This is life right now. Don't be fooled, things are
pretty good and I am extremely grateful for that. As long as I manage <i>not</i> to
think about how things were <i>supposed</i> to be and how plans <i>did not</i>
work out and how disappointed I am in myself. Which is, thank goodness,
most of the time.</div>

In the end, it is just another step in a mysterious journey
called „growing up“. This too shall pass and one day we will laugh about it.
Today may not be that day, but to quote my current favorite song of all times: „hold your head up high / to the end of our time for the
rest of our lives“*</div>

Whoever posts the correct answer (country and name of town
is sufficent) in the comments until, let's say, Sunday night, will receive a
free copy of one of my knitting patterns. Just pick one and give me your
Ravelry name.<o:p></o:p></div>

It rained during that night and in the morning the laundry I
had so carefully draped over my tent was wetter than before. The weather
forecast had more rain and maybe even a bit of a storm coming for that day, but
my feet were itching to move on. Geared up in rainy pants and jacket I followed
the road, stopping at every other bus stop that provided a bench and roof. My
food was running low and the rain was getting stronger. I passed the border to
Finnish Lapland and took a break at an old gas station which was supposed to
have a shop, but the building was deserted and rather run down. I had already
walked 15 km that day and thought about camping under the roof of the gas
station (saving energy and thereby food), but when I walked around the building
to find a good spot to pee, all of a sudden something felt utterly wrong about
this place. I could not make myself stay, even though I could see the bad
weather coming.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I marched on in pouring rain with a storm approaching, my
face and hands were tingling and I was soaked to the bone. When the supermarket
which was advertised for on a big poster next to the road did not come, I
finally gave up, set my backpack down in a bus stop and sticked out my thumb.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I must admit that I had tried to trick fate into doing me a
favour that day. Mark the single most important Rule of Being Outside:<o:p></o:p><br />
<b>Do not do that. </b>Like, EVER. If there is no shelter in
sight, keep low and know your place in the order of things. Otherwise, fate
will kick you in the balls. In order to be seen from the road, I had to stand
in a deep puddle of water with lightning directly above me. Not. Good.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Twentysix cars rushed by before a nice old man who did not speak
any English or Swedish picked me up and drove me 25 km to Kemi, where he
dropped me off at a shopping mall. To me, coming directly from the cold and
rain, tired and soaked as I was, it looked like the high temple of consumerism.
I laid out my sacrifice of paper and metal to the priestess and got in return
the promise of a warm meal (and a Snickers).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In town I met Christophe from Luxembourg, who was
hitchhiking to Inari in the north east of Finland. He joined me in the quest
for a hot shower and fresh socks, both of which we found at the local campsite.
We had dinner behind the lavatories (the only place where the gas stoves would
burn, it was still super windy), drank cheap Finnish beer, dried our stuff and
had a little party in the girls' shower, talking about life until after
midnight. Sometimes I still wonder that all of this happened in just one day.<o:p></o:p></div>

The next day I said goodbye to Christophe and took the bike lane in the direction of Tornio. The tent was wet, it was
raining again and my feet hurt like hell. After just 6 km I took a break at the
deserted Kemi Tornio Airport and waited for the rain to stop, which it didn't.
I pitched the tent under the canopy to let it dry, and when the airport was
still closed a few hours later and nobody came to shoo me away, I ate a cup of
ramen, lay down in my sleeping bag and went to sleep then and there. Nobody
even noticed.<o:p></o:p></div>

In the morning the rain had stopped, but the ground was
still muddy and not at all tent-able. My right ankle produced a grinding
feeling with every step. After a few kilometres my foot and shoulder hurt so
badly that I decided to hitchhike, but it was Sunday and apparently I looked
neither cute nor desperate enough to be picked up.<o:p></o:p></div>

Which was the point when resignation turned to
determination. The only question was who would win: head or pain. Eating all
the chocolate I had left and listening to far too loud music, I dragged my
hurting self the longest 23 km I had ever walked. When the sign announcing
Tornionjoki („my“ river to follow north from there on) came in sight, I started
crying right there in the middle of town.</div>

The days were filled with sitting around looking out of
windows, knitting, eating, and watching the kids play outside. I met Florian
from Bremerhaven with his bike who in return had met Christophe in Rovaniemi a
day earlier. Even the one kilometre to the supermarket and back was so
exhausting that I refrained from exploring the surroundings further. I came to
love the proper Scandinavian sauna and spent as much time there as possible.
„Sauna ist toll“, I wrote in my notebook.<o:p></o:p></div>

The other thing I designed and knit during Christmas break is a generously sized wrap. Years ago, when the trend for oversized scarves was big, I would greet it with smiles and stick with my same old plain and light fleece scarf. Now that silhouettes are changing again (and the nights drop below -10 °C), I finally got one myself - and love it.</div>

It all started with a parcel of Malabrigo yarn that my father brought when he visited in October. I had only worked with Malabrigo sock and lace yarns before and wanted to try something new. The one skein of <a href="http://malabrigoyarn.com/pattern-arroyo-14#.WLbzwa3Jgdg">Arroyo</a> went into <a href="http://with2hands.blogspot.no/2017/02/new-patterns-perm-cowl.html">Perm</a>, the three skeins of <a href="http://malabrigoyarn.com/merino-worsted-30#.WLbzv63Jgdg">Worsted</a> went into this wrap. </div>

