bye bye

yes my dear friends, i am saying bye bye to you all...
but only for two weeks:)
we are going to Norway for two weeks, and it will be great to see my family again. i am pretty sure i will not have time to blog anything while i'm away, but i do hope i will have some time to knit. i will not bring the Marius along, to heavy...and ryanair has baggage restrictions 15 kilo each only. so it's bound to be small projects only.

so this is my for today and the next few weeks, right now i am going to sit down and enjoy my morning coffee.... before i realy get on with packing the rest of our clothes!

bye bye and have a great couple of weeks! thank's for visiting me:)

border

good afternoon to you all!

I do hope you are having a lovely day, here in Scotland it's rather windy, but atleast my washing dries quick!

the last few days i have been busy knitting my marius, and someone asked for a photo to show how much i have done..so as you can see, have started on the border.

i am very excited about the fact that i will try steeking for the first time ever. It has been my grandmother that has done this for me earlier..but i don't live close to her anymore..so i need to be able to do this on my own.

it looks really easy to be honest, and i am sure it will be absolutely fine:)

finished

Good morning everyone, how are you all doing? i have had a good morning with a cup of coffee and trying to get a decent photo of my finished crossover cardigan...BUT my arms just aren't long enough so you'll just see a bit of it.

You can get the idea of what it looks like anyway!

i am really happy with it, and it really keeps me warm:)

i have had a really grea weekend...first we did lots of gardening, and it felt soooo good to have a lawn again..and not tall grass!!

my arms were hmmm, well not allright after that, but i did manage to get quite a bit of knitting done on saturday eve:)

sunday it was Tramway to have a chat with the ladies. we were quite a few, and it was nice to meet several new people there..! unfortunetely i won't be abe to meet up with them until august..when we come home from our holiday in Norway.

another...12 days to go. i have already started packing some things. and today is the big tidy-up day..so what on earth am i doing blogging?

before i go, i have to mention my new projecs. first it's the Marius and i'm almost up to the pattern border. i's almost as if i can't wait for the cold winter just so i can use it.

i do want some summer first anyway!

have a great knitting and crocheting week everyone!!

twirly scarf 2

hello everyone and good morning! i hope you have had a good weekend so far, me i have been good indeed. as you can see i have finished the secong twirly scarf. this one is for mother-in-law, for her birthday in November and i think this is something she might well like.

This everyone, is the lovely present that Nan and David at my lys gave me for my birthday .

i still haven't decided what to use it for..but i am sure something good will come out of it! maybe a wisp? i did want to make one for myself...i am not sure, anyone with a good idea?

About my crossover cardigan, it's not much to do now...i am almost finished with the first sleeve, and have done half of the lace insert of the secon sleeve. this lace pattern is rather boring...so when i get fed up i knit my Marius genser. I have actually finishied nearly half of the body part..and i am still not fed up with knit, purl, knit, purl, knit, purl...so far so good!

actually, it feels great to knit something and not be fed up with it. next week i will finish my crossover and then you can all see the picture:)

but for now, have a lovely week

mhairi

Good morning everyone,
As ou all know by now, it has just been my birthday and after our shopping on saturday my husband was soooo nice and made a stop at Stitching Time for me to buy some more wool ...and there in the shop were two pressies awaiting me....this lovely green/turquise Araucania Ranco was from mhairi ...!!! Thank you sooooo much! and Nan and David had a pressie for me too..now unfortunately my mobilephone ran out of credit..so I can't show you the picture of the two balls of Kidsilk Haze and the Addi laceneedles they gave me. i am shocked, i didn't expect anything really(well, maybe as much as Happy birthday Linn) ..but this was just amazing!

and i guess this is not the end..my husband ordered some New Lanark wool as a pressie too so that i can knit my Marius Genser...and i hope it will arrive in the week. can't wait!

