* Green is Life *

Green has always been my fave colour ~ in all variations! I just found these wild strawberries in the forest and this pepper and salt dispenser on the fleamarket...

I like to watch TV, although I hardly watch....usually I do something else next to it, f.i. knitting, but now in Summer from Sunday to Thursday it is Columbo Night at 10 pm,

Columbo is cult and I especially like the very old series, I suppose, from the 70's. I don't know how many films were made, but they are popular and unique...so I will watch again tonight!

Another snap from the forest! See the lovely clover; also green...but also have a look at this sturdy snail. It was huge and fat and shiny black; obviously concentrating on its dirtdinner.

We have many snails here; they can ruin entire gardens and plantations. I think they are disgusting and fascinating at the same time...we have many different kinds here!

~ New Frog Pants ~

Today I was off to buy some flowers for my little roof garden and what did I find? Yes, Frogs again....think I will get me a bowl and have a waterlilly and such a little green guy inthere!

Yesterday I finished the first part of new baby pants, also a little froglike...accidently! Wool is a very good Schachenmayr Cotton that I got low priced because of the closing of our traditional warehouse!

More frogs and some dogs - see more pix and a video on www.gizdog.blogspot.com!

Help me!!

This lovely doggy needs a new home! I would take her immediately, but she is too far away, I am afraid....as far as I know she is still in Alaska! If you know somebody or can offer any kind of assistance, please do so, mail to finnskimo@hotmail.com; this lovely companion should get a good home asap YYY

The first leaves start to fall!!! This is my time of year: Autumn! There are rich fruits everywhere this summer, so probably we will get a real good cold winter, too. Today it was not so hot and sultry, lovely, enjoyed the day in a fresh breeze! I am glad that Summer seems to slow down now...

Foto Safari...again!

I almost forgot to place a new pic for Petunia's Foto Safari, so here we go...this is a ripe colza field spottet with millions of cornflowers and poppies...enjoy!

๑ Grisehale All Alpaca Hat ๑

๑ This was my first hat in a series of similar ones. I called it Grisehale Hat as it looks a little like a piggy's butt and tail. This particular one was sold to a lady in Oslo in the meantime. I have the pattern out at Ebay. Next winter will definitely come, so this Alpaca Hat will be of good use

~ Flying Bugs Hat ~

We have an invasion of ladybugs here; this inspired me to do this hat!!!
The top (grass, meadow...) is Lett Lopi (colour: celery), the fringe is a G-B Bamboo yarn and the edge is 100% Alpaca by Horstia. It is warm and cool at the same time, the Bamboo yarn regulates it... Enjoy!!!

~❀~ Boletus Cuffs ~❀~

These Boletus Cuffs were just finished. I had to felt them three times at 40°C, surprisingly often this time. Usually Lambswool surrenders quicker. They turned out quite ok, but I am not 100% satisfied...but I just love thinking of Fall! This is MY season! Summer's climax is done here and yesterday I found the blueberries leaves all yellow and dry. The berries themselves are super ripe, but it will be possible to pick some for the weeks to come. Other fruits are almost ripe, too, even the chestnuts by my frontdoor are getting huge early; soon they will - plop, plop - start to fall; the kids will rush to get them...mushrooms also start to peek out in the forest. I don't know much about them, so I leave it to others to harvest them....
