Trying to figure out how to post pictures hasn't been that easy, but now I'm linked up with Flickr. Posted a bunch of pictures and wrote in Swedish, so here comes some comments in English.
This last weekend we had a snowstorm here in Minnesota. Got close to 20 inches, a lot to shovel. Luckily, we had a thaw last week that cleared some space for the new snow. After shoveling, my son and I made hot chocolate, which we deserved after the hard work.
There is also a picture of me with my newly finished swing coat on. I knitted it with my handspun yarn and I am mighty proud.
During the weekend, I also made saft (a kind of fruit punch) from black currents that I picked last summer. Full of vitamin C, good this time of year. I also dyed some wool that I spun into a skein of colorful yarn. And there is a picture of my sons mittens, made in a technique called thrummed. You knit in tufts of loose wool (the grey) that forms a fluffy layer on the inside. Extremely warm and cosy.

Gjorde dom här vantarna åt Stoffe. Dom är gjorda i en teknik som heter thrummed mittens. Man stickar in (det gråa) lösa ulltussar på insidan, dom blir supervarma!

Och ullen blev spunnen till det här. 41 gram och ca 100 meter, tvåtrådigt garn. Så ganska tunnt.

Stoffe och jag gjorde varm choklad med vispgrädde efter att ha skottat all snö. Det var gott

Snöstorm had vi i helgen, en halvmeter till fick vi. Som tur var töade det i förra veckan så det fanns lite plats att skotta snön till.
