Winter came..

..but how long will it stay? And will it be another cold and rich in snow? Or will it be a warm and slushy one.. or something in between the two :) I'm hoping for one neither too cold nor too slushy.. I hate freezing and I hate moving through slush.. ugh!
On a happier note, I'm almost done with the flower sock and I'll get to try it on my friends foot tomorrow! I'll take a pic of it then :) The it's just the second one.. and the fluffy muffler and everything else from my knitting list.. ;) I think it's 2 socks, 1 wrist-warmer.. and then probably some new ideas :) but if you remember I already have 2 things done, this sock will be the 2,5th :D

Four days to the second interview.. we played at being interviewed and at interviewing today at the course, it is the only way to really learn.. :) gosh I was unprepared for the first interview last Tuesday! But they still asked me to the second! :) Now with all the tips I should be able to really shine :P
I have to think about what to wear though.. something that is both me and neat.. well, I already knew I can't go in what I like to wear the most.. sweat shirt and pants ;)

Oopsie, I lost myself for a while there.. started looking at Lana Pura.. yaaaaarns! :) always makes me drool :) oh well, I have a little stash at home already... :)
Just had to show two of my favorites, they are sooooo gorgeous! click on the pic and you'll get to it's page on Lana Pura :) The red-orange one might even be the right colour for a fire shawl, might need something yellower too.. one can always dream :)

 

Good night!

Snow! yeeey! :)

Update: it's not snowing anymore.. blue skies instead :)

Except that I still have summer tires under my car... oh well.. I'll get them changed one day :P

I always think of this book when it snows :) especially when it's the first snow.. :) And yes, it's by Astrid Lindgren and the illustrations are by Ilon Wikland.

Astrid Lindgren is one of my favorite authors (childrens books) and Ilon Wikland is one of my absolute favorite illustrators :)
Other than that I've mostly just read today :) "Igelkottens elegans" by Muriel Barbery (original titel L'élégance du hérrison). I really like it :) so far I've both laughed aloud and shed a couple tears.. :) and it touches both philosophy and culture, two of my favorite subjects :)
I have done a little bit of knitting too, I'm knitting a fluffy muffler for my sister for Christmas :) yes, I can write about it openly and show it too as she asked for it and knows I'm making it :)
