Hi all!

Been a while since I wrote anything, as usual the inspiration has not been there at all! Something else take a lot of my strenght and mind (see earlier post´s).

Some fun though :-). StickaMera started another "Sock yarn swap" that I´m in. I have already got my package with yarn from my sock yarn friend Åsa in Finspång. Don´t have any e-mail or blog adress to her so I say Thank you from here to you Åsa. I got some really nice and soft Raggi Fantasi in lovely colours. It was also some nice chocolate in, wich is now gone (did disapear quick). And a face mask (mudpack) that I have not tried yet but will do in some days. In nearest week I will put together the package I shall send away to a friend, so hold out it will come :-). I´m a bit picky whith what I shall send away, what yarn I will choose to send.

I got this lovely yarn with nice colour.

Im also soon totaly finished with my top "Gypsy", Plassad pattern. I´m doing the top in a lime green yarn from Garnverket, organic cotton yarn. Has just the assembly left, wich has been proved to be a bit dodgy! On the picture I´m a bit more than halfway, at the same time I´m in the popular Online knitting café on Facebook that Lisa has started up. Very good and nice initiative and popular it is!
Actually it is one going on right now :-), I just took a brake from it to write this in the blog.

End with these words:

On your journey to your dream,
be ready to face oasis and deserts.
In both cases, don´t stop.

take care, be nice

A bit news, new mobile!

Hi all!
Has been a while since I wrote anything. The truth is that I have not been inspired at all to do so, some days are like that and some days I get an idea but when I then sit down and shall write then it´s gone! And with all that waiting on that something shall happen with the Union/Lo-TCO court help, sigh. Yea that take´s on you and no inspiration is there. But soon, soon it will be something!

Some new things has happened though! I finally decided me to get a new mobile phone after all looking on the internet for months. In the end I decided me for a Nokia E71, I really like that keyboard that they have on the E63(does not excist here in Sweden), E71, E72 and some new models. I hate when there is a thing you shall pull out or fold up/fold down, that is just a extra thing to tangle up in and destroy I think. My new one will be excellent in time, when I have learned me all things on it, wich will take some time :-). I´m right now just waiting on that the numer shall be transfered and ready to use, I want to have my old number you see. Look the picture, nice isen´t it? :-), it is has a silver colour.

Knitting front then? Well I let the socks "hibernate" it was a bit boring to do them. Im not a "sock" person I think. In my lack of inspiration I needed something quick to knit. I found out on internet that there was quite a lot of people that knitted dishcloths!!! Weird I thought but after some thinking I realise that it works to have knitted dishcloths. So that was a excellent thing for me to knit. It goes fast, no need of a special pattern, unless you want of course. So fast look what i had in my yarn collection, not much but I started with one at least. I have now bought some more cotton, cotton/bamboo yarn and is on my way to do moore cloths. Actually I´m on my third now, no need of thinking is necessary at all :-). At the same time when I bought some cloth yarn I also bought yarn to a "Teardrop" shawl, it became a "flax" yarn in a deep moss green colour, a bit shifting in the colour. And some pearls to it to, will se if I actually use the pearls or not, bu tit is nice with it. I bought the flax yarn in a store in Örebro but it is from Ullcentrum at Öland. Ohh I have also got my own yarn winder now, finally after so many years :-).

End for this time with this, something I really like and once send to "my" angel:

take care of your friends