With 32 cm it's a bit wider than your average scarf, a feature I have come to love most about it. Sometimes when a scarf is too narrow, you spend most of your time outside readjusting your scarf and being afraid to moove too much because it could bare the back of your neck. This one your wrap around once and are good to go. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The pattern is suuuuper easy and uses just the two basic stitches - knit and purl. After a repeat or two you won't even need the chart anymore because it's so easy to remember. The top and bottom end feature a small section of ribbing and the sides have a garter stitch edge to give it a clean border. Needless to say that the pattern is also reversible and looks great on both sides (always a plus with things that are worn around the neck). </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The directions use a combination of written-out instructions and a chart. But since a lot of people don't like to use charts (hello, US of A), I also included a complete written-out version. I even put in a kind of recipe at the end if you like the pattern but need a different size. Using that recipe you can make anything from a children's scarf to a full-sized blanket.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have to say that I really really like the wrap and even though it's a very simple design, I am kinda proud of it. When something looks very elaborate and complicated it's easy to hide minor flaws, but with plain stuff you have to do it right or it will show. And right now, I can't think of anything I would do differently if I knit it again. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The pattern is <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/winkelgasse-wrap">available through Ravelry</a> for 3.90 Euros. By now, Ravelry is also selling to non-Ravelers via Facebook and Google, so you don't even need an account! If you have any questions concerning the pattern or purchase, drop me a note and I will get back to you :) Happy knitting!</div>

Over the Christmas holidays I have been working on two new designs which are finally ready for the public. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first one is called Perm. It's a cowl design featuring a wide lace panel and a narrow xox-cable. This combo seems to be quite popular on Ravelry right now and I wanted to give it a try. I've never worked with Malabrigo Arroyo before so I ordered only one skein to play with. Let me tell you, it has a great stitch definition and is a dream to work with. It's super soft and the colours are great too. Knit as-is, the cowl takes just one skein, but since the design is modular, you can adjust both circumference and length to your yardage and preferences (think a wide wrap-around-two-times loop!). </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I admit that the colour is not my usual pick (it's 131 Sandbank), but it shows off the texture nicely and apparently it looks great during photoshoots on frozen beaches in wintertime. Needless to say that while looking super comfortable and confident and not at all freezing to death in the pictures, a pair of snow pants was wrapped around my knees and my fingers felt like little icicles. #amodel'slife</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you like the cowl and want to knit your own, the pattern is <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/perm-cowl">available through Ravelry</a> for 3.90 €. Frozen beaches and red noses are not included, but a chart and a complete written-out transcription of said chart is. Since I know that some people are not too comfortable knitting from charts (while others, including myself, love it), you can just choose the version you like most. Additional information like yardage, gauge, and sizes, are available on Ravelry. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Happy knitting :)</div>

Sometimes the man and one of his colleagues have work meetings in our living room, which happens to also be the room where I keep my crafty stuff. One day said colleague came over to my desk and began patting some wool I had hung from a shelf to dry. She liked what she saw and we began to chat about knitting and other fiber-related things. Is that... yes, that sweater is handknit. And the... yes, the shawl
also. The socks, too, but they were a present from my mother. She told me she loves to wear wool during the winter, but her knitting is a bit slow and she does not have the confidence to try complicated patterns, so she mostly sticks to scarfs and cowls. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After that she went back to her meeting, but apparently it worked inside of her. A few days ago when the man was on the phone scheduling a new livingroom-meeting, I overheard that she asked him if there was <i>possibly any</i> chance that <i>only if she has the time!</i> his girlfriend (that's me) would <i>just maybe</i> be willing to <i>ofcourseIwillpayher </i>knit a sweater for her?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well... yes, I'd love to!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So we got together, she explained to me what she wanted and what was important to her, I made some suggestions and then we rummaged through Ravelry to find the perfect Marius-genser (<a href="http://with2hands.blogspot.no/2016/10/fingerless-marius-mittens.html">told you, he's everywhere!</a>). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today we went to town (literally) and got the pattern and yarn.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Both are by Sandnes, a brand that is very popular in Norway. You can buy the pattern in Norwegian <a href="http://www.sandnesgarn.no/oppskrifter/marius-genser-2">from their website</a> or in English from <a href="http://scandinavianknittingdesign.com/contents/en-uk/d372_Theme_35_Norwegian_Icons_-_Adults.html">SKD yarns</a>. The yarn is called Sisu and consists of 80% superwash wool plus 20% nylon. It's relatively thin, considered that I will knit a full sweater for an adult, but it has a great texture and is nice to work with. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Colourwise we went for three shades of blue instead of the classic Norwegian blue, red and white. Dark blue for the body, light blue for the Marius-mønster and a heathered medium blue for the neckline. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It does not happen very often that I decide to knit something just as the pattern suggests, in the yarn that the pattern suggests. Normally I don't care much about gauge and make adjustments as I go, by now I would not even bother to buy a pattern for this kind of sweater anymore. But this one is not for me and the recipient's size and body type is very different from mine, so I have to stick to the plan to make sure it actually fits her (and not me). </div>

