- Jag blir inte fet av det och får inte hål i tänderna.
- Det är som damm, en utmärkt isolering av huset.
- En ond makt tvingade mej.
- Jag har just köpt nya hyllor.
- Garn är för mej vad färg var för Picasso.
- Jag bygger upp ett garnlager som arv till mina barn.
- Varför inte?

Rosa tunika - pink tunic
My five-year-old wanted a pink dress with flowers, and the result was this tunic. I've used a pattern from a magazine I had, and the pink yarn is Tilda from Svarta Fåret. Nice yarn - a mix of cotton and acrylic. Good to knit with, and it almost seems to be a bit stretchy.

Granddaughter's socks
The pattern has the same name as the headline. The designer learnt knitting from her mother, and crocheting from her grandmother. So she designed these beautiful socks. This is an ufo that's been lying around since last year, and ridiculously enough, it took me a couple of days to finish the second sock. I should be ashamed! I will make more of these.

Sokker på motsatt vis - socks the opposite way
Nowadays it seems to be a trend to knit socks on the smallest possible needles. I'v gone the other way, and have knitted socks on 8mm needles! Like knitting with fencepoles, but cool socks. I've used Bernat Felting Wool, and the pattern comes from Drops.

Hals - Neckwarmer
Neckwarmer in Eskimo from Garnstudio.

Tunika
This tunic is knitted to a 3-year old girl . It's knitted in Trysil Garn Alpa, and the pattern comes from a booklet from Trysil Garn, bought at Europris. I think it's cute. I might knit one more for her 5-year old sister, but she wasn's quite sure she wanted one...

Pels-skjerf - furry scarf
Knitted a simple scarf in Idena Happy.


Det styggeste skjerfet! - The ugliest scarf!
This must be the ugliest thing I ever knitted! I got this yarn in a surprisepacket, and it was dreadful The yarn is called Austermann Fancy Mix, and consists of parts of different effectyarns. It was so horrible, I had to start knitting something with it, so it wouldn't be lying in my stash annoying me. But since we're getting to small girls in our household soon, I'm sure they will find it useful to play with.


Votter med hjortegevir - mittens with deer antlers
I've knitted mittens in Camelyarn - a mix of camelwool and merinowool. Soft yarn, good to knit with. The pattern is a free pattern from the Norwegian company Leine Merino.

Ferdig - omsider! Finished - at last!
I finally got the courage to take up knitting this pullover I started christmas 2006. I knitted it almost finished, but then I got tired of it, and it seemed to be too large. But now it's finished, and it didn't get as big as I thought. Satisfied? Yess! I've used the faroese yarn Sirritogv, also called Vikingatogv.




Elizabeth
The pattern for this hat is called Elizabeth, and comes from Raverly. I haven't knitted it as long as the original, as junior thought it would be too girly that way.

Jeg tok med garnet til denne da jeg dro på kurs til Bodø 25. mars. La opp og begynte å strikke på toget utover, og på togturen hjem 27. mars ble den ferdig.
I brought the yarn for this along when I went to a seminar in Bodø 25th of march. I started knitting on the train going there, and on the train back the 27th it was finished.

One of my students wanted a pair of wristwarmers, and what was more natural than to knit a pair with notes on? They're knitted in Regia and Opal sockyarn, and the pattern comes from Ravelry.

Denne genseren har jeg strikka til ei lita jente i familien som nettopp ble 2 år. Den er strikka etter ei Nøstebarn-oppskrift, men i stedet for originalgarnet har jeg brukt Evilla Plategarn. Eieren ble i alle fall fornøyd.
I've knitted this pullover for a little girl in the family who recently celebrated her 2nd birthday. It's knitted from a Nøstebarn-pattern, but instead of the original yarn, I've used Evilla Preyarn. The owner was certainly happy with it.


Grytkluter - Potholders
I've used leftovers of Pt2 and Evilla. It became these felted potholders.

Hringur
It's the name of this pullover I've knitted in the Icelandic yarn Lite-Lopi. Started in January, but then I had to finish other things, but now it's done. Suits me perfectly.

