A trip to the thrift store.

I was in my neighbourtown today to shop for food. (Payday, you know)
And I had decided to go to the secondhand/salvationarmy/thrift store. I love that store. I always find something.
I was hoping to find an old knitting book or something craft-realated. The only thing I found were books about pressing flowers, and that my dear, is not my cup of tea.
However, taking a rapid look at the shelves with fabric: Bling, ding, ding..... Lookie here, what is this????

I saw somehing yellow, something familiar from my childhood. Yes. Yes, it is............ A duvetcover in lovely '70 yellow hues. I had to have it. And there were 2, a set! So now my washing mashine is washing my lovely new bedlinens :)
I'm so at peace.............................. And that was not all..... Oh, no. I found my self a new/old alarmclock!!!!!!!

Itsn't awesome???!?

Its fire-engine red and has glow int the dark numers and pointers. And best of all it has no batterys. I'll have to wind it up every knitht.

Oh, this is like being back at my grandparents farm.

Just imagine laying down at night and hearing the sounds of the clock, like a lulleby, singing me to sleep.................................

Aqua,teal, beautiful colors.

Can there ever be enough of aqua/teal color in the world? I wonder????
In my humble opinion, NO.
On monday I'll start working in a kindergarten. The children I will work with are in the age 3-5. I am so looking forward to this. I really needed to try something else for a while.
This west is partly my pattern and partly this: Vormorgun by Védís Jónsdóttir. It's knittet in one ply platelopi and on 3,5 needles.


It is not fittet in any way at the waist. I'm not a "thight" person in any way and I like my clothes to be a little ( or quite more than little would some say) loose. This west will, I think be a perfect garment to use at work whwn it gets colder.



Another aqua/teal thing from me. This is a button made by me. It is made out of italian glass, from Moretti. My beads have gone through a wool washing cykle and survived, so I think this one vill do to.

This is one of my owls. It's quite small, about 1,5 cm tall. Its a little beauty, in my opinion, hehe, that is what we all think about our "babies".

Take a look at this blog. She is a skilled knitter. And she has a themecolor now and then.
