GOD JUL :)
Da er juletreet ferdig pyntet og nissene har dukket frem både her og der... Nå skal jeg bare kose meg resten av kvelden og i morra tidlig... Ah, deilig med ferie... Savner snø, men julestemningen er på vei :) I morgen tidlig kommer jeg til å pakke opp gavene fra min hemmelige venn og fra 4seasons-klubben. Måtte finne på noe å strikke i kveld mens vi så på tv så nå har jeg begynt på en garnstudiohals i sandnes alpakka, deilig og mykt!
GOD JUL ALLE SAMMEN!
We've finnished decorating to christmas :)
MERRY CHRISTMAS

Pre- & Post- felting :)
After felting the slippers are just 2-3cm too big for me, and I hope they'll fit the girl they're intended for :)
(Matchbox for sizecomparison)
Stats (in norwegian):
Strikket i villmark, safir og raggegarn, pinne 6, dobbelt garn (tredobelt med en tråd raggegarn i sålen). La opp 70 masker, strikket "passelig langt", felte til 46 masker, strikket "passelig langt", runda av til tå (glemt hvordan allerede) og trakk en tråd gjennom alle maskene til slutt. Valgte å sy sammen med den mørke fargen, derfor en kontrastsøm midt på foten... Håper mottaker syns det er kult. Begge tøffelparene + vottene skal få en omgang med pufliner men jeg rekker det ikke før jeg har kommet meg hjem på ferie.
Christmaspresents finnished!!!!
---------------------------------------
I just finnished the last christmaspresents. It's now passed 1am and I just finnished the last pair of slippers. Pictures pre\post felting will be posted sometime during the weekend. (Last exam this semester is monday)

2.søndag i advent :)
to lys for håp og glede.
De står og skinner for seg selv
og oss som er tilstede.
Så tenner vi to lys i kveld,
to lys for håp og glede.
Så fort tida går! Nå skal jeg levere siste semesteroppgave, og så er det bare en prøve igjen før jeg har juleferie! :)
-----------------------------------------------
Second Advent-sunday today, just about to turn in my last paper this semester and then I only have one exam left before the christmas holidays!
09 desember, 2006
2 down, 1 to go :)
GOD HELG :)
-----------------------------------------------
Ah, lovely, today I've only been sleeping, didn't wake up until noon :) Two exams in one day is hard, but now I have more than a week to read for my next one. This weekend I'm just going to relax and knit, and get a few gifts in the mail ;) Pictures of the last pair of felted slippers will show up when I finnish knitting them.
I wish you all a nice weekend

Jula nærmer seg / Christmas is approaching
Ellers har jeg tovet litt i dag, men det kan jeg ikke vise frem her, skal kanskje på tur ut i det store blogland hvis jeg blir fornøyd med resultatene! Strikker på siste parret med tøfler innimellom lesinga, har 5cm nå, bare å strikke på!
Kryss fingrene for meg i morra!
Jeg har to "eksamener", gruer meg til å ha to rett etterhverandre!
------------------------------------
I'll be going home for christmas soon, just have to get passed a few exams first. I prefer to use the word "exam" even though the institute insists it's only a "internal test", then they can have two in one day! That's what I'm doing tomorrow, two exams in one day! Keep your fingers crossed!
I've felted something I've knit today, but since it will probably end up somewhere in blogland I can't post pictures here today!

Tøfler etter toving / Slippers post felting
Da er tøflene ferdige og tørre :) Bare strikke et par til nå, så skal jeg finne noe antiskli til å ha under før jeg pakker de inn. Er så glad alt garnet tova, var en lang periode bekymra for at det hvite KUNNE være superwash som hadde havna i tovbart-hylla! Det føltes så anderledes. Jeg håper tøflene passer til lille prinsesse "bigfoot" til jul, hun var oppe i samme skostørrelse som meg i sommer (er 7år!!!!), de passet meg (litt store til og med) etter toving så da krysser jeg fingrene!
-----------------------------------------
Here are the slippers post felting, just one more pair to knit now and then find something rubbery to have on the soles so the little princesses can't hurt themselves falling down the stairs. These are for little 7year old princess "bigfoot", she used the same shoesize as me this summer already! Hope they'll fit!