about things I am actually doing, i have finished the back of the crossover, and have started on the sleeves..just started. will do some more tonight:)

i really must get some credit on my phone soon, because i am sure i will have even more to show you..and when i do get credit, be sure i wil show you that pressie too:)

today is going to be a day of housework(although i would have liked to knit all day long)so i guess i better get started!

the sun is shining, so sunny hugs from me

school scarf

good morning everyone, and thank you so much for all you birthdaywishes. so far it has been a good day:)
my lovely daughter has modeled for the scarf i finished last night, and now she is making birthdaycards for me:) such a cutie!

oh, and just now my granny phoned me to with me happy birthday!

well well, anyway, last night i managed to finally finish this scarf, it's for my friend and it's kind of a christmaspresent...well, she has decided she doesn't want to celebrate christmas so she will get it as a 3 wedding anniversary present a few days before christmas(her hubby will get a scarf too).
i call it a school scarf,as someone from hobbyboden were talking about the scarves they made at school and explained how they did it.

Some ladies at the glasgow knit and stitch might recognise it as "the tube"...yes it did look like a really weird thing to knit....but i love the finished result...and it took me a whole hour to unravel the stitches(i dropped every second stitch).
i want to make one of these for myself as well...i have fallen in love with it!!!

but first...finish the cardigan...! will see you tomorrow or saturday Nan!!

30

ok gals,
so i have changed the numb er of my years a bit too soon...i am not thirty yet...but tomorrow i am....! so i might as well get it over with.

i am entering a new era of my life..the thirties,I can't wait!!! hurrah for me;)

summerhugs from me

summerhat

so i found this cotton that i hadn't used yet...i got it from the swap at the tramway earlier this year(glasgow knit'n stitch i think it might have been Fiona that wanted rid of this...this hat was done in two evenings and i will try to sew a couple of flowers on aventually:) i really like it and i am sure we'll use it lots this summer....!

i need more wool to finish the back of my crossover cardigan, and i have to wait until tomorrow as my shop is closed on a sunday.there are promises of going to the park today anyway..so i a m sure i will be busy.

i can always continue on my "ever so boring scarf" tonight anyway:) oh i also have my crocheted tablecloth too!

well, off to have the morning coffee...can't be without it..besided hubby is up soon and he'd want the laptop anyway..see you next week or so!

summerlove from me

fishblanket

HELLO EVERYONE,
how are you all doing?
me, i am so happy because i have finally attached the mermaid to the blanket, and now it's finished...more or less. i have plans to add some golden fish and jellyfish and a couple of startfish..but not in the nearest future..
i am a bit fed up with this blanket now..although it does look nice in the wee girl's bedroom:)
and i think she likes it alot too!! and i guess that is the main point, isn't it?


i can fully concentrate on knitting my cardigan.
i have knitted almost half of the back...now i just need to get more wool.

i have decided,..i definetly prefer knitting in the round!! i do believe my next project will be a mariusgenser knitted with new lanark wool!! i just dicovered it..i do believe it was nursery teacher Mrs. Robinson that told me about it...


well that's all from me , i am housebound today..waiting for the fidgerepair man...and he seems to never get here..blah!



have a great week dear friends!

hvil i fred Kirsten/rest in peace Kirsten

thursday morning

hello everyone, and good morrow to you. i hope you are all doing well and have time to sit and relax for a few moments.

i don't have anything to show you at all today but because i am so excited about this crossover cardigan i am knitting, just knowing that i might finish the right front tonight made me want to update you about that fact.

i still have the back and the sleeves to finish so i won't be ready until july sometime:) but hopefully i will be able to wear it when we are on holiday in Norway in late july.Iknow it's kinda sad being so happy with a piece of knitting, but this will in fact be my fist piece of clothing that i have knitted using a pattern..except the shawl i made earlier. i am not thinking about socks either...but a cardigan or top or something to wear...that's why i just can't wait to put it on:)

well. i guess i need to get on with the knitting if that is going to happen..but no knitting just now..i need to have my cup of coffee first and then continuing doing housework and maybe read a bit for catriona dn perhaps sing a few songs with her before nursery this afternoon.

