Mittens + music

Hi all
Not so much to say just a little bit comes here.
I´m finally done with my "May mittens" 'Elin' in StickaMeras Pulsclub. 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. Will defenitely do i t again!


Must have some music to. The other day when I came home from a dogshow (the first one for this summer). I was really tired and my mind was not with me at all plus I was wet into the skin and a bit more! I miss so much and my lust and inspiration is not as it should. So I wanted to listen to some soft and "silence" music. I found the execellent "Sound of Silence" with Simon & Garfunkel (live sound). Click the picture to come to the music and video!

Picture is taken by my friend John P.

Will end with this fitting poem.

"In the sweet territory of silence we touch the
mystery. It´s the place of reflection and
contemplation, and it´s the place where we can connect
with the deep knowing, to the deep wisdom way."
~Angeles Arrien

take care all, say nice things to each other

Yarn and mittens

Hi all

Well snow has come a lot and more seems to be on the way :-(. Well I kind of had enough of it now, want spring and summer + some warm weather!

Some nice thing though. A day this week a package came with some tea and yarn in it, yea a chocolate cake too :-). It was my package in the "Tea & yarn swap 5" at StickaMera (see link to the left). Many and big thanks to my swap friend Ing-Marie Å from Kåge. I had some thought on what to do with the yarn but now I have decide to do a pair of slippers, that will be cosy indeed. Ooh the tea tasted good to of course, a special mix from Skellefteå.


I have also finished february months mittens Augusta at the "Puls club 2010" at StickaMera to. They was easy to do and fun because they where fast knitted and not to complicated at all. Did not keep them for myself, one of my sisters got them. Hope she will use them!


Hmmm what to knitt now, hmm well is waiting for another yarn "ball" to the darkblue scarf I´m doing, hopefully that will come monday or tuesday. And I have the slippers to do also :-) :-) and some other stuff. I´m not out of knitting work at all :-) :-).

Ooh I have also notified med too StickaMeras "Sockgarnsbyte"(sock yarn swap). That will be exciting to see what will be in that package. I have never knitted a pair of socks before, well if you not count the slippers that I have just startded on :-). And it is always fun to get packages to :-). I have got a "friend" to send to and hopfully I will sort that out this coming week so I can send it to her.


To my friend, you know who you are!

take care all of you
