My sweet Rasmus has returned from New York 
I couln’t be happier And even though I had told him, that the only sourvenir I wanted from New York was him, he still went out of his way to find me something.
Scarf style from Interweave Press and Dali yarn from Knit-A-way
He knows I love to knit, that I mostly knit accesories and that I love red. I don’t think I had chosen these things myself, but I enjoy a challenge. There is a pattern in the book that I think will go great with the yarn. And hopefully there will also be enough yarn for a couple of fingerless glowes to match the scarf
This one is a keeper I tell you!

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!