might just finish up that fishblanket too soon...hmmm must do it -maybe tomorrow..have a nice day everyone!

daffodil

i took a test to see what flower i am and the result is this:

You Are a Daffodil
You have a sunny disposition and are normally one of the first to show up for the party. You don't need too much attention from the host once you get there as you are more than capable of making yourself seen and heard.

dancing

ok, so i have this photo of a photo....and you can even see the plastic cover on the picture...but i did say to some friends that i would blog the photo...so here it is.....our dancephoto:) my streetdance outfit and Catriona's teddybeardance outfit. i have a treally cute photo of catriona but i will save that for the grandparents;)

now..last night i finished the left front of my crossover cardigan..and i have kinds started the right front...will be fun to see it finished! summer is here, and it's time for today's lunch. have a great week everyone! and hoping to get a picture taken of the fishblanket soon...wait and you will see........

christmas

hello everyone,
are you preparing for christmas yet?i know it#s far away still, but last year i was nearly knitting my hands off in December trying to finish the pressies. so this year i have decided on being a good girl and start early. i have finished a twirly scarf for my sister-in -law and i loved making it..but i must admit, it used a lot more wool then i ever imagined. I will definetly make more of them though.

i have been really busy this week, and not done any knitting at all..the danceschool is having a dance-show every 18 months, and now it's time for this years show. so every night this week i have been away dancing, and tonight (Same as thuesday) my 4 years old daughter is coming with me to dance. she is in 4 dances..it will be a late night though...she might be in bed at 11.00(23.00) and normally she's in bed at 7-7.30(19.00-19.30)..hope she'll cope...

wish us luck!!

i will be so happy when tonight is over, because then i can get on with my knitting again! hurray! can#t wait to finish the left front of my cross over cardigan:)

have a lovely day!!

fish

hello everyone, i hope you all have had a nice weekend. we have been busy with our new aquarium and trying to keep the last goldfish alive during this cycling of the filter. and talking about fish...

i have been knitting fish for Catriona's fishblanket, and now i have only 15 left until i am finished. i am hoping that in another week or so i will start to sew on a few things on it...i do have a plan and i am sure it will end up pretty cool.

i will not be back here until i have finished it, i am not knitting anything else right now..everything is waiting until i am done.
when i am done, my first project will be to knit a pair of socks and then a summertop for myself. i will also finish the scarf for merethe.

by the time i have come that far i am sure we'll be in the middle of july and we'll hopefully go to Norway for a holiday:) can't wait.

oh i forgot to mention that next Saturday we'll be in Edingburgh to take part in the celebration on 17th of May, the norwegian constitutional day! now THAT i can't wait for. our car is at the garage to get fixed so i hope we'll have it back by then!

now have a good week eveyone and i hope you have some good weather!

secret friend for april

i am so ashamed:( i have forgotten to show you the picture of the pressie i got from my secret friend at hobbyboden. haven't decided how i will use the wool, the tea is looong gone, and my oh my was it fab!!! will knit some winter hats after the summer..now that i have such lovely patterns...and as i am trying to lose weight..i have only had 2 squares of the chocolate...

i was supposed to be the the "spring fling" with glasgow knit and stitch this weekend, but i couldn't make it(hubby working, and needing to get stuff for the aquarium the wee one was given to her 4th b-day by her granny)...so i missed it:( and i had a flower ready and all..well nevermind...maybe next year??

hoping to get on with my knitting soon, have not really been doing anything for a week..but tonight i hope to get a couple of fish ready:) i want to finish this fish blankie...it's for the wall really. so hopefully i'll have something to show you in a few weeks:)

love from me

la fantasien raade 6

this is the fantasy-along at hobbyboden. we had to make something inspired by a fairytale called "kong trosteskjegg" i think it was. (king "some-kind-of-bird-and -i don't -know-the-english-word" beard).

and it's my daughters 4th bday in the end of this week, so i got her name on it too,. there is also a butterfly on the bottom, but i couldn't get in on the picture. she seems happy, eh?

