Crochet scarfs
Last year I joined a crochet class. I knew how to crochet before I attended the class, but not so much more than the basics, and I didn’t know how to follow a recipe. It is possible to do quite a lot without those skills though, and only with some basics. So I made a lot of small vests and jackets.
.
I did miss
the possibility of being sure that the proportions were ok though, which often
ended up with being a surprise along the way. I also missed the possibility of
variations in stitches (I am not sure whether this is the correct English word)
and patterns.
I don’t
remember now where I found the recipe,. It was from one of the many library
books I was borrowing at that time.
When I had
finished the scarf I wanted to make something more ,using the same stiches, just
to be sure I would not forget them. I decided to knit another scarf, but just
plain and not in any specific shape, just to maintain the new skill.
This scarf is still in progress, as my son was born right in the middle of it..

New life, new blog
The first
coffee in the morning. Wool. The smell of a wood stove. Yarn. Cows. The west
coast of Ireland .
Friends and family. Nepal .
Travelling. Dreaming. Handwritten letters. Photos. Cats. Vegetarian cooking and
baking. Books. Organic products. Art. Crochet. Blogs. The smell of wool. My
cute baby. These are some of my favourite things.
I am a
Norwegian living in Denmark ,
and the mother of an amazing little person who is half Nepalese.
I like both
the city and the countryside, but not so much the thing in between. Right now I
am living in the middle of the city, while dreaming of cows, the ocean and
ecovillages. I live here with my son (Silas Nimai), and sometimes with my
husband too.
..
My blog is
about my daily life, my travels (especially to Nepal
and Ireland ),
my hobbies, activities and interests. I am documenting the small things I do
and think, to store it as a diary, and to keep in touch with friends and family
far away.
