Lazy Friday evening

I like Friday evenings, and as you can see here, Stella, our Maine Coon too....

while it seems like everybody else in Stavanger are rushing on to 

get on the road to beat the traffic to get to wherever they are

going  for their winter break

we are enjoying a relaxing evening  with some delicious sushi,

prepared by the sushi chef of the house, mmmmm

I have finished a simple sweater for our little prince

the pattern is free here, I used leftover wool from my 

stash, "Kauni" and "Nøstebarn"

His sister has got a new headband, pattern here,

also knitted in some leftover wool, I think this was used

in a babyjacket...

Have a wonderful, lazy weekend and

 thanks again for stopping by!

WHITE FRIDAY!

What an exciting Friday morning, we woke up to winter wonderland!

It keeps on snowing,  all day...

It is a long time since we had seen this much snow...

I had a lovely walk to downtown Stavanger, 

the snow makes everything 

nice and quiet.

Looking out the window, and it is still snowing.

We will enjoy a white weekend, hope you will 

have a nice one too..

Thanks to everyone who stops by.

 I am so excited about all the comments and new followers 

already this year, thanks alot!

AND ANOTHER ONE FOR THE PRINCESS

January has gone in a rush, but it has been a productive

month and I have finished a few of my project.

Here is another jacket, just finished with  help 

from a friend that needed something to do on

 her flight back to Houston

The jacket has traveled to Houston and back and now it 

is finished and ready for buttons

I think these Moda buttons will be perfect. 

The pattern for the jacket is in "Mix barn" from 

"Sandnes garn", and I used wool called "Lima" 

from "Drops" a wonderful wool/alpaca blend

Done! 

A sweater for my prince is now on my needles...

Thanks for visiting and have a creative week!

A CARDIGAN FOR MYSELF...

Another old project is done, this one I started years ago

It is knitted in two different colors of a "Kauni" effect yarn, 100% wool.

 The wool felt a bit scratchy when I knitted it, 

but after a soak in the special wash "Soak" 

it is nice and soft and smells wonderful. 

Here it is with buttons on, found in my mom's old box.

You can find the pattern here

In need of something easy to knit after I  finished the cardigan this weekend,

 I knitted these two hats  from wool found in my drawer. 

A skein merino wool and some leftover

 "Noro silk garden". 

It is blooming in my window and spring colors on my table

but it is cold and a little bit of snow and ice outside.

Enjoy your week!

JACKET IS DONE..

First project finished in 2012.... 

One of my goals of the year is to use wool

 from my hugh stash,

and this jacket is knitted with  double thread "Bånsull garn"

"Merino-lammeull"

I used mother-of-pearl buttons from my

moms pile of buttons.

You can find more info. about the 

pattern in my last blog entry.

Happy New Year and thanks for stopping by!

This is on my needles now...... 

started years ago..

HAVE A NICE WEEKEND!

IT IS SNOWING!

Yesterday evening, it started to snow!

Two excited little hurried out to make a snowman

It kept on snowing...

and soon a big snowman was up in our backyard

Two cold little ones came in the door

and I had made some Christmas bread,

after reading this blog, it was yummy

I am still knitting on my new project,

next time you stop by, I will tell you what it is!

I got some very sad news this morning,

a dear friend in Houston past away 

yesterday, she had been fighting 

breast cancer.... .

She will be missed dearly by her 

husband and two sons and her friends

all over the world...

CHRISTMAS HOUSE

WELCOME

 to a little sneak peak inside our Christmas house!

In the kitchen is the Christmas book out

and the  hyacinths are blooming in the windows, 

I need to get some more, these will not last long...

The chandelier is decorated with red ribbons

Birds, ribbons and santa's 

are now filling up the house

We always find time for our Sunday walk, 

in beautiful, cool weather

And a new project is on my needles. 

I will be back soon!