UFO

DEAR people,
here is my UFO, i said i would post about it. i started this at some time ago when i went to university( agder universitet)and i think i graduated in 2001 ..and i think i started this in year 2..so that makes this cross stitch 8 years old. it takes absolutely ages to do, but maybe i will finish it in 2009...i try to do a bit inbetween all my knitting.
it will end up as AMOR, but sorry i have no picture of it as finished anymore, but one day i will show you the finished picture. will update you on how this turns out in maybe a month or so..depending on how much a get done of course.

so this is all from me today..i have absolutely tons of stuff to do! so have a lovely day everyone!

sunny hugs from me

april is pink

april is pink, and this is my pink for this month. it isn't much but works wonderfully well. a little hairband that i made before the nursery...and she actually likes it. now that is success!!
did i ever mention how my eyes has been opened to crochet?? well, i do quite enjoy it really:)

dishcloth

i made a dishcloth just the other day! i love it and will probably knit more of these. actually this one is for my 4 years old daughter so she can help me clean the table after dinner;) she was very happy to help

march socks

heey everyone,
i have finally managed to put a picture of my socks here on my blog...first my phone needed a top up, and then i couldn't find the first sock i knitted...oh joy! well i found it this morning.where was it again...?oh yes, down the side of the sofa...happens alot.. :(

well, now i shall try to finish my clue 2 of sots -ii, but i will be back with a few more FO's later this week! and not to mention the ufo i have had for ages..i have probably mentioned it before, but you will all get to actually see it:)

no more knitting or blogging for today though, i just really wanted to get this on the blog for the sock a month 2008...i am rather late this month...sorry!

but i am ready to start the april socks on monday..yay, this will be exciting..my first
cable socks:) wish me luck!

good morrow

hello everyone,
i feel that is has been ages since i have been in with anything new...and i have some finished stuff to show youall, but i need to top up my mobile phone to send some pics. i am a mobile phone blogger you know. in a few days i am sure i will be back with pics of my circle socks, and the pentagon baby blanket that will be going to iceland:).

i am currently working on the "fantasialong" that has to be finished by 15 th of april..and i am about halfway, so i think i will manage to do it in time.

oh, by the way..i have this great idea for a scarf, and will start working on it after the april socks and the fantasialong are finished.

this sunday i amhoping i can join Glasgow knit n stitch again, it has been a long time since i was there...need to have a chat with the hubby. do you think i can talk him into taking me there and watching our daughter if i clean the whole house this week?

worth a try,isn't it?

see you all later, with my cuppa' T

flower

As it's eastertime..the nursery has a easter bonnet parade, and i crocheted two flowers to go on her hat(did i mention the nursery girl has been ill with a fever since yesterday and wont actually make the parade).

i think the flowers are so cute, and i know now what flower to make for the knit'n stitch group:) it was really to make and i am so happy withthem. the pattern is SkaMama's.
and one flower is yellow, because March is a yellow month!

did i mention that i am getting a bit bored with my fishblanket? atleast i am getting the mermaid together.. i know it will be really nice when i am, finished...but until then i just have to keep going!
wish me luck!

today will be a non-computer day and non-knitting day...it'll have to wait until the evening..i have tons of housework to do..eeek, have ignored it for a few days! that's all for today folks!

big hugs

march hat

hallo ladies,
This lovely hat is called Robin's egg blue hat
and it took me ony one evening to knit it. i absolutely adore it..i used Lang soft Shetland for this. i just need to get a button that fits nicely:) so a big thank's you to two lovely ladies at hobbyboden that finds these fab patterns for us:)

i have no other projects near the finishing..so I guess i will be busy knitting the next week. i am still so in love with knittin, it's almost crazy! there are still so much i want to make..and i guess the more i actually sit down the more i'll be able to crate;)

have a lovely week everyone!