Part II: Finland</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So there I was, after 14 hours on the bus, sitting on my bed in a hostel room in the middle of <strike>nowhere</strike> Finland. And somehow, I was not scared anymore. There was only this feeling of curiosity, wondering how this whole thing would turn out, where I would go, who I would meet, and which stories I would get to tell afterwards. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The next morning I (unsuccessfully) tried to buy a map of the area, but western Finland does not seem to be big in hiking. Fortunately they bike a lot, so I was able to follow the bike lane north in the direction of Haukipudas. And already on this first day, I was able to establish the first of The Rules of Hiking:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. You never "just" get lost. As soon as you get lost, it will also start to rain. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But fate took pity in me and made up for it. After I got back to the road and the rain had stopped, I met the guy again who was responsible for my getting lost (I didn't tell him) and he offered me to camp in his backyard. Yay, no pooping in the woods and maybe even a shower in the morning! But fate was not yet finished. Long story short, I spent the night on a proper mattress in their daughters' playroom because the weather forecast had a storm coming and the guy's wife had asked me if I'd rather want to come inside.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let me tell you, Finnish people are officially the nicest in the world. </div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">After arriving in Haukipudas. Please note the packed lunch Signe gave me.</span></div>
<br />
This meeting nice Finns continued on the next day, <span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span>when I was walking on the side of the road towards Ii. A random woman pulled up her car next to me and gave me a ride that I had not asked for. She even gave me tips on which bus stop in town was best for hitchhiking, completely ignoring (in a very nice, polite and motherly way) everything I said about wanting to walk and this being a hiking trip after all. I (nice and polite as I am) waited until she was out of sight, and marched on. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The second night I spent on a river island just north of Iin Hamina, where I could finally pitch the tent and have some real camping experiences. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL_E4dRfuoT8BwyWBxHYSCqHENnQCveeLZhFLmPDihpa6FTSux62LmjRNlFQnS3jkl5FmhoZB1FVybRDNq_Eb7ojBJRyXq5DOZZQ_INDY8Yug3Kyh5xD0T8qfneoOCUcjcNxCNq14pBMs/s1600/IMG_94001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="162" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL_E4dRfuoT8BwyWBxHYSCqHENnQCveeLZhFLmPDihpa6FTSux62LmjRNlFQnS3jkl5FmhoZB1FVybRDNq_Eb7ojBJRyXq5DOZZQ_INDY8Yug3Kyh5xD0T8qfneoOCUcjcNxCNq14pBMs/s320/IMG_94001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Which leads me to the first of The Facts about Camping:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. As soon as everything (yourself included) is inside the tent, it will start to rain. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So if you want to have a wee before bedtime, do that before entering the tent.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But fate was either still making up for things or it was really impressed with how well I was doing. On the next day it sent me another ride, this time a German. Jens from Zwickau was on his way to Norway and could have taken me all the way, but we decided that <a href="http://www.camping-merihelmi.fi/">Merihelmi Camping</a> was far enough. It was only 12:30 when we arrived and my day's work was already done. I could get used to that. </div>

The sun was shining, I did some knitting, washed my clothes, ate, and was generally lazy. And in these two hours of quiet contemplation between 1 o'clock and 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I discovered the next Rule of Hiking on the list:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. When hiking, you will spend most of your time not hiking. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So the rest of the day consisted of napping, taking pictures of the campsite owner's dog, sorting my stuff, trying not to use my feet too much, admiring the beautiful sunset, and most importantly, being exactly where I wanted to be. </div>

Over the past few months, I dropped some hints about some mysterious adventure. Well, here is the story behind:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One rainy Sunday in March 2016, I decided I wanted to go hiking. It could have been the über-flat landscape I was living in at that time, or the fact that I (not yet) married into a family of hikers and was never quite able to relate to their experiences and stories and the pictures of their adventures when we all got together around Christmas time and looked through old and not-so-old photographs and memories. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of course I had gone hiking before. I had done day hikes. I had done overnight camping, going there one day and going back on the following. I did a multi-day-roadtrip in 2014, going from the south of Germany to the north of Norway by car. But I had never been on a <i>proper, multiple-day, carry-it-yourself-or-leave-it-at-home</i> hike. "Trekking" I think it's called nowadays. So on this rainy Sunday in March, a decision was made: I would go hiking in Summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And I did.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhna6H1xqsHHODF0p3ua09Ge-FPXe9G0sgcv5eL068tOIr7a-qQFcATjuLfLMF89b3AZp2QX5VnJxzlDhctFR_PR9Qi7-8ARjR5QN7hH66d946acPRjz0Zfe0ZBR_ChS3bb_nZEVpV-NBA/s1600/theonlytimeiworemysunglasses.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhna6H1xqsHHODF0p3ua09Ge-FPXe9G0sgcv5eL068tOIr7a-qQFcATjuLfLMF89b3AZp2QX5VnJxzlDhctFR_PR9Qi7-8ARjR5QN7hH66d946acPRjz0Zfe0ZBR_ChS3bb_nZEVpV-NBA/s320/theonlytimeiworemysunglasses.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Part I: Before</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I knew it would be easy to get carried away by the possibilities once I started researching, because when you don't know what you are looking for, everything could be <i>the thing</i>. So I came up with a list of things I wanted (and did not want) and then - don't laugh - opened Google Maps and randomly hacked in some placenames. Helsinki - Tromsø (way too far). Luleå - Bodø (omitting Finland). Tornio - Å i Lofoten (do those bridges have sidewalks?). Norge på langs? Nordkalotten? Kungsleden? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I guess this is not how you would normally approach such things, but
remember that this was (and is!) all very new to me and you have to
start somewhere, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Still without the slightest clue about what I was doing, my mind settled on Oulu - Narvik. I'll wait for you while you check the maps. This route went through Finland, Sweden and Norway, I would get to see the Bothnian Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, and lots of different types of landscape. Both cities could be reached by bus or plane. Google said that the distance between the two is 666 km, which I considered to be a good omen. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The following weeks and months I tried to learn some Finnish (I used the <a href="http://www.funeasylearn.com/">FunEasyLearn</a> app), got myself <a href="http://www.sasquatchbooks.com/book/?isbn=9781632170057&a-womans-guide-to-the-wild-by-ruby-mcconnell">a book</a> on the topic, bought a shedload of new camping and hiking equipment and asked the hikers in my life a ton of practical and impractical questions. I spent more time than I would ever admit on a) the question which knitting project to bring and b) spiders. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I did all of this while still not being entirely sure about my decision and this uncertainty did not leave me until I had booked the bus ticket to Oulu and a room in the hostel. Which was about three days before the planned departure. I won't lie: All of this scared the shit out of me. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But I went.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And it was awesome. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Stay tuned for part II :D</div>

