Look! Look! Isn't it a beauty (the shirt I mean) Shirtsofberlin.de really can design and print.
Sain uuden paidan - lisää Shirtsofberlin.de:ssa.
I was looking trough my knitting box, and other places where I keep my knitting, and found some projects that have been "sleeping" for some while. And some projects I am working on this moment. More photos you'll find in Flickr.
Jokusia töitä tällä hetkellä puikoilla. Lisää kuvia Flickrssä.
Here the Sauna-sukka - I knitted the second repeat of the pattern and will now start the heel flap.
Tässä Sauna-sukka - varsi on valmis, seuraavaksi kanta!
There's a new knitting group meeting every Tuesday at Borders bookshop in the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre. We start around 7 - 7.30 pm. Everyone's welcome!
Kuvia uudesta neulontapiiristä läheisessä kirjakaupassa/kahvilassa.
My cousin left for a holiday, and as she has a car but no permanent parking space, whe brough her car over to our place (we have a parking spot but no car). She was also kind enough to let us use it while she's gone. So, of courise, when Saturday arrives, we pack our stuff and get going. To County Wicklow, the Wicklow Mountains and Glendalough.
Serkkuni lähti lomille ja jätti auton parkkiin pihallemme - oli vielä niin mukava että lupasi, että saamme käyttää sitä. No totta kai heti lauantaina oli lähdettävä matkaan. Menimme Wicklow'n maakuntaan, Wicklow'n vuorille ja Glenalough'iin.
It was a beautiful one-day-trip, well we started early. There was a lot of walking in Glendalough, and more beautiful scenerey as we drove back up to Dublin via Arklow and Wicklow. Here's some photos for you (after Read More)
Se oli ihana päivän reissu, lähdimme tosin aikaisin. Kävelimme Glendalough'ssa, ja ajoimme maisemareittiä Arklow'n ja Wicklow'n kautta takaisin. Tässä kuvia (Read Moren jälkeen):
While Nic was on the road, I decided to knit and felt him a pair of bootees, or houseshoes, or how do you call them. See, my sister had knit and felt these bootees for me, and they are of course especially warm and comfortable on our cold floors. So Nic had asked for a pair.
While in Finland, me and my sister went hunting for the same yarn she had knit mine with, but unfortunately that wasn't available in the shops we had access to. So I decided to risk it, bought a few other sorts of felting wool and started experimenting after returning to Ireland.
After some unsuccessful / not-so-successful experiments I decided just to take the same pattern my sister had used, and work it with one of the yarns. Unfortunately, the pattern said use 5,5 mm needles. The yarn said use 8-10 mm needles!
My camera's been taken... by Nick, to Germany, where he is on holiday. So I have no means to post any new photos. SoI'll just link to Flicr, where I have a few photos of my Sauna-socks.
Kamerani on viety! Nickin toimesta Saksaan lomamuistoja tallentamaan. Minulla ei ole siis t'llä hetkellä mitään keinoa ottaa kuvia kutomisistani, joten linkitän pari Sauna-sukkakuvaa Flickriin.
Here's one of them in wild nature: Link

A few more moments from Finland. I picked these blueberries myself! You don't believe me? I have hands to prove it:
Nämä mustikat poimin itse! Etkö usko? Katsopa näitä!
On Monday the heat rose up to 29 degrees Celcius, so a trip to the beach to sunbathe and lake-bathe was mandatory. It was wonderful, even though I din't get too much color.
Maanantaina lämpötila nousi paikoin 29 asteeseen, jolloin jopa minä valkonaama lähdin rannalle grillaamaan nahkaani. Oli ihanaa, vaikka paljon väriä en tainnut saadakaan.
On Wednesday it was time to go. I got a few nice shots of the Finnish Archipelago, said to be one of the most beautiful in the world.

I'm back from my little holiday in Finland! I left last week's Friday, and returned on Wednesday afternoon. It was really lovely there, I had luck with the weather and was meeting so many friends after a while - one after 8 years! Here's some bits of the trip.
Palasin lomaltani Suomesta! Lähdin viime viikon perjantaina, ja tulin keskiviikkona. Oli ihanaa, sää oli mahtava ja tapasin laumoittain ystäviä pitkästä aikaa - yhden jopa kahdeksan vuoden tauon jälkeen! Tässä kuvia.
