it's the 25th of february

and I think I just saw a warning for

TORNADO'S

in our area

I cannot describe how strong the wind is right now and how very very scary it is

to be under all these tall trees

the wind is so loud

and so gusty

it's either high up in the trees

or swooping down and hitting the ground

with such force everything is being blown

hither and yon

it's crazy

and I don't like living in the woods

today

:{

this is the silly flag someone put up at the

place we call the beach on the lake

and this is a leaf stuck in the fence

;}

and there

are actual waves on the water

I'll have you know I was almost blown away taking these

but look at the sky

and those clouds south of us

so I don't mind risking life and limb

to show it all

and yes I did  housework

it's all lemony fresh

crystal clear

and bright as a peacocks tail

and

 I'll have you know..... it was hard to do it

not the work

but  having to ignore the fact

that I got an e-mail

from Sweden

with a video attached

from

Nilla

who made it for me to show me the stitch I told you about the other day

that I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to do

WELLLLLL

I can do it

and I can even say the chant

of course with an English accent

 "ta hank, lägga hank, sticka hank och maska".

and that means

lift a stitch

yarn over

knit a stitch

and I did and look what I have

:}

it is so soft and squishy

and so pretty

and

now that I know

so easy

it's called

 Snöstorps-knitting

and it comes from

Norway

and it's lovely

and she thinks so too!!

so for the rest of this afternoon

I'll be chanting

in a clean house

with the wind howling outside

dinner is already planned

so

I'll see you

soon

thank you

 Nilla

"tack så mycket!".

lift a stitch

yo

knit a stitch

lift a stitch

yo knit a stitch
