      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000099&gt;Jeg har flyttet. Den nye bloggen var på noen måter enklere for meg å håndtere. Mange ting jeg ikke er fornøyd med enda, men det kommer seg :-) Glad om du følger med meg!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#663366&gt;I have moved. The new blog is in some ways easier for me to handle, lots I'm not pleased with yet, but I'll be there :-) I'd love if you followed me!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://vigdismariedesign.com/blog/&quot;&gt;http://vigdismariedesign.com/blog/&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Min mye knapp, laget av Virtuella, selvfølgelig. Velg selv!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My new button, made by Virtuella, of course. Your choice!&lt;/P&gt;

Men nå er det visst noenlunde kontroll på både bøker og vann. Så dere bør ha dem mandag eller tirsdag, takk for tålmodigheten &lt;IMG class=wp-smiley alt=:-) src=&quot;http://vigdismariedesign.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif&quot;&gt; Dere er noen engler!&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Er lei av blogdrive, mange får den ikke opp, noen ganger er den borte, og noen ganger, ja. Den har vært borte nå et par dager, og jeg ble litt lei. Derfor kan det&amp;amp;nbsp;nok hende at det blir ny blogg på meg nå. Har holdt på i hele dag med å lage meg en prøve eller to... ta en titt om du vil. Den første er enklest å få til, den andre har flere muligheter. Så får vi se.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT&amp;#39;&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://vigdismariedesign.com/&quot;&gt;http://vigdismariedesign.com/&lt;/A&gt; &lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#663366 size=3&gt;I am tired of blogdrive, some can't open the site, sometimes it's gone, and sometimes, yes.. It's been gone for some days now, and I got sick and tired of waiting. So I made some other tries. Take a peek if you wish, and let me know what you think. The first one is easy to manage, the other one has more options. So we'll see.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#330099 size=3&gt;Ja, jeg har blitt nomnert av flere, men har valgt å ikke sette det inn i loggen. Kjenner dere følelsen av å ikke være verdig? Jeg har hatt det sånn en stund, men så fikk jeg en herlig mail fra en god venn, som fortalt meg det motsatte, nemlig at jeg var verdig :-) Så her er nominasjonen. Takk til alle som har nominert meg :-) Det er mange jeg tenker på når jeg ser denne, mange allerede nominert, men her er noen av dem :&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://virtuella.blogdrive.com/&quot; target=_self&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;Virtuella&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;, &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://blogg.hobbyboden.com/Heklejenta/&quot; target=_self&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;Heklejenta&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;, &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://blogg.hobbyboden.com/toja/&quot; target=_self&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;Toja&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;, &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://sisslesola.blogdrive.com/&quot; target=_self&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;Sisslesola&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;, &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://janevdoviak.blogspot.com/&quot; target=_self&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;Jane&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;, &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://pennypurlsandkittyknits.blogspot.com/&quot; target=_self&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;Penny&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;, &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://debsanythingblog.blogspot.com/&quot; target=_self&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;Deb&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;. Jeg kunne ha fortsatt, men det får holde!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#663366&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Yes, I have been nominated several times, but have choosen not to put them on the blog. Do you know the feeling of not being worthy? I've felt like that a while, until a good friend told me that in here opinion I really was worthy, so here it is. Thanks to everyone who has nominated me. there's a lot of people I'd love to nominate, and if you&amp;nbsp;take a look in&amp;nbsp;the Norwegian text&amp;nbsp;you'll find some of them. I could have found more, but...&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

