Anyway I just wanted to say thank you for making comments on my Blog. I really appriate that:))

Surprise and more

Some days ago i wanted to make a soap again. And I was really afraid of what was going to happen with the colour of the soap cause the perfume and the colours didnt work together as I hoped for(discoloration).
But in the end it turned out as a quite good result and the smell is lovely: Tearose.

Other things that happend yesterday: I met the lady from this blog http://filletantefishfish.blogspot.com/
It was so nice to talk to somebody who is into spinning as I am and i hope we will meet again:)

I met her here: http://www.ull.no/media//Torgdag-04062011-plakat.pdf
I was there to demonstrate the visitors how to use a spinning wheel. It was nice. Lots of interesting people showing their craftingwork and I wonder what will be my next thing..maybe buying a weaving loom..:)

I had a really good weekend...have all a good week..bye, bye for today

Summer

These are some real summer colours. I just love them. The fiber is from our own sheep: Dalasheep and i dyed with Ashford colours using red and yellow. We have not summer weather yet but these colours makes me feel quite warm. I wish all of you a good weekend.

The result

Here it is. The result of my last week spinning.

Sometimes it is good when there is an internett failure.

Cause in the night from friday to saturday we had such a heavy storm, and thunder and lightning. The lightning caused that all our electricity went and when it came back the broadband was down. After a call to the company we figured out that the router was broken and yesterday we got a new one.

But anyway, I had lots of time to spin and I started knitting on a baby blanket again with some other yarn I made earlier.

I will come back later with that one. Have a nice day:)

Hello

Not allways easy to go on writing in my blog at times. I experience a lack of creativity in the last months.
But yesterday I felt really happy to create this yarn. Uplifting colours. I wanted to share them with you.

Is it possible?...

...I made a pair of socks:)

You know, I am not a sock knitter. I must admit, I hate it:S

Or do I?

The problem was I think, that I had problems with the heal and cap knitting and that made me frustrated. I allmost allways had a one sock UFO left:(

But this time I bought thikker yarn and I made a for me different heal, called a boomerang heal and it worked allmost fine. Well I finished them and that give me enough confidence to try one more time. The cap went well. And the next pair will hopefully get better.

Happy new year

Happy new year and good morning:)

I hope you had all a very good x-mas and a good start into the new year. Here it was quite good. Kids were pleased with presents and we all had a good time together.

I got myself some Knit Pro needles for x-mas and they are so wonderful to knit on that I finished my shawl Birch http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/falling-birch-leaves which I wrote earlier about.

Yesterday I washed it and tried to block it, but it was not working as good as I wanted. So I had to improvise a bit cause I have no blocking wires or something like it. ( Have to spend some money on it for the next project:p :)

Anyway, here I show you the result from my improvising and I became quite pleased with it.

Yes, I am still an amateur when it comes to Lace but I am working on it to become better. Still I think for my first blocking it`s not too bad.

The shawl is about 2 metres long and about 45cm wide on the smallest part.
