Hanseflausch [Hamburg, Germany]

I've had fleecy ("flauschig" in German) yarn at home for already quite a while without using it, so I decided it's time to change that. I found a nice tiger pattern for two colors and thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to do some fleecy knitting. As the second color I chose a purple non-fluffy yarn. Unfortunately, the pattern was barely visible after I finished the knitting because of the long fluff, cutting the fluff shorter didn't help that much.

Since the colors also reminded me of water and waves I thought Hamburg, city of water and the Hanseatic League, would be a nice place for my knitting. I actually found the Speicherstadt which is an old warehouse district with both streets and water canals and beautiful old timber-pile founded buildings to be the perfect location for it. I put my knitting onto an old-fashioned street lamp, right next to a bridge over a canal and close to a street crossing. Unfortunately it was already late afternoon when I got there and the sun had already set which made it a bit hard for me to take good pictures.
