There have been few updates here recently. I can feel Christmas closing up with everything that comes along. I'll try to update my blog, but a lot of things are happening IRL as well. I have started on another Harry Potter scarf. It's a Christmas present for one of the adults in my children's kinder garden. I hope he'll like it. It's a very easy scarf to knit and because of the stripes it isn't boring to knit one purl one either. I'm knitting it in Viking Sport, 100% wool. Jeg glemte å poste bildene mine fra K1 i Glasgow. Hun som eide butikken var der da jeg handlet og hun var veldig koselig og hjelpsom. Masse skryt til servicen og butikken.

I forgot to post my pictures from K1 in Glasgow. The owner was there when I shopped and she was the nicest person. Great service at that store. 
I have been to Glasgow. It's a town with many tempting shops and a couple of yarnshops. I didn't shop as much as I thought I would, but I bought some skeins. Don't know what to knit of the yarn I bought, but the blue yarn is going to be a sweater for my son. The black yarn is Tapestry from Rowan. It's so soft and deliciuos. 
Lovely colors on this yarn as well. Freedom Spirit, but I never heard of it. I don't know what to use it for, but it's so soft and lovely to touch. It's quite thick as well, so I guess it will be easy to knit something of it. 
It was a great selection of knitting books, and I already regret I didn't buy more than one. I have some Noro yarn but no pattern. I know I want to knit a sweater or a jacket for me, and in this book there were several I wanted.
Didn't have time to knit while I was in Glasgow, but had a lot of time on the plane back and forth. I knitted a bit on my sweater in Inca for me.
I have now knitted the first Brann-sock for my husband. I really feel it's not that motivating to start knitting the second sock. I better knit it at once, because I can feel this could easily be a UFO. But when I think a bit about it, why is it so important this is not going to be a UFO? No, I'll finish the socks for my husband. But I think I'm going to knit myself a pair in the right colors.
I have knitted more Bainbridge scarves. I have used Jaeger Matchmaker and Wool Rich four ply, both bought in London. The yarn is quite thin about the gauge for Opal, it's soft and it doesn't itch. I'll probably buy more of both types when I go to Glasgow. These scarves are also Christmas presents.
The Christmas calendar is still growing. Now I have startet on the tree and on Tigger. I still have faith in finishing before 1st of December.
Yeah, yeah, I can't say that the gold medal in the Norwegian soccer league is where it's supposed to be, but it's in Bergen this year. My husband is a Brann supporter so he's happy for the moment. Me? Not that much! I'm knitting my husband socks in his soccer team's colors, red and white. Should they have been knitted in gold yarn? No, better not overdo it. I'm really nice knitting them, since I'm a RBK supporter and their colors are black and white. But I better be nice to my husband since I'm leaving kids and the household to his command for five days. And besides, who knows how many skeins of yarn that want to bome home with me from Glasgow?
I have done a deal with Babsy. She needed some yarn and I needed two needlepincases. Look how great they are! I't so fantastic to finally have some sort of system. Thanks a lot, Babsy. A great deal. 



My husband and I hade five lovely days in London without the kids. So great to be a couple, enjoying life and forget about time and kids for a while. It's always busy in London, things are happening, always a lot of shops with a lot to shop, always a lot of people and always a lot of things I want to see and I promise myself it won't be long before I go to London again. I went to John Lewis. A lot of nice yarn there, and I am very happy they have a John Lewis in Glasgow. I'm going to Glasgow in a couple of weeks without husband and kids. I might buy more yarn then. This time I picked out four skeins of soft wool yarn. Have plans to knit scarves to the people working in the kindergarden with my kids to Christmas. I have already started on a Bainbridge scarf of one of the skeins.
Knitting magazines are fun to read. I always get a lot of inspiration, lovely pattern, but they are expensive in Norway. I bought four in London, but couldn't find Vogue knitting. 






I'm so lucky. My SP 11 have sent me the most incredible gift. Of course I've already eaten the snacks she sent me. If you look closely at the picture, you can see that the bag of corn nuts was opened before the picture was taken. Something is just so good it has to be eaten right away. I've never tried any of the sorts of yarn I got, but I'm really looking forward to knit with it. I brought it with me to S'nB. They touched it, sighed longingly and touched it some more. Just like I do when I'm at home. It's just so soft. Whoever you are SP11, thanks a lot.
I have started another Nøstebarndress. This is for my nephew. It was a birthdaygift that was supposed to be done in April this year, but it's here now.
December is soon here. I have to be done with another Christmas calendar. My son have to have his own this year. I have embroidered a bit this week. I think I've come a bit. I haven't been working on it for too long.
I have knitted mittens again. No, I haven't managed to knit two right mittens with the Norwegian pattern yet. Instead I knitted a pair in a really chunky yarn. It's tempting to knit more, because it's really fast to knit with this yarn. I also knitted a headband for my son. Think I have enough yarn to knit him a hat as well. Soft and thick yarn, TopptTå. Never tried this yarn before, but I might try it again.
The yarn I used for the mittens and the headband, is a gift from 

Another pair of pants for my little son. This one is knitted in mor Aase, wool.
I have knitted another mitten. Really it doesn't take that long to knit mittens to children and actually it's a lot of fun. Yes, there is the thumb, which I haven't knitted yet, but even the thumb should be easy. The thumb is not that big and it's not that much work. I'm very pleased with myself when I pick up stitches for the thumb, when suddenly I notice something strange.
It's two lefties I have knitted. That's how it turns out when you're knitting without thinking and forget to knit the thumb on the opposite side on mitten number two. How is it possible? Now I suddenly remember why I don't care too much about knitting mittens. It has happened a couple of times before. I can knit two mittens, but three??? That's pushing it too far.
Got tired of knitting mittens and started embroidering the Winnie the Pooh calendar instead.
I have to show you this neckwarmer I knitted, since I said I would knit one this week. Another Christmas present and knitted in Juvel wool yarn.
I have finished the pants for my son. It turned out pretty nice. I had some leftovers, so I figured out that my little son needed mittens in the same yarn. This mitten still lacks a thumb and a partner, but it's kind of cute though. So small mittens are so cute. And I don't have to use a lot of time knitting them. I'll knit the other one during tonight or tomorrow night.
The Harry Potter-scarf is finished. I have to weave in threads. It's a Christmas present. I am so pleased with the scarf, that I think I'm going to knit one for myself as well. Long, thick and soft, and I think a big scarf is a great thing for me. I'm always cold. The scarf is knitted in Viking sportsgarn. It's new yarn and I haven't used it before. It's soft and 100% superwash wool.
I have bought myself a new wool winder. Actually it's almost a week since I got it, but I haven't had an opportunity to try it until today. Amazing thing, the wool winder. So easy to wind up yarn. Can't believe I haven't bought one earlier. Now I have the urge to wind up every skein I have, but maybe I should just start embroidering my Winnie the Pooh-calendar instead? 




Finally I got the Charmed Knits in the mail. There are som many people talking about this book and knitting stuff from it, so I had to buy it. It's thicker than I thought and so many nice patterns. I also got a sockbook in the mail. So many really beautiful socks, and if I didn't have a thing for socks, I certainly got it now.
