Anyone speak Dutch?

I would imagine Mirjam might speak it. IIRC she lived in Holland a while. Also, I am sure I remember someone recently from there. There used to be a Colleen in Holland; I wonder if she lurks here still.

Click on the "Nu in de winkel" link to get the contents of the latest issue (#18). The penguin chart is "Wereldberoemd" on the list.

You need Mirjam Bruck-Cohen - she speaks Dutch.

Mirjam - are you reading RCTN at the moment?

The babelfish translation of the penguin page:

By mattering toedoen of the film happy feet are the awk all of a sudden world-famous. Not astonishing, because it are particularly fraaie animals. This decorative design has been executed in cross tick, the quarter of cross tick, stiksteek and knoopjessteek on white AIDA as a result of which the colours end up splendidly.

What could be clearer?

I think that must have been written by the same people who wrote the manual for the hand-held calculator I bought about 15 years ago

I can't wait to learn how to knoopjessteek myself!

I've sent off another email to them since Brenda told me it was in this issue. Also one to Mirjam for help in translating.

Unless someone knows how to buy this magazine?

THANK YOU!!!!

Hi Linda, Dutch is my language. It seems to me it is just a news item on their website. There is no information on how to order this kit, even no company is mentioned. Just explaining pinguins are populair because of the movie "Happy Feet" and the stitching is done in cross stitch, 3/4 cross stitch, backstitch and french knots. If you like, I could phone them next monday to hear more about the pinguins?

Actually, that's not quite accurate. It says that this pattern is in the magazine number 18, which is currently on store shelves and under "Verkoop Adressen" it gives you the addresses of various stores which carry the magazine, once you put in the city (in the Netherlands) where you live. It also tells you how to sign up to get the magazine through the mail under "Abonneren."

Bet you won't. I don't think knoopjessteek is a favourite of most. :-) Tara

Steek is stitch, so I'm going to take a leap that this is French Knot.
