Hats, mittens and a sock

Basic hat, idea borrowed from Tikru, yarn is Noro Kureyon.

Basic hat, yarn is Wendy's Fusion.

Another basic hat knitted with Noro Kureyon.

My mitten (s) knitted with Austermann's Soft Bambou.

A sock for our GD. The other one needs to be knitted before Christmas :)

Pikapäivitys/A quick update

Selkä jumiutui pahasti, nyt ollaan kipulääkkeillä ja sairaslomalla tämä viikko. (Lihakset on niin jumissa, että läppärirepun kanssa hengittäminen on tuskallista.) Koneella en siis paljoa ole, kudon vähäsen ja tuijotan telkkaa. Greyn Anatomian toinen tuotantokausi on nyt katsottu. Pipoja on valmistunut monia joululahjoiksi :) Kuvia ja tekstiä lisää myöhemmin.

My back's got some tension going on. I'm now taking painkillers and I'm on sick leave till next Wednesday. (The muscles in my back just are too sore at the moment. Even breathing hurts if I need to carry my laptop in my backbag.) I'm not spending that much time on my laptop, I've been knitting a bit and watching tv. I've now seen the second season of the Grey's Anatomy. I've knitted 3 hats for Christmas presents :) I'll add some photos (and some text) later.

I'm sending the last parcel to my SP tomorrow. I wonder if she's going to like all the things I'm sending her.

Tässä on isille tehty kakku. Rotat taitavat oikeasti olla hiiriä, mutta ovat nyt nimetty rotiksi. Namut ovat matoja :)

Here's the cake wee baked for Daddy (Today is Father's Day in Finland). The rats are really mouses, but they 're now named "rats". The sweets are "worms" :)

KTS4

Wow! That's all I can say! I'm totally spoiled! Becky really spoiled me rotten.

The parcel was quite big and heavy. I opened the parcel...

The yarn <3

The tea selection <3
Teapot and teabag squeezer
Biscuits and cookies
The sweeties

The book, card and really cute measuring tape (this will definitely go to my travel-knit bag)

Wow! Thank you!

Thank you Becky! You're the best!

Secret Pal, birds, muffins and chilies

Sain paketin Secret Palilta:)

Kiitoksia! Lammasmitta on loistava. Pitää laittaa se piiloon, lapset tykkäävät siitä myös :)

I received the second parcel from my Secret Pal :)

Thank you! The sheep measuring tape is brilliant. I need to hide from my kids, they like it too :)

Tässä on minun talvikamut. Here's my winter friends.

Suklaarouhemuffinsseja, vaniljakreemitäytteellä. Aivan ihanan makuisia!

Some chocolate chip-muffins with vanillacreme filling. They were delicious!

Kaikki chilit män roskiin. Kutsumattomat vieraat hyökkäsi niiden kimppuun :( Kokeilen uudelleen maaliskuussa. Tässä on satoa.

I had to throw all my chilies to the bin. They had some unwanted visitors :( I'll try again in March. But here's the harvest.

Talvi tulloo... Winter is getting here...

Jalassa Fleurilta saadut sukat, aivan ihanat! Mukavat, pehmeät ja kauniit. Minulla on ollut tuuria matkassa kaikkien vaihtojen kanssa. Salaiselta ystävältä sain ihanat sukat, ensimmäisen Hogwartin sukkavaihdon sukat olen melkein kuluttanut puhki, kotimaisen vaihdon sukat ovat ihanat ja nyt sitten nämä. Kiitoksia!

I've got a nice pair of socks on, the ones I got from Fleur. The socks are comfy, soft and lovely. I can't believe my luck with swaps! I got a really nice pair of socks from my Secret Pal, I've nearly worn out the pair of socks I got from Hogwart sock swap (the first one), I got a really nice pair from the Finnish Secret pal and now these. Thank you!

Lunta satoi jo. Talvi in ihan tosissaan kohta täällä. Linnut pyörii takapihalla, nauttivat siemenistä. Ollaan tässä asuttu jo 4,5 vuotta ja joka talvi laitetaan linnuille ruokapaikka.

There's some snow already. The winter is nearly here. The birds are flying around the back yard enjoying the seeds. We've been living here for 4,5 years and every winter we've been feeding the birds.

Lala, thank you! I definitely try to grow the seeds in the soap box next spring.

Becky, I'm still waiting for the parcel (I'll call the customs tomorrow again). I really like the Panda Cotton yarn, I think I'll try to knit some knee length socks with it. :)
