If you have followed my blog you know that I normally don\u2019t flaunt my commercial activities here. In that way I\u2019m not a huge fan of mixing work and pleasure, all though these days I have to admit that pleasure is a considerable aspect of my working life. It is difficult for me not to share what\u2019s going on with my shop, considering that my life evolves around this shop these days, and since many of you have asked for more pictures and wanted to know more about the shop, I\u2019m very happy to tell!
\nI had a fantastic opening day Saturday October 9th, most of all it was very exiting to see how all the hard work came together as everything was ready the night before. There are still some bits and pieces left to be sorted, but still I was definitely ready to open. The pictures show the shop on the opening day. We served organic wine and homemade cheesecake to the customers, and everyone that came by were very enthusiastic and positive about the opening. I really feel that the area has welcomed me in the very best way! <\/p>\n

Hvis du har fulgt bloggen min en stund s\u00e5 vet du at jeg normalt ikke bruker den til \u00e5 rope ut om mine kommersielle aktiviteter. Det er noe med det \u00e5 blande arbeid og fritid som jeg ikke liker, selv om jeg m\u00e5 innr\u00f8mme at disse to flyter temmelig sammen n\u00e5 om dagen. Det er vanskelig \u00e5 ikke skulle skrive noe om butikkprosjektet mitt, siden livet mitt bare dreier seg om det for tiden, og siden s\u00e5 mange av dere har spurt om bilder og ville vite mer om butikken, s\u00e5 vil jeg jo mer enn gjerne fortelle.
\nJeg hadde en fantastisk \u00e5pningsdag l\u00f8rdag 9. oktober, etter alt arbeidet som ligger bak s\u00e5 var det veldig spennende \u00e5 se hvordan alt kom i hop og ble klart kvelden f\u00f8r. Det er fremdeles endel sm\u00e5tterier som gjenst\u00e5r, men allikevel s\u00e5 var jeg definitivt klar for \u00e5pning. Bildene viser butikken p\u00e5 \u00e5pningsdagen. Vi serverte \u00f8kologisk vin og hjemmelaga ostekake til kundene, og alle som kom innom var veldig entusiastiske og positive til \u00e5pningen. Jeg f\u00f8ler virkelig at omr\u00e5det har gitt meg den beste velkomsten jeg kunne ha f\u00e5tt!<\/em><\/p>\n

Did you notice my sign on the counter in the corner? My beautiful sign is hand made by my friend Daley and his girlfriend Lizzie. Daley, who makes the coolest screen-prints ever at ConsumerRevolt<\/a>, screen-printed my logo and then Lizzie coloured in the colours painting it by hand. My sign is the most amazing gift that I will treasure forever! It was supposed to be hung up before the opening, but of course the workman cancelled our appointment, but a few days later it was hanging outside in all its glory.<\/p>\n

La du merke til skiltet p\u00e5 disken i hj\u00f8rnet? Det flotte skiltet mitt er laget av min gode venn Daley og kj\u00e6resten hans Lizzie. Daley, som lager de stiligste silketrykk p\u00e5 ConsumerRevolt<\/a>, trykket logoen min og s\u00e5 fargela Lizzie skiltet ved \u00e5 male for h\u00e5nd. Skiltet er et av de utroligste gaver jeg noensinne har mottatt, og jeg vil verdsette det sv\u00e6rt h\u00f8yt for alltid! Det skulle selvf\u00f8lgelig v\u00e6re p\u00e5 plass f\u00f8r \u00e5pningen, men h\u00e5ndverkeren avlyste avtalen, etter et par dager var det heldigvis p\u00e5 plass.<\/em><\/p>\n

Now, having taken the leap from yarn stall to yarn shop I\u2019ve added a lot to my selection of goods. At the moment the web shop<\/a> is quite moody due to an upgrade, upgrading is like playing Russian roulette, something is just doomed to go wrong. But it will all be sorted in a few days, and just to give you a little teaser about what soon will be in place, look at all these wonderful yarns!<\/p>\n

Siden jeg tok det store skrittet fra garnbu til garnbutikk s\u00e5 m\u00e5tte jeg selvf\u00f8lgelig ogs\u00e5 utvide nettbutikken. Akkurat n\u00e5 er nettbutikken<\/a> en smule ustabil p\u00e5 grunn av en oppgradering. Oppgradering av programvare er jo som \u00e5 spille russisk rulett, noe er bare d\u00f8mt til \u00e5 g\u00e5 galt, og det gjorde det… Men om noen f\u00e5 dager vil alt v\u00e6re som det skal, og her er en liten forsmak p\u00e5 noe av det fantastiske garnet man kan finne der inne!<\/em><\/p>\n

You probably think that I haven\u2019t had the time to knit lately, and you\u2019re absolutely right! But my wonderful Labyrinth was finished quite a while ago; I just haven\u2019t had time to get pictures taken and to show it off yet. But here it is, and I have to say, this is one of the projects that I\u2019m very pleased with. This is a sweater I\u2019ll be using a lot! Btw, I have casted-on a new project that so far looks like it will turn out just as successful as the Labyrinth, but that one I\u2019ll show you next time…<\/p>\n

Du tror sikkert at jeg har hatt det alt for travelt til \u00e5 strikke i det siste, og du har helt rett! Men min Labyrinth var faktisk ferdig for en god stund siden, jeg har bare ikke hatt tid til \u00e5 f\u00e5 tatt bilder og vist den frem. Her er den, og jeg m\u00e5 si at jeg er veldig forn\u00f8yd med resultatet, dette er en genser som vil bli brukt mye! Forresten, s\u00e5 har jeg lagt opp et nytt prosjekt som jeg s\u00e5 langt ogs\u00e5 tror vil bli veldig vellykket, men det f\u00e5r jeg vise frem neste gang…<\/em><\/p>\n
