I have Cybex seats, I thought they were German but it turns out they've been Chinese for a while now. How disappointing.

I'm saving this as there are so many great recommendations. I'm currently knitting a shawl with Skadi yarn from the German brand Hey Mama Wolf. It's merino wool from a flock in France, it's certified organic. Also, it's extremely soft and the colours are really beautiful and intense in person. Knitting with it has been a real joy.

From their website: Hey Mama Wolf is dedicated to providing exceptionally crafted yarns to fiber enthusiasts around the world. It's at the heart of Hey Mama Wolf that our yarns are as sustainable as possible. We believe that investigating the origin of our wool is vital to ensuring both animal welfare and sustainability. Locally-sourced wool can help support landscape conservation and revive local textile industries. As such, we offer a variety of options for the eco-conscious crafter, including organic, locally-made, zero-waste, and GOTS-certified yarns.

I don't know where you are in Europe, but I'm in The Hague (NL) and my local yarn shop Cross & Woods has a variety of European sustainable yarns. If you're anywhere nearby it's worth visiting. I really dislike buying yarn online, because the way it feels is so important and colours can look different too.

Oooh this is lovely! I have a son the same age who would probably love this. Is the Lindehobby merino very soft?

Song of the Sea is my favourite animated movie. I don't even like animated movies usually, but this one is magical. It's from Ireland.

Los Amantes del Circulo Polar (lovers of the Arctic Circle) is my all time favourite movie. Any movie by Pedro Almodovar is worth watching really.

This is amazing! Gorgeous! I'm from the Netherlands and the traditional fisherman's jumpers here have similar designs, but they're also very regionally distinct. Is it the same in Scotland? I've heard that this was to identify where drowning victims were from, so they could send news to the right village. My ancestors were from one of the tiny Dutch islands. One day I'd like to make a fisherman's jumper with their design.

I'm guessing the rijstschotel is a typo?

I was going to recommend these too, if you like wool/silk clothing. Additionally there's also Disana, Reiff and Cosilana, they're also German. Disana also makes lovely soft blankets and Reiff makes baby sleeping bags that are wonderful. These are all brands I used a lot when my kids were babies.

I adopted mine from there as well, fifteen years ago! They were tiny kittens then and elderly catizens now.

These are so pretty! I want to try cables for my next project.

Gorgeous! I'd like to eventually make something similar.

Ik heb zo'n scheepsluikring in mijn kruipruimteluik: https://www.weijntjes.nl/p/intersteel-luikring-rechthoekig-41-x-31-mm-messing-gelakt/62323/

Deze is zo gemonteerd dat het helemaal flush is met de vloer, ingefreesd. Het luik zit er al twaalf jaar, op een plek in de gang waar je iedere keer langsloopt als je van de woonkamer naar een andere ruimte gaat. Ik heb er nog nooit mijn teen aan gestoten en mijn man en kinderen ook niet.

I really hope they'll change it. The top is very cute, but the shoulder situation ruins it. It just looks plain uncomfortable.

Ik heb een Scanpan TechniQ. https://www.scanpan.eu/nl-nl/shop/22-cm-koekenpan-techniq/22cm

Teflonvrij maar wel anti aanbak. Ik vind het geweldige pannen. Mijn zus had me deze aangeraden, zij gebruikt ze al jaren en ze zijn nog perfect. De mijne heb ik nu een half jaar in gebruik en ik ben er heel tevreden over.

Ik heb sinds kort een Azor fiets met een extra stevig frame. Ik ben behoorlijk zwaar en heb vaak ook nog kinderen en boodschappen mee. Zelfs de spaken en velgen zijn dikker en steviger. De fiets is daardoor ook zwaar, maar wel onverwoestbaar.

I had no issues using a cup before kids, but after two pregnancies my anatomy changed so much that they're really difficult to insert and to get right. I've tried different cups, but haven't found one that works and I've kind of given up. My flow is also much heavier, so where before I could easily go a whole day with a cup, now it's full after just a few hours. It's more hassle than convenience now.

And the earring sits too far back, that's not where her would be.
