The reason is no lust at all for it. And the d ... m shit that has been (look older post´s about me being redundant). But that is finished now more or less, well to 95%. But more on that will come some other day as it is rather late in the night right now.<br />One good and nice thing is that I now have got a internship (practice place, work), a good one too. Books, books, and books. :-D Yea this place is a Internet bookstore <a href="http://www.billigaboken.se/"><strong>Billiga Boken</strong> </a>that has a local in my home town Nora. Go in on that page (se link above) and have a look, I just got a nice knitting book from them.

So being inside finishing some projects and drinking tea is just perfect. So far no more snow here in Ås (outside Nora, Sweden).<br /><br />I have finished November months mittens "Pixie Warmers" in <a href="http://www.stickamera.se/pulsklubb2010.php"><strong><span style="color:#006600;">StickaMeras</span></strong></a> "Pulsclub" (mittens club). I made the mittens in Sandnes Alpakka and red one´s this time to. These mittens is a christmas present for my niece, so anyone know her do not tell her please :-). Hopefully she will be pleased with them. So now on to the next knitting project . . . . . . . . . :-).<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 251px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 295px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542754465893736770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9CbXbLN72zI3hJos0_1DWDaUx8RQp7Zj18z6VKsO-zsUS12JqJRei-GiGXPWd4KScGUZTQI-uGBrPwAcuxaD8oZ5mG9FmxeYAeOKwIxBR0JMRbU0OCUgaWDbnG2d1-HsF0O6wN6GZZqw/s320/MGs-pixie-warmers-nov2010.jpg" /> <div></div><div>Yesterday I discovered that there was no teabags left! I use tea bags in the morning and loose tea in the evenings, well other times to but I want to have time for loose tea and don´t like to prepare that when I´m in hurry. Hmmmm, grrrrrr into the pantry and looking round a bit. Aaaaaaa and there I found some tea flower "balls". It is tied tea leaves, when placed in hot water bloom to beautiful flowers. And the taste is quite goood also, shall mention that it is green tea. So I have to use these tea "balls" to warm me up untill today (have tea bags now). The "balls" I used has the long name "China Fujian Floating Osmanthus". <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 295px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542753818603954690" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3fTrFfkJEo2QOMcjO4u2_4tXgpSb0uG9sOz8odqvf7UYwDiGYDhXyOz4zUrmh3NNK1ClbQjPbORLig0oYcowBjrUXRLOrx3L88koWvy4XUpd5vGBBc1eKYpf2ZuUXbKusOh2FMHY0u5A/s320/tea-flower_both.jpg" /></div><div><div align="center"><em>Art is science made clear.<br /></em>~ Jean Cocteau</div><div></div><div>be nice to each other<br />Mari</div></div>Mari Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04649680772912481896noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652547744484780404.post-58134076726585033392010-11-18T11:47:00.010+01:002010-11-18T12:14:27.940+01:00Finished and up!Hello all!<br />Today when I looked at the amaryllis bulbs that I´ve put in pots on the 3 of november, I discovered that they have started to grow :-). In other words a slowly progress. So the bulbs were moved to a bit brighter place. Hope they continue to grow to beautyful flowers!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540844485198399218" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxCyxWWWZn7dkbrFmLoLGsOc7xVFl2qeqdbFU-o2-yuCA8VD1cn2LypyBzxEFU2UNn9o9D0Ia8wjoqq_xmP2N9k0cdaQIHenYUAzSpuoywmd9bc2U4NoAoQJKuB-Z4eKIqunwzLQKLdAM/s320/amaryllis--18nov2010.jpg" /> I have also finished (some week ago) my new mittens. A pair of red "<a href="http://rosatulpan.blogspot.com/2010/10/beskrivning-till-froken-smillas-muddar.html"><strong><span style="color:#006600;">Fröken Smillas mittens</span></strong></a>" (Miss Smillas mittens). I also put out pics on my knitting album at FB. Ooopps a reaction it was indeed, seems like red things attracts people :-) and I got some questions and nice words. The red colour seems to give reaction from many different directions and people I don´t even know!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 260px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 295px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540845147000869170" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8GioeRpCFY0YEFg_iM7rsdHTI5RNgrTIRErFVn2HUFsW6roFF_4kAL6HyfRagGM06KwW2TMzvObujCa2nFXObperQZrYlpgTIOkHvIUaLqyFe7FJhzavmmGSHAby3mZXWUriD-1GOC0c/s320/MGs-smilla-mittens-hand-nov2010.jpg" /> <div><div align="center"><em>The perfection of art is to conceal art.<br /></em>~ Quintilian</div><div>take care<br />Mari</div></div>Mari Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04649680772912481896noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652547744484780404.post-69515866416089534452010-11-14T10:54:00.017+01:002010-11-14T11:44:53.689+01:00A little joyHi all!<br />Again it has been some time since I wrote anything here, have been some (sigh) crap day´s again. And some people are really grrrrrrr and don´t think, they are airheads!<br />I have also got a time for my "sake" in the court, so in the first week of december I will se if I´m entitled to my right´s (my salary)!<br /><br />But there is also bright spots that lighten´s up the day. Like yesterday my older sister came with a whole basket with yarn, I got both yarn and a basket :-). Found almost at once some yarn that I can use for a birthday present to my niece´s birthday. Later on when I have put out a picture on my wall at FB, I got after some hour or so a question if I wanted some more yarn sent over to me in Sweden! Ooh more yarn happines :-). So in some time more yarn will come to me all the way from USA!<br />And I have also been to two nice knitting cafe´s this week, that is also some nice hour´s to spend a part of the day.<br /><div align="center"><em>The basket full off yarn.</em></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539347378078577186" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIu_A87VtJBhoyEXbIwZbaYUsqfP3vique_ZNdhW2iZ3NgJtu3fv636CDC19XlnW0KOLjLzaK_52ZpBixW8fnpScbosCDy_uilOcY3tPWM8IvposTVuHEpGaLeGlmM__HN23uqJ7oX8mI/s320/whole-basket-yarn-13nov2010.jpg" /><br />Again some nice music to listen to and I got this link from a friend some time ago.

