Pattern: Look a like lua
Yarn: My handspun Renewal
Needles: 4 mm
Modifications: I added about 30 more stitches so it woul fit with the needlesize and yarn I wanted to use. I also added a thread of elastic in the ribbing because the yarn was not as “Bouncy” as other commercial yarns.
Today I finally got my new glasses. I havent had new glasses for 7 years (the frame that is, because I have changed the glasses them self). I usally wear contacts, but every now and then I like to use glasses so my eyes get some rest from wearing contacts all the time.
These are my old ones
And these are my new ones, they are green but it dont come across very well in this pic.
Big difference right? I have always had glasses with a thin frame, and never ones that “stood” out like the ones I got today. I am so pleased with my new glasses!!!
206,5 yards of Sportweight (Spælsau).
A few days ago I was in a antique store looking for some old things that would be suitable for “memorywork” with the elderly at the nursinghome where I work, while looking around I found a nostepinne, the price was nothing… about 20 NOK (a little over 3 $).
I am also done with my january batt from HK Angora. I call it “En glad laks”, in English it would be something like “A happy salmon”.
172 yards of Aranweight (50% polwarth, 15% tussah and 35% merino)

Things are just flying off my needles these days! I finhed my Kauni Feather and fan shawl and I love love love it!!!
pattern: Feather and Fan comfort shawl
Yarn: Kauni
Needles: 4 mm
I finshed my Baktus scarf, it was a really booooring knit. The only thing that got me through it was working with the loveley Imagination sock yarn and seeing how it worked up. I am so in love with this yarn! The yarn pooled in two places and I think it was so cool because it remined me of the feathers of a Peacock.
Pattern: Baktus
Yarn: Imagination sockyarn in the colorway “seven dwarves”
Needles: 4 mm
My mom was in Norways bigges yarnshop a few days ago…and called to see if there was anything I wanted… Stipid question…of course I want yarn!

Evilla melange
A couple of weeks ago I was at a college giving some freshmen a lecture on daily activities for elderly living in nursinghomes. Not a big deal, I only spoke to about 25 students for an hour…but I am not a big crowd-talker and I blush, stutter and talk way to fast every time I do something like this. As a thank you I got this gift (scented candles) from the class because as they said; I spread light to the elderly where I work and because I am always thinking of ways to stimulate their senses.
And here is a couple of winterpics taken at my FILs cabin of the Rhododendron in the cabingarden.
Just a couple of food pics, these chicken wings glased with a honey bbq sauce screamed “Take our picture!”
