\nAs a blogger I was so honoured to receive this nomination as a Rockin’ Girl Blogger! I always hope that what I write will have some interest for those who read my blog. I put quite an effort in my writing trying to inspire new thoughts, and of course to preach the gospel of knitting. Thank you so much Guri<\/a> who gave me this wonderful prize. And so it\u2019s time for me to point out five new receivers of the title Rockin’ Girl Blogger. Now you guys have to pick five of your favorite blogs and pass on the title.<\/p>\n
The lovely Miss Pixieriot<\/a>, it\u2019s just wonderful to see her creativity expand.<\/p>\n Mel\u2019s Pipe Dreams and Purling Plans<\/a>, highly aesthetic and thoughtful, and lots and lots of pictures. <\/p>\n Lise\u2019s blog<\/a>, this woman just takes extraordinary wonderful pictures.<\/p>\n Lillefix<\/a>, this is the blog of a true artist. Unfortunately she writes just in Norwegian. <\/p>\n And though I know she has been nominated earlier I still have to give her the prize again. It\u2019s always a joy to read Sylvia\u2019s Ost, Kjeks og R\u00f8dvin<\/a> (Cheese, Crackers and Red wine). It\u2019s a shame that it\u2019s just the Norwegian speaking who are privileged to take part in her happy writing. <\/p>\n I love gifts, even if I have to pay for the gift my self. There is something very joyful with receiving a gift in the mail and unwrapping it. Lately I\u2019ve been so happy to receive not one or two, but three gifts in my mailbox. The first one I told you about in my last entry, and see what I have to show you, now this is what I call lovely gifts! One is from my Secret Friend from the gift-swapping circle at the Norwegian DinHobby<\/a>, four skeins of pinkypink arty yarn and a very nice butterfly card. The other is my first (of many I can promise you) order from the wonderful Miss Pixierot<\/a>. She had the idea of dying yarn with colourways inspired by David Bowie<\/a> and Clash<\/a>, then she expanded her empire and developed her own store<\/a>! Look how pro she has become with business cards and everything. I ordered the really cool \u201dget real\u201d which I plan to turn into socks for my self after I finish the ones I\u2019m making for Kay. The lovely Pixie also threw in a few magnets and a stitch marker as well, which I really appreciate. Thanx P!<\/p>\n Speaking of socks…this is how far I\u2019ve come working on The Gentleman Socks<\/a>. I know it\u2019s not very far, and yes it is the first sock, still have one more to go after this one. But still, very nicely done, if you ask me. I\u2019m actually quite thrilled with how neat the result is as the pattern is growing on my sticks. Now, the reason for not knitting that much lately is that I\u2019m busy redecorating my house, and that is what I will tell you about in the next entry. The living room is coming along quite well; expect lots of pictures.<\/p>\n Flotte Miss Pixieriot<\/a>, hennes kreativitet er enorm. Engelsk blogg.<\/p>\n Mels Pipe Dreams and Purling Plans<\/a>, veldig estetisk og tankefull, og mange mange bilder. Engelsk blogg. <\/p>\n Lise\u2019s blogg<\/a>, denne damen tar bare helt fantastiske bilder.<\/p>\n Lillefix<\/a> er en sann kunstner.<\/p>\n Og selv om hun har v\u00e6rt nominert tidligere s\u00e5 m\u00e5 jeg bare gi denne tittelen til henne en gang til. Det er alltid en fryd \u00e5 lese Sylvias Ost, Kjeks og R\u00f8dvin<\/a>. Bedre hum\u00f8r skal du lete lenge etter.<\/p>\n Jeg elsker gaver! Ogs\u00e5 de som jeg har betalt for selv. Det er noe spesielt frydefullt med \u00e5 f\u00e5 en pakke i posten og \u00e5pne den. I det siste s\u00e5 har jeg v\u00e6rt s\u00e5 heldig at jeg har f\u00e5tt, ikke en eller to, men hele tre gaver. Den f\u00f8rste skrev jeg om i det forrige innlegget mitt, og bare se hva jeg n\u00e5 har \u00e5 vise frem! Den ene er fra min hemmelige venn p\u00e5 DinHobby<\/a>, fire n\u00f8ster med skikkelig rosa kunstgarn og et skj\u00f8nt sommerfuglkort. Den andre er den f\u00f8rste (av mange kan jeg love) ordren min fra flotte Miss Pixierot<\/a>. Hun hadde en id\u00e9 om \u00e5 farge garn inspirert av musikken til David Bowie<\/a> og Clash<\/a>, etter dette ville fantasien ingen ende ta og n\u00e5 har hun \u00e5pnet egen butikk<\/a>. Se hvor proff hun har blitt med visittkort og det hele. Jeg bestilte r\u00e5t\u00f8ffe \u201cget real\u201d som jeg planlegger \u00e5 forvandle til et par sokker til meg selv etter at jeg er ferdig med det paret jeg lager til min Kj\u00e6re. I tillegg fikk jeg h\u00e5ndlagde magneter og en kjempefin maskemark\u00f8r, noe jeg setter ordentlig pris p\u00e5. 1000-takk P!<\/p>\n

\nFor det f\u00f8rste s\u00e5 m\u00e5 jeg be om unnskyldning til all mine lesere for at jeg ikke har skrevet her inne p\u00e5 ei stund. N\u00e5r man har v\u00e6rt i utlandet et \u00e5r s\u00e5 forplikter det \u00e5 komme rundt \u00e5 si hallo etter at man har kommet hjem. S\u00e5 i det siste har vi v\u00e6rt p\u00e5 bes\u00f8k til familie og venner, uten Internett forbindelse. N\u00e5 er ferien derimot over og jeg lover \u00e5 komme sterkt tilbake.<\/p>\n
\nJeg er s\u00e5 be\u00e6ret over \u00e5 ha blitt nominert til Rockin’ Girl Blogger. Jeg h\u00e5per alltid at det jeg skriver om kan v\u00e6re til interesse, og jeg arbeider ganske hardt med teksten for at den skal v\u00e6re inspirerende. Tusen takk skal du ha Guri<\/a> for at du ga meg denne prisen. S\u00e5 er det min tur til \u00e5 gi tittelen Rockin’ Girl Blogger videre. N\u00e5 m\u00e5 dere utvalgte v\u00e6re flinke \u00e5 velge ut fem av deres favoritt blogger og gi tittelen videre til dem.<\/p>\n
