It has happen a lot since last bloging, I got some health problem that I am dealing with, but I don’t have so much energy so therefore either my blog ore website has got any high priority. It is not to serious, just high blood pressure and Diabetes 2. So I need to change how I eat, at least every 3-4 hour and maybe get some medicine to get my blood pressure down. Then hopefully I will be back with my normal energy level

The puppies are now 12 and 14 weeks old and except for Indigo, they all have new home and live happily with there new families.

I had a puppy gathering Sunday 8 november, so here is some photos of them. I have been spinning a lot, but since I begin with a new drop spindle when new fiber come in house, non of them are finished plyed and ready for knitting. But soooon, there will be wonderful handspun yarn to knit with.

Habitata has startet Pay it Forward, so this time maybe someone write in my blog and that there also is coming something

Have you seen the movie Pay it forward? Haley Joel Osment’s character comes up with a simple idea to change the world. Give three good deeds, the person who receives it must pay it forward. An easy thing but so difficult. Somebody has taken this idea and turned it into presents. It’s fun to give gifts. I read about this in Habitata’s blog.

“I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I don’t know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week… but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.”
You can be a part of this, just leave a comment here. You can mail me your adress to daxidown AT yahoo DOT no

And here is the link to the Pay if Forward movement.

I got message that the yarn should arrive Wednesday, but today the yarn landed. I should rely not post it here, since I know a lot of people are waiting on more of my HK yarn, but I could not resist.
There was also some more kg then I remember I had orded, so I hope I know have for a little while. Maybe a few weeks

The latest news is that I have got in sock yarn in 80% Superwashed
Merino/ 10% Nylon/ 10%Cashmere this time I will keep some skein for my self I hope
Lace yarn in both 800 m and 1200 m on 100 gram, in 70% Baby Alpaca/ 20% Silk/ 10%Cashmere.

So time to get started

En kveld en liten gjeng bergenske (og innflytta ikke-så-bergenske) strikkekjerringer satt samlet, så fant vi plutselig ut at det ville være moro å lage vårt eget forum.
Nå finnes det selvsagt uendelige mengder forum, flere jeg frekventerer, men det helt perfekte forumet – som passer for strikking og hekling og sying og interiør og hage og, og, og – som i tillegg har en lett og omgjengelig tone, det fantes ikke.
Derfor håper vi at det er akkurat det vi skal klare å få til! Om du er nysgjerrig, finner du forumet her: Uformelt. Etter at du har registrert deg, må du godkjennes av vår eminente lederstab. Du kan skrive innlegg foran inngangsdøren, men må ellers smøre deg med tålmodighet. I de fleste tilfellene tror jeg det går rimelig kjapt.
Siden begge Luer for huer-generalene, Tittei og Kiwa er blant lederskapet hos Uformelt, så har luealongen flyttet hit. Du trenger ikke flytte etter, men må registrere deg hos oss for å følge med i alongen. Resten av bergenstøsene(og innflytta ikke-så-bergensketøsene) som har startet dette, er Anette, Dyveke, Lise og jeg. Håper du har lyst til å være med oss videre – vi har et forum i barndommen, så nå har du sjansen til å være med og påvirke!

Normally I post in english, but since this is a new forum we have open and it is in Norwegian, I just wrote it on Norwegian

Yesterday, I had knitting birthday. I got some lovely presents and we had a very nice evening

From Anette, a lovely skein with Manos silk blends and knitting needles

From Stine - Bris, I love Bris

From Janne and Kristin, gift cards at Pinnsvinsdesign
