She was wondering what it was like to live in northern Sweden, so I read her your paragraph about the six seasons where you are in Finland... Hannah's comment was that you must be a very calm and observant person--"she really feels the world around her."

I have just begun my first garment (I don't count socks, hats or scarves) and chose a lovely cream colored cotton. The swatch came out very nice so I went back to the store to buy the 7 other skeins. As I walked from the store with bag in hand, I was surprised at how heavy it was. More than wool I think. It makes sense when I think about it and your remarks confirmed my suspicion. I guess we each will be wearing a garment of substance!<br />Your drawing is very pleasing.SandyPDXnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17492826.post-26486183465983157772010-04-03T01:08:16.488+03:002010-04-03T01:08:16.488+03:00Love your drawing!

As much as I enjoy your creative observations, I particularly enjoy glimpses of a landscape and way of life that have lived in my imagination since childhood. The welcome sight of a reindeer on your blog made me know I had found a piece of home. <br /><br />For that reason, I too miss your collage. Please consider bringing it back, or at least "storing" it somewhere easily found when dreamers like me feel homesick.

I find a book that will prop up on a book lecturn is just the thing for plain knitting. <br /><br />For me trains are made for an audio book on the Ipod and knitting on dpns or a small circular needle - like a shawl done in sock wool or similar.Lolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03543175487471810736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17492826.post-63771034332995088712010-03-31T19:25:49.530+03:002010-03-31T19:25:49.530+03:00I love to travel by train too.

Yesterday I was so silly that I used the "delete"button instead of the "publish"button, when I wanted to publish it...maybe I was a bit exhausted, because I finished a sweater for my husband -and that was the first one I knitted after a break of nearly 18 years...I'm sure you understand that;-))Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07953623269887572650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17492826.post-87378757089645321022010-03-31T11:41:15.015+03:002010-03-31T11:41:15.015+03:00I always thought we knitters are strange (for othe...I always thought we knitters are strange (for others).. waiting for a doctor's appointment? No problem, knitting time. Long train journey? Hurray, more knitting time... I am known to turn back from the door if I forgot to put any knitting into my bag-even if I "only" go to work... but what if the metro gets stuck between two station? What if there is a fire alarm and I have to stand downstairs??? everybody would go crazy, but I would rejoice at the extra knitting time...<br />Oh, Lovely drawing BTW.peonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293424100260447076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17492826.post-70401843724953421412010-03-31T11:24:01.473+03:002010-03-31T11:24:01.473+03:00I've been lurking around your blog for a long ...I've been lurking around your blog for a long time and decided that it's time to thank you for your thoughtful and inspirational posts.

What color would you select? Your drawing is charming.<br />I, too, am taking a short break from knitting to re-energize my passion. I'm crocheting with cotton(difficult yarn for me, too) and working on a British needlepoint. Maybe in a week I'll be ready. Can you work on something else on the train? You can always pack needles and pick up sock or hat yarn in the south when you see your girls if you feel you can't wait.

...I love the drawing, it's so happy and dreamy!<br />Just wanted to say I completely understand what you mean by your soul dragging along, I've found that fast travel (much as it is convenient and I appreciate that aspect, of course!) feels unnatural. My brain has difficulty coping with the fact that two completely different worlds (i.e. different parts of my life which basically never come into contact) are only a 7-hour flight away...
