Alt dette garnet er nå i kjelleren. This yarn is now in my basement stash.
Dette er min kurv i hjørnet, og nå er den ryddig og vi ser gulvet rundt.
This is my basket in the corner, and now you can see the floor around it.
Another weekly question from Secret Pal 12. What would you consider the perfect amount of stash? Hard question. My stash is about 12 kg and I feel that's the perfect amount for me, even though I always wish I had more yarn. I have a tendency to fill the living room with my stash. Erica challenged everybody to tidy their stash, and I chose to tidy the living room stash. Here are some before and after pictures. The skeins in the couch are now moved to my stash in the basement. The living room is tidy again, or ... Well, it was for some days, but it's almost a week since I took the pictures and now it's a bit of a mess again.
Blomstermamma gave me an award! That is so nice! Thank you very much! I have to give it away, and I think I'm going to give it to Babsy. She updates her blog often, and is creativ and produces a lot of nice things. Kattepus has to get the award. She is a great person and knits a lot of nice stuff. Marihøna gets it because she knits and crochet great hats all the time and takes a lot of nice pictures.
I Secret Pal 12 er det nok en gang ukens spørsmål. Som barn, hva gledet du deg mest til i forbindelse med sommerferien? Jeg tror jeg gledet meg mest til å ha hele dagen fri, bare leke, bade og være sammen med venner. Dessuten var det jo alltid stor stas å reise bort og bli kjent med nye mennesker.
Another question of the week from Secret Pal 12. As a kid, what did you look forward to most about summer vacation/break/holiday? I think I looked most forward to have the whole day off school and just play, take a swim and be with friends. It was always great fun to go away and get to know other people as well.
Jeg holder på med garnslanking, så jeg har hentet fram en del nøster uten merkelapp fra garnlageret mitt. Strikker lapper til et prosjekt som heter By:garn. Noen i Oslo skal dekorere statuer, lyktestolper og diverse med strikkete lapper. Et ypperlig prosjekt til å slanke garnlageret mitt.I am on a yarn diet, so I have picked out some skeins from my stash without label on. I'm knitting squares for a project called City:yarn, after a concert project called City:larm. City:yarn is a project which some in Oslo are going to decorate statues, lamp posts and other things in public with knitted things. A great project to diet my stash.
Vel, garnslanking eller ikke, når man tilfeldigvis går forbi Du store alpakka, må man innom. Og har man kommet innom, må man faktisk kjøpe et par nøster som ligger der og roper. Jeg syntes jeg klarte meg veldig bra, men noe måtte jeg kjøpe. Well, diet or no diet, when you accidentally walk by Du store alpakka, you just have to pop inside. And when you're first inside, you just have to buy something, like the skeins of yarn lying there, screaming your name. I think I did very well.
Jeg har også fått hemmelig venn-pakke fra JSV på Hobbyforum. Fire, flotte nøster med Sisu-fantasy. Tusen, tusen takk for en flott pakke JSV.