      <title>Slavearbeid!/Slavery!</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=&quot;Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; color=#000099 size=3&gt;Slavearbied!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000099 size=3&gt;Joda, det finnes fremdeles her i Norge! Til og med her i Kristiansand! Og det verste? Han ser ut til å nyte det :-) Jeg lovet noen venner å vise bilde av hva jeg holder på med i helgen, vel, det er dette. Vi måtte trykke flere bøker og flyttet like gjerne &quot;trykkeriet&quot; ned fra kjøkkenloftet til biblioteket. Boka er begynt å bli populær, og det synes jeg er utrolig kjekt. Det er jo et produkt som er laget fra hjertet. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000099 size=3&gt;For den observante: det er et lite nytt element på bordet for den som måtte ha interesse av det :-)&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#663366 size=3&gt;Slavery!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#663366 size=3&gt;Yes, it still excists here in Norway, even here in Kristiansand! And the worst part? He seems to enjoy it :-) I promised some friends to update what I have been doing this weekend, and, well, it's this. We had to print more books, so now we moved the whole &quot;press&quot; downstairs, to our library. The book is beginning to&amp;nbsp;get popular, and that's really so great! Because I've used my heart when making it,&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#663366 size=3&gt;The observant: yes, there is a little new element on the table for those interessed :-)&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

Hvis du leser videre, vil du kanskje forstå. &lt;?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = &quot;urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office&quot; /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

En ørliten blodpropp som forandret hele mitt liv og hele min verden. Jeg mistet førligheten i venstre side. Jeg mistet dermed evnen til å gå normalt, til å vaske, stelle og kle på meg, til å spise med kniv og gaffel, til å løfte, holde rundt ting. &lt;SPAN style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;Jeg mistet evnen til å regne, kunne telle til 13, men ikke + og -,&lt;SPAN style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;forsto ikke klokka eller pengeverdi. Jeg mistet koordineringssansen, konsentrasjonsevnen og logikken.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #c00000&quot;&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

Jeg har rett og slett ikke latt vær å tenke på den. Den har vært i meg som en, ja, som en mare. Jeg har mange ganger tenkt: Hva er vitsen? Hvorfor fortsette? Ikke ta mitt liv, nei, det var aldri tanken, bare gi opp. For kampen til å komme tilbake, for å reise seg, gang på gang, har vært hard. Hardere enn noen har kunnet forestille seg. Jeg var spesiallærer på barneskolen. Jeg elsket min jobb, men hadde ingen mulighet til å fortsette. Jeg hadde barn, men de var voksne og ”trengte” meg strengt tatt ikke. Og mannen min? Han ville jo klare seg, mente jeg. Og hva skulle jeg da kjempe for? Jeg kunne jo like gjerne bare gi opp? &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style=&quot;MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 10pt&quot;&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #365f91; mso-themecolor: accent1; mso-themeshade: 191&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;FONT face=Calibri&gt;Men skal jeg si deg noe rart? Det har ikke gått slik. Jeg kunne rett og slett ikke klare å gi opp! Jeg fikk den styrken jeg trengte for å prøve litt til, og litt til. Og vet dere hvorfor? Det har nemlig gått opp for meg i natt. Jeg har nemlig oppdaget en svært vesentlig ting:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style=&quot;MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 10pt&quot;&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #c00000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;FONT face=Calibri&gt;DØDEN, DEN KOMMER&lt;B style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;U&gt; ETTER&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/B&gt; LIVET!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

Jeg kan vaske og stelle meg selv, og kle på meg uten problemer. må ha hjelp på de verste dagene, men det skyldes fibromyalgi og hjelpen ER der! Jeg spiser pent, og jeg kan holde rundt det jeg vil.

I couldn’t use my left side. So I couldn’t walk normal, I couldn’t wash myself, get dressed, use my knife and fork, hold anything. I couldn’t count, well, I could up to 13…, but not + and -, I couldn’t tell the time or the value of money. I lost my coordinating-, concentration and logical skills. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

Well, I suddenly realized that I have been thinking of it ever since this happened. It’s been like a constant nightmare. Several times I’ve been thinking: What’s the point? Why continue? No. Suicide was never a thought, just giving up. Because the fight to get back has been tough, tougher than anyone could ever imagine. I was a teacher, loved my job, but was unable to continue. I had kids, but they were grown-ups and didn’t “need” me. &lt;SPAN style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;What about my husband?&lt;SPAN style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;I thought he’d manage. So what to fight for? Why not just give up?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

