Vacationtime.

In Norwegian Please!
Well, I finished both Blueberry Waffle socks. In purple, so I guess they're not blueberries, more... "purple-sies". Or something. (The picture's lying through it's teeth - they're more purple than this.)

The model here is my Dear. His only complaint was not receiving enough footmassage from me. We can talk about massages later I think - my shoulders are sore... Foot-rub for a back-rub?? I do think that would be a fair exchange - don't you??

These socks were a fun project. The rounds just flew and suddenly I had the heel done!! And next I knew I had to count repeats on my finished sock so I knew when to make the toe. (It was just in time too!)


And this time I managed to f-up the kitchener-toe-thing-doing. But I managed to see what I'd done wrong, I scratched my head a bit (no, didn't get any splinters in my fingers either. Imagine that!) and re-read the how-to, and now it looks good. Or... it looks better.

Doubt that I'll get it perfect until next year, that one...

I also like the yarn. It splits easily but I've learned to live/knit with that so I hardly notice anymore. The yarn is soft and easy - but running though my hands and on the needles - and is easier to knit with than for instance Mor Aase raggegarn.

As I mentioned in the heading - it is vacationtime here. Both of us grown-ups started our vacation this week, and since stepson just loves fancy food, here's what I made for lunch one day:
Salad, boiled eggs, Norwegian cured ham, fried mushrooms and some crackers.
The salad was leftovers from the taco dinner the evening before, and the mushrooms had to be eaten since they don't hold very well.
But although it was leftovers and has-to-be-eaten and such, the lunch was tasty. Both Luren and his son were happy afterwards, so mission was accomplished. Not to forget - it was fancy and luxurious for stepson. Do we have to mention that dinner was tomatosoup?

Since I finished the purple-sies I figured it was time for the big wool-knit-wash. I am not much of a housewife (in my own opinion I do just about enough to get by without being lazy) so I tend to keep all finished projects tucked away until the heap is no longer ignorable. And that happens to be at the same time when all knits washed fill the bed in the guestroom. Hm... Imagine that strange coincidence!
So - everything that's not going to be felted nor left the house recently got a turn in slightly soapy water. The turqouise shawl neede some fabric softener too, but it's only 15% wool and the rest is 'fake', so there you go.

As I blocked the offwhite scarf, the shawl and the two My So Called Scarf's, I realized I really need blocking wires! I think that must be my next goal - get me some wires... And good needles too... Think it's about time I investigated these opportunities.