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. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530896557110487314" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaBdofvg1L8qOEKCvPJiGJxBp_Z7YnAsKNnrEPsvBHZ_nVO7WS3JPzh4dgPefT2ZUYsXl5B9EzwcjK7RYWQ5yKw3x4Uz3poGASK6tdtME3-OdDjn5vnr2WZsLfo7JfXCnv31azkiVRg04/s320/First-snow2-22okt.jpg" />In other words, the winter is not "our" season at all.

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!

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.<br />Anyone out there have 1 skein of the yarn "Crazy" colour 015 from Idéna/Almedahls (se picture from last post), contact me!<br /><br />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 <strong>really</strong> hope this skein (ball) is enough for a pair off biiiiig socks! But have got some good advice and tips from <a href="http://kidassticksida.blogg.se/"><strong><span style="color:#006600;">Kida</span></strong></a>, Thank you!

Well not "totaly" but covered in fog so I could not see it at all.<br />The second picture is taken on my evening walk with the dogs.

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 <a href="http://renatesstrikk.blogg.se/"><strong><span style="color:#006600;">Renate</span></strong> </a>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!? <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523104756071980754" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBsMSEoS1qBNSviXKvWnK9us1hrh066vAt-Xtyh2rOb_NG8kT-yvHDTxJttLMDKBgOXwAYKlwdMjpaSSfyJ0q642coqSRtRSdkBI4ALZiA3UdYcG2dJjYoB-84m81U0brA9aMaKNrxgv4/s320/stickcafe-Nora-29sep2010_mina1sockor.jpg" /><br /><div><div align="center"><em>When the heart speaks,<br />the mind finds it indecent to object.</em><br />~Milan Kundera<br /></div><div>be kind to each other<br />Mari</div></div>Mari Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04649680772912481896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652547744484780404.post-86269441467289863152010-09-21T19:54:00.028+02:002010-09-21T20:57:07.522+02:00Mix<div align="left">Hi all! </div><div align="left">Been a while since I wrote anything, as usual the inspiration has not been there at all!