not nice

i just had a comment on my new baby blanket picture, and it said to check the comments here and here(was linked) and it took me to something weird and viruslike stuff..that's not nice..i am here to write about my hobbies that's all, why does this happen? is it a machine or some viscious people out there? you tell me!!

chris blankie done

i forgot to put the pic of christopher's finished blanket in my blog..so here it is!

mw finished

i have finished my mystic water shawl. i was knitting and knitting, and the finishing took ages..well over an hour to do it, but i am very happy with it. it's has not been blocked yet, nor has the ends been sewn in, but i like it. it will probably be a bit bigger than on this bad picture..and it's my 4 years old daughter "modeling"the shawl..and she's big for her age!

Next project is to knit the march socks, march hat and continue a few other projects(sots-ii, sss). i have also started up knitting fish for the fish blanket, and i am going to have it done by june, so i better get on with that too. i am so happy about finihing up mw..i think i started it in october or november...!

almost finished

it's monday, and today i have only two rows left of my mystic water shawl. i am going to finish tonight..then i am off to do the finishing:) can't wait to wear it, and this is perfect because today it's snowing..and it's lying on the group..it's white outside and it has been since this morning. and it's actually snowing as i write. imagine if i could wear it tomorow goingto the nursery..! that would be soooo great!!!

i have been at my LYS today, got some more sock yarn..i have the march socks (circle socks )to knit whne mw is done..and also a hat to start! it really feels so great to have so little left to do on a shawl i have been working on for several months now!

will of course be back with pics when i have it done!!

snowy hugs from LinnMarit

finally

these are my february socks, i have finaly gotten around to putting them on my blog..well.i was lucky and had one extra day in february, if i hadn't had that i wouldn't have finished in time!

my next project is to finish my Mystic Water shawl..i have only 4 rows left..and the the finishing instructions..hopefully ill be able to locate them somewhere;)

i have many plans coming up among others the blanket i mentioned earlier, and also a dress, will tell you more about it when it's not this early in the morning, and when i haven't had a child singing and talking in my ears when i want to sleep... i am so tired!!!

Christopher blanket

right....this is my ever first granny square blanket, for baby Christopher who will be born shortly..maybe a week or two or so. i am only halfway with it though..but it keeps me busy in the evenings. i do hope his mum will like it, and that the coulours are all right. i was going to make a cardigan for him, but they live in Las Vegas...and it might not be ideal isn't a blanket better?? i hope so..!!
talking about Granny squares..the lady at my LYS ,(nagged2k) gave me a great idea...make a blanket that's just one HUGE granny square...so i have started..maybe it will be finished in 2010...! i do like the idea of having such a blanket though:))

SOTS-ii, clue 1

So i finally finished clue 1 of the Secret of the Stole-ii, it has beenlying there just waiting for me to finish..i don't find it difficult at all so far. Just keep the count right and i'm flying. Unfortunately it will have to wait a bit before i can continue...i really need to finish my Mystic Water first,...not much left on that one. i am thinking a would want to wear it before the spring comes along;)

Kamma socks

When i bought a pair of shoes for my daughter i decided they needed to be a bit big so she could wear a pair of knitted socks as well as her normal cotton socks-it's still winter here in Scotland...! she has been using my socks for about a week now, but finally i managed to finish a pair for her. i am very happy with them..just knitted from toe and up..with the wrap and turn..wow it's so easy. i will make lots more socks. i have started my february socks Thuja
i think they finish up quickly:)

garnmysteriet 3/

long time no see....i have been busy knitting, and we had visitors from Norway:) my brother and his girlfriend was here for a few days. there was no time for knitting. but i have finished the Garnmysteriet 3 (yarn mystery 3) at hobbyboden

