Mini "Cobblestone" til prinsen!

Igjen er jeg blitt påvirket av en av de blogger jeg så
trofast følger

og her er prinsen i "Cobblestone" mini 
utgaven

strikket i "Elsebeth Lavold`s" Silky Wool,

et herlig garn som jeg hadde et par nøster av liggende,
etter å ha strikket en topp til meg selv

men, det var ikke nok garn så jeg endte opp
med å rekke opp toppen og strikket denne 
ferdig! 

Herlig vær hos oss i Stavanger nå, og en spennende uke 
med masse besøkende til byen!

Her er min nyeste dørpynt som jeg bare måtte ha!

Dette er min første blogg fra Mac'en, det går seint, da 
her er mye nytt å sette seg inn i!
Litt tid har jeg nå hatt på syrommet også, som du 
kan se har det blitt en enkel løper til å matche 
blå og hvite kopper!

Ha en fantastisk uke!

KNITTING IN COLORADO

 On our trip I brought with me the wool I was telling about here

and this is the finished "Oz" from "Heirloom Stitches"

all the pink/purple wool was used and I finished it off 
with the green

and here is the princess who will wear it this fall and winter!

I still had alot of green left and it was enough for this 
"Luxe Cowl" I found on Ravelry here

and, I told you it was endless, even for another cowl,

a long version of the Good Luck Cowl by
 Christianne Gerstner, also found on Ravelry.
That was finally the end of the endless wool...
but, as you can see in my basket, I got some new
wool on my trip...

This is from the rockies on the way back to Denver,
we drove the scenic drive I-70

Here is my newest gadget, a Mac!
 It is very different from what I am used with, so instead of trying 
to figure it out, it is easier to grab the needles on my 
newest project....

Well, hopefully within a week I am blogging from my Mac! 

HAVE A NICE WEEK AND THANKS AGAIN FOR 
STOPPING BY!

Visiting COLORADO this time....

Thanks for stopping by! 
I know, I have neglected my blog for a long time, but we 
have been back to the USA for some weeks, visiting Colorado.
This is from Denver Botanic Gardens, a beautiful place 

They had a interesting exhibit by artist Stephen Talasnik

We spent a day at the Aquarium, before we headed
on to the mountains to get to Vail

This was not our rental car, but it was so cool, we
found it at the airport...

We stopped and spent time in some of the small towns
along Interstate 70, in Georgetown I found this store,
had to buy some fabric and wool...

This is from Breckenridge, where we spent a few days,
alot of fun to do both for adults and children

The Norwegian flag in the park and "Sons of Norway"

Here it is the little prince, jumping high...

We spent some time in Silverthorne, Copper Mountain
and Frisco too, before we ended up in Vail

We spent a lazy week here
We have been to Colorado several times before,
but this was first time in the summer, 
and it is beautiful....

We took the scenic drive I-70 back to Denver, 
what a view! 

I will  be back soon, have to show you 
my knitting from the trip! 

Have a nice week!
