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

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

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!

Wich one?

Hmm

I want, I want, I want to knit a new shawl!
But wich one? Hard decision isn´t it? :-)
I want to do a Bird´s Eye shawl (have yarn), Gail (aka Nightsongs), Spring Trellis shawl or Haruni kind of have yarn to these also :-).
Pattern is in english except for Bird´s Eye that I have in Swedish. On some of them you shall also crochet a bit, I´m not good at that!

So wich one shall I do, wich one shall I start with?
