Hmmmm, snow!

Hi all!
This morning when I got up and should go out with the dogs on this day´s first walk we all discovered that the first snow (for this season) had come. NOT particulary funny and none of us where specially amused by it, and it was cold to. :-( The dogs needed their knitted sweater´s on. In other words, the winter is not "our" season at all. And Sunny (to the right) is in her "season" or as you also say heat period, phuuu. Soon she is out of her "risky" day´s.

take care

Hej!
Today a great singer should have turned 70 years! As we all know he did not, he got shot outside his home! I have defenitely not heard or listened to everything he has done as a group member to The Beatles or as a solo artist.

Got this song to listen to from a friend some time ago. Did get surprised because I hadn´t heard it before, well not taken notice of it anyway! The song is on the album "Imagine" wich was recorded in 1971 and the song is the nice 'Jealous Guy'. It´s a pitty that this song has not get so much attension it´s worth that as much as other songs on that album. I think it´s great! Just listen to John Lennon.

Grrrrrrrrr, new

Hi!
Grrrrr, have realised that my first pair off socks must be put on hibernation (rest) for a while. The yarn is not enough at all, 1 skein is only :-( for about half the sock and a bit more. So now I have to wait until I find at least 1 more skein of the bl........dy yarn! Or I have to mix with another yarn/colour in some way.
Anyone out there have 1 skein of the yarn "Crazy" colour 015 from Idéna/Almedahls (se picture from last post), contact me!

So what now then? Well on to another pair off socks :-) this time in Zauerball yarn. Never knitted in that before, have only just started and so far so good. A bit thin though but I will get used to it. I really hope this skein (ball) is enough for a pair off biiiiig socks! But have got some good advice and tips from Kida, Thank you! I might come with more questions :-).

Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart

Some pictures

Hi all!
This time I want to share two pictures that I took with the mobilephone in september. They kind of illustrated the mood and mind I was on those day´s.

First picture is on a foggy morning on my way to the stable to let the horses out. The lake was completely gone!!! Well not "totaly" but covered in fog so I could not see it at all.
The second picture is taken on my evening walk with the dogs. Dark, dark was it and just the moon was there to light it up.

On wednesday this week, 29 september I was at the first knitting café for the autumn at the library in Nora. We actually sat in the middle of the exhibition hall where it was an ongoing exhibition with the culture educators in Nora! I got some help from Renate with the assembly of my top, I kind of had got stuck there as the description was a bit wanky. Then I started to knit on my first pair of socks ever!!! Well will se how these will be, shall not keep them for my self but have some other yarn to knit socks to me to :-). Hmmm maybe I´m not a "sock" person/knitter!?
