Sock year 2013?

This year I think will be a sock year. I'm knitting january mystery sock in the SKA group (Echivera). I'm also going to tag along with Stickas sock knitting. There I will knit Dödergöks Mitered socks as I already have knitted the Monkey socks. And I also will tag along in Mystery Sock V: April Showers. So there are several socks on the go just right now.

I also have other knitting projects on the needles. First of all a baby sweater for a friend att work who is expecting in late may. And there will be more baby sweaters this spring. We are going to be grandparents again in June. And another friend is expecting in August.

I have also started all over again on Stickas Christmas mystey knitting Tindra.

2012 became 2013

My 2012:
Knitting: A liitle less than usual, don't know why but it was that way. Mostly small things like socks and so on. But I managed to knit christmas presents anyway.

Other thing: We sold Ms Smilla, our boat, in april. We wanted a bigger boat but as we shouldn't be in Sweden for a month during summer we decided to wait and buy one until we came back. One month we spent in  Western Australia visiting our daughter and grandchild. Three weeks in Hyden an one week traveling around.

 

 

 

 

When we came home it wasn't much of the summer left but we still missed our boat life so we started to look for a new boat. We didn't find anyone during summer so there was no sailing unless a daytrip with friends.

But at last, in october we found a new boat. Her name is Ms Almanda and you will find our blogg about her and our adventures with her here.

Blogging: Wery little I'm afraid, but I will really try to be a more frequent blogger  in 2013.

This was my 2012 in short. 2013 has started fine with me in a startitis mode in knitting:-)
Socks, shawls and so on:-)
But I also have ripped several UFO:s so there are about the same projects on the go:-)

A long worm?

trevlig helg i Uppsala med Sticka/only swedish this time

I helgen var det träff för alla Stickas lokalföreningsombud att träffas. Detta år var det Uppmaskan som stod för värdskapet. Tack till er för en bra helg. Vi diskuterade mycket runt Sticka och samtidigt fick vi inspiration till saker man kan göra i lokalgrupperna.
Men tror ni inte att jag lyckades missa att fota, men så fort några av de andra får in sina ska jag länka.