Flower Basket shawl
I still find it amusing to knit these shawls, I like the pattern. I've knitted 3 before. This is knitted in Kauni EQ. Lovely result, although not so original since lots of knitters have knitted the same pattern with this yarn...




Lue i Järbo Naturgarn - Hat in Järbo Naturgarn
Had one skein left, and knitted a hat for junior.


Ripple scarf
The pattern is called ripple scarf. Bought a knitting kit from England a while ago, and started knitting. But for some reason I didn't finish it until now. Soft and nice, knitted in Artesano Alpaca.



Genser - pullover
This pullover was superfast to knit. The yarn is Tress from Sandnesgarn, and is a chunky, soft mixedyarn.


Votter av hjemmelaga garn - mittens from homemade yarn
Det andre paret er strikka i brun hjemmespunnet alpakka, en liten rest Miski fra Du Store Alpakka, og litt Olivia - håndspunnet alpakka fra BC-garn.

Ullbukse - woolpants
I was asked to knit woolpants for my nephew and niece aged 2 and 4. Here's the pants for the 2-year old. I've used Regia sockyarn, and a pattern from Garnstudio. Knitted a bit longer than the pattern said, so then he can use it a while longer.

Barnegenser - childsweater
Before christmas I was asked to finish a sweater that a friends mother had started for her grandchild. She couldn't finish it herself because of allergy, so I took over this project. I've knitted one and a half arm, and sewn it together. Hope she's satisfied.

Vaskeklut - washcloth
1 skein of Lang Yarns Tissa is excactly enough for a crocheted washcloth.

pulsvarmere - wristwarmers
A friend of mine wanted wristwarmers with short fingers in black alpaca. The result is as follows. They're knitted in double Indiecita from a Naviapattern.

Verdens minste votter - worlds smallest mittens

Ei lue på en kveld - a hat in one evening
I knitted this hat yesterday evening. The pattern is called "The Amanda Hat". I used my single skein of Handpainted Yarn Merino Bulky. It knits up fast, and the hat is lovely. I imagine there will be more of these...

Pokemon
Junior loves Pokemon, and has done so since he was 2. He's 9 now, and the fascination for these creatures is still as big as before. So of course I had to knit him a Pokeball-hat.

Årets første - this year's first
This years first project is something as boring as a pair of new thick socks for my husband. I suspect he eats his socks, as he wears them out surprisingly fast! So I just have to knit new ones...not the most fun work, but these are knitted in Järbo Raggi, which is really good to knit with, so at least it goes fast.

blått - blue
This years last finished objects were Blånissehat and mittens, and a hexagonal sit-upon that I've crocheted from the scrapyarn of these blue projects. Thanks to Hilde who has made the pattern, which you can find on her page: www.knittingplace.blogspot.com




Blånissegenser
Junior wanted a new "Blånisse"jumper as the old one was too small, so I had to knit a new. Finished it yesterday.


Såpe - soap
My grandma who's 90 wanted homemade soap for christmas, so I just had to start making some, and the result is showed below. I made 3,5 kilos of soap in different variations, and of course more people than grandma got some.






Disse ga jeg bort - these I gave away
I gave away these for christmas, in addition to what I've already showed you before:





Mere saltdalsvotter og pannebånd - more Saltdalsmittens and headband
Yesterday I finished another pair of Saltdalmittens. These are knitted in Villmark, and in men's size. I also finished a headband that I found the pattern for at Garnstudio. It was supposed to be knitted in double alpaca, but I used almost one skein of Oda from Trysilgarn instead.


Saltdalsvotter - Saltdalmittens
These mittens are called Saltdal-mittens, I live in a valley called Saltdal. They're designed by a lady in the local craftscouncil, and can be bought from them and at my LYS, Marihøna. These are the first pair I've knitted, but I'm knitting pair number two now. These are a christmaspresent for my cousin, and the oair I'm knitting now is for her husband.

