Like so many Danes I like straight lines, orderly things and being in control. I incorporate this slightly manic trait in my crafting in a myriad of ways.
Occasionally a project flies under the radar and I only mention it when it becomes a Finished Object on Ravelry. This little project was in danger of becoming [...]

Making Plans For Knitting
In preparation for the new year, I have been going through my knitting queue and my stash. I know these things are subject to change, but I have made a few plans.
I have long wanted to make a pullover out of Rowan Kid Silk Haze. After contemplating several contenders, I have decided on Peaceful from [...]
Catching Up
Christmas has caught up with me. We are leaving for Scandinavia next week (and it is rumoured to be very cold), we are heading for North-East Scotland this week (and it’s rumoured to be almost as cold) and somewhere in between these two trips I have to finish David’s sweater (because places are rumoured to [...]
And the Boys From the NYPD Choir Were Singing
My all-time favourite Christmas song. Yes, December madness has officially begun.
But let’s not forget that December 1st is also World AIDS Day. Stay safe and play safe, my friends.
Thank You For The Roses
(probably not something you’d want to watch with children around or at work)
Off one of my all-time favourite albums, In A Bar, Under the Sea. I love this song.
No Beginning No End
Hawksley Workman. One of my favourite male singers. And the video is so beautiful.
Zoey Van Goey – The City Is Exploding

The Knitting Basket of Doom
Hello FLS, my old friend,
I’ve come to knit you again,
Because pretty yarn came softly creeping,
And I can knit you while sleeping,
And the shawl that was frogged yesterday
Still remains
Within the knitting basket of doom.
In restless dreams I walked alone
Wondered if I should knit Cobblestone,
‘neath the halo of a second-hand lamp,
I turned my eyes to the weather [...]
Just One Of Those Things
I could listen to him all day (and frequently do if nobody else is around). Just listen to that phrasing..
(I was raised on a diet of Sinatra and ABBA – and Other Half maintains this fact explains my psyche perfectly. I have no idea what he means by that. Any takers?)
It’s Almost That Time Of Year
Denmark is the oldest kingdom in Europe with a rich history of conquest, trade and culture. Regrettably, being lower even than the Netherlands, Denmark will be the first to disappear as the waters rise.
The 5.5 million people of Denmark speak a language they themselves do not understand, with a numbering system that contradicts all laws [...]
