Computer vrövl / trouble
-I´m writing from work, there´s something wrong with the connection between my computer and Blogger. I can go online for all other sites, but can´t come in here. The son in law will be called to rescue tonight. It´s especially frustrating since I actually have some knitting to show you!

Tagged!!!
- Jeg er en udpræget natteravn, men alligevel kan jeg ikke lide at sove længe om morgenen!
- Jeg elsker de tidlige morgentimer, når ingen anden er stået op, og så til gengæld kan jeg virkelig godt lide at tage mig en morfar i eftermiddagen, så jeg kan være længe oppe om aftenen.
- Jeg kan ikke lide kaffe, men drikker alligevel MEGET af det, mest fordi jeg sjældent får nok sövn.
- Jeg har katte, har haft i mange år, og mine egne katte synes jeg da godt nok om, men jeg kan ikke fordrage fremmede katte.
- Jeg kan ikke, hvor meget jeg end forsöger, forstå at folk har hunde inde i sit hjem.
- Jeg plages meget af kampen mellem to af mine störste karakterpræg: hyper-aktivitet og dovenskab, de arbejder ikke så godt sammen!
-I´ve been tagged by this lovely knitting-lady, I have to admit 6 weird things about myself!
- I´m decidedly a night-prowler, but I still don´t like sleeping late in the morning!
- I love the early mornings, when noone else is up, but then I also like to take a good nap in the afternoon so I can stay up late.
- I don´t like coffee, but I still dring A LOT of it, mostly because I rarely get enough sleep.
- I have cats, have had them for years, and I like my own cats well enough, but I hate strange cats.
- I cannot, no matter how hard I try, understand how people can have dogs inside their homes.
- I´m tortured by the battle between two of my strongest characteristics; hyper-activity and laziness, they don´t work so well together!
-Jeg sku egentlig have tagget 6 andre bloggere, men jeg tror de fleste allerede har svaret på denne, så hvis du ikke har og du er interesseret, værs´go!
-I should have tagged 6 other bloggers, but I think most people have already answered this one, so if you haven´t and you´re interested, feel free!

Årets förste projekt og gevinst / The years first project and winnings
-The first project of 2007 is done.
-Tre grydelapper, strikket af raggsokkegarn med nogen anden superwash uld til kontrast i kanterne. De er tykke, store og gode.
-Three potholders, knitted of bootsockyarn with some other superwash wool as contrast. They are thick, big and very good.
-Jeg var også så heldig at vinde nogle gange i Irene´s julekalendergætteleg. Og her er mine gevinster, smukt, ikke?
-I was also lucky enough to win a few times in Irene´s christmascalendar guessinggame. And here are my winnings, nice huh?
-I morgen viser jeg billeder af noget af min mors flotte patchwork projekter.
-Tomorrow I will show you pictures of some of my mother´s beautiful patchwork projects.

Nyt år, nye projekter / New year, new projects
-Kauni multicoloured and Evilla in a solid colour, will become a sweater for my husband. I won´t begin it right away, it´s still takin form in my head.
-The leftovers from the mitered square blanket + a bag I found with more of the green yarn (also used for the same blanket). Will become 1-2 kids´ sweaters for birthday gifts.
-Disse tre samlinger skal blive til tre forskellige sjaler/stolaer/törklæder til tre söde damer der alle skal få en gave i den senere halvdel af februar.

Det nye år er her! / The new year is here!
-We have a new year, for me a good opportunity to start new things and start over with older projects. I have, as you know, signed on for this group, and I have also committed myself along with Jane. I have decided that this will be the year when I learn to take a little better care of myself. I have announced that at the next general assembly in march, I will step down from the board of the Diabetes Association after having sat there for the last 12 years and done a lot of work. This autumn I stepped down from the PTA at the kids´ school after working there for 21 school-years in a row, ever since my oldest boy was in kindergarten. I feel I have done my civic duty with volunteer work, and now others must take over, I just have to practise saying NO! I hope this will give me more time to enjoy myself with what I love most, my crafting. I also have to take better care of my health. I´ve already mentioned the weightloss, but I have long struggled with problems with my stomach and digestion. These last few months I have been more and more careless with what I eat, so I have to make amends. I also have a genetic flaw on my spine and I have rheumatism and it is especially important for my wellbeing that I exercise regularly, but I haven´t these last months. That´s gonna change! I´m also waiting to be called in to the hospital for that eye-surgery, and if everything goes as planned my eyesight should improve, and that would make it easier to do all the crafting I so long for!
Summa-summarum:
- Ingen garnindköb fra 8/12 06-8/12 07, foruden de tre dage til strikkefestivallen. / No yarnshopping fram 8/12 06-8/12 07, except for the three days of the knitting festival.
- Vægttab, ca 8 kilo skal af. / Weightloss, around 16 pounds must go off.
- Ikke mere frivilligt arbejde. / No more voluntary work.
- Passe bedre på hvad jeg spiser, mht til min mave. / Be more careful about what I eat.
- Regelmæssig motion, allermindst hveranden dag. / Regular exercise, at the very least every other day.
-Önsk mig held og hep gerne på mig! Håber det nye år bringer jer alle hvad I önsker.
-Wish me luck and feel free to cheer me on! I hope the new year brings you all what you wish for.
-Sådan er så statusen ved starten af det nye år. / Status at the beginning of the new year:
Garnlageret er reduceret med 1.734 gram/The yarn-stash is reduced by 1.734 grams
Vægt pr 1.jan 07 / My weight pr jan 1st 07 : 80kg (around 160 pounds).
