Engler daler ned i sky

here we have two angels I made as instructed by Unnis book.

A second pair of easy mittens.

christmas reveals

Since theese get opened today I think I can reveal them now. I had a knitting frenzy lately to get all the gifts ready. This hat is knitted in fritidsgarn from sandnes

Theese are the simplest mittens ever, take two hours to knit: the yarn is cortina exlusive from gjestal and dpns 5mm. Cast on 30 st. knit 5 rounds garter stitch, the rest is knittet stokingnette. Knit 25 rounds, knit in an other yarn for 8 stitches to make a hole for the thumb. kontinue knitting for another 25 rounds. The decrease is a traditional round decrease, k2tog k 3 repeat to end of row, knit 3 rows, k2tog k2 to end of row. knit 2 rounds, k2tog k1 to end of round, k one round, k2tog to end of round, cut yarn and thread thru the remaining stitches. pick up the 15 stitches of the thumb, knit to fit and k2tog on last round. cut yarn and thread thru remaining stitches. weave in ends. this mitten is size man about.

My first attempt on EZ mitered mittens.

my guest slippers. Theese are knitted in 4 strands of finull from rauma.

Knitting again

I'm knitting and making patterns again. This is a low quality picture but gives you an idea of whats coming. It¨s a spin off my little lady summer hat pattern. The yarn is Svale and there is an inscription in runes. This will come as a pattern sometime soon. In this hat the inscription says the name of the reciver, but in the pattern it will be a copy of an old rune inscription that says:

liki munu lifa hnta

It can translate to:

long shall they (the runes) live and protect.

The inscription is from the Orrestad stone and is fron the later part of the viking aera. I have translated the runic letters to the older futhark, as it is the one most people know and I usually use. I hope you like it.

update

Ok, no posting all summer, hmm... that wasn't supposed to happen. What have i been doing? Well took some timetravel. My hobbies this summer have consentrated on vikings. I have made viking outfits to everybody in the family. This is a picture of me in my outfit, not a good picture, but the best of 3. Have to get more pictures. We were at the Hornbore ting in hamburgsund in sweden last weekend. Lovely place. Next weekend I'll be in Berkåk at the rennebumartnan craft show also as viking, with my viking group Starfa.
I finished the may socks in Sokker 2008 but I cant seem to understand the june pattern... Hmm. I guess I need to make nålebundne socks instead... or... No cant give up yet... Promise to update sooner... promise...

Sokker 2008 oppdaterin, mars og april

Nå er jeg ajour med sokkene i Sokker 2008. De fargerike er mars sokkene, strikket i opal neon, de lilla er etter eget hode, strikket av hubro med fletter i vrangborden.
I am now up to date on my Socks 2008 KAL. The colorful ones are march socks knitted in Opal neon, the purple ones are my own pattern knitted in Hubro from Dalegarn with cables in stead of k2p2.

Kaksi today

As Kaksi has grown so much the last weeks I thought I had to give you pics of her today... It is almost impossible to take good photos of her as she wants to eat the camera..

Meet Latte and Kaksi

This is our newest familymember. He is a one year old angora rabbit red/yello color. He is called Latte and will give me exellent spinning fibre in one month.
Three weeks ago we got another familymember called Kaksi. She is a now 12 weeks old golden retriver labrador retriver mix. She is going to be a guide dog for blind people in two years if she passes the test then. Right now she is ours and we enjoy this baby very much. This picture is from the day we got her and she has grown considerably since then. (Her fiber value is yet to be determined.)

Hemmelig venn April

Se hva som ventet meg i postkassen i dag! En kjempeflott pakke med akkurat sånt sokkegarn jeg sto og tok på på garnhuset på fredag men ikke tok meg råd til å kjøpe! Tusen takk. Det var Kvikk lunsj og kjempegod te også men de har fått ben å gå på i hvertfall har de fått et bedre sted å være.... Pakken var også kjempe nydelig, skjønner at jeg skal pakke gavene bedre, det er jo en nytelse å få slike vakre pakker...

Look at what my postman brought me today! A secret pal gift from hobby boden. The sock yarn is the same I was thinking of byuing at my LYS on friday, but didn't buy, because I thought I souldn't use more money on yarn, and then it came in the post, love it. There was some chocolate and tea too, but most of it's already gone to a better place. The packet was beautifully wrapped and I think I'm going to do the same and use more time to make it look nice, its so nice to get so beautifull gifts...

Vennskapsteppe mars og april

Her er lappene jeg fikk av Wims i mars, skulle blogga de for lenge siden men jeg har vært i dvale, tror jeg. I hvert fall tusen takk for flotte lapper, jeg likte godt begge to spesielt snoopy lappen!


Disse fargerike lappene fikk jeg nettopp av Gopio. Tusen takk for fargerike lapper!
Disse vakre lappene fikk jeg nettopp av Ellen Strikkedilla, de er flotte tusen takk!

Vennskapsteppe

Jeg har fått to lapper til til vennskapsteppet denne gangen fra Lillesnuppa. Tusen takk de er flotte.

Vennskapsteppe

Se på disse flotte lappene jeg fikk av Kdoris! Jeg kan nesten ikke vente med å sy teppet sammen... Dette er gøy og akkurat hva jeg trenger nå når formen ikke er på sitt beste.

Vennskapsteppe lapper

Nå har jeg fått de to første lappene til vennskapsteppe alongen! De er fra Jogusi og er kjempefine!
Jeg har selv strikket 6 lapper og koser meg med å lage mønstre, må riktignok jobbe med størrelsen. Det er vanskelig å strikke akkurat 20 cm...
