Knapper og bånd/buttons and ribbonsI have been a trip to Stoff og stil, a fabric shop. My husband joined me, but regretted after we'd been there a while. We bought curtains for my sons room, the kitchen and curtains to go underneath the bed for my daughter. I also bought three cuts of some nice Christmas fabric. Have absolutely no idea what to make of it, but I'm sure I'll find some inspiration at Hobbyboden. I also bought a fabric with lovely colorchanges in blue, pink and purple. Thought I should have a go at the needlecase. Couldn't resist some wooden buttons and some ribbons.
Jeg har strikket to julegaver, en lilla calorimetry og en rød stjernehals. Har ikke blokket og festet tråder på stjernehalsen enda. Begge deler er strikket i Juvel. Jeg strikket en lilla stjernehals også, i alpakka fra Du store alpakka. Irriterende nok hadde jeg ikke nok garn, så jeg vet ikke helt hva jeg skal gjøre, men jeg må nok rekke opp og starte på en ny.



I have knitted two Christmas presents, a purple calorimetry and a red wrap, is it called that? Haven't had time to bead in threads yet. Both are knitted in Juvel, wool yarn. I knitted a purple neck as well in alpaca from Du store alpakka. Frustration hit when I realised I didn't have enough yarn, so now I don't know what to do but I have to start all over.
Finally I got my secret pal-gift for July. It took time, but I got a message that it was delayed and I've been gone as well. This gift was worth a wait. It's easy to notice that
I'm almost done with the Christmas calendar. The only thing left is a few details, but I'm doing it a little at a time. Have worked so much with it that I'm almost bored with it. It will be done in time for Christmas at least.
I'm also done with my Aurelia-socks. They fit perfectly and should have been done earlier this summer, especially with the weather we've had here;) They will probably be good during autumn as well. They are knitted in Opal cotton.
The summer is still absent. The only positiv thing about that is that I'm getting more work done during rainy days than during hot sunny days. I've finished a pair of socks knitted in Opal, a Christmas present. 
I have received a great packet in the mail from
Today another great packet came in the mail, this time from 


I got a super nice surprise in the mail just the other day. A packet from Barbro.
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.
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
I have received my secret pal-gift for June. It was lovely and a lot of thanks to tussilago. Great to get new yarn since my stash was unwillingly on a diet.
I have finished my tunic. I wore it my last workday before my summer holiday. So pleased with it, even though it is very sugarcandycolored. I might knit another one, but in different colors. It was easy to knit, but I don't like all the loose threads.
Finally my turn to try Opal cotton. Great yarn, so soft and delicate. I knitted a couple of socks for my husband. He is so warm that it just might be that theese socks are good enough to the middle of winter. I have another skein of Opal cotton. It wasn't ruined by the flood in the basement, because I never got so far to put it down there. Something I'm happy for today. I'm knitting a pair of socks for me. I'm looking for a pattern. Maybe I knit kew from Knitty. 
I have finally managed to finish my first Jan. It took longer time than I thought, because my girl didn't want a tunic, but a dress. I had to go out and buy more yarn. She was happy with the dress at least. Now I only have to iron it and put a belt on it. The other Jan I hope to finish today. Had to buy more yarn and got it yesterday. It's going to be a dress as well.Jeg er med på fargealongen, og juni er rosa. Jeg er veldig glad i rosa, så i tillegg til Jan i rosa, strikker jeg en tunika til meg selv. Ble inspirert på strikkecafé av kattepus. 
I am a part of the Colorkal, and June is pink. I love pink, so additional to the Jan in pink, I am knitting a tunic for me. I was inspired by kattepus at the local S'nB.
I bought yarn yesterday. Ended up with a couple of more skeins than I was supposed too, but it usually ends up with some skeins extra. I was a good girl yesterday and bought only two skeins extra. Mauds garn had a special offer on Opal cotton I couldn't refuse, one skein for 39, NOK, or about 5 euro.
I have also startet on a pair of pants for my little boy. Knitting in Mor Aase wool yarn with the pattern of knit 3 and purl 2 to get a better shape.




I have had the pattern of Jan a long time, actually almost a year, but I haven't knitted one yet. Nowadays a lot of people at Hobbyboden have started to knit one, so I was inspired to knit one as well. I'm going to knit mine in brown cotton and in a multicolored cotton yarn I bought in France. 
I have started to knit the Monkey-socks from Knitty. They were not hard to knit and it didn't take long before I hade memorized the pattern. I'm starting on sock number two tonight. I'm using Opal.
I have finished knitting part 3 of the Yarnmystery. Very exciting. I have absolutely no clue of what I'm knitting. Part 4 is coming June the 1st. at 19.00 o'clock. I'm looking forward to it.
I have knitted a couple of limegreen socks to my son from the yarn I got from my secret pal in May at Hobbyboden. They are my contribution to Colour-along too. May is green.
I have signed up to resolve the Yarn mystery through Hobbyboden. Liv-Toril is the organizer. First part was to find yarn and needles. Yesterday we got part two. We were supposed to knit a square. I have done that. Have no idea what so ever of what I'm knitting, but I'm waiting with excitement for part three to be expected at May 27th at 19.00 o'clock.
I have crocheted a bit further on my ripply. It does not move fast forward, but I'm half way almost. Now I've run out of yarn, so I need to do a bit of yarn shopping today. The Ripply is now 87 cm long. It's supposed to be 2 m, so it's a bit to go. 


I have to do something else while crocheting the Ripply. So I have started knitting a sweater in Mor Aase, pure wool. It's a birthday present for someone who has birthday very soon, so I don't have much time, but I think I'm going to make it.
I really had no intention what so ever to start crocheting a ripple, but here I go. I haven't bought yarn for the whole thing, but just enough for the weekend;) My husband actually liked the ripple and drove me around today to find a store which sold the yarn. I'm using Mor Aase wool. Soft and delicate. This is one of my longterm projects. I have been very eager to start, but I know myself and soon the progress is going to be slower. My plan is to finish it before the winterseason comes again.
I have knitted a dress for my daughter's Babyborn doll. She was a bit disappointed that it wasn't a real 17th of May-dress, that means a Norwegian folk dress. Stopped by a yarn store and bought pattern for doll clothes. Found a dress which didn't have that much pattern on it.