I love the ending of the mystery, this hat! it's supposed to be a kind of cap, but i have chosen to leave it like this..for now atleast:) i will probably make another one later on.when i have somemore time. it was really easy to knit these cables, and i am glad i have had some practise, because i will soon start knitting Anna Dalvi's Burridge Lake Aran Afghan

january hat/januarlua

the Gemma beret is finished, this was my january hat, in the knitalong in hobbyboden. although i finished it today feb.1st. i am very happy with the hat and the colour..now i'm off for a cup of tea and to knit a row or two on my MW shawl. have a great weekend!!

====================================

her er min Gemma beret, det er janaurluen, in alongen paa hobbyboden, selv om jeg har blitt ferdig i dag..1 februar. jeg er veldig fornoeyd med lua og fargen ikke minst. naa skal jeg lage en kopp te, og strikke et par rader paa MW sjalet mitt.god helg alle sammen!!

upsetting

ooooh!!! it's so upsetting, i am mainly knitting rather big things such as shawls..and i feel that three big shawls are enough at one time...but i am so eager to start another one..the "sin-fru" shawl/stole..but i feel that i need to finish mystic water first.

i suppose i oughta finish my january hat too, before it's ..ehhh february and time for another hat. And i guess in a few days it's time for a new pair of socks too...so in the meantime..i will do my best to do a little of MW every day! i am trying to do most of my housework before i need to take my daughter to the nursery, and that way i have some lovely knittingtime all to myself! we are only speaking about just over 1 hour but still....i will have some photos soon enough, i hope!!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++
aa aa aaaa!!! det er saa dumt, jeg holder paa aa strikke nesten bare store ting saann som sjal...og jeg synes at tre store sjal er nok aa strikke paa en gnag...men jeg har saa lyst til aa begynne paa et til, "sin fru" sjal... men jeg foeler at jeg boer bli ferdig med MW sjalet foerst.

jeg burde vel bli ferdig med januar lua ogsaa foer det er tid for ehhh..februarlua!!Og det er vel bare et par dager foer det er tid tilaa begynne paa februarsokene ogsaa! jeg skal gjoere mitt beste for aa strikke litt paa mw hver dag! jeg forsoeke aa gjoere unna mesteparten av husarbeidet foer jeg maa gaa til barnehagen, saan at jeg kan faa lit strikketid , helt alene i huset. det er bare snakk om en time, men alikevel...jeg har nok noen bilder snart..haaper jeg..!

only one week and it will be christmas, i am knitting like crazy, and hoping to finish Fiona's scarf tonight. the colour on the picture doesn't show the real colour, and certainly not the glitter...but the picture is taken by me mobile phone, as always!it's alot more purple, and looking really cool. she will get mittens in same colour with glitter for her 19th birthday in january.

My girl opened the xmas pressies this morning, i though as we'll be leaving for Norway next Friday, and with baggage restriction on ryanair limited to 15 k each..! so she opened them today so she could get to play a bit with them before we leave..and she got baby Annabell doll, and baby Annabell is such a good girl that she has agreed to model fiona's scarf on the photo!

also, hoping to update a bit more before next friday, but we'll see how much time i get. i keep knitting on mystic water shawl..looking fab!!

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Bare en uke til jul naa dere!jeg strikker som en gal, og haaper aa bli ferdig med Fiona sitt skjerf i kveld. fargen paa bildet viser ikke den riktige fargen, og iallefall ike glitteret..men bildet er tatt med mobilen som vanlig! fargen paa skjerfet er mye mere lilla, og det er kjempestilig. hun kommer til aa faa vanter i samme fargen med glitter paa, til 19 aars dagen i januar.

dattera mi aapna julegaver i morges, siden vi drar tilnorge paa fredag, og med kun 15 kilo bagasje per person paa ryanair...! saa hun fikk aapne dem i dag, saann at hun kan faa lekt litt med dem foer vi drar...hun fikk Annabell dokke, og baby Annabel er saa snill at hun ville vaere modell paa bildet av fionas skjerf!!

jeg haaper aa faa oppdatert litt mere foer neste fredag, men vi faar se hvor mye tid jeg faar. jeg fortsetter aa strikke paa mystic water sjalet! det blir virkelig fint!!

