Started a new jacked today....

I think I mentioned earlier that I bought some "darker pink" wool yarn at a factory sale this summer. After some very busy weeks at the start of a new school year, I have had an evening "alone", just thinking of "nothing" and suddenly I remembered the yarn. I saw a pattern In a Norwegian weekly magazine, and I think I will try something "new", I have started! The yarn is different (supposed to be cotton, mine is wool) The gauge is different (I have now calculated and corrected it) and I have started! I think it will be my work for a long time ahead.

The photo show the pattern, but the photo in the mag was a bit different, I suppose I will NOT look so fancy in it, or at least I hope so.

60 yo women trying to look like an 18 yo, is not my favourite, LOL! (but I THINK I would like to look like 40 yo! Don't you agree?????? ;-))

Aud it looks very fancy, I like your pattern, I can hear the clicking of knitting needles all the way over here......

I was demonstrating today at the local Fall Fair. Lots of spinning weaving and bobbin lace as well as quilts, hand and machine knitting in the show. I was shown several very neat childrens cardigans, knitted from top to bottom on the machine. If I can get the pattern for it I will post it, It was so nicely done. I have some time to get the pattern, since you are up to your neck knitting your pink jacket.

I remember seeing a photo of you in one of your previous creations and think you will be a very good-looking 60 yo in this sweater.

Oh, that's beautiful! I keep seeing this kind of jackets in shops here around in Stockholm, but this is GOURGEUS! Happy knitting!

And you'll look the same beautiful Aud in this jacket, regardless of age.

Kram, hugs,

Hi Aud,

That sweater will look lovely on you. My Mom always said it doesn't matter how old you are if you like it, make it and wear it with the pleasure you had doing it.

Hugs,

Nora

I agree totally with Jan! I think you will look very pretty in the jacket, and not trying to look 18 at all. :o)

Peace! Gemini

I agree (again... I already agreed with Jan on the same thing. LOL).

Anna Maria, what does "Kram" mean? I ask because I have a nephew named Mark who was being silly and made his email address Kram... Mark, backwards. LOL I'd just like to be able to tell him what it means in another (which one?) language. ;o)

Peace! Gemini

Kram means... "hug" in Swedish :-) The most common ways to end a message to a friend are:

kram (hug) puss och kram (a kiss and a hug)

Kram,

Anna Maria

It's a trendy style in England too, and sold in shops that cater for older women as well. I can just imagine Honour Blackman wearing one, and she's definately older then 18 now.

Norwegian and Swedish are very like, we can understand eachother easy. But some words are different: Hug in Norwegian is: Klem We have the word "Kram" in Norwegian too, but here we use it to descibe how the snow is, when you can make snow balls from it.(humid and wet; opposite to cold and "flour like") Aud ;-)

That is beautiful, Aud! I'm sure it will look wonderful on you. And is very stylish - I have been noticing that type of jacket all over the place here in the U.S.

Ahhh.... sticky!! ;o) We usually say "It's packing snow!" meaning that you can make snowballs from it instead of it being fluffy.

Thank you for the Norwegian lesson too, Aud! :o) That is one thing that I miss from when I used to have my own chat channel on IRC.... we had people come to chat from all over the world, and most of them would teach me different words or sentences in their native language. :o)

Peace! Gemini

- "Te iubesc" means "I love you!" in Romanian. :o)
