Skapande

I wrote about a shawl that I had started to knit. I haven’t finished that get, because I started on a new one after I found a yarn I just loved when I was shopping one day. I have finished that one now and it turned out like this. Unfortunately I happen to throw away the label of the yarn before I started to write this and my memory is really bad so I don’t remember the brand. But it’s some kind of silky wool….

At first I had some problems reading the pattern, it is in English and I have sometimes problems to understand knitting patterns in Swedish. (When I made a sweater like this I had to phone my mother a thousand times and ask how to knit because I forgotten what she said all the time.) And I also first found a pattern that was incomplete which made me confused. After I found a complete pattern it was easier to make the shawl and I am satisfied whit the result. Now I only have to start use it to.

Now remains to finish the first shawl I started on and after that I’m thinking of knit another shawl that I found a pattern to. Yes, I tend to take a liking to things when I start….

Hanna has earlier today written about a really great show we went to yesterday, Kalle & Laleh – vem har lurat barnen? (Who has deceived the children?) Laleh is a Swedish musician who is really talented and Kalle who I never had heard of earlier is Swedish master in poetry slam. They combined poetry and music in the show. And I can only agree with Hanna, I love them! It was so great and I’m still happy. They felt as a unit and not as two artists doing individual things on the same stage, which could be a risk in a show like theirs.

There where many contemplative things they touched, but there were always love and remembrances of childhood, a childhood that could have been my, yours or just anyone.

Oh, so great! And I took some pictures to.

If you live in Sweden and the show reaches your town, you most go and see them.

It has been a really great weekend here when it comes to the weather, sunny not so cold and a lot of light. So I took my car and went home to my parents and the house near the ocean. I really love the ocean, especially when the water is opened contrary to now when it’s frozen. But I like it a lot then too. To be seated on a rock and watch out in the infinite it’s the greatest. (ok, I know that after infinite comes Finland)

Took the camera and went for a walk, of course I had forgotten to charge the battery so after half the way my camera died…

Also take a look at Hannas really great winter pictures.

The last five cards I received. But I am still waiting for the last one…

Received it from Robyn in USA

Received it from Karyn in Australia

Received it from Sarah in USA

Received it from Moki in USA

Received it from Candie in China

I realized that I couldn’t live without curtains in my windows though I really gave it a try. But no, I’m not that type of person. If there now is a type “living without curtain person”. Anyhow I made it easy and only did a pelmet, didn’t become so expensive either.

Yes, it is night and bad light, and day and to much light, I know. Better then nothing.

I will soon show the last New Years cards that I have received. But I haven’t been able to take photos of them get.

But for the moment the knitting devil has his grip on me because I found a really great shawl when I was surfing the net on day. So for the moment I can’t think of anything else.

Here is a picture of the shawl that inspired me.

This is the card that I have sent out in the new years swap that Myra organize. It was really fun to make them when I had figure out how to include the dog. But after figure that out it went well.

I used following:

Wallpaper, grey and green
Dymo for the Gott nytt år text
Pink paper with flowers on
My printer for printing the dog
Glue and a white pencil

But most fun was of course to receive cards. To find a card in the mail is fun fun fun!! Have to do this again sometime.
