Winter Holiday

Our Christmas holiday with Grandparents:



Kasematten

Sunny, a bit cold:





Almost like fall, or maybe spring?

Today is the day

Today is the day:

For gifting people we (I) love with gifts we have made/bought for them, with love.
The day that we (I) hope all gifts are well received.
The day that we all dress up in our finest clothes.
The day we eat so much nice food that we barely can move...
The day that I hope for some surprises for me...
The day that all children, in all ages, should go happy to bed.

Thank you for visiting my blog, I wish you a happy holiday!

A part of my Christmas tree:



All homemade ornaments...


Merry Christmas! <3

Last minute gift

I made a last minute gift for my son, since he loved my Falkgarn socks.



Just a 2x2 rib this time, but the rest of the pattern is the same.



I hope he will be happy with the result. :)

Thanks again to Marianne G for gifting me the yarn. *hugs*


Tusen takk for alle hyggelige kommentarer de siste dagene. Jeg lover å besøke alle som har vært innom!

Happy socks for me

Pattern: Magic cast-on, toe-up, magic loop, short-row heel, 2x2 rib.
Needle: 2.5 mm (US 1 1/2)
Yarn: Belday Strumpfgarn 4 fach/4 ply



Loved this yarn!

Advent

Vi tenner fire lys i kveld
og lar dem brenne ned
for lengsel, glede, håp og fred,
men mest allikevel
for fred på denne lille jord
der menneskene bor.

Gingerbread house

Starting to look like Christmas:



Decorated by my sons.


Look at the crowded chimney:



I think "somebody" are waiting for Santa.

*lol*


Have a nice weekend!

Socks from gifted yarn (with instructions)

Yarn: Falkgarn Sport, 114g (190 yards) (Sport/DK weight)
Needle: 4 mm

Need to know: Magic Cast-on, (Magic loop), Toe-up, short row heel.

Pattern (sort of)

Cast on 20 sts using Magic cast-on.
Knit 1 round
Increase 4 sts every second round, until 36 sts.
Knit 1 round, divide your sts 17/19 if you are using Magic loop or two needles.

Round 1: k1, (p3, k3)x2, p3, k1(foot), k the rest of the sts (sole).
Round 2: (k1, p1)x8, k1 (foot), k the rest of the sts (sole).

Repeat round 1 and 2 until 2 inches less then the lenght of the foot.

Work a short row heel (9 sts unworked in the middle).



Continue knitting the pattern round (adjust your sts).

Round 1: (k3, p3)x 6
Round 2: (k1, p1)x 18

for as long as you like.

Finish of by knitting 5 rounds 1x1 rib, cast off loosely.

Advent

Så tenner vi tre lys i kveld, for lengsel, håp og glede.
De står og skinner for seg selv og oss som er til stede.

Thank you so much, Marianne G. A pair of socks are already on my needles :))

Divided in two, and ready for plying:



See the difference between the beginning of my spinning (to the right), and the last I spun (to the left). It's going to be interesting trying to ply this together.