Mere julegaver - more christmas presents
I've knitted more christmas presents. I'm also knitting a sweater for my nephew. I haven't got much left, but I've made some mistakes, and have to rip a few rounds, so it's on hold for now.
Disse sokkene er strikka til niesa mi. Hun skal også få votter og hals i samme garn, men foreløpig er bare sokkene ferdig.
These socks are for my niece. She will also get mittens and neckwarmer in the same yarn, but for now only the socks are finished.

Flora % Moebius
First I knitted a moebius-scarf. Found a free pattern on the webpages of the Danish Hjelholt Uldspinderi. Then I had some yarn left, and used it for the hat Flora. Found the pattern on Ravelry. The hat is beautiful, but quite small. Fits a cute little kindergarten-girl.


Julebroderier - chrismas needlepoint
I like to do needlepoint, but it's not what I do the most, you have to keep an eye on it constantly... can't watch TV at the same time. But these two I've finished recently.


Julegave - christmas present
My sister-in-law told me she wanted knitted garments for their kids for christmas. Suits me perfect, as I've already knitted sweaters for them, but I thought that Santa could give them something small as well. These are knitted from a pattern in the book Strikk til nøstebarn, but I've used different yarn: Lion Wool Prints from Lion Brand.




Shalom!

Dette hadde jeg aldri trodd - This I never believed!
This year my husband went mooshunting for the first time, and of course the result is loads of meat in the freezer. But yesterday we were really oldfashioned and made real homemade moose-sausages!!! It'll be exciting to try and taste it. I'd never believed I would stand at home in my kitchen making sausages from scratch!

Så ble jeg ferdig med et par flotte votter. De kalles regnbuevotter, og ble kjøpt som garnpakke fra Ellens Butikk : http://www.mamut.net/ellensbutikk/
I've finished a lovely pair of mittens too. They're called rainbowmittens, and was bought as a knitting kit from a stor called Ellens Butikk.


Julegaven er ferdig - finished christmas present
This sweater was fast to knit. I used 11 days, and then I've knitted on other things in between. It's a christmas present for one of my nieces. The yarn is Folcolana Coral Highland - it's not available anymore, it's replaced with Peruvian Highland. The pattern is from Gjestal pamphlet nr 142.

Farging - dyeing
I bought Jacuard Acid Dyes to dye my own yarn, and picked up a few skeins of my handspun. This was fun and easy. Think I have to try handpainting yarn and fibre next.




Ferdig denne uka - finished this week
This week I've finished these projects - Ribbed sweater in 3ply Merino from Nøstebarn, socks for my husband and felted slippers for my nieces and nephew for christmas.



Og så holdt jeg på å glemme av settet junior bestilte - tykke votter og lue. Jeg har strikka med 2 tråder Tynn Alpakka og 1 tråd Tykk Entrådet Alpakka.
I almost forgot the set junior ordered - chunky mittens and hat. I've used 2 strands of Tynn Alpakka and 1 strand of Tykk Entrådet Alpakka.

Babykjolen er ferdig - the babydress is finished
I've used a month on this. I don't like knitting with baby-wool too well. I think the yarn has little texture, and it splits easily. But the dress came out quite cute, and I hope the recipient - or rather it's parents - will be satisfied.


Sjalet er ferdig - the shawl is finished
Sist helg hekla jeg ferdig Eva's Shawl. Nå har jeg blokket det, og så har det ligget til tørk til nå. Fant mønsteret til dette sjalet på Ravelry, og begynte da jeg dro på tur til Skottland i August. Ble det ikke fint?
Last weekend I finished Eva's Shawl. I've blocked it, and it's been drying up until now. I found the pattern on Ravelry, and started it when I went to Scotland in August. Isn't it beautiful?

Sjal, pannebånd og pulsvarmere. Shawl, headband and wristwarmers.
I've finished these projects this last week.
Pannebåndet er heklet i RYC Alpaca Soft. Jeg hekla bare fastmasker og festet frynser på etterpå. Junior har lagt sin elsk på det allerede.
This headband is crocheted in RYC Alpaca Soft. I corocheted single crochets all the way, and attached fringes afterwards. Junior loves it

These wristwarmers are knitted from a pattern in the book One Skein Wonders. I used one skein of Lana Gross Mega Stoppino Fuso. Soft, nice yarn, with lovely colours.

