What Tarot Card Are You?

You are The Tower

Ambition, fighting, war, courage. Destruction, danger, fall, ruin.

The Tower represents war, destruction, but also spiritual renewal. Plans are disrupted. Your views and ideas will change as a result.

The Tower is a card about war, a war between the structures of lies and the lightning flash of truth. The Tower stands for "false concepts and institutions that we take for real." You have been shaken up; blinded by a shocking revelation. It sometimes takes that to see a truth that one refuses to see. Or to bring down beliefs that are so well constructed. What's most important to remember is that the tearing down of this structure, however painful, makes room for something new to be built.

Litt mer bursdagsgaver/More birthdaypresents

Dette fikk jeg i forsinka bursdagsgave fra svigerfamilien :) To nøster beige alpakka, to nøster petrol alpakka, et nøste multifarga mohair, to bøker (varme kilder & når rett skal være rett) og et "sacco-brett".


-----------------------------------------------


Birthdaypresents from my boyfriends-family :) Four skeins alpacca, one skein mohair, two knitting books and a board to use for my laptop or other things when I need a table in my lap.

1måned til jul/1month until christmas eve!

WOW! Snakker om at tiden går fra meg da! Her må det produseres julgaver, skrives semesteroppgaver og leses til eksamen (helst ikke helt i den rekkefølgen, men ok)! Bilder kommer når jeg en gang blir ferdig med noe, har en del parallelle prosjekt på gang :P

-----------------------------------------------------------------
WOW! Time is running away from me! I need to produce christmas presents, write semesterpapers and read for my exams (preferably not in that order...) Pictures when I finnish something, I have several parallell projects at the moment :P

Dagens produksjon...

Hva gjør man når man bare er sliten og trøtt, drittlei oppgaveskriving og føler egentlig for å sove et par timer (men bør ikke sove)? Joda, man setter seg ved symaskinen... Her er tre varianter av "vete-varmer", bare mine er fylt med grøtris... Varmes i mikrobølgeovn og varer mye lengre enn ei varmeflaske. Min bestemor skal få den største til jul (er laget med tre mindre poser i et stort trekk), jeg skal ha en og en reiser kanskje i julegave et annet sted...



Og når jeg var ferdig med å sy, så laget jeg visst kaffesåpe også... *fnise* Regner med jeg klarer et såpestykke til hver av de voksene familiene jeg gir til + at jeg fikk en liten form med rester som jeg skal ha selv...

-------------------------------------------
What do you do when you're just really tired, don't feel like writing papers and really wants to go to sleep for a few hours (but shouldn't sleep since it would mess up your weekend)? You go and play with the sewingmachine... I've made three different "heating bags", they're filled with porridge-rice (direct translation......) and you heat them in the microwave... And then, then I made soap!

Strikketreff hos karipia06 :)

Her er bilder fra tirsdagens Tromegn-treff hos karipia06
En hund.....

Og mange damer... *fnise*

RL is catching up...

The main reason for me not posting very often nowadays is that real life is catching up with me... I have a martial arts grading soon, 3 semester papers to turn in and 3 exams in december. I'm out the door before 8AM and not home until 10PM... In other words, not much time for crafting!

Snart ferdig / almost finnished

Jeg strikker på denne søte lille omslagsjakka for tida, strikkes i Svale uten oppskrift :) Måtte prøve å ta bilde av noe strikka med mitt nye kamera!



I´m knitting this cute little wrap-around-jacket, it´s knitted in Svale without any pattern :) Had to try to take a picture of something knitted with my new camera!

bursdag vel overstått :)

Da var bursdagshelga over, og jeg er kjempefornøyd :) Fikk digitalkamera av mine foreldre (som sto øverst på ønskelista), et Canon IXUSi, i tillegg til klær, øredobber, kjempestilig tekopp (av "mor" som vet hvor glad jeg er i te) og en nyyyyydelig borddekorasjon + 2 flasker vin *fnise* Her blir det kos frem mot jul! Og så ligger det noe rart i boden på loftet som jeg tror jeg må spør om hva er, tror det må være årets overraskelse (i fjor fant jeg et smykke i et skap :P)

Takk for alle gratulasjoner!

---------------------------------------------
Birthdayweekend over, and I got a new digital camera (among other), a Canon IXUSi, love it! Maybe I can take pictures without having to charge the camera first now, my old one was getting really bad. I also got a lot of things to make it cosy in my flat for christmas.

Thanks for all the happy b-day wishes!

:)

I thought this cake was cute, just got it in the mail :)
It´s my b-day as of 10 minutes ago...

Garnklubbpakke \ Yarnclubb package

Nesten bursdagsgave et par dager for tidlig dette :) Falt særlig for de fire nøstene med Hot Socks!!!!

Almost a birthdaypresent a few days early :) I'm in love with the 4 skeins of Hot Socks!!!!

KMKS

For my KMKS swapee, here's my answers to the questionnaire :)

What are your favorite colors? I love blue and green, but I don't really mind the color! At the moment I use yellow and green mittens with my blue jacket at purple scarf, who cares if everything match ?

Are you a new mitt knitter? No, but I knit far less mittens than I knit socks!
How long have you been knitting mittens? Think I started knitting mittens as the same time as socks, so about 18years...

Do you prefer solid or multicolored yarn? both, just not in the same project

What fibers do you prefer in mitten yarn? wool! It gets cold in Norway!

Where do you usually knit mittens? Everywhere...

How do you usually carry/store small projects? In a small knitting bag I have in my backpack.

What are your favorite mitten patterns? I love the norwegian Selbu mittens, but then I am Norwegian. I also knit a lot of felted mittens.

What are your favorite mitten knitting techniques? I usually use DPNs but now I've finally managed to figure out magic loop and my last pair was knitted using the magic loop technique.

What new techniques would you like to try? surprise me!

What are your favorite needles for knitting mittens? I finally got a pair of Addi for knitting magic loop, and I love them!

What are some of your favorite yarns? Anything wool with not so much acrylic or other artificial fiber... A little is ok (like for socks).

What yarn do you totally covet? Everything I can't get here in Norway without it costing an arm and a leg.

Any pattern you would love to make if money and time were no object? .........

Favorite kind of needles (brand, materials, straights or circs, etc)? I knit with bamboo when I knit on dpns, but for circs I use metall. I just got hold of my first pair of Addis and I love them

If you were a specific kind of yarn, which brand and kind of yarn would you be? Socks that Rock

Do you have a favorite candy or mail-able snack? Chocolate (dark, load of coco) :)

Whats your favorite animal? Guinea pigs (have two) and cats!
Would you prefer super warm mittens or something more like fingerless mitts? Both, superwarm for winter or fingerless for spring

If you were a color what color would you be? "seagreen"

What is your most inspiring image, flower, or object in nature? Flowers in the summer and pictures of nature covered in snow when it's winter!

Do you have a wishlist? not really... (a problem for my whole family)

Anything else you would like to share with the group today? I can't wait!

Abstinenser!

Fikk litt sjokk da jeg kom hjem i går kveld og så at Hobbyboden var stengt for helga... Ingen forhåndsvarsel, så jeg har litt abstinenser nå når jeg sitter her og spiser frokost!

Det blir nok lite håndarbeid denne helga, er treningshelg :) 4 timer trening i dag!

--------------------------------------------------
I was surprised when I got home last night and saw that Hobbyboden was "closed" this weekend... No advance warning, so I'm having a bit of abstinence when having breakfast this morning.

Still, I don't have time for crafting this weekend, it's a trainingcamp :) 4 hours training today!
