Our stay in this wonderful city is coming to an end. I have to admit that though it will be nice to come home to Norway again, I really would like to keep on living in London. We have obligations back home which we need to attend to; I’m delivering my master degree this Christmas, and my Love has some exams he needs to complete. But to be honest, the only one being eager to go home is Nemi; she’s really looking forward to see her grandparents and her old friends again. Well we decided to revue the situation at New Year to see if we might go back to live here for good, or maybe we’ll end up somewhere completely different, time will tell. Anyway, at the moment we are busy packing our stuff and getting ready to move out of the flat. We’re moving out this weekend and we’ll be living at some friend’s house for our last 14 days here. This also meant that I had to go through my knitting gear, and just look at this. I brought just one project when I moved here, and had decided that I would only work on one project at the time. Since I was just staying for a year I didn’t want to end up with too much stash and no possibility to bring it back with me. Yeah right! The other day my Love had to go buy a XXXL bag that we could pack everything in. I’ve donated a plastic bag of yarn to Nemi’s nursery, the rest of the stuff is coming home with me.<\/p>\n

I know I’m really late completing my Sexy Summer<\/a> project, but look it’s almost done, I just have the finishing left to do. Now I’m going for a sexy fall instead, cause all the huge projects are packed away and will not be taken out again until I’m back home. To remind you all of how the final result is supposed to end up I’ll show you the picture from Vogue Knitting again, the Purple Perfectica dress is from the Holliday issue 2006. For my last days here in London I’ve chosen a smaller and easier to carry project, which I will tell you about next time.<\/p>\n

By the way, I’m going to the hospital tomorrow and hopefully my cast will come off, that is if everything has healed. I can’t wait to have my leg breathing again, and I’ve been really inpatient for this to happen the last week. So cross your fingers for me, please.<\/p>\n

N\u00e5 n\u00e6rmer det seg slutten p\u00e5 v\u00e5rt opphold i London. Jeg m\u00e5 innr\u00f8mme at selv om det blir hyggelig \u00e5 komme hjem til Norge igjen, s\u00e5 kunne jeg virkelig ha tenkt meg \u00e5 fortsette \u00e5 bo her i denne fantastiske byen. Vi har derimot forpliktelser hjemme som vi er n\u00f8dt til \u00e5 f\u00f8lge opp, jeg leverer masteroppgaven min til jul og min Kj\u00e6re har noen eksamener som han skal fullf\u00f8re ogs\u00e5. Men for \u00e5 v\u00e6re helt \u00e6rlig s\u00e5 er Nemi den eneste som virkelig gleder seg til \u00e5 komme hjem, hun er veldig ivrig etter \u00e5 f\u00e5 treffe besteforeldre og gamle venner igjen. Vi har bestemt oss for \u00e5 gj\u00f8re en ny vurdering av situasjonen til nytt \u00e5r for \u00e5 se om vi kanskje kan dra tilbake hit til London for godt, eller kanskje vi ender opp et helt annet sted… Hvem vet, tiden vil vise. Uansett s\u00e5 er vi akkurat n\u00e5 opptatt med \u00e5 pakke sammen sakene v\u00e5re for \u00e5 flytte ut av leiligheten her. Vi skal bo hos noen venner de siste to ukene f\u00f8r vi s\u00e5 reiser hjem. Det betyr at jeg m\u00e5tte g\u00e5 igjennom strikkekurven her i g\u00e5r. Ja, kurv og kurv Fru Blom. Og jeg som bare tok med meg et prosjekt n\u00e5r jeg kom hit og lovte meg selv h\u00f8yt og tydelig at jeg ikke skulle begynne p\u00e5 noe nytt f\u00f8r det forrige var ferdig. Vi skulle jo ikke samle opp noe s\u00e6rlig n\u00e5r vi bare skulle v\u00e6re her i et \u00e5r, og tross alt bare f\u00e5r med oss det vi selv kan b\u00e6re n\u00e5r vi n\u00e5 reiser hjem igjen. Vel, i g\u00e5r m\u00e5tte min bedre halvdel ut \u00e5 kj\u00f8pe en ekstra stor bag som jeg kunne pakke sakene i, jeg har donert en plastikkpose med garn til Nemi sin barnehage, resten blir med meg hjem.<\/p>\n

Jeg vet jeg er vel sent ute med \u00e5 fullf\u00f8re mitt Sexy Sommer prosjekt, og tror nok at jeg ender opp med \u00e5 satse p\u00e5 en sexy h\u00f8st i stedet. Men se, kjolen min er nesten ferdig! Det er bare det at alle store prosjekter m\u00e5tte pakkes unna, og vil ikke bli tatt fram igjen f\u00f8r jeg er hjemme. S\u00e5 montering og kanting f\u00e5r vente til da. For \u00e5 minne om hvordan denne kjolen skal ende opp til slutt tar jeg med bildet fra Vogue Holliday 2006 som viser Purple Perfectica i all sin glans. N\u00e5 i den siste tiden i London kommer jeg til \u00e5 kose meg med et langt mindre prosjekt, som ikke minst er litt lettere \u00e5 b\u00e6re md seg i veska. Hva det er skal jeg skrive om neste gang jeg er innom bloggen. <\/p>\n

Og foresten, i morra skal jeg p\u00e5 sykehuset og forh\u00e5pentligvis f\u00e5 av gipsen, det vil si hvis alt har grodd da. Jeg er s\u00e5 ut\u00e5lmodig etter \u00e5 f\u00e5 luft p\u00e5 leggen igjen, og ikke minst etter \u00e5 f\u00e5 lov til \u00e5 tr\u00f8 p\u00e5 foten etter seks m\u00e5neder p\u00e5 krykker. S\u00e5 gode tanker og kryssede fingre mottas med stor takk.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
