Mix

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

Hmmm not much

Hi

Well have not much to say today.
But here comes the picture that I promised should come. It is the picture on the yarn from the "Sockgarnsbyte" (sock yarn swap) I was in. Thanks to Maria S (see blog. "Jula och Mina" to the left) for it, it will be something of it :-). I will do the sock pattern that was with the package in the green yarn, yes it is green, kind of mint green. The camera grrr did change the colour on that yarn, the other is ok.


Will today end with this:

"Kind hearts are the gardens, Kind thoughts are the roots,
kind words are the flowers, Kind deeds are the fruits,
Take care of your garden And keep out the weeds,
Fill it with sunshine kind words and kind deeds"
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Small things = happy

Hi all

Hmm think that small things and small packages, small events and words can make you happy. It kind off "makes your day" :-).

I just had that, I got a small package with a lovely smell :-). It was my first "bag" with green tea in a tea subscription from Tefrossa. Yea you can have that! It has the name "Skärgårds natt" in swedish wich translated to english will be "Achipelago night". Nice name isen´t it?. So that tea will I enjoy this evening and think of the archipelago, water (= freedom) and summer.

And I also got my package from StickaMeras "Sockgarns byte" (sock yarn swap) yesterday. Oooh it was some nice yarn in it :-). I will get a picture on that in the nearest days or so.

Make your friends happy with small things, a word or just support in some way!

Have a nice day
Mari

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!

Also thanks to Camilla for coming with your digital camera so I could fix this pictures.
take care all of you
