what?

You thinks it's been too long since my last update? No idea what you're saying...

I've been knitting quite a lot. And watched way too many episodes of Numb3rs. But that's ok. Right now it's fall break, so I have a lot of time on my hands! Not that I should be writing entries for my professional journal or anything.

In the last five weeks I have attended five concerts. Now that's something! Let me list them up for you: St.Morritz, The Ranger and the Unsuspected Stranger/Onkel Tuka, Kirk Franklin, Ole Børud, Garness. Not bad?

I'll just...you know...get back to my knitting.

another "Turn a Square" of Østlandsgarn

and two pairs of ribbed socks

wow

Kirk Franklin.

Praise God!!
Such a fantastic experience to be at the concert at Sentrum Scene in Oslo last night. Just amazing. He did all the good old songs we all love so dearly. We were dancing, clapping, jumping, singing our hearts out, crying, hugging, sccreaming, holding hands, praising God at the top of our voices...

Wow. That's all I can say really.
If you weren't there: You shold've been there!

Jesus elsker alle barna,
alle barna på vår jord.
Rød og gul og hvit og svart
er det samme har Han sagt,
Jesus elsker alle barna på vår jord!

Knitting

Lina was finished last Sunday.

Turn a Square is the hat of the month in September. I made it on Friday.

This summer i bought a sock-knitting-kit. But the pattern was boring. So instead I'm knitting the Clover Lace Rib pattern, which can be found in The Sole Solution. There's something I don't quite understand in the heel turn, it consists of short rows shaping. Maybe I'll get it right on sock number two... I'm at the toe shaping now, will finish it today, I suppose.

And I've started a new pair of socks in Østlandsgarn. Just ribbing all the way, easy peasy. I', doing it for the Two Nation Knitting Battle between Norway and Denmark. The Turn a Square hat will also be parttaking of the battle.

What's going on?

Two days ago I was surfing some blogs, and found a recipe for vegetable cupcakes. And I thought that was I fantastic idea, so yesterday I made a whole bunch! They're going to be my lunch for a while. They were quite good, I must say. I changed the recipe a little bit, I put in the potatoes and carrots without "forvelle" them first. Just let me know if you wanna come over and have a taste.


And this is how far my "Lina" is coming along.

And today I've ordered a massive amount of books from amazon.com and bokkilden.no. I've never ordered from either before, but there are others in my class who have got their books there. It'll probably be ok, won't it?

And last, I just found this fantastic video: Baby Preacher

Hello!

I've been thinking. This year I'm doing English at the University College of Oslo. My thinking is this: The more I use this language, the better I'll be at it. So, I've decided to write all my blogposts in English for the year coming. Wasn't that a great idea if I ever had one?!?

Yesterday I bought myself the Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary. I've been wanting it for years and years, and now, all of a sudden, I had a perfectly good reason to get it: I need it for school! Isn't that just great? I sure think so.

So far, Oslo has been OK. Haven't had too much to do, but I guess that will change relatively soon, as my first written assignment is due in two weeks. It's nothing big, just three pages. I'll get that done in a flash!

I bought a lovely yarn for the August hat in the KAL. It's a silk and alpacca mix, called Chiri. Really soft... And it's in a cold blueish colour. I'll have the hat done in a few days I hope. I better. Or else I'm out of the competition. I actually think I'm gonna make a go for it right now! I'll just show you a quick picture of the progress so far first:
