It's been a few weeks since I posted and I was going to wait until Monday as I don't post at the weekends, but I've missed blogging and this morning really had the motivation to post. So here I am ;)
So, what have I been up to? Well, I went to Norway for a week with cunning boyfriend. I've read a lot of books, finished 3 of my WIPs and generally tried to relax, reduce pressure and be kind to myself.
I was surprised to have finished 3 projects, as I have not been pressurising myself to knit at all (something that came from taking a blogging break I think). Some days I haven't picked up the needles at all and that's been good. And taking off that pressure gave me back the enjoyment of knitting and suddenly all sorts of progress was made (including finishing boyfriend's second sock, that he has been waiting for since February!)
I haven't got round to taking pictures of them yet, I'll save them up for a few weeks worth of FO Fridays I think *laughs*
In the meantime, here are some pictures from my trip (I have some much better ones that boyfriend took, but I'm waiting for him to watermark them before I share!) Also, I found a yarn store in Bergen and purchased some Norwegian yarn. More about that next week *laughs*
I was wondering where you've been! Beautiful pictures, glad to hear you had a lovely time!