Do you know <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BI3NqNkhYTF/">this cartoon from Adam Ellis</a>? Well, that kind of sums it up.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2016 started out really great. During the first half of the year I learned a lot of new things. I went skiing for the first time in my life and didn't suck at it (or that's what people told me), did a pottery class, saw the Sisters of Mercy live, quit sugar and spent most of the football matches in which Germany played running through my deserted village listening to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YyN6zIzBfU&list=PL45F5205864C7562C">that one album by Soilwork</a>. One sunday morning I ran 5 km in 30 minutes and 14 seconds without even trying. Hillary was on top, my job got waaaay better, I was getting rid of lots of stuff I didn't need anymore, there were a pregnancy and several weddings (not mine, but I caught the flower bouquet). Life was good. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The man and I were preparing for our life together, this time for good. We found a flat, we found a way to make the move happen, we <i>made</i> the move happen. After that we both had some adventure time, he in the north, I in the south. I got some freckles on my nose, I got soaked more times than I care to remember, I got ill, I got better again. My feet hurt, my shoulder hurt, but I kept on walking. I didn't see an elk, but I think I heard one. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
But when I got home, somehow, the spell was broken. I still don't fully understand why or how exactly things went wrong. I don't want to go into detail, and right now it doesn't matter. What matters is that I am finally able to accept it, because that is the first step to change it. It took me quite some time to get to this point, but since it's still 2016, I guess it counts. </div>

Honestly I don't know yet what to expect from and hope for in 2017 because I am so taken up with the current situation. My list with good intentions is written, but everything else is still shrouded by fog. Manage expectations and disappointments, make baby steps, celebrate small victories. Hang in there. That's all we can do, right? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope you are well, had a good end-of-the-year holiday and spent some time with your loved ones. 2017 means 365 fresh days to make it a good year. Should be enough. :)</div>

Aaaaand there is another pattern online (yay!). It's an asymmetrical knit triangular shawl with lots of garter stitch and a nice little lace border. Perfect for a late autumn walk (ehm), evenings in front of the fire or just everyday. The pattern features three different sizes, from small to bigger-than-you-might-think, but you can also adjust it to your yardage and preference. The sample was knit in size small. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I designed this shawl after I got hold of two skeins of Manos del Uruguay Silk Blend in a lovely deep petrol colour. It was a clear case of reward shopping, but I regret nothing.<br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I said, there is a lot of garter stitch going on, which makes the main body of the shawl a rather mindless (and super fast!) business. The lace border is very simple, too, making it the perfect project for a lace beginner. </div>

And to lure you into another sales funnel: Sebastian has finally set up <a href="http://www.pepperomia.de/naturfoto-drucke/">an online shop for his photographs</a>. And just in time for Christmas, how convenient is that?! You can order either digital files or prints on different materials and in different sizes. We got one on canvas as a test and the quality both of the frame and the print is great! I especially like the landscapes, but the plants are nice, too. Go get one (or two, or three...)! </div>

Merry whichever end-of-the-year holiday you are celebrating :D</div>

Remember the <a href="http://with2hands.blogspot.no/2016/10/fingerless-marius-mittens.html">Marius Fingerless Mittens</a> from a month back? Well, the pattern has now been tested, tweaked to perfection, and... uploaded! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes! And just in time for the holidays! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Either knit them up and place them under the tree for a loved one, or make a kit complete with pattern, yarn and all, and give it to the knitter in your life. In my experience, this almost certainly results in YOU getting a pair of mittens some weeks or months later. </div>