1.søndag i advent
Så tenner vi et lys i kveld,
vi tenner det for glede,
det står og skinner for seg selv,
og oss som er til stede.
Og ved siden av adventsstaken står denne søte lille nissen med telys
Dagens middag :) Er lenge siden jeg har laga grøt nå...
Og så er jeg FERDIG med noe *fnise* Disse går i vaskemaskinen nå, kommer forhåpentligvis ut i en størrelse 38... Har strikket inn raggegarn i hæl, såle og tå, så håper vi at disse varer litt lenger enn andre par!
I've finnished a pair of slippers ready to be felted, and since it's the first sunday of Advent today I'm showing my very simple Advens-candles.

What Tarot Card Are You?
You are The Tower
Ambition, fighting, war, courage. Destruction, danger, fall, ruin.
The Tower represents war, destruction, but also spiritual renewal. Plans are disrupted. Your views and ideas will change as a result.
The Tower is a card about war, a war between the structures of lies and the lightning flash of truth. The Tower stands for "false concepts and institutions that we take for real." You have been shaken up; blinded by a shocking revelation. It sometimes takes that to see a truth that one refuses to see. Or to bring down beliefs that are so well constructed. What's most important to remember is that the tearing down of this structure, however painful, makes room for something new to be built.
What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

Litt mer bursdagsgaver/More birthdaypresents
Dette fikk jeg i forsinka bursdagsgave fra svigerfamilien :) To nøster beige alpakka, to nøster petrol alpakka, et nøste multifarga mohair, to bøker (varme kilder & når rett skal være rett) og et "sacco-brett".
-----------------------------------------------
Birthdaypresents from my boyfriends-family :) Four skeins alpacca, one skein mohair, two knitting books and a board to use for my laptop or other things when I need a table in my lap.

1måned til jul/1month until christmas eve!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
WOW! Time is running away from me! I need to produce christmas presents, write semesterpapers and read for my exams (preferably not in that order...) Pictures when I finnish something, I have several parallell projects at the moment :P
17 november, 2006
Dagens produksjon...
Og når jeg var ferdig med å sy, så laget jeg visst kaffesåpe også... *fnise* Regner med jeg klarer et såpestykke til hver av de voksene familiene jeg gir til + at jeg fikk en liten form med rester som jeg skal ha selv...
-------------------------------------------
What do you do when you're just really tired, don't feel like writing papers and really wants to go to sleep for a few hours (but shouldn't sleep since it would mess up your weekend)? You go and play with the sewingmachine... I've made three different "heating bags", they're filled with porridge-rice (direct translation......) and you heat them in the microwave... And then, then I made soap!

I´m knitting this cute little wrap-around-jacket, it´s knitted in Svale without any pattern :) Had to try to take a picture of something knitted with my new camera!
12 november, 2006
bursdag vel overstått :)
Takk for alle gratulasjoner!
---------------------------------------------
Birthdayweekend over, and I got a new digital camera (among other), a Canon IXUSi, love it! Maybe I can take pictures without having to charge the camera first now, my old one was getting really bad. I also got a lot of things to make it cosy in my flat for christmas.
Thanks for all the happy b-day wishes!

What new techniques would you like to try? surprise me!

Any pattern you would love to make if money and time were no object? .........

Abstinenser!
Det blir nok lite håndarbeid denne helga, er treningshelg :) 4 timer trening i dag!
--------------------------------------------------
I was surprised when I got home last night and saw that Hobbyboden was "closed" this weekend... No advance warning, so I'm having a bit of abstinence when having breakfast this morning.
Still, I don't have time for crafting this weekend, it's a trainingcamp :) 4 hours training today!

TV-aksjonen og bilsammenbrudd
Ellers kom jeg meg bare såvidt hjem fra bøssebæring før bilen brøt sammen *snufs* Håper det ikke er noe dyrt, min far var først redd for at hele motoren hadde brutt sammen, men nå ser det ut til at han er enig med Viking-mannen om at det "bare" er en pakning som er gåen. Jeg kjørte rundt som om jeg ikke kunne kjøre bil, og hadde jeg blitt stoppet i fartskontroll måtte jeg sagt at jeg bare skulle hjem... Jeg MÅTTE akselerer hele tiden, ellers bare hoppa den fremover eller døde for meg! Utrolig plagsomt!
------------------------------
I mainly post in norwegian this time, but I'm writing about me going around in Trondheim collecting money for Doctors Without Borders and all the nice and weird persons I met. Then when I was driving home my car broke down, so now I'm just hoping it won't be to expensive to get it reparied!

