Cozy

This one snug in (whatcan you do?!)

And I have begun a vest, inspired by the "Fri hækling"-books. The book says: "Draw and cut a shape" (in my case a vest), "And make sure your design stays within the edges of this". That's it! It's a wonderful project.
Lovely collection. And here.

In Between

I love inbetweens. The space in which nothing is thought, nothing is spoken and every possible possibility stand vibrant and open. Not being defined. Being only InBetween. A mere glimpse in ones consciousness; focus on it—and it'll be gone.
A similar, but different InBetween is the inbetween of projects. On the satisfaction of having concluded something, comes an ever so silent holding of breath, before deciding what to make next. It is empty and endless in the best way. Followed inevidably by a roaring river of defining new projects. Awesome!
So. The Sweater:
And the perhaps-new stuff:

Elsebeth gave me these two books (Thank you, dear friend;). I looove them. They're completely 70s-groovy. No rules or patterns—"just-crochet-away-and-see-what-happens". Great!

There!

Very Merry Christmas to you all. I hope you and your families will have wonderful relaxing days with love and togetherness.
It has been so long since I have posted, and since I have skip-hopped along those tangled paths of blogger-world, and I miss it so so much. But between sorting out my head, my feelings, and the sweater (haha—I am now half a sleeve and one neck short of being done), I just couldn't oversee it. Now, finally, thoughts are beginning to quiet down, and I feel almost ... myself again:)

January 1st, I am starting my own business. *Yay*. I am happy and excited and a little bit nervous. I mean —I'm on my own now. No safe pay check by the end of the month, no pension, no insurance. But it feels right! Like there is no other way. And I am experiencing so much luck. I'm being helped in every possible (and impossible) way. Syncronicity. In all its beauty. I am deeply thankful.

It's probably a small thing for Mankind, but a huuuuuge deal for me, so please forgive the drama and secretiveness:))) But there it is. The beans, I mean ;-))

Thank you for commenting—even though I was absent. See you soon. I wish you the best of the best of the best of Christmases, along with peace and calm. Happy Holidays.

Change is coming

I haven't been very busy here lately—my mind has been preoccupied. In a huge way. Change is coming; it's exciting and breathtaking. And it is going to be wonderful. I'm sure of it. —not going to spill the beans just yet, but it won't be long:)
