at home: oslo / january 2012

i bought myself an iphone and i wanted just the right cover for it. and you know that is not possible to buy :) so i made this cover based on an idea from the magazine Mollie Makes:

i'm sorry that the colours of the photos are not the same.

at home: oslo / november 2011- february 2012

i told you i wasn't an expert on knitting... in november i got this book by arne & carlos on how to make knitted christmas balls (julekuler) knitted in traditional norwegian patterns. and the book said it was quite easy and excellent for beginners, and it seemed like one could knit a ball in just an evening. i thought it might take a little longer for me, but after two weeks i gave up cause i thought it was more important to make christmas gifts instead of this stupid ball. but after a couple of months i took it up again and finished my first ball. so now, in february, i have my first christmas ball ready for next christmas!
here it is:

not exactly a christmas tree...

i'm quite satisfied, and i think i will knit faster as soon as i learn how to knit with two threads at the same time

i discovered this yesterday close to where i live. it is made by children from kampen art nursery (kampen kunstbarnehage). currently they have an exibition of street art, and this is a part of it. they also have a lace tree on the other side of the wall. i'll try to make a picture of it some other day. both trees are made by old stuff like sweaters, scarfs and tablecloths. keep up the good work, kids :D

bygdøy: oslo / november 2011

i've tried to make a kapibarasan 'cause i think he's so cute. 
but it was not very easy, i made his nose too big.

a four leaved clover!

i really don't know why i put this on a shopping sentre... maybe wishing the customers good buy and a happy bargain

fjällbacka, sweden / july 2011

i asked a friend for suggestions of what to knit,
so she suggested a boat. i've never done a sailboat
before and i was surprized it turned out perfect.

...and of course i had to put it close to the water
