Space: Kaarina's knittings

September 14

I have a new hobby!

I found a good online game from the net. It's name is Tales of Pirates. I have been playing it a lot. This is as I haven't been able to knitt, do bead work or stitch with my sore hands.
I also got a new (my first) wheelchair to help me. I don't use it a lot. Still it is good to have when I can't use my hands and my feet are aching.
Tomorrow we are going to a 24 hour cruise with Ari and I will use my wheels there.
 
I will try to write here more often from now on.

What happened on February

 So February is gone also.
 I had a good month. I have been feeling quite good and happy. Had a few flue's. Got well quite quickly.
I knitted a lot and I also got new yarns from Sales.

 I have miss placed one yarn and that make's me angry as I started a new pair of socks and I need that yarn to finnish my socks. I believe I must buy some of that yarn again.....the only thing is that I'm not able to get the same color so my socks are gonna be quite different .

 I did start to knitt a pillowcase for my chair at our terrace. I hope to get it ready for summer. Started also to knitt a large shawl from the yellow acrylic yarn. I might need to buy more yarn for it...... still that will be needed at our summer house.

 The photo's of the yarn I bought can be seen in my photo's and there are also pictures from most of my knittings WIPs and finnished.

 Yesterday we had a craft meeting in town and we had really fun time there. There was a reporter also interviewing us. She asked if we relate to stitch and bitches. The truth is that we don't.

 To us it is easiest to meet in bublic restaurant. We had a kind of sewing clubs in Finland when my mother was young and they met in home's. That had a kind of seniority image and as we didn't feel the need to do our crafts in secret. We wanted to bring knitting and other crafts our to the open for all to see. We wanted to show that it's not only seniors that make things with their hands so we meet out in the open.

January 2007

My Janjuary was quite hard and didn't get much done. Had a flue several times and that wasn't good.
Found a new friend who is able to help me and I started to feel better at the end of the month.

We had a wonderful stash meeting where we we're able to get new yarn and things. I bougt some yarn and sold some of my Finmollies so I changed my works to yarn.

My friend helped me to get some books from a booksale and brought them to me I bought them for me as a coming birthday present. I got on book of knitting and one from stitches. The latter was a gift from a friend.
I also got some books from jewelry making will add to my Finmolly site.

I love the set I made for Iida. It was so was and beautiful. I also started to knitt a cover from those red chenilleyarn I bought at the meeting.

I try to take more photo's and write more often. In the future.
December 14

It's been a long time since I wrote here!

I have knitted a lot, the only thing is that friends have taken them before I could take photo's.
My hubby was ill and I spent all summer in town so it was too hot to be knitting.
These wrist support's I knitted for my hands so that I could do more.
March 31

Two new pairs of cotton socks.

I got the last of the three pairs that my friend asked me to knitt ready today.
There is a photo from two pairs as the first was taken just after I got it ready. Wasn't even able to take a photo from them.