It's dark outside and getting darker every day. Officially the sun will go down (and stay there for about two months) only next weekend, but our house is located in a valley with a mountain to the south, which means that the last time I saw the sun from the kitchen window was already a few weeks ago. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To counteract the darkness outside we stocked up on candles and I am trying to wrap my head around vitamin D, lumen, and where to get a daylight lamp. And, <a href="http://with2hands.blogspot.no/2014/10/bunte-wolle-gegen-blodes-wetter.html">after more than two years</a> (WTF?!), I finally got my dyepot out again. Woohoo!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This blend of 70% BFL and 30% silk seems to be one of my staple bases, I have used it a lot in the past and still like it. The colours are also very "me", I thought that since I became a bit rusty, it would be nice to start out with an easy colour combo that I knew would work.</div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These two came out of the same pot, but the bases are different and so are the results. The Polwarth/Tencel/Seacell blend (50/25/25) in the top picture came out much darker than the BFL/Bamboo blend (50/50) below, but I like them both. Looks a bit like burnt candy.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7blC1oYowMH2ypR1X13CUb5XsCW4xhwhnMaTQAuicJ1q87IU7y1jDCPrxkpC_k8F0oMxwnOD26q7Mz56FYQQtlPzZGacvB7DpSOFMhF_XP4oQjy7VlLmbAinsgqTOprNF4Av8WO7gFQ8/s1600/shetlandnorge1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="183" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7blC1oYowMH2ypR1X13CUb5XsCW4xhwhnMaTQAuicJ1q87IU7y1jDCPrxkpC_k8F0oMxwnOD26q7Mz56FYQQtlPzZGacvB7DpSOFMhF_XP4oQjy7VlLmbAinsgqTOprNF4Av8WO7gFQ8/s320/shetlandnorge1.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And, because I could not help myself, a (slightly messy) gradient. The base is 50% Shetland with 20% Silk and 20% Tencel. The wool was not entirely white, but a mixture of white and grey, toning the colours down somewhat. The silk adds a bit of shiny-ness, and white streaks come from the Tencel (a cellulose fiber that is not touched by the acid dyes). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I added the braids to <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/people/teli/stash">my Ravelry stash</a> and they will go up for sale soon. I also got myself <a href="https://www.instagram.com/themidnightarchitect/">an Instagram Account</a> and a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/themidnightarchitect/">Facebook page</a>. And, to add to the good news, it finally started snowing. Yippieh!</div>

It seems everybody is getting snow right now. They have snow <a href="https://lenealve.blogspot.no/2016/11/finished.html">in Finland</a>. They have snow in the south of Germany. They even have snow <a href="https://hedgefairy.wordpress.com/2016/11/09/first-snow-2/">in the north of Germany</a>! So when I was getting onto the plane in Oslo the other day and there was snow on the airport runway, I expected to land in Tromsø in a heap of whiteness. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
One third of November gone and no snow yet. Ok, there is snow above 300m, which is about 20 minutes up the hill, but down here at sea level? Nothing. It is cold enough, but the weather is just <i>too good</i>. We only have ice, and more than enough of it. It is a bit gloomy with the sun standing so low, but that makes the pictures look even more hipsteresque. </div>

There is this thing in Norway with Marius. Named after Norwegian pilot, skier and actor (in that order) Marius Eriksen, this pattern has been around for over 60 years. It is considered to be Norway's most popular knitting pattern, which means they put it on everything: sweaters, underwear, pot holders and blankets, but also non-knitwear like mugs, paper napkins, mouse pads and muffin cases. Just google "mariusmønster" and be amazed by the idea of being able to Marius-ize your whole wardrobe. And house. And everything else. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ehm. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maybe a pair of fingerless mittens is enough for the moment. </div>

Using Holst Samarkand (now discontinued)* and 2.00 mm needles, the mittens are very light, but also surprisingly windproof. The stranded colourwork adds a bit of thickness at the wrist, while the palm remains plain to show off the beautiful, tweedy texture of the yarn. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
To update the classic pattern for a modern and more minimalistic feel, I used muted shades of blue and grey for the main pattern and worked just a few duplicate stitches in red as a tiny nod to the original colour scheme. </div>

As with the <a href="http://with2hands.blogspot.no/2016/10/pattern-coming-search-for-testers.html">Brua Cowl</a>, the pattern for the Fingerless Marius Mittens is almost ready and <b>waiting to be tested</b>. If you are interested, please drop me a note in the comments or send me an email. The pattern is written in English and will be provided as a PDF. Considering Holst's great range of colours, you could probably knit a different pair for each week of the year, secretly Marius-izing your wardrobe one (or two) mittens at a time. Have a great week!</div>

* Holst came up with a new yarn named Tides, which has almost the same fiber content (70% wool, 30% silk) as Samarkand (75% wool, 25% silk) and the exact same meterage. The pattern includes shade names for both Tides and Samarkand. </div>

Having done minimal to zero creative work in the past few months, I decided to make up for it by designing more knitwear and writing patterns for it. By now it is mainly accessories, but we will see where it takes me. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This cowl uses a simple and very versatile stitch repeat that allows you to make the cowl as high and wide as you wish. The original sample was knit in Rosy Green Wool Cheeky Merino Joy (colour 065 Edelweiss). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The pattern is almost ready for upload and I am now looking for a few <b>testers who would like to knit the cowl</b> and provide some feedback. You can <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/the-testing-pool/topics/3514673">follow this link to Ravelry</a> and sign up for the test or send me an email/leave a comment here and I will get back to you with the details. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thanks and have a lovely week!</div>

