January 2nd and my December/Christmas knitting is nearing it’s end. (Which took a lot less time than I thought when I cast on December 1st.)
I’m knitting a shawl called «nerven», designed by a danish designer who calls herself Lykkefanten. Knitting it in a - to me - new yarn, Filcolana New Zealand Lammeuld, in the colours grey (surprice!) and lime.
New Year’s Eve came and went with a bang (quite normal for Norway, really). But the lack of snow was unusual... We had a couple of inches a few days ago, but they rained away during the night.
The kids «killed» our gingerbread house on New Year’s Eve - and there’s icing, crumbs and pieces of candy all over our livingroom... waiting for us to come home from the in-laws.
These were the colours I used in 2019, according to the website yearofcolour.com. Lots of brown, but that’s because of my use of our brown floor as background for taking pictures for Instagram - or so I think... Will keep this in mind when taking pictures for 2020.
We went to the movies and saw «Frozen 2». The tone was very different from the first one, and A really didn’t like the stone giants.. but the level of grown-up humor was to our liking!
My mom bought some new lights for one of her outdoor Christmas trees - not realizing how «festive» they were. Well, I think it looks great! With all the colours and the snow. ❤️
Visiting one of my grandmothers I came across this little family of santas, which my sister and I made (with mom’s help) waaaaay back in the 80’s. Brings back memories..
Winter in Trysil - with the snow and sun. It’s like a tradition back home, to take a walk on Christmas Day.
I joined a knit-a-long this Advent - with one part of the pattern coming each Sunday in Advent. And the night before Christmas (lille julaften) all the ends were woven in.
And with a filter from «Frozen 2» I wish you all a Happy New Year! May 2020 bring you joy, happiness and lots of good times (and crafting time)!
