BACK FROM VACATION

We have been back to Houston for a couple of weeks of vacation

It was record heat for the time of year the day we arrived

We visited familiar places,

shopping, but it is limited how much summer clothing

you need when you live in Norway...



We had alot of good sushi

Ummm....

Had some wonderful days in Galveston

on the beach

visited some of the beautiful,

historic houses in Galveston

and enjoyed a crawfish boil

I finished the little dress called "Fiona" on my trip

knitted in "Alpaca" from "DSA"

and on my needles now, is another

little dress, "Elvira". This time I am knitting

with the popular "Woolmeise" yarn

the color is "Frosch".....

Enjoy your weekend and thanks for visiting!



WELCOME TO STAVANGER!

A beautiful morning in Stavanger

and I will like to invite you on my morning walk

around my home town

When the weather is nice like today

it is like the old town is waking up

just within a month the harbour will be filled with cruise ships

and the narrow streets of  "old Stavanger"

with it's beautiful old white houses

will be filled with the colours of summer flowers

and hundreds of people visiting  

from all over the world

visit the canning museum

or just take a stroll around

This summer will be filled with activites around the harbour

with the Tall ships race, beach volleyball, food festival

just to have mentioned a few....

VELKOMMEN!

I hope you like my walk this morning,

enjoy and welcome to Stavanger!

FIGGJO turi - design

I started a few years ago to collect these.

I could not decide if I would collect the green serie called "market"

or the blue one, called "Lotte"

So I started to buy a some of each

Both patterns was designed by Turi Gramstad Oliver who

started with Figgjo in 1960

Finally I made up my mind, and the green ones need to leave me...

To make room for more of the "Lotte" design...

Which of the designs did you like the best?

Do you want to trade?



KNITTING FOR MYSELF

Just for myself this time, I have knitted a neck and mitts.

Used a luxurious knitting yarn with a blend of Qiviuk

(a kind of bison) merino wool and silk.

A good friend gave it to me last year,

I used it all, just a tiny little bit left.
Both patterns found on Ravelry.

Beautiful weather this morning, maybe it will last

for the week end

The garden is ready for a little yard work

Baked bread again today

And the little ones are back to school after a week

home with the flu

Have a wonderful week end!
