Yesterday my sister and I took the boat to Austevoll to spend 2 days at "hytten". So basically I have had a new chair to sit in to knit, and that's about it. Today was my mother- and stepdad's wedding anniversary, 19 years and they still don't seem bored with eachother.
The only dangerous thing about going to Austevoll is this really cute yarn shop that is only open 3 days a week. Everytime I go in there I end up with tons of alpaca yarn. Today I got 6 balls of light blue, and 3 of a bluey green colour. No real project for them, just had to have them.
We did go rather nuts shopping today. I also got moulds for making chocolate fondant cakes, and a blow torch. Have wanted one for ages, sadly I had to leave my old one behind when I moved from England. I also got some clothes, found a rather nice shop where everything was 50% off. I normally hate shopping for clothes (which explains why most of my wardrobe is filled with craft stuff), but today was ok.
I tried to start these socks, but failed about 3 times. Hard to get into a new pattern when you have 5 people chatting and drinking in the same room, so I think that's one for when I'm alone and have time to concentrate.
I did however make a rather 80's braided headband for my 17 year old sister. Will try to get a picture of her wearing it tomorrow. She has some nutty ideas at times, she thought she would finish it herself in one night, but as she's not used to knitting, it was rather slow, and I ended up doing 75% of it.
Better get to bed, got to get up early, can't miss the ferry or we'll be stuck here new years eve.
