How many hours......

of day light do I need?

Alot more than 18. Before I know it its night and time for bed. I need more hours!!

Fighthing the hours of daylight

Among preparing for next school yearI am knitting at three projects. The re-mix version of Mini is the one I want to knit.

Shetland was with me to Norway during the week-end , but did I knit? Nope!! Busy doing other stuff and the babydress Clara is aaaaaaalmooooost there- "just" the top left.

And yet other projects wants my attention. Those in my mind, those I want to knit ( maybe) or the yarn I want to knit with ( rather) and thumbling around for a suitable project for that perticular yarn.

I guess I finish the dress first and then while finishing it , I´ll think of what to bring as my vacation knit.

Knowing my self I´ll bring at least one sock project :-)

Was thinking of a shawl ( again) in a carcoalgreay loopi ( in a very fine lace weight)- after all:

after summer there is fall and what would be more perfect to warm up with a new shawl?

Melody Grand Prix

A European song contest once a year.

This year Norway won with Alexander Rybak.

I bought the cd and it turns out to have more quality over it than I expected.

Several great( and mature.... if I can use that word) songs from a very young artist ( I believe only 23)

He both composed the music and wrote the lyrics to the winner song and this cd , with the same name, Fairytale.

Gavstrik came in mail before week-end and gave me something to read while flying north.

I am speculating in not being a member next year.

Been a member since 2004- but the last 3 years I had not attended any meetings. And the magazine is 4 times a year, but rather skinny on what I need to my knitty brain.

More a historic magazine and what´s happening in Scandinavia knitwise.

Family photos

Some of you may remember I took my kids to a fotographer in Copenhagen ( FAME)

and had a great time taking pic. of us all.

I finally got my self around to pick up the pic. Since I don´t pass Copenhagen accoationally I had to make the trip in to the city.

I was on my way anyway to the airport last friday and a 1 hr. earlier train would make time enough to pick up the pic.

PS: it rained cats and dogs that day. No busses, no cabs- only my legs and a 20 min. walk back and forth from Copenhagen trainstation to Fame. It was WET. I have never seen so meny wrecked umbrellas in every dustbin all the way down STRØGET.

Now comes the big job selecting a few for my parents birthday present.

I am very pleased with them.

We ( me and D) decided to pick some in black/white and some color.

I always fancied B/W.

I´ll have to make a choise to night. time is running out.

Next Friday is last day at school and I´ll be going away for some weeks .