*******************************************************************
vi er nærmere og nærmere jul, i morra er 1 desember, det er helt utrolig. jeg har vært veldig flink i det siste, og ikke brukt altfor mye tid foran datamaskinen og strikket i stedet.
wisp skjerfet mitt er havlferdig og ser veldig fint ut, jeg vil også ha et(det er til tante), beklager har ingen bilder denne ganga!
jeg er nesten ferdig med lua som er til designer alongen på hobbyboden...og jeg fikk en ny ide til den alongen, kommer mere om den seinere når jeg får tid til å starte på den, og ja..det er en lue til!! jeg har også klart å bli ferdig med del 2 av MW, og jeg har blitt med på tre ny kal'er som begynner i januar. kommer jeg til å ha nok tid??

og hva med de sokkene...jeg har veldig lyst til å strikke et par, må bare bli ferdig med en julegave til..for svigersøster..et skjerf til!!

skjerf

hei alle sammen
egentlig har jeg ikke så mye nytt, jeg har komet inn på Ravelry og det føles som om jeg bruker mere tid på å finne nye ting å strikke, enn jeg bruker på å faktisk strikke. Jeg har laget meg et mål, og det er at den første julegaven skal bli ferdig i løpet av helga, og jeg skal bli ferdig med første del av mystic water sjalet. regner med at det ikke blir noe stort problem.
hadde et lite problem i går med mw, og det var jo ikke rart...da jeg strikka på dagtid snakka Fiona så mye til meg at jeg glemte å markere at jeg hadde strikka en rad..ikke rart det ble feil da jeg strikka samme rada en gang til...er fiksa nå iallefall!!

Hi everyone,
i don't really have alot of news, i have joined Ravelry and it feels like i spent more time finding new things to knit than i actually spend knitting. I have a goal, and that is to finish the first Christmas present before the weekend is over, also to finish clue 1 of Mystic water KAL. I don't think it will be a problem.
I did have a little problem last night with MW, and no wonder...when i was knitting during the day, Fiona had so much news for me so i forgot to mark the last row as knitte..no wonder something was wrongwhen i tried to knit that row a second time ...it has been fixed!!

her er et bilde av Kamma like foer hun skal paa danseskolen sin. sun har nettopp faatt sine foerste steppesko og er kjempestolt over dem!

og siden mamma skulle sjekke bloggen min, og vi ikke ses saa ofte: her er hun!

klemmer fra oss

jeg tenker og tenker paa hva jeg skal begynne aa strikke paa, selv om jeg har mange ting jeg holder paa med saa blir jeg saa inspirert av alle de som er saa flinke paa hobbyboden. saa jeg vil proeve noe litt utfordrende..men hva? vet at jeg skal begynne paa mystic waterKAL...men vil proeve noe annet foerst..eller samtidig. det er utrolig lenge siden jeg har strikka noe med moenster paa, utenom jordbaerlua da.

kanskje den kofta som jeg fikk moenster til av Niko paa hobbyboden..? vi faar se, maa kjoepe noe nytt garn paa torsdag, saa kanskje jeg har funnet paa noe helt sikkert til da...!

lue

og istedet for aa hekle mere i kveld..saa starta jeg paa ny lue til Kamma...jordbaerlue tenker jeg det blir...haaper aa bli ferdig i loepet av uka..skal sende bilde senere naar jeg er kommet litt lengre.

