Just for fun. Here is my latest product. The serpent. Þór loves it and I have said that he and the other children can play with it here. Guess if he asked he can take it home.

    I can see why he loves it.  It's very bright and colorful.  Nice job!  I was hoping you'd show us a picture of it.

    aw - he's cute :-)
  • mobil said on Oct 13, 2007....

    That's a scary snake Skald  haha, you are really getting into making, knitting things. That's so great, these things will outlast you in most instances. I still have a teddy bear that I had when I was a child. I'll give it to my grandkids.

    These things they will remember us by after we are gone, these and other things of course haha.......I love your pictures Skald.

    Quiet.  Yes, it was fun knitting but a bit too much when I had to sew it together Þór has taken him into his procession.
    Secret.  As I am going to the continent on Tuesday I think I will give the knitting a rest.
    Uniquely.  Yes, he really loves it Thanks
    Battycat. Thanks
    Mobil  Yes, really scary hahah, Bet your grandkids love the old bear. Thanks Mobil
    Polar  I bet you do have the talent. But I really don't think I have any. Thanks
    Daily,. Guess I use all the time I have. Thanks Daily.  .

    Ed. Thanks, þór won´t let it go and then he swings it around. I had to strengthen all the seems today. lol 
  • wombat said on Oct 13, 2007....
    Like the serpent!  I could go to sleep with that cuddled around my neck. (I also like the painting in the background!)
  • skald said on Oct 13, 2007....
    Wombat. The painting is done by my uncle Oddur and is of our sacred place. I could say and now a national park Þingvellir. I think I have to show it better someday. We bought it from him when I was pregnant with my older son Beggi. It is quite a story and maybe I should blog about it some day if I remember. 
  • sweet_cookie01 said on Oct 13, 2007....
    looks so cuddly and its colorful.... you never cease to amaze me!
  • skald said on Oct 13, 2007....
    Sweet. Thanks so much. 
  • mobil said on Oct 13, 2007....
    You were talking about the genes and Icelanders not getting the blues from the short days there in the winter. That's interesting and I didn't know that. I get the blues here after winter drags on  and our days are not all that short. thanks Skald
  • skald said on Oct 13, 2007....
    Mobil.  Now we have to find out where your genes are from and maybe that could explain the situation. Sure there might be some Icelanders that still get the short days blues but they are not so many. As for me I don't notice those things. Still I like sleeping in darkness. The brightness in summer dose not bother me. But one thing I require is stillness. Thanks Mobile. 
  • wombat said on Oct 13, 2007....
    skald:  I hope you do post about the painting.  It sounds even more interesting now!
  • skald said on Oct 13, 2007....
    Wombie. I have to show the whole painting at least some day.It is big and is on so many family photos, with the boys small at Christmas and on so many other occasions. 
  • wombat said on Oct 13, 2007....
    skald:  Will look for it if you decide to do so.
  • skald said on Oct 13, 2007....
    Wombie. Only remember I A am going to the continent and I might forget all about it but then you could remind me later. That would not be too bad as I love my uncle and would like to show his painting. Luv
  • wombat said on Oct 13, 2007....
    I will do my best to remind you later.

    skald, very cool snake!  What a wonderful grandma you are!
  • the_infernal_optimist said on Oct 13, 2007....
    That snake is so cool! :) Great job, skald!

  • hotaka said on Oct 14, 2007....
    It reminds me of the kind of things my mother (a Dane originally) used to make for me. It brings back memories!
  • skald said on Oct 14, 2007....
    Wombat.  Thanks
    MismMimi.  Thanks that's nice to hear
    Infernal  Thanks dear
    Hotaka.  The Danes are good at knitting. I have a Danish friend that sometimes sends me knitted things. One cardigan that she did and I wear all the time looks like it was not  hand knitted because it is so finely done but it is hand knitted. Thanks.

    Hi, I like your snake, I guess you intended it for protection against drafts--but your grandson has better ideas...I was thinking of making something similar when we lived in windy Tzfat but now we don't have that much of a winter...If crafts were more available to the younger generations there could be less of a smoking problem, a being bored problem etc.
  • skald said on Oct 14, 2007....
    Trinov.  You are so right about the being bored problem. It is always so good to see you my friend. 
  • queenparanoia said on Oct 14, 2007....
    that was nice skald!!! i'm hoping you'll post more of your creations... =)
