Det er kaldt her, men vi har hatt noen flotte dager med sol! Kaldt og klart, og kjølige netter, men vi har ikke hatt frost her ute ved kysten enda. Men det er godt med ei ulljakke og en kopp varm te mellom hendene!
Look at this lovely yarn! A gift from Mrs.Stashbasket! She made a hamper for her parents golden wedding, and I sent her a couple of things from Norway that had "gull" (gold) in the name. She had a drawing among those who suggested items to put into it, and I won:-) There were some chocolates too...were...
Se på dette flotte garnet! En gave fra Michaela. Hun laget ei svær korg til foreldrenes gullbryllup, med matvarer etc med ordet "gull" i. Jeg sendte henne etpar ting fra Norge, bl.a. gullbrød. Hun hadde en utlodning blant dem som foreslo gjenstander å legge opp i korga, og jeg var en av de heldige vinnerne. Det var litt sjokolade der også...var...
The yarn will be made into something warm for me! Both are from PoshYarn, Helena in orange and Elinor (a sock yarn)in the other. So there will be a pair of socks- any patternsuggestions?
Thank you Michaela, I love it!
Har planer om å strikke noe til meg selv av dette, kanskje blir det sokker i noe annet enn nylonforsterket strømpegarn??? Men kan de brukes da? Blir det ikke hull med en gang? Nydelig garn, ihvertfall!

Well, there has been a bit of knitting going on... Farmor showed a hat (pattern can be found here), and I really liked the decresing on top, so I've made one and casted on for a second. Perfect for the boys. I'm using 3.5mm needles, and Dale of Norway Heilo or Falk yarn, 2 balls/100grams/200meters, and the smallest size.
Jeg har jo strikka litt også...Farmor's viste ei lue, Jaques Costeau-lua, og jeg likte veldig godt fellinga i toppen, så nå er jeg ferdig med en og har lagt opp til den neste. Bruker Falk på den ene, og Heilo på den andre. Pinne nr. 3.5, og la opp 120 m. Det passa godt på midt hode, og jeg er tjukkere i huet enn sønnene..;-)

Another pair of Loksins! Can't remember which yarn I used, but it's a sock yarn, with 20-25% nylon in it. These will probably go into the giftbasket, becuse they are still not big enough for me! I'll have to add a few stitches to make it work, but I love the pattern, and it's really quick!
Og så nok at par av Loksins! Husker ikke hvilket garn, men sannsynligvis Silja eller Ida...ihvertfall noe nylonforsterka! Disse går i gaveskuffen, for de passer fortsatt ikke til meg! Jeg må legge opp litt flere masker til meg selv. Men fine er de, og morsomme å strikke!

This is just to try a pattern- should fit a newborn, but now I've forgotten where I found it:-( ,oh well, it was rather boring to knit. Knit in Babywool on 2.5 mm. I used tiny little woolvests like this one on my own kids all the time.

Mittens! Monstermønster posted a pattern for the first pair here- the ones with allover braids. In the green pair, I knit a cabled ribbing, and a tiny cable on the back, plus the Latvian braids, and the fair isle mittens with Squirrels is from Pinneguri. There's a braid on those too...The yarn is leftovers from my fishafghan, pure wool that will felt when used. All pairs are too small on me, so they probably go straight into the giftbasket...

No view today...although it's gorgeous!, but I can't find out how to move and add and remove pictures from an entry! I have to upload all photos first, and then write in between...