It didn’t work out that way. I just couldn’t give up! I got the strength I needed to try a little bit more, and some more. And do you know why? I suddenly understood this tonight:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066 size=3&gt;Dette har jeg laget de siste ukene. Jeg har en nær venninne som har tunge dager i livet sitt nå. Og da fortjener hun noe å vamre seg på, ikke sant? Valget mitt falt på Ikarus, fordi det er enkelt, uten de store mønstre, men likevel vakkert. Håper det vil varme henne på mange måter!!! Mønsteret finnes i &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Best-Interweave-Knits-Favorite-Designs/dp/1596680334/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-8603563-6754564?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1194247377&amp;amp;sr=1-1&quot; target=_self&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066 size=3&gt;denne&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066 size=3&gt;&amp;nbsp;boken.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#663366 size=3&gt;I have been knitting this the latest weeks.&amp;nbsp;A friend of mine is having some tough time now. So I thought she needed something to keep her warm. I choose to knit Icarus, because it's a shawl that doesn't have too much pattern in it, but still is beautiful. I hope it will keep her warm in many ways!!! The pattern is in &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Best-Interweave-Knits-Favorite-Designs/dp/1596680334/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-8603563-6754564?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1194247377&amp;amp;sr=1-1&quot; target=_self&gt;&lt;FONT color=#663366 size=3&gt;this&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT color=#330033&gt;&lt;FONT color=#663366 size=3&gt; book&lt;/FONT&gt;.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066 size=3&gt;Se på disse skjønnhetene, er de ikke bare så aldeles nusselige???&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#663366 size=3&gt;Look at these &quot;cutiepies&quot;, they really are beauties!!!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG style=&quot;WIDTH: 428px; HEIGHT: 301px&quot; height=432 src=&quot;http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/vis2vas/IMG_0798.jpg&quot; width=628&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066 size=3&gt;Og se på denne skjønnheten også! Sukk! Han er bare deilig! Og han er min!!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#330033 size=3&gt;And look at this beauty too! Sigh! He is soooo lovely! And he's mine!!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG style=&quot;WIDTH: 369px; HEIGHT: 504px&quot; height=697 src=&quot;http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/vis2vas/IMG_0799-1.jpg&quot; width=369&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066 size=3&gt;Dette er sokker strikket av garn som jeg har farget med Kool-Aid og Egg-dye fra USA. Det gikk med akkurat ett 100 g nøste. Oppskriftene er mine egne. Den store er i boka omtalt øverst på siden her og den minste er tanken å ha i en ny bok engang :-)&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#330033 size=3&gt;This is socks knoitted with my own handpainted yarn, dyed in Kool-Aid and Egg-Dyes. I used one 100 g shein. The patterns are my own. The large one is in my sock-book(norwegian, yet) and the little one is going to be in my next one :-)&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;IMG style=&quot;WIDTH: 348px; HEIGHT: 448px&quot; height=692 src=&quot;http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/vis2vas/IMG_0796.jpg&quot; width=348&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066 size=3&gt;Og dette er det min mann kaller strikkebaren min. Den har han laget ute i &quot;Værkstedet&quot;, der vi sitter og lager ting, og har kniv- og strikke-treff jevnlig.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#330033 size=3&gt;And this is what my husband has named my knitting-bar. He has made it in our workshop. We make different things there, and have knife- and knitting-meetings.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=&quot;Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; color=#000066 size=3&gt;Jeg strikker, ja da, men er liksom ikke helt i strikkemodus for tida. Sliter med smerter pga fibromyalgi og reumatisme. Ikke lett å holde humøret oppe, men prøver å gjøre og tenke positive ting! Og med mine praktfulle barn og barnebarn er ikke det så vanskelig :-) Igår hadde vi en ny flott dag sammen, da var det Elias sin barnedåp! Ja, han er frisk. Operasjonen gikk over alle forventninger, han drikker sin melk rett fra flasken, ikke med sonde lenger. Helt topp. Og det beste? Han smiler til absolutt alle, det største og skjønneste smil som finnes. Kommer nok et bilde etterhvert! Takk for alle gode tanker og bønner dere har sendt i vår retning!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#330033 size=3&gt;I'm knitting, yes, but I just can't seem to enjoy it now. I have fibromyalgia and rheuamatisme and my hole body is aching. Not easy to keep my spirits up, but I'm trying to do positive things and think positive thoughts :-) And with my wonderful kids and grandchildren around me, it ain't really hard :-) Yesterday was little Elias' christening day. Yes, he's fine. The operation went well, he's drinking his milk from a bottle all by himself. Great! And the best part? He keeps smiling to every person he sees. Picture will be entered later. Thank you so much for all your love and blessings!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066 size=3&gt;På strikkefronten er det dette som skjer, og ikke glem å se på det siste bildet!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#330033 size=3&gt;This is what I'm knitting on, and don't forget to løook at the last picture!!!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Pattern: The finished one is from my book, the &quot;half-done&quot; is&amp;nbsp;coming in&amp;nbsp;my &quot;next&quot; book *LOL* &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Yarn: My own handpainted sock-yarn, yes, it's Kool-Aid and egg-something..&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;Og det voktigste bildet: Markus (3 år og storebror til Elias) strikker sin første pinne! Men det ble med den, for da KUNNE han strikke, sa han......&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#330033&gt;And the most important picture: Markus (3 years and Elias' bigbrother) knits his first row! But it was also the last row, because then he told me he now KNEW how to knit, and didn't have to do it any more.......&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000099&gt;Boka er i A5 format, den er skrevet på norsk, bare sokke-navnene er engelske. Den er laget HJEMME på kjøkkenloftet.