That I hate when they are trying to get away with what they owe in other words! That is the situation with my case and requirements at this time, unfortunately. Procastination, procastination . . . is apperently a way to try to get away from everything and very common infortunately. See post from <em><span style="color:#cc0000;">2009-12-20</span></em> then you understand these words better. Wonder if I ever will see/get my money (wage) some time, get what I have the right to?? I´m quite pissed off (and down some days) and to know that it is not just me that is in the same situation as me it´s, it´s grrrrrrrrrrr and a bit more. I do Not like it at all! Pitty some people always think that they have right and never can have wrong. Everyone can from time to time have wrong!<br />Enough of that for this time over to som nice, fun things instead.<br /><br />This is what I got in the swap "Yarn & tea 6" at <a href="http://www.stickamera.se/"><strong><span style="color:#006600;">StickaMera</span></strong></a>. Some nice Ecological Baby wool yarn. Not sure yet what I shall do, hmmm maybe a pair of winter mitts? Anyone out there have any suggest?? Ooh it was some nice tea in it to :-). Thanks my swap friend Elin.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 277px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504945631105934002" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirM4QZhQvUtAkoRbOappnnwJc-V57x_0xDLLSckYTsvD07tCvs1cXc5jsq5qRofZmq9I7lAdkoKF2b-WXJ_Siwb1r00AAZvNpY8_rY2XUr9P_WeTvrK3WF6XePWRACCDzxbcMLKeO0S-Q/s320/GarnTe6-juli2010.jpg" /><br />I have also finished a cover for my mobile phone. I did not like the cover that was with it, it was ridicilous and uggly, black fake leather and totaly open in 2 ends!? This one is knitted in some spare yarn i had (from another swap last year), it´s "Opal Bambus" a really nice yarn. I want more of that but have had hard to find it so is it someone out there know where to get it contact me. Have no pattern to this one, it is made from my own head. On the back I did a "strap" so I can put it in a belt or on a bag if I want to do that. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 223px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504947130412818482" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg2z8q1AUP5m-8akKoikxe_xJuo0N4O1Em5NAVdqFJ8wVRf9y-ly8HNDarvslUXLDaBC5NPxUAxBR3hqSgAdUoLZ09BHI9zd-4dp73T-V0s3EpqkqZGDtSMH44lEhGflAqMJq4yikT87w/s320/mobile-cover_Opalbambus.jpg" /> Now my head is a bit empty on words and inspiration so I end it here for this time.<br /><br /><div align="center"><em>A ruffled mind makes a restless pillow.</em></div><div align="center"><em>~Charlotte Bronte</em></div><br />Take care and say nice things to each other.<br />MariMari Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04649680772912481896noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652547744484780404.post-3776548338592236742010-07-27T17:28:00.028+02:002010-07-27T18:01:25.227+02:00Mittens + musicHi all<br />Not so much to say just a little bit comes here.<br />I´m finally done with my "May mittens" <em>'Elin'</em> in <a href="http://www.stickamera.se/"><strong><span style="color:#009900;">StickaMeras</span></strong></a> <a href="http://www.stickamera.se/pulsklubb2010.php"><strong><span style="color:#006600;">Pulsclub</span></strong></a>. That was some weeks ago but have not taken any pictures until until now, with the mobile phone. So they might not be that good, but you see the mittens anyway. They are knitted in Drops Alpacka, darkblue. This is one of my favorite yarns, so soft and nice to knit in. And I also decided not to have any buttons at the lace part as you can see. I sewed beads there instead as I also did on one row a couple of rows from where the lace ended. Thid is my first try to include beads in a knitted thing.

I also got to choose colour on the yarn, se my picture below what colour I chose.<br /><div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 217px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485739223408426114" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHCYwHkBoOEh9tf2xwEVeareEUNvdJ8E03vMWWD3t8euBPCzmcpe6ds0l7peh8NVIiAaE2uAd-ubEnTSzfuMhWSEZAEs3JGbt_RoAVTT53bT80r8deZOfuT7qa7NUj0yl5GQo3_ExMzQg/s320/vinst-torgstenen-var2010.jpg" /></div><div><br />I have also got two packages from two swaps with <a href="http://www.stickamera.se/"><strong><span style="color:#006600;">StickaMera</span></strong></a>. First came the "Cup & yarn" package from Berit in Denmark. It was some nice danish mohair/wool yarn and a nice cup, not sure yet what to do with the yarn, it is two different light green/grey shades on it. The second package was the "Chocolate & yarn" from Kerstin in Åkersberga with some nice wool (the pink/grey shaded one) yarn from <a href="http://www.ullcentrum.com/"><strong><span style="color:#006600;">Ullcentrum</span></strong> </a>that I know what to do with :-). It was also some beige mohair mix yarn in it but not sure what to do with that yet. The chocolate have I already eaten up, it was tasty :-).</div><p align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7hOtBhkJuN7Q1Q-Nv3yLU93Sx19vqyExnus22K-jRUTtrxsd3ACIPS4GQ0BQpYTURxaHIZPXJTxKLwD0lEJjFzBYil8wAsuL6fJ12PeApcNfqI_53xhSlnHEGSwy-92HnOEGgY7dywcY/s1600/en-kopp-garn_juni210.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 144px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485741809432257490" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7hOtBhkJuN7Q1Q-Nv3yLU93Sx19vqyExnus22K-jRUTtrxsd3ACIPS4GQ0BQpYTURxaHIZPXJTxKLwD0lEJjFzBYil8wAsuL6fJ12PeApcNfqI_53xhSlnHEGSwy-92HnOEGgY7dywcY/s200/en-kopp-garn_juni210.jpg" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirZm45sFY5re18Iqlzj8AtNdWAtieULI8ne0_GnSa6EUsVQRtohAft36tpLeWhMgx5ST_oDfU3t3h2hf2w47PU1oyPFxsRHkb3TLBGoi6oB6oTguyIeR3G5dc2U-PsjNQ-nISZBURvJII/s1600/garn-choklad-juni2010.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 196px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485742121084368002" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirZm45sFY5re18Iqlzj8AtNdWAtieULI8ne0_GnSa6EUsVQRtohAft36tpLeWhMgx5ST_oDfU3t3h2hf2w47PU1oyPFxsRHkb3TLBGoi6oB6oTguyIeR3G5dc2U-PsjNQ-nISZBURvJII/s200/garn-choklad-juni2010.jpg" /></a></p><p align="left">Ends tonight with my words:<br /><em><br />. . . she was taught to keep things inside,<br />she was taught to be quiet,<br />to emptiness deep inside . . .</em><br />~ MG 2010</p><p align="left">take care and be nice to each other<br />Mari</p></div>Mari Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04649680772912481896noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652547744484780404.post-50446686529268910092010-06-15T12:20:00.009+02:002010-06-15T12:52:32.299+02:00My birthday girl!<div align="left">My sweet little basenji girl Sunny (Triad´s Summer Dream) is today 9 years old!<br />Where on earth has the time gone, have I already had her for 9 years?

