Got some new things.

Just a short report, then to bed!

For once I actually have won something, it´s not often I do win so this made me glad. I participated in Torgstenens "Spring time draw" for some nice tops. It is a whole package with pattern, yarn, stiches and a crochet hook. I also got to choose colour on the yarn, se my picture below what colour I chose.

I have also got two packages from two swaps with StickaMera. 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 Ullcentrum 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 :-).

Ends tonight with my words:

she was taught to be quiet,
to emptiness deep inside . . .

take care and be nice to each other

A package + feelings

Hi all
Today has been up and down, upset and grrrr day = many thought´s and feelings. 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 (see basic post from 2009-12-20 + here and there). 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!

One good thing today that made it better was that I got a package in the mailbox (the snail mail) :-). It was from the dischcloth swap that StickaMera arranged. And I got my cloth today from "Urmodern" 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 :-).

I´m also in my first knit-along, with Rachel´s Mystery Dishcloth knit along. But more on that + picture will come another day when I feel for writing a bit more.

take cara, say nice things to each other, be true to each other!

Hi all
I have recently started to knit discloths, sounds weird isen´t it :-) ? 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!Yesterday evening, hmm probably night :-) I joined StickaMeras dishcloth swap. Sounds weird? Well you knit a cloth send it to someone, get a cloth back from someone else. It is fun and you can if you want put in small things in the package too, maybe some candy or other fun.

have a nice day all, say some nice words to each other!

Hi all
Well today I sent a package, a package to my swap friend in StickaMeras "Yarn & Tea" swap 5-2010. Hopefully she will get it tomorrow or some of the nearest days. And now I´m waiting for my turn to get a package in the box, a bit exciting is it :-) :-).

Right now i´m knitting on the darkblue scarf (not much left to do). I had kind of promised myself just to have one thing to knitt on, hmmfrr. I could not keep that promise to myself :-(. So I´m also knitting on february months (StickaMera) mittens "Augusta", well I have only started and is halfway on the first one.

The "rest" then, the mess. Hmm still the same but hopefully it will be sorted in the nearest future. It´s getting a bit much now (se older post).

take care and be friendly to your friends, a word here and there is worth a lot!