      <title>Tilbake!/I'm back!</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=&quot;Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; color=#000066 size=2&gt;Så er jeg da tilbake fra min ferie, og &quot;hold da op&quot; for en ferie! Vi har for det meste hatt det supert! &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;Vi startet med å riese til Borås i Sverige, der vi hygget oss et par dager med kjøp av vevgarn. Reiste ned til Kinna for å handle på &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.garnhusetkinna.se/&quot; target=_self&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;Garnhuset&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;. Det er så deilig å være der! Vi fikk god hjelp til å handle alt vi trengte og ikke trengte. Det var der vi var i august også, og vi kommer garantert til å ta turen igjen. De sender også :-)&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066 size=2&gt;Fra Borås kjørte vi over broen til Danmark, og Næstved på Sjælland. Der skulle jeg være på Webstrik's Strikkefestival, mens Terje skulle bo i et sommerhus på Faxe Ladeplass. Sommerhuset var helt forferdelig, men han og senere vi overlevde.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066 size=2&gt;Strikkefestival...å, det var da bare helt skjønt. Tenk, en hel weekend med kjære venner og strikkere. Kan man ha det bedre. Jeg hadde med meg litt garn, maskemarkører og boka for salg. Og klarte jammen å få med meg litt garn tilbake!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;Vi reiste nordover igjen på onsdag, da til Randers for å sove på et Quality hotel der, aldeles deilig luksus!!! Og på veien dit måtte vi bar &quot;lige&quot; innom Kolding og &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.garn.dk/&quot; target=_self&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;BC-garn&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;&amp;nbsp;, dån! Der datt det litt mer garn oppi en pose, eller mon det var 2 poser... Igår skulle vi så bare kjøre opp til Hirtshals og ta ferja hjem. Terje var sliten og ville ikke kjøre motorvei, og&amp;nbsp;vupti, endte vi jammen meg i Saltum, og dermed på &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://bindestuen.dk/&quot; target=_self&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;Bindestuen&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;, ikke en bærepose nå, bare litt Kauni. Eh...nevnte jeg at vi stoppet et lite øyeblikk i en garnbutikk langs veien i Brovst...&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066 size=2&gt;Hjemturen ble litt lang, ferja var 1 1/2 time forsinket, men nå er vi hjemme og jeg er bare helt vill etter å komme igang med garn, strikk og veving!!!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#663366 size=2&gt;I have explained all my scandinavian friends about the trip I have had to Sweden and Denmark the last 1 1/2 weeks. It has been simply amazing!!!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#663366&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;We started in Sweden buying weaving-yarn at &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.garnhusetkinna.se/&quot; target=_self&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;Garnhuset in Kinna&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;, then went to Knitting festival in Denmark with my Webstrik friends. And ended up buying yarn different places all over Denmark. Not much, but enough to make me want to leave the computer and knit and weave instead!!!