During the Nobel festivites, which is broadcast live on Swedish television, I knitted a hat. I needed a new hat since I lost 2 hats during this autumn. 3 1/2 hours of straight forward knitting.

Christmas Eve morning. I'm getting ready to spend Christmas eve with friends. I hope you have a great Christmas.
Happy Holidays!
Have have been ready for christmas for weeks, so this evening I couldn't restrain myself any longer. The tree is up and dressed. Record breaking early for me. In my home it usual goes upp December 22 or 23. The tree is a plastic fantastic tree. New for the year. The old one broke down after 10 years when I undressed it last January. This year I also changing colour on the Christmas baubles. I have been a blue and silver girl since mid 90s. And this year I decided it was time to change to red!
But this year the colour red is out. Red baubles are not in fashion according to the big deppartment stores in Stockholm. White and silver are in fashion this year. So I had to run around in many stores before I found some red ones.
Next time I will show you some more decorations around the apartment!
It's that time of year again, it's Lucia! And we celebrated as usual with a choir singing to us at work. It's always a joy to watch and it's always makes me cry a bit.
December 13 (if it's a working day) starts of with this and after we have coffee and Lusse buns & ginger bread cookies to eat. A perfect way to start of a work day.
I started this shawl during the All Saint's weekend in early November and I finished it really fast, in 17 days, even though this is a huge shawl. November was really a month with really bad vibes - so to stay sane I knitted like crazy.
