På søndag var jeg på Minne-Hjørnet på adventstreff sammen med noen hyggelige jenter. Jeg hadde en liten make and take med et kremmerhus som jeg fant på en blogg kvelden før. Jeg fikk såvidt testet bretteteknikken før jeg dro på treffet og heldigvis gikk det greit. Oppskriften fant jeg her: Kremmerhus
Jeg kuttet arket i 6" x 6" for da får jeg nok til 4 kremmerhus av et 12 " x 12" ark.
On Sunday I was at my local scrapbook store with some nice creative girls. I had a little make and take with a candy cone I found on a blog the night before. I tested the cone once before I had the make and take and luckily everything went well. I found the tutorial here: Candy Cone .
I cut pieces of paper in 6" x 6" so I get 4 cones of one 12" x 12" sheet.

Strikkejournal/Knitting journal
Det har blitt så populært med Smash-bøker og jeg har funnet ut at istedet for å kjøpe de så kan jeg jo lage de selv med bind-it'n. For de som ikke vet hva Smash bok er så er det en notatbok. Med å lage de selv så hjelper det litt på papir og kartonglageret også - minker litt fortere. Jeg har strikket ganske mye det siste året, og fra i slutten av september og til nå har jeg skrevet ned alt jeg har strikket og hvor mye garn som har gått med. Jeg fikk lyst til å lage meg en journal med litt tips og triks, og en plass hvor jeg kan holde oversikten over ting jeg lager. Jeg har lagt inn en konvolutt i begynnelsen av boka hvor jeg kan legge inn regnskap over det jeg selger.
It's popular these days with Smash books, and I have found out that instead of buying them I can make them myself with the bind-it all machine. For those of you who don't know what a Smash books is - it's a notebook. When I make them myself it helps to get rid of some of the paper and cardstock I have. I have knitted a lot the last year, and from the end of September I have made a list of all the things I have knitted and how much yarn I have used. I wanted a journal where I can write down things that can come in handy, and a place to keep track of what I make. In the beginning of the book I have a envelope where I can keep a record of all the things I sell.

Julekort for november/Christmas cards for November
Utfordringen fortsetter i november, og her er mine 4 julekort. Nå nærmer det seg jul og jeg må ta en opptelling og se om jeg trenger litt flere kort.
The challenge continues in November and here is my 4 Christmas cards. It's getting close to Christmas and I need to count all my cards and see if I need some more.

Nytt par votter/A new pair of mittens
Dette mønsteret har jeg brukt flere ganger på votter jeg har strikket, men jeg har aldri brukt denne farvekombinasjonen. Vottene tok jeg med meg på jobb og vips så var en av mine kollegaer den nye eieren av disse.
This pattern I have used several times, but I have never used this colour combination before. I brought the mittens with me to work and suddenly one of my colleagues was the new owner.

Album cover med metalltape/Album cover with metal tape
Ble inspirert av noen bøker jeg har sett ute i bloggverden hvor de har brukt metall tape for å dekorere permene. Jeg fant frem en av permene fra Zutter, litt grungeboardfigurer, magic mesh, chipboard og andre ting jeg kunne dekorere med. Limte fast alle delene på permen og begynte å kutte til biter med metalltape og limte på permen. Brukte en tykk strikkepinne for å gni over tapen sånn at mønsteret kom frem. Når jeg hadde limt tape på alle sidene så penslet jeg på sort akrylmaling som jeg tørket av med tørkepapir med en gang.
I'm inspired by some books I found in the blog world where they have used metal tape to decorate the cover. I had a cover from Zutter, some grunge board, magic mesh, chipboard and other things I could decorate with. I glued all the stuff on the cover and started to cut pieces of metal tape and glued them on the cover. I used a thick knitting needle to rub over the tape. When I had put tape on all over the cover I painted black acrylic paint over the cover and used tissue paper and wiped it off right away.

