Bien there

to take pictures of Ronja skating. It's been almost 15 years since I lput on some skates!

It's probably safer anyway to watch but my Ronja would really like to see me skating.

What's the worst thing that could happen to me if I do try?

I could fall, break my leg... and have lots of time to knit and read. hmm

For now I'll stick to watch and be proud.

Maybe people will think she takes after her mom when they see her skate so gracefully. Let them think.

The winter is also inspiring me to do some winterknitting. I finished my first pair of selbu mittens.

I used a pattern from http://www.garnstudio.com/.

The have some pretty patterns and a very clever website. The best thing, obvously being dutch, is it's free.

I did make some mistakes but maybe that is to bexpected when one is used to knitting while watching tv.

These mittens are to small for me, I made them for Ronja but as soon as I can lay my hands on some new yarn I'll make myself a pair.

Don't you hate summer?
