Still stash busting

As I mentioned in a previous post I´m stashbusting. Im going to have a stall in a local market on friday the 19th. And therefore I´ve been knitting things I wouldn´t othewise have knitted.
I have 2 boys, no girls do I havn´t knitted so much girlystuff:)
But now i have knittet after a free pattern:
Hine is a girl. By. Kelly Brooker.



I made those pink buttons . They are lampworked out of  italian glass.
Hine  is a wonderful pattern and really easy.


Since I liked the pattern so much I made two of them :P
And who knowes, mayby there will be more of them with  some small modifications.

Two years!!



Today I'm celebrating a special day for my self.

It has now been 2 years since I stopped smoking. I was quite the smoker, and didn't even wan't to know how many cigarettes I was smoking a day. But  I promise you , the number is high.

Now I think that it is strange that I smoked, and I think it's strange that I think it strange. (Are you dizzy now?) c",)

When I stopped smoking I knew I had to keep my hands busy. I've always been activ, never keeping still.
And then I started knitting, a much better and wholesome hobby. I will not bore you with all my knitting escapades , because they have been many.
The UFO's have not been many, lot of FO's and now I've startet crocheing a ripple blancet:P
As others yarn-obsessive-compulcive-stashers I've accumulated  a little bit. But nothing stash -worthy, except my Arwetta sock yarn.

So I have been un-stashing:
My son and his friend are posing here for me:)

The pattern is: Fish Hat (Dead or Alive) Ravelry link
Yarn: Trysil sportsgarn 100% wool
Needle: 4mm round.

Well isn't this a good way to turn ones live in a better direction. I am at least happy about it. I'm not going back to old ways.
