A little joy

Hi all!
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!
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)!

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!
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.

The basket full off yarn.

Again some nice music to listen to and I got this link from a friend some time ago. Click the picture as usual to listen and see the video.

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!?

Fun + hmmmm

Hi all

Well yesterday (wensday 28 april) it was fun :-). 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!!!
And finally I meet again EmmaE 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 :-). Big thanks Emma!

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. That will make it grrrrrrr to bike for a couple of days. 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. She is cute isen´t she?by by for now

Both nice and blahäää

Hi

On wensday this week (21 of april) I took me the time and went in to Örebro and the knitting café at Märtas cafe, the knit café was in co-operation with "Bilda". I felt I needed to get away from all a bit even if it was for just a couple of hours! It was really nice to meet some new knitting friends, they where really friendly and welcome me nicely :-). Most of them was also in the newly formed club Närkes Handaverk. In time I maybe join them and even go on some of their other activities.
Finally I can continue with my shawl "Gail", I got some good help :-) and now I don´t understand what wrong I did before!!! I will defenitely go in again at this knit café it was pleasant and the place in it´s self was really nice and I can recommend all to "go off" there regular coffea streets and go to this place instead. Took a few picture with my new mobile phone, they are not that super good but you can see a bit on what was going on and the cosy café.

Some knitting friends and a small view at the cosy café.


A bit of the table wit a mix of "goodies" :-) and my brown mottled yarn ball.

The rest of week have been up and down as usual! Today it started so nice with sun then it was just blahäää with grey weather and rain/snow/hail, that is not so fun for the soul when it have the "bad" days and missing all the good stuff that has been. I´m quite feed up with the weather right now and need to get away for a bit longer time. Hope that can be soon, really soon!

take care all

Knitting cafe

Hi allThis evening was nice indeed!
I took the decision to bike in to the library in Nora and go to the knitting cafe thy arrange there between 17-00-20.00 pm. It was really nice to meet some other knitting people and see what they was knitting on. Some people involved pearls in their mittens, I have never tried that but might do that one day. It do get really nice but looks a bit complicated :-).

I had my mint green socks with me that I knit some on, had my shawl pattern and yarn with me to but no one could understand that english pattern :-(. Sorry to hear Emma that you could not come in, would have been nice to meet you again but understand that your daughter was tired. Hope you can come next time or we can meet up in some way :-) :-).

We actually sat in the exhibition hall! So i did took the opportunity to look at the ongoing photo exhibition with Eddy van Wessel (documentary photographer), who actually is from Nora. It was seriosly and emotonaly pictures and I cant quite describe them, you got to see them!

take care of each other,
be nice and say something nice that makes the day!
