As it’s SO cold here, I just had to knit a hat for myself too. The pattern is out of a lovely book called “Sock Yarn One-Skein Wonders: 101 Patterns That Go Way Beyond Socks“… at least I think it is. I noted it down so long ago, that I can’t really remember where I [...]

Simple Cabled Hat
Posted in knitting, pattern, personal, self made..., Whatever on January 16, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Today I finished knitting a rather simple cabled hat for mum. I used size 6 (US 10) needles and the yarn is Lana Grossa Uno (1 1/2 skeins). Though the yarn looks great, feels wonderfully soft and awesome to wear, it is a real pain to knit with. Still I love how the hat turned [...]

Just a tiny short post to show of my finished cardigan: Waves Cardigan Isn’t it pretty? I finished it yesterday and just love how it turned out. Also it fits perfectly. It will be fun to wear it over short sleeved shirts in spring. Right now it’s a little too chilly for that… Anyway, I [...]

2011 was quite a busy year where reading is concerned. I read 39 books and listened to 77 audiobooks. Of those 77 audiobooks only 16 were either commercial or non LibriVox recordings. The other 61 were Librivox recordings, for which I did the prooflistening. Of the books I read the one I liked best probably was [...]

If you love Super Mario you absolutely have to watch this. I think it’s the very best opera I’ve ever seen. Isn’t it absolutely great?

It’s such a pity that we don’t have a proper Halloween, with witches, ghosts, zombies, trick-or-treating and other fun stuff here. Still I had a wonderful time carving out this “beauty” for today’s party: My Jack O’Lantern Doesn’t he look great (though his teeth are crooked and in desperate need of braces )? He did [...]