I sommer kjøpte jeg to nøster med St. Magnus Angora i Skottland. Det ene nøstet ble til et par pulsvarmere. Mønsteret heter nr. 86-03, og finnes på garnstudio sine sider. http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/no/visoppskrift.php?d_nr=86&d_id=3&lang=no

Sjal med vintergækker - det er navnet på dette mønsteret. Fant det tilfeldigvis på sidene til Hjelholt Uldspinderi i Danmark. Dermed fikk jeg brukt det ene nøstet jeg hadde med Evilla 6/2. Jeg har allerede prøvd det på et par prosjekter, men rekte de opp igjen pga manglende inspirasjon, men dette ble vel bra?
Sjal med vintergækker - that's the name of this pattern. I found it on the pages of Hjelholt Uldspinderi in Denmark. So then I finally got to use that one skein of Evilla 6/2. I've tried to use it for other projects, but ended up ripping them due to lack of inspiration. But this was OK?


Calorimetry
A festive version in Gjestal Perle.

Evas sjal - Eva's shawl
I believe that was the name of this pattern I found on Ravelry. Easy crochetpattern, and the shawl looks great in Evilla. I started it just before I went to Scotland, so I could bring some crafting on the plane.

Sokker - socks
I've finished two pairs of socks. One is knitted in Trollgarn, and I've used a pattern from Garnstudio. They turned out a bit too large for me, so I decided to felt them in my washer. After some stretching they fitted perfectly, and the'yre very warm.

Det andre paret er strikka i Arwetta, etter mønster jeg kjøpte hos Mergarn. Marit har laga et flott mønster, lettforståelig og lett å strikke.
The other pair is knitted in Arwetta, after a pattern I bought at Mergarn. Marit's made a great pattern, easy to read and easy to knit.

Pledd - blanket
I found a large skein of yarn called Susanna at my LYS. It's an acrylic yarn, but very soft, and with beautiful colours. It's not great to knit with though. It'll become a blanket, and I hope to finish it before christmas. Hardly a problem, with large needles and few stitches.

Ribbegenser - ribbed sweater
Junior needs a new sweater, and this time it'll be a ribbed one in 3-ply woolyarn from Nøstebarn. The pattern comes from the book Strikk til nøstebarn.

One skein wonders
This summer I've used several patterns from the book One skein wonders, and the goal was to use some of the single skeins in my stash. Here are the results:

This pattern comes from Garnstudio: http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/no/visoppskrift.php?d_nr=110&d_id=34&lang=no The original is knitted in Drops Fabel, but Regia works great too. Junior loved it and thought it was so cool he had to have the set.

Halvsirkelsjal - halfcircleshawl
Jeg har masse plategarn i lageret, og syns det er deilig å strikke med og har vakre farger. Dermed var det bare å sette i gang. Ble veldig fornøyd med reaultatet.
I found the pattern for this shawl at Barbro Wilhelmsson's webpage http://www.wermland.nu/Stickning/

I was going to knit mittens for a 8 year old boy, who ordered homeknitted mittens last easter. But then I couldn't knit only for him and leave his little sister out. So I started her mittens first, with rabbits on. She got a rabbit from us last year when ours had babies, and she loves it dearly.

Resirkulert - recycled

Kjøpte strikkekit på Ebay for et år siden, og gjorde det ferdig nettopp. Lua er strikka i resirkulert garn - dvs opprekksgarn og smårester av diverse. Den ble fin, og er dobbel og varm, men syns den ble litt for tjukk og klumpete.
Bought a knitting kit on Ebay a year ago, and finished it recently. It's knitted in recycled yarn and scrapyarn. It looks good, and it's double with lining inside, so it's quite warm, but I think it became too lumpy and thick.

Here's my spinning wheel. It's a Louet. Some people say it doesn't look like a spinning wheel, but it works. Have spun yarn from wool and angora. Tried silk, didn't like it. Have never taken a class to learning, but just tried to figure it out by myself.
