So I just finished Harry Potter. No worries, no spoilers here. But… it’s weird. There’s no more. I mean, no more books. Ever. No more Harry Potter. Except for the movies, of course, but it’s only a matter of years before they run out, too. And then what?It’s just like when the LotR movies stopped. [...]

Friday’s Feast
I picked up this idea here. It’s kinda fun, and if I can remember, it’ll be something I do every Friday. :)
Appetizer
Describe a toy you remember from your childhood.A stuffed seal that my grandpa got me. Forgot its name, though. It was just the right size for carrying under your arm, and for sleeping next [...]

Goodbye 88-4, hello 91-5!
That sounds kind of like some sort of code. It’s not, not really. It’s Garnstudio pattern numbers.
See, my very, very first attempt at a sweater was the DROPS 88-4 cardigan. And it went really well, after a few false starts. I even completed almost the whole back/front part:
I even started one of the sleeves, [...]

Best! day! evar!
Oh look! What is that? That is a receipt. A receipt for a cheque that I deposited in my bank. Yes. There was quite a lot of money on that cheque. It is now stored safely for my trip to Croatia.But what is this? That is yarn. Yarn that I have bought using a gift [...]

And now for something completely different.
Skulle jeg måske prøve et indlæg der handlede om strik, for engangs skyld? Og ingen snak om biblioteker? ;)
Jeg er kommet langt med min anden Retro Rib sok. Se!
So maybe I should try out a post about knitting for once? And no talk about evil libraries? ;)
I’ve come far with my second Retro Rib sock. [...]

*deep breath*
… okay. Stille og roligt. Uden at eksplodere.
Jeg fik mail tilbage fra Kommunebibliotekerne. Det var ret hurtigt, og det var da i det mindste noget godt.Der bliver en endelig bøde på 110 kr. Det viser sig, at ting jeg har fornyet før sommerferien ikke tæller med i forlængelsen af lånetiden, og derfor kan have en [...]

Jeg er virkelig ikke særlig vild med mit bibliotek lige pt.
Jeg har fået en rykker i min inbox her til morgen, om at jeg skal aflevere en CD som skulle være afleveret den 3. juli.Problem?? Biblioteket gik på sommerferie den 2. juli.Det her er aldrig nogensinde sket før. Bibliotekerne plejer at forlænge lånetiden, så man [...]

Er der noget bedre…
… end at tilbringe en stille og rolig søndag med at strikke, se “Buffy” og ødelægge højtalerne på sin computer??
Næppe.
Jeg er færdig med læg-delen af Retro Rib strømpe numero due. Så nu til hælen! Jeg vidste jeg nok skulle få drejet hælen i dag. Mwuaha. Tag den, udsætnings-trang.Jeg glæder mig sådan til den er færdig. [...]
