Hundertwasser

On my newly commenced journey to learn to knit socks, I came upon the knitty goodness known as Hundertwasser. This yarn is totally gorgeous! I can't wait to knit some socks with it for my mom.

Now for the rest of the story... I first saw the Hundertwasserhaus in Vienna in May of 1991 on choir tour. For some reason, it really stuck with me and was truly one of my favorite things I saw in Europe. Then 10 years later, I had the opportunity to see more of Freidensreich Hundertwasser's work. The Hundertwasser public toilet in Kawakawa, New Zealand. How many architectural masterpiece bathrooms have I seen? Um, one. And it was sooooo fun lookin'. And yes. I went potty there.