A lot has happened since we spoke last. There has been an unhealthy amount of carrying boxes and driving cars, a healthy amount of sleeping in the woods, followed by a lot of walking and even more sleeping in the woods (more on that later). We had fish straight from the fjord and northern lights. The man and I are finally settled in our new home by the river where we have a more or less stable internet connection, though no proper desks yet. Our freezer is packed with blueberries and cranberries and we are writing shopping lists for the winter. Very high on mine: Spikes for my bike and proper gloves for skiing, snowshoeing and well, general survival at 69°N. </div>

Enjoy the view and stay tuned for more tales from the North ;)</div>

Mein Blog ist einer dieser halbtoten Zombie-Blogs geworden, in die man alle paar Monate mal reinschaut, um dann festzustellen, dass es wieder nur einen neuen Post gibt. Ein großes Sorry dafür. Ich verbringe auf der Arbeit zwar den ganzen Tag im Internet, aber eben in ganz anderen Ecken als normalerweise. Wikipedia, Google Translate und Linguee sind meine besten Freunde geworden, nachdem uns in der Uni eingetrichtert wurde, diese Seiten höchstens als allerersten Wegweiser und nur heimlich zu Hause zu verwenden. Die Rache der freien Wirtschaft. </div>

Nach einigen Hochs und Tiefs habe ich jetzt zumindest wieder Spaß an der Arbeit, das Gefühl, in die richtige Richtung zu laufen (<a href="http://with2hands.blogspot.nl/2015/12/2015-voller-tatendrang.html">wir erinnern uns</a>) und nebenher noch Zeit für Sightseeing. Es geht voran, slow and steady. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Das Jahr war aufregend, keine Frage. Und lehrreich. Ich habe mich endgültig vom Studentendasein losgesagt (sprich: Die Versicherung läuft jetzt auf Basis eines Erwachseneneinkommens) und meinen ersten Vollzeitjob angetreten. Ich habe mein geliebtes Hesseländsche verlassen und bin ans andere Ende der Republik gezogen, auch wenn von Hessen aus gesehen das andere Ende der Republik nie besonders weit weg ist. Ich arbeite im Ausland. Ich habe meine erste Feuerwerksrakete gezündet (big deal!). Ich war das erste Mal angeln, habe meine erste Makrele umgebracht - und aufgegessen. Ich bin in eine richtige Erwachsenenwohnung gezogen, ich habe einen Kühlschrank für mich alleine, eine Waschmaschine, eine elektrische Zahnbürste und einen Herd, der Umluft kann. Neuerdings habe ich sogar ein Auto. Dafür immer noch kein Internet, aber das nur am Rande. Ich habe zu allem Möglichen <a href="http://with2hands.blogspot.de/2014/12/one-year-from-now.html">"Ja" gesagt</a>, und es war meistens gut. Ich habe eine Liste mit Dingen geschrieben, die ich 2015 gemacht habe, und sie zu Hause vergessen.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Was daran jetzt falsch war? Naja. Man möge es mir verzeihen, aber Nordrhein-Westfalen ist nicht unbedingt mein Traumland. Bis zum nächsten erwähnenswerten Hügel sind es mindestens eineinhalb Stunden Fahrt und bis zum Meer trotzdem noch zwei. Nicht einmal ordentlichen Wald gibt es. Ich habe verstanden, dass es mir wichtig ist, mich in einer Landschaft aufzuhalten, die mir gefällt. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Der Job ist das Beste, was mir passieren konnte, die Kollegen sind nett, die Bezahlung für einen Berufseinsteiger ordentlich, der Zweck des Ganzen relativ sinnvoll und sogar entfernt studienverwandt. Allerdings macht er mich nicht glücklich. Genau wie das Grammatik-Propädeutikum im ersten Semester wird es mir später sicher noch einige Male den Arsch retten, ihn gemacht und daraus gelernt zu haben, aber Spaß habe ich (genau wie damals) keinen dran. Auch das Drumherum, der Umzug, die neue Wohnung, die neue Umgebung, die neuen Leute und die neue Kultur haben mich einiges gelehrt und tun es immer noch, im Positiven wie im Negativen. Ich habe viel Zeit, Nerven und Herzblut in Dinge gesteckt, die es nicht wert sind und dafür andere, wichtige Dinge vernachlässigt. Da war ich zugegeben schon mal weiter, aber wie das eben so ist: Erst losfahren, dann Navi einschalten. </div>

2015 war holprig, das steht fest. Es war natürlich nicht die ganze Zeit so schlimm, wie ich es jetzt
darstelle, aber zwischendurch war es zeitweise auch mal sehr schlimm und
sowas will ich in meinem Leben einfach nicht mehr haben. Während ich also immer noch nicht genau weiß, was ich will oder es mir zumindest immer noch nicht eingestehen kann, weiß ich jetzt immerhin etwas besser, was ich <i>nicht</i> will. </div>

