Eksamen er skudt i gang, jeg har rundet den første side af opgaven - nu mangler der kun 9! Vi skal aflevere fredag kl 10, så der er ikke så meget stress på som tidligere eksaminer, hvor man skrev fra man fik udleveret opgaven og til kl 3 om natten, hvorefter man faldt i søvn, og forhåbentlig vågnede tidsnok til at læse igennem og rette de (mange) søvnige slåfejl, og derefter cykle i al hast til uni for at aflevere. Nu kan man jo ligefrem nå at tænke over det man skriver *G*
Men lidt afstresning skal man jo stadig have, når hovedet snurrer af viden er det rart at kunne sætte sig og strikke lidt... i går blev jeg færdig med en lille babytrøje fra "Strik til ønskebørn". Det er den samme model som jeg tidligere har strikket i lyserødt.
Men Netto-garnet (dejligt tyndt mohair) som så mange i webstrik gruppen har købt, skulle jo også gerne blive til en lille sommerbluse til mig selv, så jeg er begyndt på den søde "wickel-pulli"! Helle har strikket en tidligere, og nu måtte jeg bare have en selv! Garnet jeg strikker den i er lyst mintgrønt, og passer perfekt til min yndlings-sommerkjole... som har bare skuldre, så en lille slå-om-bluse er vist helt perfekt :)

Flower Basket Shawl
Finally! Done with the Flower Basket Shawl :) The pattern isn't that hard, I could easily memorize each row... but why does it have to be so easy to make mistakes when knitting lace?! You forget one little yo, and suddenly you have to rip 3 rows *sigh* This has been in the yarn basket, in the not-so-used-chair and in a bag for longer time than I've been knitting on it... having me staring at it, trying to make it behave. (well it didn't, I just got so mad at it, that I didn't want to let it win, so I knit, ripped and knit again. That'll teach it a lesson!)
Right now it's blocking on a towel, getting nicer and nicer :)
Pattern: Flower Basket Shawl from Interweave Knits Fall 2004
Yarn: Færøsk Strømpegarn, 80% wool 20% nylon
Needles: 4,5 mm
Finished measurements: 130 cm x 65 cm
I have enough yarn for another shawl, and I think the colour of the yarn (dark cold brown) is great for it... but I don't think I'll have patience to knit another one right now ;) So for now I'll just enjoy this one!

Book meme from Marjut
I've been hit by one of those meme-things, which I never thought would happen to me! And it's a tough one... Marjut passed it on to me :)
Total number of books in your house
I have absolutely no idea. No. We have a lot! And there are more at my parents house, since I don't have room for them in the apartment... maybe I could measure how many metres I have? *lol*
The last book you bought was
That must be "Rowan Classic Café" and "Rowan Classic Garden"... and "The Rule of Four" by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason. The last one I haven't had time to read yet, since my exams are coming up, but I'm really looking forward to it :)
The last book you read was
"Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown... everybody keeps talking about it, so I had to try! It was ok but a bit predictable... I still have the next waiting for me.
Oh and then I'm reading books for my exams, about Pauls letters to the Chorinthians and to the Romans...
5 (or 6) books you often read or meant a lot to you
that's really hard... there are so many! I've read most of the school library and the local library when I was a kid, and every new book meant a lot to me, since it was a whole new world to discover... I don't have as much time to read now, because of my studies, but some of my favourites must be "Winnie the Pooh" by A.A. Milne (how clever can a bear be?! and cute?! and funny?! so much wisdom in such a little book...), "Anne of Greengables" (for how many years have I dreamed of having red hair? *sigh*) "Det skal mærkes at vi lever" (conversations between Johannes Møllehave and Benny Andersen about life... beautiful. Makes me cry and laugh and treasure life.) and of course Tolkiens books... I know I have read The lord of the Rings, but I don't think I will get through them again. But I just found a little pearl of his "Roverandom" and I'm completely fascinated by his way of playing with words :) And then I'm getting more and more fascinated by the Bible... (I study theology) the more one learns about the texts and the background, the more interesting it gets. Sounds geeky, I know, I was surprised myself, how interesting it is ;)
Who are you going to pass this to and why?
Helle because she is a good friend, and it would be interesting to see what she answers ;)
Mette because then she can put even more in her allready interesting blog, which i love to visit!
Hanna because she is such an inspiring person, who i think must read some good books ;)

Posten havde store problemer...
Stakkels postbud, som proppede pakken til mig gennem brevsprækken i dag... den kunne lige præcis komme igennem! Det var selvfølgelig de to Rowan-bøger :) Behøver jeg sige, at de er endnu mere fristende, end når man kigger på modellerne på nettet?! Nu skal jeg bare finde den rigtige opskrift til mit possum-garn...
Der er sat totalt garn-købe-stop i øjeblikket (det er nok også meget sundt for mig *G*). Jeg har garn nok for øjeblikekt, og så har jeg brugt mine penge på noget vigtigere... I synes måsk ikke der er noget som er vigtigere? ;) Jo, som studerende med cyklen som eneste transportmiddel, så er den her vigtigere (ellers kan jeg jo ikek slæbe bunker af garn hjem!): NY CYKEL! Jeg kan hente den på tirsdag eller onsdag... og gæt om jeg glæder mig! Min nuværende cykel er 11 år gammel, og godt brugt... stadig en skøn cykel, men man begynder at kunne mærke, at Århus er en hård by for cykler :) Så den fortjener at komme på pension hos mine forældre på landet, hvor den kun kommer på skønne sommerture *S*