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#663366 size=2&gt;I'm selling my norwegian sock-book, too. It's so fun! And, yes, to all the questions, I have started translating to English :-) Just be a bit patient!!! I AM norwegian!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=&quot;Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; color=#000099 size=3&gt;TADA!!!!!!! Looky here :-)&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;Tillegg: &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;Boka er i A5 format, den er laget HJEMME på kjøkkenloftet. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;Jeg tar 150 kr + frakt (går i en A5 smart-konvolutt). Jeg er nettopp startet trykking/innbinding og sender ut etterhvert, samt at noen skal være med på tur til Sverige/Danmark om en uke! Og da blir jeg borte en uke, så leveringstid må påregnes.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;Send en mail til &lt;A href=&quot;mailto:virre.vapp@yahoo.com&quot;&gt;virre.vapp@yahoo.com&lt;/A&gt; eller legg inn en kommentar her.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=&quot;Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; color=#000099 size=3&gt;&lt;IMG style=&quot;WIDTH: 470px; HEIGHT: 350px&quot; height=453 src=&quot;http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/vis2vas/IMG_0678.jpg&quot; width=566&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=&quot;Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; color=#000099 size=3&gt;Endelig er jeg igang med å trykke og binde inn bøkene som jeg har snakket om i en evighet! Jeg har laget 12 exemplarer nå i første omgang, og 2 av disse er klare til å sendes i posten. Den ene skal til Stina som vant navnekonkurransen og den andre til &lt;A href=&quot;http://virtuella.blogdrive.com/&quot; target=_self&gt;Virtuella&lt;/A&gt;, som har vært min mentor og støtte gjennom hele prosessen Hadde ALDRI klart det uten henne!! Jeg har funnet litt smårusk som må rettes på før jeg tar neste runde. Og neste runde håper jeg skjer fra onsdag til...... Håper å ha med meg noen exemplarer til &lt;A href=&quot;http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/webstrik/&quot; target=_self&gt;Webstrikernes&lt;/A&gt; strikkefestival første helg i oktober. Om jeg gleder meg til festivalen? Gjett om! Jeg skal dele rom med &lt;A href=&quot;http://fridabraga.blogspot.com/&quot; target=_self&gt;Frida&lt;/A&gt; fra Island, bare det er en stor ting å glede seg til. Sist var jeg så engstelig at jeg måtte ha enerom :-)&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000099 size=3&gt;På strikkefronten er det de søte små babystøvlene jeg lager. Mange spør eter oppskrift, men for å være ærlig vet jeg ikke hvor jeg har fått den fra. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#663366 size=3&gt;I'm just telling my Nrowegian friends that my book soon is&amp;nbsp;on the road. I've maid 12 :-) And have found some things to &quot;repair&quot; before making more. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#663366 size=3&gt;Oktober 5.-7. That's gonna be MY weekend! I'm leaving for Denmark. And the yearly Webstrik-festival. About 70 (?) ladies knitting together the whole weekend. Am I lucky or am I lucky?????&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#663366 size=3&gt;I'm knitting the small baby booties, have made several pairs, they are such fun making!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Jeg er blitt tagget/I'm tagged</title>
      <link>http://strikkestua.blogdrive.com/archive/107.html</link>