Was ich mir von 2016 erwarte? In erster Linie Kurskorrektur und dann Gas geben. Rudern hab ich gelernt, jetzt muss ich noch lenken üben. Das geht natürlich besser, wenn man nicht ganz alleine für das Boot verantwortlich ist, daher wird das große Projekt für das kommende Jahr, mit dem Ninja zusammenzuziehen. Zum mittlerweile dritten Mal. Im Schlepptau dieses Unterfangens wird hoffentlich im Sommer ein Umzugslaster den gleichen Weg wie 2014 nehmen und schließlich mein Leben im <i>Land in der Ferne</i> abladen. Wo genau, wird sich noch zeigen, da bin ich erst mal nicht wählerisch. Hauptsache Meer und Berge und klare Luft und schöne Menschen. Alles andere wird sich ergeben. Sage ich jetzt mal so, in meiner Versöhnlichkeit mit dem sterbenden Jahr und in voller Erwartung eines neuen. </div>

Ich wünsche euch allen noch ein paar schöne Feiertage mit euren Lieben, viel Entspannung und vielleicht sogar ein bisschen Schnee für uns alle. Träumt am Limit und schmiedet großartige Pläne, dann wird es, falls ihr sie nicht ganz erfüllen könnt, immer noch toll genug gewesen sein.

Im September war ich über meinen Geburtstag noch einmal eine Woche im <i>Landet i det Fjerne</i>. Wie <a href="http://with2hands.blogspot.nl/2015/09/this-long-road-paved-with-victories.html">das Bild, das ich noch von Norwegen aus gepostet hatte</a>, schon vorausahnen ließ, hatten wir echt Spaß. Hier nun die ganze Story in relativ chonologischer Reihenfolge. </div>

Was ich in dieser einen Woche gelernt habe? Machen, einfach machen. Wenn du nach Finnland fahren willst, denk nicht lange darüber nach, fahr nach Finnland. Du kannst dein Abendessen mit Euros bezahlen. Wenn du zu diesem See fahren willst, fahr zu diesem See, egal ob die Sonne schon untergeht. Wenn du diesen Berg besiegen willst, dann besieg ihn, verdammt noch mal. Und wenn es den ganzen Tag dauert (es hat den ganzen Tag gedauert). Auf dem Weg nach oben gibt es Blaubeeren und der Weg nach unten ist sowieso egal.. weil du oben warst. </div>

Und wenn dir als Deutsche jemand in Norwegen italienischen Weißwein schenkt, bedank dich und nimm es einfach hin. Dinge müssen manchmal keinen Sinn ergeben. </div>

Das sind.. ganz schön viele! Vielen Dank für diese tolle Bestätigung, dass euch der Kram, den ich so mache, echt gefällt. Und jetzt sucht in eurem Stash nach Garn, um euch selbst ein Paar Stulpen zu stricken! </div>

Letztens fiel mir, als ich gerade zwei Karten schrieb (eine zum Geburtstag, eine zur Abgabe einer wichtigen Arbeit), auf, wie sehr ich Postkarten immer unterschätzt habe. Wie <i>gut</i> Postkarten eigentlich sind. Ist euch das mal aufgefallen? Sie haben ein festes Format, begrenzten Platz für ein paar liebe Worte und im Idealfall noch ein hübsches Motiv vorne drauf. Der Empfänger freut sich fast genauso wie über einen vier Seiten langen Brief, nur dass man viel weniger Arbeit damit hat! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nachdem ich also zuerst im Schreibwarenladen war, um mir einen Vorrat zusammenzustellen und bei der Post, um Briefmarken aufzustocken (Inland 45 Cent, Ausland 80 Cent), dachte ich mir: Wisst ihr, worüber sich der Empfänger noch mehr freuen würde? Über selbstgemalte Karten. Oh yeah. </div>

Diese drei Karten sind entstanden, als ich am Wochenende mit der Nass-in-Nass-Technik rumgespielt habe. Man feuchtet einfach das ganze Blatt mit klarem Wasser an und setzt dann mit konzentrierter Farbe Flecken darauf. Warten bis alles getrocknet ist und fertig. Eine Sache von zwei Minuten. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Zuerst wollte ich die Kleckse einfach so lassen, völlig abstrakt und sophisticated. Aber dann erschien es mir doch zu langweilig und ich habe ein bisschen mit dem Fineliner experimentiert. Für diese Polygon-Muster braucht es genauso wenig Talent wie für den Untergrund, im Prinzip sind es ja nur Dreiecke. Aber der Effekt gefällt mir echt gut und ich freue mich schon darauf, am Wochenende noch ein paar Karten zu malen. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Was mich zu etwas anderem bringt: Ich weiß ganz genau, dass ihr auch gerne Karten bekommt. Die <a href="http://with2hands.blogspot.nl/2014/12/weihnachtskarten-2014.html">Weihnachtskartenaktion</a> hat es bewiesen. Daher schlage ich etwas vor: Schickt mir eine selbstgemachte (gemalte, geklebte, genähte, <i>whatever</i>) Postkarte und ihr bekommt eine Karte von mir zurück. Nicht zwangsweise eine der oben abgebildeten, aber sie wird ebenfalls selbstgemacht sein. Auf so kleinem Format kreativ zu sein ist eine gute Fingerübung und auf diese Weise verstauben die Werke nicht in der Schublade. Meine Adresse bekommt ihr auf Anfrage, eure Adresse könnt ihr dann entweder hinten auf die Karte schreiben oder mir eine E-Mail schicken. Deal? Deal. </div>

