous colors for many years to come.