Same reason as before, the inspiration is not quite there! To many thoughts, days is down, up, down . . . . . . . . . so on. Just hope it will end some time, I need a breake, need to get away from this stupid ground for a while, or longer . . . . . . . . .<br />My oldest dog Luppe (13½ years old) is also on medication right now, he goes on cortizone and penecillin + was shampoed, some skin problem. I was quite worried there for a while and still is, he is old! He seemes to take the treatment good, shall have a check on him some day this week, maybe it will be taken a biopsy.<br /><br />I have now finished my dishcloth in the <strong><a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/MariG-Nora/rachels-mystery-dishcloth-knit-along--may-2010"><span style="color:#009900;">dishcloth knit-along</span></a></strong><span style="color:#009900;">.</span> It was my first time in a thing like like that and probably not the last time either! You knit a couple of rows, that you get the pattern to, each day, in this case for 9 days. A fun way to knit along with others, can recomend it! Have already start to use this one to :-). Maybe some of you wounder how it work to use these knitted dishcloths? Well they are much better than the one´s you buy, more economic, good for the nature and they look alot more nicer! :-). And you just wash them in the washmachine when you wash something else.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477821162412465122" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8AdJpVH_BIRZplIyKYYVMmkQuAWE-dCUZTWXjjkHXRbIBlJi1Etn846DuOFo9W2IfLimNhBWvYT8fUGycTw0PL_7UKoEdRQfXllJBCyTcEswn5S_tIw0_Xi12p8iJJchn08CWYqldoNw/s200/day9-may2010-finished_knit-along.jpg" /> And I have also joined a new swap with <strong><a href="http://www.stickamera.se/"><span style="color:#009900;">StickaMera</span></a></strong>, "En kopp garn" - "A cup of yarn". You send a cup/mug, yarn and some other small goodies (if you want) to a friend that you get. I have already sent away the package to my friend (yesterday).

