HildeGV's blog!

Jeg har nemlig måket litt for mye snø i desember i fjor, faktisk, og har fått meg en slem betennelse i armen, fra fingertuppene og ut i albuen.. Berget faktisk området fra albuen og opp til skuldra med første runden av betennelsesdempende medisin, men det snakker vi ikke så høyt om..

Fungerer greit, bare det at det gjør så sabla vondt – og er så innmari kjedelig å ikke få hverken strikket, heklet, løftet tunge ting eller måket snø på en stund..

Er på min andre kur med betennelsesdempende medisin, og bli med meg i en virkelig inngående og dyp bønn om at denne medisinkuren faktisk vil fungere (ta bort betennelsen), fordi blir ikke betennelsen borte så må jeg operere og da kan jeg iallefall ikke strikke på en laaaaang, forferdelig lang stund..

For jeg vil ikke operere, jeg vil strikke og hekle! *Nemlig!*

This is my Christmas Balls, knitted after the pattern in the book from Arne & Carlos called “Julekuler” in Norwegian.

Those that are knitted in one single colour, without motifs, are knitted in Gjestal Baby Ull, in the colours red nr 823 and white nr 801. The yarn is usually knitted on needle nr 2 1/2, contains 100 % Merino Ull, or wool, Laine, Lana, Schurwolle, Scheerwol, Puhdasta as the note on the yarn says…

The knitted Christmas Balls are all knitted on needle nr. 2.

The ones with motifs from the book is knitted in various baby wool from Dalegarn or Sandnes Garn.

And as you can see on the picture of the book the pattern is from, there are two books shown. I bought one for my daughter for Christmas last year, because I have made several usefull notes (understandable only for my self) in mine, and didn’t want to borrow it to her..

This year’s absolute last purchase of yarn was made in the yarnshop in Sunndalsøra, and contains 3 yarn-balls of Viking Baby Ull for a baby-gift-project and 3 yarn-balls of Viking Sportsgarn for a pair of mittens to Eva, black mittens with purple edges.

I also bought two booklets with patterns so that I could knit both the baby-gift and the mittens.

Sometime ago I promised to do the HAPPY DANCE when everyone had recieved their stocking in the exchange, but due to my bad back I can’t do the dance myself this time..

So I have to give you another HAPPY DANCE, hence the nice pictures!

HAAAAAAPPY DANCEEEEEEE!

I would like to wish

 YOU and your family

a

Very MERRY CHRISTMAS

and a

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
