Plain and simple and a little bit of Paulie

I am a member of an online forum namend Ravelry. It is a forum for knitters and crocheers(sp?).
In that forums you can buy and get free patterns and get in contact with other knittomaniacs:)
I knittet this short sleeved pullover last week and finally got it sewed together and washed.
The pattern is Plain and simple by Veera Välimäki
It is a simple pattern with a little bit of sewing at the end.

I knitted mine in Silja yarn from Gjestal. The color is ochre yellow,  a color I like a lot.

The buttons are my own. They are lampworked out of moretti glass. I have now washed the garment with the buttons and tumbled them and they survived it all :)

But a girl has got to have something to do. So now I have cast on Paulie by Isabell Kreamer.

It is a beautiful pattern and thanks to both Veera and Isabell for making these patterns and shearing them for free.

Why?

A terrible thing happened in Norway yesterday. A person bomed downtown Oslo and killed 7 people. After that he went out to an island where 600 young people were in sommercamp and he shot and killed at least 84 kids.

What kind of person does a thing like this? Has he lost his humanity? It is un-human thing to do. How can a person kill another and calmly go on to next person and kill more?

My heart bleeds for all involved. This is so unbeliveable, has this really happened?
We all watch the tv  for the newest updates, hoping that they have catched all involved, hoping to get some answers. But no answers will justify killing of som many.

Light a candle for all who have lost a loved one and all who were involved, and let your loveones feel your love.
