Munich and Socks

Yesterday C and I headed down to Munich and met up with Elemm and Cashyie from Knitters Uncensored for a yarn crawl and just hanging out. I, being the bad blogger that I am, didn't take ANY pictures while in Munich. Here's a recount of the day though with some pictures. Cashyie brought me an awesome present since today is Canada Day (Happy Canada Day Cashyie!):

Coke, Canadian Whiskey, and a cute little garter stitch scarf!

We then headed to various yarn stores around the city. I won't rat out anyone else's purchases (haha) but I bought a few skeins of Lana Grosse Royal Tweed in varying brown/grey colors for a scarf:

I also bought some yarn for my Facebook secret pal, but I won't post it on here in case she reads my blog. After hitting up the yarn stores Cashyie had to head in to work (grad school sucks, haha) and Elemm, C and I headed to the Victorian Tea House and drank some tea (and coffee) and discussed things like Wollmeise. Because C and I hadn't really been in Munich for much other than Oktoberfest before, Elemm was kind enough to take us to some touristy things like the gardens at Schloss Nymphenburg and the Hofbraeu Haus. The Hofbraeu Haus wasn't so bad tourist wise because we went upstairs in the beer garden. Elemm had pulled out his Jaywalkers and several people came up to talk with him about them. It was fun. Another knitter came and joined us...Celina (thanks Elemm).. and all of us (except C) had a good time knitting for a while. I turned the heel on my second Monkey and started on the gusset:

while Elemm finished his Jaywalkers. Celina was knitting some doll clothes. It was then time to head back and unfortunately I slept through some great knitting time on the train, haha. I did get some knitting done when I got back to my apartment though, and my tv knitting is coming along:

Simple Trekking socks (tv knitting)

So that was my day in Munich. I really want to thank Elemm again for being a great tour guide and putting up with going to touristy places. We had a great time!!

ETA: The scarf from Cashyie has found a new home with the french cat that C got me for Valentine's Day. Now it looks even more European!
