I must admit that my craftiness and urge to be creative doesn’t limit itself to just knitting 
When I was a kid and teenager I spend many hours cutting cardboard, like the to works below. On and off I take it up again.
For my grandmother and grandfather I have cut out a Christmas crib.
And for Rasmus mother I have cut out this one, H. C. Andersen’s fairytale The Snow Queen I hope she likes it. I am so happy to have a mother in law who is nice to me, that I just want to show her how found I am of her all the time!
Here are some pictures from the proces
I hope you all had a wonderful christmas!
Here is just a little bit of complete cuteness to help you de-christmas ;) This has to be one of the cutest websites ever! It is a site dedicated to Cute things falling asleep
I simply Cant count, so in casting on for these socks I used markers. 
I know it is silly, but I still managed to fuck it up the first time round. Second time round I used markers and had Rasmus re-count it the stitches for me (pour guy).
The cuff and the top of the foot has some light cabling. It is very easy to memorise and gives a nice effect.
I Used double yarn to make the socks extra thick and nice.
And here is the final result. They have been done for quite sometime, but I was waiting for a sunny day to get at good picture of them – but there seriously hasn’t been any days with sun for the whole of December!
The pattern, New Years day sock by Dipsy-doodle, is very nice at easy to memorise, but the yarn is not good match for the pattern I most admit.
I hope Tina, our dorm cook, likes them!

This week I visited Christiania’s christmas marked together with my sister and mu mother I thought I’d just show you some of the pretty things we looked while enjoying a glass of hot cranberry punch.
Wonderful stars!
Lovely shimmering Christmas ornaments
And here are some of the pretty things you could buy. There were also a lot of crap, like hash merchandise and what not.

As you perhaps recall I have spend the last 4 month as an intern at www.mik.dk – the news portal for museums of Copenhagen.
To days is my last day! And to do a sort of status I thought I would show you all the stuff I have helped create for the site.
I have made 4 inspirational trips:
- The mid-war trip, Copenhagen in the 1920-30′ths
- The Chinese side of Copenhagen
- The literature trip
- The scary trip
Appart from these trips I also made a full guide to the vinter holiday at the museum week 7 2009.
And mentioned a Christmas calender and a drawing course.
I can’t seem to decide whether I think I have done a lot in my short time.. But I don’t always think conditions where optimal. It has been really interesting to see how this cultural-world works and how much stuff is going on.

I just finished Harry Potter!
I started reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows this spring. I really loved the series when I was growing up, but I somehow got stuck on this last and final book. Perhaps I childishly thought that I could prevent the story from ending (especially with the ending I though inevitable) if I just didn’t finish it so soon. And also I was a little tired of the books being so similar – and slightly too actioned-packed (I could have spend lots of time just exploring the universe and the magic).
So how did I finally get through it? A good friend of mine gave me the audio-book version. It turns out that knitting (or any other sort of craftiness) and audio books are a perfect combination! It is almost like returning to childhood, when my mum used to read to me (actually she still read to me when I was passed 14, but never mind that).
In the end I really liked the series and the story turned out completely satisfying (and I am such a critical person).
But now I need a new “fix” for my story-listening-cravings to go together with my Christmas Knitmares (I am actually very productive these days)!
My drug of choice is another great fantasy novel that I somehow got stuck reading (admittedly, I am not much of a reader). George R. R. Martin’s “A game of thrones” is the first of 7 planned novels in the series “A song of ice and fire”.
So my fellow crafters and bloggers, what are you reading or listening to? Anything you can recommend?
Right now I can’t wait for the holidays so I can spend lots of time listening og knitting! Those will be the days!
Another thing I am really looking forward to: Christmas eve! I can’t wait to see my family open their presents! I am really excited about each and everyone! When the time is rigth I will show you what I am talking about! 
Okay – I’ll just give you a small preview of my makings this year! It’s a garment, it’s super soft, it’s a nice brown color and I’m enjoying every stitch of it!
