Men det gjør jo ikke noe, jeg risikerer bare å bli i skikkelig god form :-)<br><br><i>My partner had surgery on his left hip right before Easter, which means much of the practical work in the house has to be done by yours truly.

Hennes farge var blå, som dere kanskje gjetter utifra det jeg har laget. I tillegg til dette sendte jeg en stor Firkløver ( blått papir!) og en såpe fra Forever-sortimentet vårt. Men den var grønn, så det regnes kanskje ikke?<br><br><i>I have been able to find some time to sew also. In January I signed up for a <a href='http://siritullerusk.blogspot.no/2013/03/colour-swap.html' target='_self'>Colour swap</a>, and made both a table runner and a makeup-folder that I sent to <a href='http://vroomansquilts.blogspot.no/' target='_self'>Sharon</a> in USA.

og en av gavene må være håndlaget.<br />
<br />
Tjo hoo - dette blir jo både morsomt og spennende!<br />

<em>Cheryll from </em><a href="http://stitchingcubbyhole.blogspot.no/" target="_blank"><em>Gone Stichin'</em></a><em> has organized another fun swap. This time it is linked to colours.

<em>Something edible / Something smelly / Something for a room in the house / Something personal... <br />and ONE GIFT MUST be handmade.</em><br />
<br />
<em>Oh dear, this will be fun :-)</em><br />

Jeg har jobbet mye, både med høgskolejobb og <a href='http://myaloevera.no/alesund' target='_self'>Forever Living</a>. Jeg har trenet (!) et par ganger. Jeg har gjort ferdig genser til Smårusket (Mariusgenser selvfølgelig), kjolen min er ferdig, jeg har begynt på og blitt nesten ferdig med bursdagsgave til mor. Jeg begynte å strikke genser til samboeren ( passende bilpassasjer prosjekt). Jeg har vært i Oslo i barnedåp til min lille sønnesønn på 3 mnd. og samtidig besøkt mye familie.<br>...og blitt kraftig forkjølet. Hovmod står for fall heter det, jeg har jo lenge skrytt av at jeg ikke husker sist jeg var forkjølet...<br><br><i>This has been a very busy week. I have put in lots of hours both at my job at the University and my job for <a href='http://myaloevera.no/alesund' target='_self'>Forever Living</a>. I have worked out a couple of times. I have finished a new sweater for the Wee one ( she is not so wee anymore), my dress is done, I started and almost finished a gift for my mother. I started knitting a sweater fir my partner ( great car-passenger project). I have been to Oslo this weekend for my grandson's baptism and did some more family visits at the same time.<br>...and cought a bad cold. It does not pay to be haughty, I have for a long time bragged about not having had a cold for ages...<i></i></i></p><p class='bloggerplus_image_section'><div class='bloggerplus_image_section' align='left' style='clear:both;'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgugDVcliUCbsOyhC3frSavaruB2Gp_-eDlQU3ekO9qiVeg9k3PqdGIfPH_oSzDFh9ZwDnEC5Kgzdh4DerQOYeKINE2kJxmqStQLzjIVfdAT63hqDbK2EOVQP2xed8EWwxweJNbobbULaA/'></div></p><p class='bloggerplus_text_section' align='left' style='clear:both;'>Så hva gjør man når det eneste stedet man orker å være er i godstolen og man samtidig ikke har rast eller ro til å gjøre ingenting?

Så nå har jeg rigget meg til med koselig julestitchery (selv om det snart er påske), og med spennende lydbok på øret har jeg det i grunnen ikke så ille likevel :-)<br><br><i>So what do you do when the only place you feel like being is in the most comfy chair in the house, but still don't feel like being completely idle?

Det samme gjorde <a href='http://sy-elsk-lev.blogspot.no/' target='_self'>datter Marit</a>. Verken Marit eller jeg har tatt oss tid til å gjøre oss kjent med det nye leketøyet, litt redd for at maskina var komplisert og vanskelig å betjene.<br>Men nå tok jeg meg i nakken og satte av noen helgetimer. Satte opp overlocken, fant fram bruksanvisning og instruksjons-DVD, brygget meg en kopp kaffe og satte i gang!<br><br><i>When I was at the Sewing fair at the Norway Trade Center in December, I bought a Serger. So did <a href='http://sy-elsk-lev.blogspot.no/' target='_self'>daughter Marit</a>. Neither one of us have found time to work on our new toys, a bit afraid that the machine is complicated and difficult. <br>But now I decided it was time to get to know the Serger. A few hours were dedicated to the task, I got out the Serger, the manual, the instruction DVD, made myself a cup of coffee and started!<i></i></i></p><p class='bloggerplus_image_section'><div class='bloggerplus_image_section' align='left' style='clear:both;'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaZg0splGEaPuMO6TSO_Y2k2UWJjwIr-DhopOt1YfHTfia7yy0zzfGikKXXdN9Rgt8feW8FHZGvNUZgW8OzQ0UkxiswZdNBR0U0uizWeCosTXt4Tbl52OrZNw-JNCG9k7CqWEVaSpGbMI/'></div></p><p class='bloggerplus_text_section' align='left' style='clear:both;'>Det gikk igrunnen ikke så aller verst, og vi ble fort gode venner :-).

Veldig ny!<br><br><i>It went quite well, actually, and we became good friends rather fast. This was very much due to the DVD that I went through slowly and thoroughly.

Først fikk min eldste datter ei jente i januar, så fikk min samboers eldste datter tvillingjenter i mars, og nå rett før jul kom min sønnesønn Henry til verden. Mere babylykke kan man nesten ikke be om!<br>Det har blitt endel strikking til baby, sømmen og quiltingen har fått en liten pause.<br>Julegaven til den minste babyen ble en Mariusdress, så i en alder av en uke ble han en moteriktig ung mann.<br><br><i>Last year our family had a baby boom. First, my oldest daughter had a girl in January. Then my partner's daughter gave birth to twin girls in March. And right before Christmas Henry arrived, son of my oldest son. How is that for baby bliss :-)<br>I have been knitting babyclothes last year, taking a break from sewing and quilting. My Christmas present for the youngest baby was a onepiece knitted in a traditional Norwegian pattern that is very popular right now. At the age of one week, he became quite fashionable.<i></i></i></p><p class='bloggerplus_image_section'><div class='bloggerplus_image_section' align='left' style='clear:both;'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoYS9FCA2VHEAtFR0V_NDh-Te-NSvMhJPKIHyrFkcph-xm4LQZja68iirN5qaMQXg1dqh97bVcealS3V5VrQsby5u3Hn38WPfY41HYeDAl6stO4w3zhLIqO6TJDf25WaMhfdh63XcW35I/'></div></p><p class='bloggerplus_text_section' align='left' style='clear:both;'>Om det ble gutt eller jente fikk vi ikke vite før han var født (overraskelse, overraskelse!) og dermed ikke noe navn heller.

Jeg kan ikke huske hvor gammel jeg var da jeg lærte å strikke av mor. Åtte, ni år kanskje. Til å begynne med var det små gensere til dukkene mine, men da jeg var 12 år strikket jeg min første genser til meg selv. Genseren er dessverre borte, men oppskriften har jeg fremdeles. Akkurat den oppskriften viser jeg ikke her, men har lyst til å vise noen som er eldre :-)<br /><br /><i>I cannot remember how old I was when my mother taught me to knit. Eight or nine years old, perhaps. First I made things for my dolls, but when I was 12 I knitted my first sweater. The garment is long gode, but I still have the pattern. I am not showing this pattern here, but would like to show you some older patterns :-)<i></i></i></div>

Jeg hadde nettopp en liten ekskursjon på bunnen av garn- og ullkista mi. Der fant jeg oppskrifter som jeg hadde glemt var der. Noen av litt nyere dato, men også noen fra da jeg var liten. Og det vil si at de er sånn cirka 50 år. Nesten antikke! Denne genseren har nok mor strikket til meg en gang, selv om jeg ikke husker det. <br /><br /><i>I just had an excursion to the bottom of my chest where I keep some yarn and wool. There I found patterns that I had forgotten all about. Some were rather new, and some were from when I was little. Which means they were about 50 years old or so. Almost antique... My mother has probably made this sweater for me, even though I cannot remember it.<i></i><i></i></i></div>

Mariusgenseren er blitt veldig populær igjen. Den fant jeg ikke mønster til, selv om jeg vet at jeg strikket flere eksemplar av den og ga bort til slektninger i USA. Men jeg fant fire mønstre på Setesdalskofta. Flere generasjoner, som dere ser, og både med og uten den flotte broderte halskanten. Den sorte genseren på mønsteret nederst til venstre bruker jeg fremdeles, ca 30 år etter jeg strikket den. <br /><br /><i>In Norway, old traditional knitting patterns have become very popular again. When I was a teenager, I made several sweaters and gave my relatives in the US. Now I found four patterns for the same sweater from the valley of Setesdal. Several generations, you might say. The one with the embroidered collar is very special! I made the black sweater on the bottom left about 30 years ago, and I am still using it :-) <i></i></i></div>

Oppskriften under heter Eskimo, og er den første oppskriften til designeren Unn Søyland (som og har designet Mariusganeseren). Dette kom ut i 1952. Begrepet "Norwegian Sweaters" som utenlandske turister ser etter når de er i Norge started med denne!<br /><br /><i>This pattern is called Eskimo, and is the first published pattern from the Norwegian knitting designer Unn Soyland in 1952.

Jeg har noen gamle hefter med baby-oppskrifter som jeg har fått av mor.
