Thank you for all your kind comments on my last post. It was great fun to get to know some small things about you and of course, get so many new music recommendations. If you're looking for some, you should check out the comment section, too...
I used the random number generator to pick someone to send the book to, and that person was Emily. I actually made a mistake the first time, so then I re-entered the number of comments into the generator and Emily's number came up again! So she is most definitely the winner.
When we first arrived in Norway at the beginning of 2008, Emily (who lives in Oslo) was so kind and welcoming to us. She also introduced me to the world of Norwegian loppemarked (flea markets), for which I was very grateful. We really don't have anything as cool as those here in NZ.
The weekend here was rather grey and cold. The children and I stayed inside yesterday afternoon and watched Where the Wild Things Are and I knitted this new winter hat for Tom. I used a pattern called 'Regular Guy Beanie' which you can download free from Ravelry here and alpaca/wool yarn (Patons 'Jet') in a dark grey shade. Simple, cosy and, well, regular.