That is not just for me but also for other´s sake. One good thing is that my "sake" has taken one more step forward but it goes slowly <span style="font-size:85%;">(see basic post from 2009-12-20 + here and there).</span> I could say more now but I think that would not be soo good as it is an ongoing thing! Can say that I do not like people who lies, especially if they are lying to the goverment!<br /><br />One good thing today that made it better was that I got a package in the mailbox <span style="font-size:85%;">(the snail mail)</span> :-). It was from the dischcloth swap that <a href="http://www.stickamera.se/"><strong><span style="color:#009900;">StickaMera </span></strong></a>arranged. And I got my cloth today from <span style="color:#009900;">"</span><a href="http://urmoderns.blogg.se/"><strong><span style="color:#009900;">Urmodern</span></strong></a><span style="color:#009900;">"</span> Eva. It was a nice knitted dischcloth in one of my favorite colours lime green. And she had also put in some other things like nice chocolate and a cappucccino bag that I´m actually taking right now + writing in the blog at the same time :-).<br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 263px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473354243112455666" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKu5duqvMo4KLHOj5Z3g0GeYp2kx1iJY5qvmXDCQZMCtxvlmcJILf-oDvBY9UMYv4bVRw7Fec1P2jz7elbQIYzS2Qvj2R4Fou5jKyMNHyt3Xdw5fP3EBnO4UlppBhfT_slD1YLiDZteC8/s320/disktrasebyte-maj2010_Igot.jpg" /></p><p>I´m also in my first knit-along, with Rachel´s <a href="http://rachelsknittingcorner.blogspot.com/"><strong><span style="color:#009900;">Mystery Dishcloth knit along.</span></strong></a> But more on that + picture will come another day when I feel for writing a bit more.</p><p>take cara, say nice things to each other, be true to each other!<br />Mari</p>Mari Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04649680772912481896noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652547744484780404.post-23684828055210098672010-05-11T13:05:00.008+02:002010-05-11T13:36:05.898+02:00NatureHi all<br />Have been some day´s since I wrote anything. I kind off had no feeling to write, yea has been some bad mood day´s. Has been up, down, emptiness, down and so on. Miss the time that was a lot, good friends and all the special things that was too. Hopefully it will be better, or will it?<br /><br />Yesterday I got my "friend" to knit a dishcloth to at StickaMeras <a href="http://stickamera.se/disktrasebyte.php"><strong><span style="color:#006600;">"Dishcloth swap"</span></strong></a>. So I took a break from my shawl "Gail" and is now doing a cloth with my design on to the "friend" I shall send it to. And in some days or so I will get one from someone that has knitted one to me, a bit exciting isen´t it? :-)<br /><br />End with this strong quote, but I like it and it is true!

The whole day I was looking forward to the knitting café that should be at the library in town (Nora). So in the afternoon I took my bike and did go in, a bit rain it was but that didn´t matter then. I really wanted to go in :-). There I meet some nice people and a woman that has a yarn shop had taken some yarn with her, but I did not buy anything, weird!!!<br />And finally I meet again <a href="http://emmasdagar.blogspot.com/"><strong><span style="color:#006600;">EmmaE</span></strong></a> and she had her daughter Signe with her. That was really good that she came because I had again got stuck in my "Gail" shawl. But she helped me and I in the end "got" it. So now everything seems to be OK and I´m now on the second repeat :-). <strong>Big thanks Emma! </div><p align="center"></strong><span style="font-size:85%;"><em><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 280px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 244px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465512624975845922" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnLJrxHajpLKlRphOmdO65MH5NpYJe3_Jg389p1_PpMJDq8Y6CiZmRKdJrSGRU8Y0Owa7bpLOvFuUjBq_sXj01R2iOVPwrb8TDpJn5VWq0sZ4qkWVc94frCkHfyActg3YkGdzwv6KexEg/s320/knit-cafe-Nora-28april_Signe.jpg" />Emmas daughter Signe fixing with the puzzle (allowed to use the picture).</em></span><br /><br /></p><p align="left">Today on the other hand it´s :-( :-(. The weather is boring, grey and cold. Rain is hanging in the air and the stupid "road machine" has been here and scraped the road, yea we gravel road.

And on top of that i´m frezzing exactly as Sunny does, think actually I might do like her snuggle up in the kitchen sofa, have a look at the picture.

But it is not, these cloths is made in cotton, cotton/flax mix or a mix of cotton/bamboo. I have tried all mixes and they work well all of them :-). If you want something fast to knit, something to knit that you really don´t need to think much well then dishcloths is excellent :-)). Of course there is patters where you need to pay attensione!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 40px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464733861653322082" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPC25JWlvSS1gyyZef1X3ddBHGyh1Q-5mzbMHQBto0b4naSHsgFQ25yftwtTdtCdH93nK__YYW_G0cjH064mr0B0xBm0ZogB_3HYAPwa6Wve7pMQx0BuTYMvPfi7CickqwxLJLHAp2p3o/s320/disktrasebyteltn_maj2010.jpg" />Yesterday evening, hmm probably night :-) I joined <a href="http://www.stickamera.se/"><strong><span style="color:#006600;">StickaMeras</span></strong></a> dishcloth swap.

It is fun and you can if you want put in small things in the package too, maybe some candy or other fun.<br /><br />have a nice day all, say some nice words to each other!<br />MariMari Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04649680772912481896noreply@blogger.com0
