On the needle

I am superworkingwoman.
Monday through friday I go to my “regular job”, fulltime, as a teachersaid of some sorts at a school in Oslo. The students all have different difficulties, and need more help than most. I love this job, and hopefully I will get into the University in Oslo to study the subject. This month, [...]

I got my behind in gear while I was sick and opened my own etsy store. I am planning to add more items, but working two jobs and keeping our appartment in shape takes up most of my time right now.
I need suggestions to name my store though, the one up now is boring and [...]

I am having some severe pain in my right arm and shoulder and need to use it as little as possible. That means no knitting and not much writing. So I am forced on a hiatus, hopefully I’ll be good to go in a week or two.
But, before I go on my forced hiatus, I [...]

I learned to knit when I was about 7 years old, my mom bought me this “starterkit”. It was a bright pink cardboard box, that contained (I think) four balls of yarn, a little booklet with instructions and easy pattern, and a pair of needles. I made the most horrible scarf you could ever imagine! [...]

I use my wishlist almost as a linklist. Always when my birthday or Christmas is right around the corner, I have a hard time answering the question “what do you want for Christmas/your birthday?”. So now, I can just pop into my wishlist and look for answers. Not bad. I added a new item today, [...]

Notscarlett from Ravelry needs to sell off some yarnstash. Her dog Cricket was hit by a car, and according to the vet it looks good. She has a pelvic fracture, might need surgery and needs to be monitored, but if all goes well she will be home on monday.
I have a dog as well, and [...]

I am addicted. I stumbled over the Yarn Thing Podcast yesterday, and I can’t stop listening to it. The podcaster (is that what you call the person behind a podcast?) Marly is so sweet and funny, and I catch myself laughing out loud of her stories. So, if you like a laugh, and some knitting [...]

I might be crazy, but since I have fallen deeply in love with my sewingmaching I have a feeling that I might start a quilt in 2008. I am not setting a startdate yet, but I am thinking about it all the time. I want a colorful quilt, and hopefully I’ll be done in time for [...]

. I have been using this little stash and dash bag all week, made from Amy Butlers pattern. It keeps me organised, and the colors remind me of spring.

I got the best package in my mailbox today, I am beaming with happiness.

The package had a purple theme, complete with little ribbons and ladybugs. But i was blown away when I uwrapped it, and spotted a supersoft purple yarn.
I have never seen such beautiful yarn in real life. (Although I get my fix from [...]
