Jeg fikk noen nøster med alpakka-garn fra Du Store Alpakka til jul. Måtte finne ut hva jeg ville strikke og en fint mønster. Jeg endte opp med en hals til meg selv fra Drops. Ble veldig fornøyd med resultatet, og tulla erklærte at hun ville ha lik hals. Kan nok hende jeg må strikke en til henne også.



For Christmas I got some skeins of alpaca yarn from Du Store Alpakka. I had to find out what I wanted to knit and a nice pattern. I ended up with a neckwarmer to me. The pattern is fraom Drops. I'm very happy with the resault, and my daughter said she wanted a neckwarmer exactly like mine. I might end up knitting another for her.
Jeg har startet på et par sokker til. Oppskriften er fra boka Favorite socks. Fin bok og det første sokkeparet jeg strikker fra den boka. Strikker i Opal som jeg fikk fra en hemmelig venn i september fra Hobbyforum, sina.

I have started on another pair of socks. The patter is from the book Favorite socks. Nice book and it's the first pair of socks I knit from the book. I use Opal I got from my secret friend, sina, in September from Hobbyforum.
Jeg fikk en pris fra kath. You make my day, heter de. Tusen takk ! Veldig koselig å få en sånn pris. Jeg skal gi den videre, men skal bare tenke litt først. 

I got an award from kath, you make my day. Thank you. That's so nice. I have to think a little while before I give it away.
My Blueberry waffle socks are done. I have used Regia Kaffe Fasett and the colors are just beautiful. So pleased with them and I think I'm going to use this yarn again.
I have received my PIF, Pay it forward, gift from 


I have started on the extra socks in the sock kal 2008,




I have knitted something I have taken pictures of as well. This dress is for me. I am so pleased with it. It fits perfect and is so soft and great. I knitted it in alpaca and Safran cotton. It was a real fast knit on needles 6 mm. 
My daughter is very pleased. I have finally finished her princess sweater. I started on it early this autumn, but it has been on hold because I started knitting Christmas presents. But here it is, finished. 



The day before Christmas and soon all the stress is gone and we can relax and enjoy Christmas. I'm done with all the presents, but have to wrap some of them tonight. I still have to do a bit of cleaning and tidying in the house as well, but I'll do that after the kids are asleep tonight. Not too much to do left now. The last Christmas gift was finished last night, so now I have to find something to knit during Christmas. I hade decided to knit a dress for myself, but I think I am going to be resonable and finish some of my projects. I think I'm going to start on my dress, but you have to have several projects to knit on at the same time? Well, all that's left, is to wish everyone





I've got a present from




I have bought some yarn for some projects I'm going to knit during the Christmas holidays. A lot of lovely pink yarn. It might be a bit too pink, but I like pink. A little color brightens the day, though. Will be exciting to see if it's too pink or not.
I have noticed that this is the time to make Christmas presents. A lot of the blogs I visit have just close up pictures of what they are making. I'm knitting Christmas presents as well. Christmas time is getting close. We have baked to kind of Christmas cookies, decorated a little bit and have started to wrap a few of the Christmas presents. I take my chances and dare to show what I have been knitted since last time. I don't think they read my blog, or so I hope. Here is a couple of Bainbridge scarves.
I have knitted mittens in Alpakka from Drops. They are so soft and delicious. Hopefully warm as well. The pattern is from Garnstudio, but originally they were gloves but I made them into mittens.
Finally done with the Christmas calendar. I was actually done on Monday, but haven't had the time to blog. Now I'm going to hang small presents on it and hang it on the wall. Then all that's left is everything else I'm supposed to have done before Christmas. Don't think I'm going to do cross stitch for a long time. 



Christmas is coming soon. I just miss the black around every figure and the numbers on my Christmas calendar, but it's only a few more days before my son's starting to use it for the first time. Have to admit that this project is not the most interesting and fun I've done in my life. But it's soon done, and then both of the kids have their own and I'm not going to make another one.
