Being photographed with lamp light makes them seem even more cozy, as if it is evening and someone is wearing them to be warm after a long day.<BR/><BR/>I don't know how it is to have sun for only 6 hours a day, but it does seem like a fair amount of knitting would get done.<BR/><BR/>I meant to comment after you finished Katariina, but time slipped away from me. She is beautiful, a I would imagine quite warm. Thank you for sharing your technique, twined knitting. Most of all I wanted to thank you for telling us that once you finish you don't really want to see that piece for a while and that you feel like you are done knitting. I thought I was some kind of failed knitter for feeling this way. Knowing that you feel this way has eased a burden for me and now I might actually try knitting a sweater for myself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17492826.post-1163684362931482952006-11-16T15:39:00.000+02:002006-11-16T15:39:00.000+02:00It is always a great pleasure to read in your blog...It is always a great pleasure to read in your blog.

It heals and moisturizes better than anything I've ever used and it is totally greaseless so you never stain your yarn. It really is made to heal cracked udders but is also found on the shelf with typical moisturizers. Perhaps there is something similar in Finland.

Thank you for sharing!<BR/><BR/>Another good suggestion for dry skin is hydrolated petrolatum. It's like an opaque white petroleum jelly with water trapped inside. My son's dermatologist recommended it for chronically dry skin, and it works better than anything else we've tried. For the best results, put it on your hands after they've been in water (after a shower or doing dishes). It's not nearly as greasy as petroleum jelly, but it will work wonders on your skin. I got it from our local pharmacy--we didn't need a prescription, but it had to be special ordered because there isn't a huge demand for it. Try it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17492826.post-1163517037845607872006-11-14T17:10:00.000+02:002006-11-14T17:10:00.000+02:00Lene, I love how the lighting in these photos look...Lene, I love how the lighting in these photos looks so warm and cozy and inviting.