Bestillingskort/2 Cards
En kollega trengte 2 bursdagskort til to som fylte 50 år. Jeg fikk frie tøyler bare at det skulle stå navn og 50 år på begge kortene.
A colleague needed 2 birthday cards to give away. I could do what I wanted, the only instructions was to put the name and 50 years on the front of the card.

Smågaver/small gifts
Kjøpte telys med stjerner på før jul i fjor, men glemte helt av de så nå har de fått følge av en fyrstikkeske og jeg har pyntet en clearbag og da har man en liten vertinnegave hvis man skal på et juleselskap
I bought some candles with red stars on before Christmas last year, but I forgot that I had them. I have decorated a box with matchsticks and made a top for a clearbag and it is now a small gift to give away if you are invited to a Christmas party.

Notatblokk/Notepads
Noen smågaver er kjekke å ha på lur. Alle bruker notatblokker til å skrive huskelister eller handlelister, og det er mye penere å ha en med et fint cover enn bare å ha blokken liggende på bordet.
Some small gifts is convenient to have just in case you need it. Everybody uses notepads to write shopping lists or list to remember what to do, and it's much nicer to have a notepad with a nice cover.

høsten er tid for strikking, men jeg har holdt et jevnt tempo i hele år så det kommer nok mere i bloggen etter hvert.
The fall is time for knitting, but I have knitted all year so I will continue upload handknitted things in my blog.
Først et par votter til en venninne/First a pair of mittens to one of my friends.
Et par pulsvarmere som jeg skal legge ut for salg/A pair of wrist warmers for sale
Noen flere kjøkkenkluter/More kitchen cloths
og et par sokker til meg selv/and a pair of socks for my self

Gave til Pat/Present for Pat
En av mine gode venner i England flyttet til Brighton for å gå på skole et par år - og jeg elsker å overraske med små gaver. Siden jeg har fått dilla på å strikke kjøkkenkluter så lagde jeg en pakke med 3 til Pat også. Fikk beskjed om at gaven hadde kommet frem og da kan jeg legge det ut i bloggen. Notatblokken har jeg dekorert med tapetprøver som jeg har fått.
One of my good friends in England moved to Brighton to go to school for a couple of years - and I love to surprise my friends with gifts. Since I have made so many kitchen cloths I fixed 3 for Pat too. I have got a message that the gift has arrived and now I can upload the pictures in my blog. I have used wall paper to decorate the notepad.

Fotokube/Photo cube
Bind-it maskina kan brukes til å lage mye forskjellig, og den er min trofaste venn som jeg bruker veldig mye. Denne gangen har jeg laget en fotokube med plass til 4 bilder. Jeg har kuttet til 6 biter med chipboard i størrelsen 4" x 4" og limt pyntepapir på den ene siden. Så har jeg punchet hull på alle sidene og bundet sammen kuben med hamptråd.
You can use the Bind-it all machine to make a lot of different things, and it's my trusted friend that I use a lot. This time I have made a cube with 4 pictures. I have cut 6 pieces of chipboard in the size 4" x 4" and glued scrapbook paper on one of the sides. Then I have punched hole on all the sides and used thread to bind the cube together.

Mosaikk kort/Mosaic card
Var igjen litt rester etter at jeg lagde en notatbok som jeg har lagt ut litt tidligere. Dermed ble det et mosaikk kort.
I had some leftovers after I made a notebook I have uploaded in the blog earlier. I made a mosaic card.

Hello Kitty
Fant oppskriften på disse søte luene her: http://smoochiemonsters.blogspot.com/2010/05/oppskrift-pa-hello-kitty-luen-min.html og jeg syns de var så søte at jeg måtte strikke et par til de to prinsessene til ene venninna mi. Håper de passer og at de blir fornøyde når de kommer i posten.
I found a pattern for these cute Hello Kitty caps on the internet and I had to knit a couple for two princesses I know. I hope they fit and that they like them when they arrive in the mail.
