Surprise in the mail, my ripple and socks for me in Opal cotton

Jeg fikk en kjempehyggelig overraskelse i posten her forleden dag. En pakke fra Barbro. http://blogg.hobbyboden.com/barbro/index.php Hun syntes det var så trist at garnlageret mitt forsvant i oversvømmelsen vi hadde i kjellern at hun sendte meg fire nøster Rauma finull for å starte nytt garnlager. Tusen, tusen takk. Det var kjempesnilt og jeg skal nok finne bruk for Rauma finull. Har faktisk aldri prøvd det garnet før, så det var utrolig kjekt. I got a super nice surprise in the mail just the other day. A packet from Barbro. http://blogg.hobbyboden.com/barbro/index.php She thought it was so sad my yarn stash was ruined in the flood we had in our basement, so she sent med four skeins of Rauma wool to start a new yarn stash. Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it. So nice and I'm sure I can find a project to use Rauma wool. I have actually never tried the yarn before, so it was a great packet.

Jeg hekler videre på Bølgeteppet mitt. Det kryper langsomt framover. Har måttet hatt en pause, for det er varmt å hekle et stort teppe i ull om sommeren, selv om finværet lar vente på seg. Teppet er nå 110 cm.

I crochet on my Ripple. It takes time but it is moving slowly forward. I've had a break because the warm weather is making it to hot to crochet, even though the sun is nowhere to be seen. It's still hot to crochet on a big woollen ripple. My ripple is now 110 cm long.

Jeg har startet på et par sokker til meg selv i Opal bomull. Hadde problemer med å finne en oppskrift, men landet til slutt på denne. http://blog.erdufylla.net/free-patterns/aurelia-socks/ Fikk veldig lyst til å strikke sokkene til Eunny, de Bayerische sokkene hennes, men tror de blir penest i ensfarget garn. De er på min to do liste i alle fall.

I have started on a pair of socks for myself in Opal cotton. I had a bit of a problem deciding which pattern to use, but landed on this http://blog.erdufylla.net/free-patterns/aurelia-socks/ Eunny's Bayerische socks are really tempting, but I think they are best in skein of one colored yarn. They are on my to do list.
