Vevstove i Austrheim

For en stund siden ble eg kjent med en dame som heter Anne Grete. Desverre har hun ikke en egen nettside ( jeg håper hun få den i fremtiden), men jeg fekk lov å vise noen inntrykk fra hennes vevstove på bloggen min. Jeg var på besøk hos henne på fredag og det var kjempekoselig- takk for det.                                   Anne Grete farger også selv en del av ullet hun vever med. Det gjør hun med planter og jeg ble veldig imponert av, hvor flotte fargene hennes blir.                                                                                                  

Ellers så ble jeg meget imponert av alle vevene hennes. Takk for omvisningen. Jeg hadde en kjempetrivelig kveld.                                                                                                                                                         

Friday I visited Anne Grete. She has a weaving work shop. She allowed me to show some pictures in my Blog, cause you cant find her work on the internett. I hope she will change that in the future, cause I like her weavings a lot. She dyes parts of the wool she uses herself with plants and I was very impressed by the colours. Thanks for a nice evening.                                                                                                              

Fenris på rull

Fenris er en http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_Scotia_Duck_Tolling_Retriever og tilhører noen jeg kjenner på Lindås-Nordhordaland. Når han mistet underullet ga matmoren hans ullet til meg og lurte på om det er mulig å spinne med. Jeg prøvde og måtte tvinnen med en sauetråd (hvit farge) men resultatet ble som jeg synes beldig bra. Jeg håper matmoren er fornøyd:) Lengde til tråden er ukjent for meg men det ble 45g.

Fenris is a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_Scotia_Duck_Tolling_Retriever and he lives in Lindås/ Nordhordaland. I have got some underwool from his owner some month ago and I managed to spin 45 g. I had to use a sheep wool to ply with (white colour). I hope his owner is happy with the result..I am:)

I changed profile

Out of practical issues I had to change my Blog profile. I cant tell you more about it atm but I will try to explain later. I will still write parts of the Blog in english , but the main language  will become norwegian. I hope for your understanding.

Ut av praktiske årsaker vil Bloggen fra neste innlegg fortsette hovedsakelig på norsk. Jeg vil prøve å forklare mer om det senere. Jeg håper på forståelse.

My new old loom

This is what I bought today. It looks like a "Monika vev (loom), but I am not an expert. Anyway, I found an advertisment in the internett yesterday and it was not too far away from me. Drove there today and bought it. The loom looks quite nice but it is very dirty and looks like not beeing loved for a while.
 Will try to fix/ shine it up during the next days. And than, hopefully I will try it. I have no ideas how but there are books and the internett. If someone has some book suggestions or other ideas please let me know.

Holiday ends

Now Iam back from Thailand after 3 amazing weeks. We had a wonderfull time, but the holdiday went over too fast. Like allways. Coming home feels a bit strange. But on the other hand, it is nice to be back.
Thailand was really worth to visit, the people are so friendly. We had nice stays during the whole holidays. The hotels we stayed at were great and the food was soooo good.
I would love to travel back again....maybe next year..who knows. Anyway it was just amazing. If you are in Bangkok once i can recommand to visit the Jim Thompson house http://www.jimthompsonhouse.com/. It is a great place to visit if you are interested in Thai silk and architecture or just beautifull things.