je har saa lyst til aa gjoere saa mye forskjellig..men maa naa vere flink til aa bli feridg med det jeg allerede har begynt paa...huff de skjerfa som maa vere ferdige til 4 nov..og det mystic waterskal...hmm, hvordan skal jeg faa tid..faar bare fortsette naa:)

dishcloth

der var den foerste dishclothen ferdig! tenker at jeg begynner paa nummer to i morra. nummer to blir likedan...og om jeg orker skal jeg hekle en til meg selv etterpaa! i mellomtida blir det et par skjerf og to noekkelringer som skal lages ogsaa.

jeg har visst saa mye aa gjoere, og ikke nok timer i doegnet for tida.

endelig

i dag gjorde jeg ferdig den strikkejakka som jeg begynte paa i januar...ble saa lei av det garnet men naa er den ferdig , og skal brukes naar det blir litt kaldere. det er nesten sommervarmt her i skottlland naa.det var t skjorte vaer i dag!!!

jeg har ordna veldig i alt garnet mitt, og fant ut av jeg har ganske mye. skal lage en ullbukse til Kamma naar jeg er feridg med disse dishclothene. er nesten halvveis paa den foerste. bruker patons 100% mercerised cotton i beige og vinroed! blir ganske fint!

maa vel tilbake til hekletoeyet naa. har ikke hekla noe i dag..bare gjorde ferdig jakka til morgenen i dag!

nye teknikker

i kveld har jeg funnet ut hva "afghan crochet" er for noe, og det var meget interessant. jeg skal bruke dette til noe en gang, for det var annerledes enn vanlig hekling:) holder ogsaa paa aa laere meg hvordal jeg hekler"mesh". alt dette har jeg funnet ut paa internett.

hva skulle men gjort uten ? jeg hadde iallefall ikke laert meg hekling. det er saa spennende aa laere noe nytt!

jeg maa lage en dishcloth....(vaskeklut???) til to av jentene i strikknettgruppa mi. maa finne noe egnet garn til dette. ellers bli ogsaa skjerf det store i aar. de blir vel foerste ganga jeg strikker julegaver, men det skal jo bli moro.

som om jeg ikke har mere enn nok aa gjoere da:) jeg skal faa toemt fotoapparatet for bilder, og vil ta noen bilder av dette sengeteppet mitt:) jeg tror det skal bli bra.

jeg faar velstrikke videre!!!

saann etterhvert

heisann,
jeg skal faa inn litt bilder og diverse annet her etterhvert, men siden vi er midt i flyttesjauen saa blir det ikke foer om iallefall et par uker. i mellomtiden driver jeg paa med sengeteppet, som begynner aa faa litt stoerrelse naa:)

jeg har ogsaa planer om aa forsoeke aa foelge et moenster..det skal bli mitt neste prosjekt;) oensk meg lykke til!!!maa bare bestemme meg for hvilket moenster, og tror det blir best om det er paa norsk ja.

og for ikke aa glemme...paa soendag skal jeg muligens paa mit foerse knit'n'stich moete..kan bli spennendes ja!

LinnMarit

jeg er i gang

heisann ja, der er jeg i gang med min foerste blogg. har drevet og undersoekt litt om hvordan man hekler, men synes det er vanskelig. i gaar kveld tror jeg aat jeg virkelig knakk koden. saa jeg holder paa med min foerste grytelapp...i hvit egyptisk bomull!!

jeg skulle egentlig strikke daapskjole til datteren min for tre aar siden, men saa kjoepte svigermor en kjole til henne..og saa har garnet bare blitt liggende siden.
jeg maa si at jeg har funnet ut at jeg liker hekling veldig godt, saa det kommer til aa bli like populert som strikking her i huset.

hmm, var i grunn paa vei ut for aa kjoepe litt garn..vil saa gjerne strikke genser til Kamma! vi faar se om jeg faar noen ideer paa vei ned til byen. kanskje jeg faar inn noen bilder her ogsaa etterhvert:(