Og et detaljbilde av mønsteret på leggen :)
The socks are finnished, I sort of followed this pattern. Knit in "raggegarn" (terrible hard and stiff sockyarn), and I used the magic loop method with 2 socks, so both were finnished at the same time! European size 44.
16 oktober, 2006
Still knitting
This is soooo slow knitting, socks for my fathers birthday, size 44... Still got some knitting to do!
15 oktober, 2006
And ANOTHER FO!!!
And another one, I've outdone myself this weekend. Today I've finnished off this cute little dress, size 0-3months. I think it looks a bit small, so I added a few extra buttonholes on the shoulders. At the picture it's on a towel in the bathroom, since I'm trying to carefully block the edges so they won't "roll" too much, the crochet edge didn't help... Pattern is from Gjesdal (haven't got the original here since I borrowed a pattern from my mum this summer), knit in offwhite and lilac babywool on needles 2,5mm.
14 oktober, 2006
A FO
I've finnished something!!!! A pixiehat and socks in a matching pattern (k2, p2), the socks are knit from the toe up. The hat was finnished almost 14 days ago, and I cast on for the socks tuesday almost 14 days ago. It just takes time to finnish things!
13 oktober, 2006
I believe there are angels among us....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm knitting and crying today, listening to old songs by Alabama... Angels among us seems to be the perfect song for my mood today... I hope they can do something from my grandmother, atleast painrelief, but we won't know for a while yet... But it doesn't look good :(
Jeg strikker og tårene renner, hører på gamle sanger med Alabama, Angels among us er den perfekte sangen for meg i dag... Jeg håper de kan gjøre noe for min kjære bestemor, foreløpig ser det ikke bra ut, men vi får ikke vite så mye riktig enda... :(
09 oktober, 2006

Socks for my father in "raggegarn"
I'm giving magic loop another try with my KSK-pals yarn and pattern!

I also have something almost finnished, just need some time to finnish everything!

Bursdagsgave \ birthdaypresent
I've needle-feltet (?) a broche for my dear grandmother ("mor") who turns 80 on tuesday. The gift is leaving by mail tomorrow morning and it will hopefully reach her on her b-day. She just got diagnosed with cancer and is leaving for treatment this week, I wish her all the best!
Magic Yarnball #2
My ball and some vintage ribbon, before I started knitting :)
I've knitted all the red yarn, now it's only yellow cotton left... Don't quite know what to do with this, so I unwind the ball and figure out later what to knit.
Here's the hat, pre-felting, it's knitted from all the red yarn in the ball togehter with feltable whool yarn.
This is what the ball contained! Loads of lovely buttons, a few beads, a little pair of sisors, some pins and a small box containing sewinggoods... I just love the asian touch, there's a lot of asian inspired buttons and also the box has that sort of pattern... LOVE IT!!!
Here's the hat after felting... Still not dry so I didn't feel like taking my picture with it on, but I have tried it and it fits perfectly!

Remember the KSK-kit I sent?
We have a FO
I've actually FINNISHED something!!!! This is a pair of loooong wristwarmers knit in Rosarios 4 Tricot, love this colorway, reminds me of the colors of fall! I also just got even more yarn in a yarnclub pacage, a lot of babyyarn, which is just perfect since I'm knitting a lot of babystuff for my friends... I have too many projects on the needles at the moments, pictures will come when I finnish something!
4 Seasons Gift Club
I joined the 4 Seasons Gift Club earlier this fall... We get one gift each season, and I just got my fall-gift. My fall-gift came from "tine".
HV-september
This is the september gift from my secret friend at hobbyboden, it arrived a week ago but I haven't had time to update my blog lately. School and training takes most of my spare time!
I just love it! ;) Especeally the little bag, just need to deside what I'll use it for!
Tusen takk min hemmelige venn, det falt så absolutt i smak... Falt helt for den lille veska, må bare finne ut hva jeg skal bruke den til siden jeg har så mange ideer :)