      <description>&lt;H3 class=&quot;post-title entry-title&quot;&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://villepinner.blogg.no/&quot;&gt;Jeg har blitt tagget!&lt;/A&gt; &lt;/H3&gt;
&lt;DIV class=post-header-line-1&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV class=&quot;post-body entry-content&quot;&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Jeg har blitt tagget av&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href=&quot;http://frksnupp.blogspot.com/&quot; target=_self&gt;frk.Snupp&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;(trykk på overskriften så kommer du til henne), og dette er hva som skal gjøres:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;1. Link til den som har tagget deg&lt;BR&gt;2. Fortell 7 sannheter om deg, litt forskjellig og litt rart!&lt;BR&gt;3. Tagg 7 folk i slutten av blogginnlegget &lt;BR&gt;4. Legg en melding i bloggen deres og gi dem beskjed om at de har blitt tagget&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Her er 7 ting om meg:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;1. Jeg er helt vanvittig glad i poteter i alle varianter. Klarer aldri å si nei til det!&lt;BR&gt;2. Det verste jeg vet er blåskjell (tror jeg...har aldri tort smake...)&lt;BR&gt;3. Det beste jeg vet spareribs. Det har vært min favoritt siden jeg var bitte liten!&lt;BR&gt;4. Jeg har Opal-mani. MÅ ha det, bare MÅ ha det!&lt;BR&gt;5. Jeg har utviklet egen radar når jeg er i Danmark, finner ALLTID garnbutikker eller&amp;nbsp; gode, rmelige strikkebøker.&lt;BR&gt;6. Hvis jeg skulle startet utdanningen min om på nytt ville jeg blitt designer.&lt;BR&gt;7. Jeg smelter totalt når jeg får små babyer lagt i armene. Blir helt myk og &quot;gossen&quot;. :-) &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Disse personer tagger jeg:&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=&quot;Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; color=#000099 size=3&gt;Igår kom det 2 nye pakker i hus :-) En fra &quot;Garnbyttekassen&quot;, og en fra Chappy, som er medlem på &lt;A href=&quot;http://groups.yahoo.com/group/New_Yarns/&quot; target=_self&gt;New Yarns&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000099 size=3&gt;&quot;Garnbyttekassen&quot; er en gjeng kvinner fra Webstrik som ble enige om å sende en &quot;liten&quot; kasse med garn til hverandre, vi tar ut det vi vil ha og legger ned nytt til nestemann. Og nestemann nå, det var MEG!!! Det er snadderhyggeligt! Så nå har den vært til USA, England, Island, Norge, og skal sendes herfra til Sverige! Se opp Marie, jeg sender den herfra innen helgen.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000099 size=3&gt;På første bilde ser du hva jeg tok ut :-)&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000099 size=3&gt;På andre bide ser du hva &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.purrfectlycatchydesigns.com/&quot; target=_self&gt;Chappy&lt;/A&gt; fra USA sendte meg! Er det ikke flott? å kan jeg fortsette å farge garn :-) Aner ikke hvordan disse tablettene skal brukes, men finner det vel ut, tenker jeg!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#663366 size=3&gt;I recieved 2 new packages yesterday, one from my &quot;Yarnexchangegroup&quot;, and one from Chappy, a member of &lt;A href=&quot;http://groups.yahoo.com/group/New_Yarns/&quot; target=_self&gt;New Yarns&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#663366 size=3&gt;The &quot;Yarnexchangegroup&quot; is a group of&amp;nbsp;women from Webstrik. We agreed to send eachother a &quot;small&quot; amount of yarn, we take what we want and put the same amount of yarn in the box and send it to the nest person on the list, and now it was MY turn!!! It's been in USA; England, Iceland, Norway and is soon on its way to Sweden!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#663366 size=3&gt;You can see what I choose on the first picture.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#663366 size=3&gt;On the other picture you can see what &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.purrfectlycatchydesigns.com/&quot; target=_self&gt;Chappy&lt;/A&gt; from theUSA sent me! Isn't it great? So now I can continue to dye yarn! I have no idea how to use these tablets, but I now I'll soon find out :-)&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
