As you can read in my last entry I haven\u2019t been knitting for a while, but now I\u2019m inspired by my new energy and I\u2019m finally an active knitter again. My WIPs are stored away for now, and I don\u2019t think I will continue working on those projects for a while yet. All of them are garments that I won\u2019t fit again for at least two years, and so the motivation to work on them mysteriously disappeared. I\u2019ve also noticed that in these hormonal times I\u2019m not a very patient person, I like to see results quickly, and so I tend to choose smaller projects at the moment. Both the glimpse I showed you in my last entry, and the teaser I\u2019m showing you to day are from two pretty small projects, that will be finished and revealed soon. Speaking of revelations, I would like to remind you all about this<\/a> wonderful site. Ravelry is a knit and crochet community, but oh so much more at the same time. It\u2019s a knitter\u2019s scrapbook, a recourse centre, a pattern collection, a library, and the list just continues. One of the features I really like is the opportunities and resources available for aspiring as well as established designers. I really would like to recommend Ravelry to all of my readers who are at least remotely interested in knitting. You will find the patterns for both of my new projects in Ravelry, hopefully quite soon. Today I also would like to show you the one thing in our house that we are most proud of after finishing the renovation. We removed the old and not so pretty linoleum covering the floor in the living room and kitchen, and beneath it we found an old, really worn, but very cool wooden floor. We decided to keep the original floor and we painted it red with natural and ecological wood paint, and finished with three coats of varnish to make it smooth, shiny and easy to maintain. Look at this fabulous result!<\/p>\n

Som du kan lese i mitt forrige innlegg s\u00e5 har jeg ikke strikket noe s\u00e6rlig p\u00e5 en stund, men n\u00e5 er jeg inspirert av mitt nye energiniv\u00e5 og jeg er endelig i full gang igjen. De WIPene som jeg har fra f\u00f8r av er alle lagret trygt og godt p\u00e5 loftet, og jeg tror ikke at jeg kommer til \u00e5 finne de frem igjen med det f\u00f8rste. Alle er jo plagg som jeg vet at jeg ikke kommer til \u00e5 komme inn i, i hvert fall p\u00e5 de neste to \u00e5rene, og da forsvant motivasjonen til \u00e5 arbeide videre med de ganske s\u00e5 fort. En annen ting jeg har lagt merke til i disse hormonelle tider er at jeg har blitt en temmelig ut\u00e5lmodig person, jeg vil helst se resultater med en gang. Derfor velger jeg meg sm\u00e5 prosjekter som er raske \u00e5 f\u00e5 ferdig. B\u00e5de det lille glimtet dere fikk i forrige innlegg, og smakebiten dere f\u00e5r i dag, er hentet fra to sm\u00e5 prosjekt, som vil v\u00e6re ferdige og klare for avsl\u00f8ring om ikke s\u00e5 lenge. Og mens jeg er inne p\u00e5 dette med avsl\u00f8ringer, s\u00e5 vil jeg gjerne minne dere alle p\u00e5 dette<\/a> nettstedet. Ravelry er et nettsamfunn for strikkere og heklere, men \u00e5h det er s\u00e5 mye mer p\u00e5 en gang. Det er et fotoalbum og en notatbok, et ressurssenter, en m\u00f8nsterbok, et bibliotek, og listen bare fortsetter. Noe av det jeg liker aller best med Ravelry er mulighetene og ressursene som tilbys aspirerende s\u00e5 vel som etablerte designere. Jeg vil virkelig anbefale Ravelry til alle mine lesere som er det minste interessert i strikking. M\u00f8nstrene til begge de nevnte prosjektene mine vil du kunne finne der inne, forh\u00e5pentligvis om ikke s\u00e5 alt for lenge. I dag har jeg ogs\u00e5 lyst til \u00e5 vise dere det som vi er mest stolte av etter at vi gjorde ferdig oppussingen av huset. Vi tok bort det gamle og utrolig stygg gulvbelegget som l\u00e5 i stua og p\u00e5 kj\u00f8kkenet. Under s\u00e5 fant vi et gammelt og slitt, men kjempet\u00f8ft tregulv. Vi bestemte oss for \u00e5 beholde dette og malte det med \u00f8kologisk beis f\u00f8r vi la tre lag med lakk over, s\u00e5nn at det ble skikkelig blankt og lett \u00e5 holde rent. Bare se p\u00e5 det flotte resultatet!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
