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. Jeg har fått pakke i julerunden på Hobbyboden. Det var fire pakker og et julekort, men ingen hint om hvem det var fra. Tusen, tusen takk hvem du nå enn er.

I've got a present from one at Hobbyboden. It was four presents and a Christmas card, but no clues. Thank you for the present who ever you are.
Jeg har fått gjort noe etter at jeg ble ferdig med julekalenderen. Ikke mye, men litt. Har startet på en julegave, men den kan jeg ikke legge ut her. Dessuten har jeg strikket ferdig en annen. Nok en Calorimetry. Denne gangen i lilla, så det er også mitt bidrag til Fargealongen. Rakk den fristen såvidt.

I have also done some knitting after I finished the calendar. Not much, but some. I have started on a Christmas present, but I can't show it here. And I'm done with another present, a Calorimetry. This time in purple so it's my contribution to the Color along as well. Just made the deadline.


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. 





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. 
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.
