Unlucky


Tuesday I was on my way to pick up my son from afterschool-care. Don't ask me how it happened, but I tripped and fell.

So now I am at home with torn tendents and broken fingers.
Long live lazyness, next time remember to lift my feet a little bit higher.

Finally I had made something jewellery related. These earrings ar made with freshwater pearl ,that I got in a secret friend gift some time ago, and
swarovski golden shadow crystal. All metal is sterling.
These earrings are made with beads i got from my mentor ,so to speak, she is always helpful and sheres her wisdom with us humble pesents:)
Go and check her site: Trollsmed/Lisa NilsenShe is a silver-smith/ceramic artist/lampworker and makes the most beautiful things.
The earhoocks are sergical steel and other metal is copper.



Now this is todays picture. Now my sons are off to school.
I'm going to take it easy, knit a little bit (because that is the only craft I can do), and enjoy today.
At first I am on sick leave for one week and I hope this won't take forever.

Are 5-6 weeks a long time????

Enjoy the lovely fall day:)

Finally an update from me.


It was about time to update here. I've been quite busy lately with a new job, school starting for my boys and real life.
In between I've taken a few moments for my self and relaxing with my knitting.
This is my favorite jacket knitted in Sterk, alpackablend. It's really a sock yarn but it is oh, so soft and the jacket is so good to wear. And i really like the colors together.
This shawl is knittet early this sommer and I forgot all about it. I can't even remember the name of the yarn.
But the pattern is travelling woman by Liz Abinante.

It was an easy knit and I think I maybe will knit this again sometime.









These socks are all knittet on my sommervacation . The yarn is all leftovers from my colorfull jacket. The sizes are ca 30-34 in eouropeean sizes.






Also some leftover knitting.
Fingerless mittens by Jessica Jensen
in Sterk.


A jacket (allmost) for my son in doble plötulopi. The pattern is a free pattern only available in Icelandic.

This sweater is also knittet for my son in one ply plötulopi.
It seems like I'm getting ready for the coldest winter ever, but the fact is that my boy is probably not going to wear any of this. But a mother can hope...........c",)
Now I'm knitting a dress for my self. And the progress is good. But now I'm waiting for my hubby and oldest son to get home from church. And then we are going canooing .:)
