A new Blogpost!!

After 3 years of not blogging I am finally going to revive the blog! mostly for me to keep tally of what I am doing and hopefully get some pictures on. That is not going to happen for a while as my camera is not working :(

I moved to England at the start of last year so now I am much closer to a spinning community witch is great and I have made great friends here and living in England is generally wonderful. I miss my kids of course and my mum and my friends but a change is a good thing and being away from Iceland makes you see what is happening over there in a whole other light than when your sitting in the middle of all the scandals and corruption following the economic crash.

But back to knitting, this is my list of finished objects of the year since I came back from my Christmas holiday in Iceland on the 8th of January:

Veeeei! Gaman gaman að sjá bloggpóst frá þér elskan mín!
Og þú ert náttúrulega prjónamaskína!

Ein spurning, notaðir þú plötulopa í peysurnar sem að ég er að fara að ganga frá fyrir þig? Svona svo að ég noti sama garnið í fráganginn.

Bubba kom til mín í gær og lét mig fá allt þetta fallega garn! Ég er í himnaríki! TAKK FYRIR MIG elskan mín!
