Valokuvatorstai 81: Valinnan vaikeus

It was so difficult to choose a picture for this week, but here we go. Too many lovely scarves. Luang Prabang, Laos.

Oli otsikon mukaisesti vaikeaa valita kuvaa, kun olisi ollut monta vaihtoehtoa. Tassa kuitenkin kuvani. Liian paljon ihania huiveja Luang Prabangissa, Laosissa.

Project, projects

There are so many interesting things, that I really would like to do. We have actually some project going on in this house were we live. We (mostly my boyfriend) are insulating and painting the walls. This is an old Cork City house without any insulation on the wall and it could be really freezing here. At the moment they are white painted rough looking concrete walls. My main job is the job furnishing and finding something to hang on the walls. I have picked some important or some way inspiring pictures, what I try to get as bigger prints. I am also going to try oil painting after a long break and see if I could create some art made by myself to hang on the walls.

I have been a bit more productive knitter lately, but even more bought yarns. Everything I have been doing is something small; socks, mittens, wool hats and scarves. So I should probably report about my knittings.

I haven't got pictures of all the projects, but this would be the start. Before Christmas I knitted a lot and even more after Christmas. I knitted two pair of socks for my boyfriends family. My family is more knitting oriented and my mom is knitting for my sisters. So I thought they wouldn't need anything now. Here pictures of the socks I made for my boyfriend's mother and his lovely little niece. Both pairs are made of Colinette Jitterbug yarns.

This first pair of socks are for my boyfriend's mother. I got this pattern Little child's sock from the book Knitting Vintage Socks by Nancy Bush. However I changed it a little bit to fit to the yarn and of course match to an adult. These colours reminds me of crushed blueberries.

That little niece got socks from the same yarn, but with different shade. Pattern is just basic sock made by myself.

My boyfriend's aunt tried on that first pair of socks and said that she would pay me to make similar ones. So I think they were not too bad. :)

I will write about other projects later, but tell now something about ongoing projects.This bright red wool I bought in Blarney Woollen Mills. I am making a hat of that red wool and different type of white wool to use in the Cork hurling matches.Hurling season is starting soon. Unfortunately I will be a hurling widow then again. More later.

Valokuvatorstai "Jotain rajaa!"

Valokuvatorstai's photo this week. A male dog sleeping in front of the Tokyu department store in Bangkok. Strange sleeping position.

Uroskoira paivaunilla Tokyu-tavaratalon edessa Bangkokissa. Nukkuma-asento on aika mielenkiintoinen.
