part of my current knitting project - a baby sweater. hmm i seem to prefer small scale knitting

breakfast this morning

the postman brought me an interesting package some days ago. it was from irene of såg ungefär ut så här. she send me some beautiful, beautiful prints - thanks irene! so very sweet of you, it really made my day. : )

these pictures are from this weekend. its hotter than i can ever remember and very humid. phew…we’ve been staying inside mostly planning the wedding (its our wedding invitations in the last photo) but also our vacation. i’ll tell you more about it soon!

hope you are having a great weekend

small fragments of hamburg: a see through curtain, a green hotel sign, an abandoned chair and a train window landscape

thanks for all your comments to my last post and for the congratulation wishes! so very sweet of you : )

NE took me on a surprise visit to hamburg this weekend and we are getting married! it’s been the best weekend ever!

contemplating the world and whether elephants really do live in africa. we’ve had little guests and friends over for coffee today.

hope you’ve had a great weekend!

a recent shrift store find

cakes from the celebration of brinja’s shop’s 5th birthday yesterday. boy they were good! my little “garden” has finally come to life - well at least a little bit. small green sprouts have appeared (only the rosemary is still sleeping). hope you’ll have a great friday folks!

NE and i went on a field trip to the area called kalvebod fælled. a sort of heath area close to ørestaden a fairly new part of copenhagen. i keep getting fascinated by the weird meeting of urbanisation and nature in this area. it looks so strange with a giant building complex in the middle of nowhere (third photo). you can read more about the building called 8tallet (in english number 8) here

good morning everyone! a couple of days ago my aunt dropped by and gave my all her knitting tools as she didn’t use them anymore. i’m so lucky! she also gave me some knitting books from the 70s. it was very interesting to see how different two of the books were allthough they were written almost at the same time. the one in picture 3 is called hønsestrik, the direct translation is chicken knitting. it’s an independent book release from 1973 talking about a liberation of both men and women from traditions and norms of knitting as everyone should feel free to knit whatever they felt like. i particularly like the photo of the guy called torben knitting in his office and a small detail on the front cover, the little kid picking his nose.

the other book is from a women’s magazine from 1971 (three last photos) and the models look completely different in this book. a lot more high society and nuclear family feel.

today is a national holiday in denmark so i’m just going to relax and take in easy. i hope you get to do the same - have a great friday!

copenhagen photo festival is coming up and i’m looking forward! the festival will present both significant danish and international contemporary photographers, spread out across the city with exhibitions in art institutions, galleries and urban spaces. it runs from may 12th – 20th starting with the main exhibition day & night on may 12th.

from tomorrow and until the end of the festival there’s also a photo competition, where everyone can contribute with their own pictures of copenhagen. one taken during the day and one at night, with the chance of winning a canon EOS 550 D - i sure wouldn’t mind : )

have a great weekend folks! i’ll show you some photos of my latest knitting project tomorrow. it involves small pom poms…

pictures from a walk today in a desolate industrial area not too far from where we live. such a strange place. i’ll show you some more photos tomorrow.

phew, the weekend is finally here. i have no plans other than sleeping a lot and relaxing. what are your plans? i really hope to get back to posting regularly again soon!

saw this beautiful tree reflextion on my way to work yesterday. and you might recognize these red branches from a couple of posts back. they are now wearing small green leaves.

have a great weekend everyone!