Im Sommer war mir nach langer Kardiermaschinenabstinenz mal wieder nach Farbexperiment. Also habe ich <i>alle</i> Merinowollknäulchen ausgepackt, Farben zusammengestellt, rumprobiert und schließlich einen langen Farbverlauf zusammenkardiert. Selbiger wurde zu einem Single mit wenig Drall versponnen und lag dann erst mal eine ganze Weile rum, bis ich mich entscheiden konnte, von welcher Seite aus ich mit stricken beginnen will. </div>

Die Konstruktion ist denkbar einfach: Ein simples Dreieckstuch mit einer Zunahme in jeder Reihe an den langen Kanten und einer Zunahme pro zwei Reihen (immer in der Hin-Reihe) in der Mitte. Glatt rechts mit einer Reihe linke Maschen alle 20 Reihen und am Ende ein bisschen kraus rechts. Hinterher fiel mir auf, dass das Tuch <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/boneyard-shawl">Boneyard</a> von Stephen West sehr ähnlich sieht, aber man kann das Rad ja nicht dauernd neu erfinden. Beziehungsweise, es wird halt immer wieder rund, nech? </div>

Ausgangsamterial waren neun verschiedene Farben Merinowolle (zwei Töne hellblau, grau, waldgrün, türkis, petrol, mittelblau, royalblau und dunkelblau). Himmelblau bis Ozeanblau mit ein bisschen Geologie und Biologie dazwischen, aber abstrakt genug um nicht als Motivpullover durchzugehen. Passt doch. </div>

Das Stricken an sich war gegen Ende etwas mühsam und langweilig, aber der Farbverlauf macht optisch soviel Spaß, dass ich darüber hinweg sehen konnte. Jetzt muss es nur noch Herbst wer.. ach ja, da war ja was. Es ist bereits Herbst! Fröhliche Lieblingsjahreszeit euch allen!</div>

In letzter Zeit habe ich nach langer Abstinenz wieder die Lust am Zeichnen und Malen entdeckt. Schade, dass es abends immer schon so dunkel ist, wenn ich nach Hause komme. Aber Weihnachten steht - ich geb's nicht gerne zu - irgendwie schon vor der Tür und ich will vorbereitet sein, wenn <i>die</i> Idee für die diesjährige Weihnachtskarte kommt. Also: Skizzen machen. Oder zumindest anderen dabei zuschauen. </div>

Letzte Woche habe ich wirklich genügend Zeit an Flughäfen verbracht, und was ist? Ich schaue mir lieber Kinder und Flugzeuge an als zu zeichnen. Das ist zwar auch wichtig (vor allem Flugzeuge gucken. Flugzeuge gucken ist sehr wichtig!), aber nächstes Mal muss ich unbedingt daran denken, wenigstens ein kleines Notizbuch mit ins Handgepäck zu nehmen. </div>

Anfang August hatte ich Besuch aus der Verwandtschaft. Da das Wetter schön war und ich nach (hüstel) vier Monaten in dieser Wohnung immer noch keine richtige Gelegenheit hatte, anständig die Gegend zu erkunden, sind wir ein bisschen über die Felder spazieren gegangen. Der Besuch bewunderte den weiten Himmel, ich beklagte mich über die Hügel- und damit Aussichtslosigkeit dieser Kulturlandschaft. Nach Maisfeld, Maisfeld, Straße, Maisfeld, zwei Reihen Bäume und, oh, wieder Maisfeld war es uns genug und wir beschlossen, jetzt nicht ohne Abenteuer nach Hause zu gehen. Irgendwas Interessantes <i>muss</i> es doch auch hier geben, wenn man schon keine verwunschenen Schluchten, versteckte Quellen und eindrucksvolle Felsformationen erwarten kann. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Und da war es. Wir sind natürlich nicht reingegangen, da wir weder geeignetes Schuhwerk noch eine passende Kopfbedeckung dabei hatten (wobei natürlich, wenn das Dach schon runterkommt, auch der Helm nichts mehr nützt), aber von draußen gab es auch einiges zu sehen. </div>

Diese Plane hing da so furchtbar fotogen im Wind rum, es war kaum auszuhalten. Davon hab ich sicher 20 Fotos und zwei Videos gemacht. Die macht's einfach. Schade, dass sie wirklich genau in der Mitte des Hauses von der Decke runterhing und mein Zoom nicht näher rankam. Aber ohne Geheimnisse wäre es ja auch langweilig gewesen. </div>

Einer meiner Arbeitskollegen ist etwas im Urbex aktiv, vielleicht nehme ich den bei Gelegenheit und gutem Wetter noch mal mit. Auch wenn das hier eher ein Fall von Rur-Ex war. Die Koordinaten sind jedenfalls gespeichert. Abenteuer - <i>check</i>. Wir konnten beruhigt nach Hause gehen. </div>
