First knittings of 2015

Socks I made for myself. It was a try of new wool, that I enjoyd using. So there will be coming more socks with this kind of wool.

Socks that I actually planne dto make for my dad, but they came way too big to him ( a lesson learned- never count stiches when you are sick :)) & now my nephew got it.

Hat with Estonian Pattern, this time from Kihnu island

First there were socks. I hadn't been knitting for some 15 years but in winter my feet got cold & the decision was made, try to make myself a pair of woolen socks. Left ones are the first one, right ones are already a try of some more interesting wool.

These socks I made for my mom.

My first hat.

Wrist warmers.

Mittens for my dad. It was actually my first attempt to knit tradional Estonian patterns & just my lack of knowledge made theis pair so big it only fit my dad. But the pattern itself is local, from the same parish I live in- Tori.

A mitten/ fingerless for myself.

Gloves using mt home parish pattern, the so-called window pattern (aknakiri).

These gloves got my mom for Mother's Day. Again I used an Estonian pattern but this time not from my home parish but still from my home county.

Back again.

It's been for few years now but I'm back at blog world again. My aim in this blog not to get bubbling all about my life but more keep myself in track what I've been up to, sort of diary I assume. You are welcome to join in in my journey again. I'll be blogging mostly in English, mainly 'cos my wiriting skills in my own native language Estonian aren't very good & secondly to keep practicing my writing English.

Winter is here / Talv on siin

*Hi guys! I'm back again! Since I'm back at the university & the studies take a lot of time I haven't had time to blog for quite some time.But I try to do a bit better & keep my blog going but it defenitely won't be very regular.

*Tere! Mina jälle siin! Siirdusin see sügis tagasi ülikooli ja pole sellepärast eriti aega saanud, et blogida.Proovin siiski olla natuke parem ja jätkata oma blogi, aga arvatavasti ei saa see olema enam väga regulaarne.

*Winter is here & whatta winter! The photos here are taken some time ago & we couldn't imagine back then that it would be so early & with so heavy snow. Last winter had a lot of snow but this season has highly over come it...And it has only began.

*Talv on siin ja veel milline talv! Pildid on tehtud mõned nädalad tagasi ja poleks siis uskunud, et lund tuleb nii palju ja nii varakult. Juba eelmine talv oli lumerohke, aga seekordne on juba praeguseks selle ületanud... Ja ta alles algab.

Midsummer in Jõesuu / Jaanid Jõesuus

*Since I've been very busy & therefore haven't had time for blogging quite awhile, I now try to catch up with the happenings in my life, some may go back as far as in June.But this summer has really been very special & I'm deeply grateful to all those people out there who have been a part of it, like Heli, my buddy...I spent my midsummer at hers in Jõesuu ( a village in the same parish where I live, around 15 km distance from my home), we didn't have any fire or any other tradition midsumme doings but still I enjoyd my time spent there.
*Kuna see suvi on olnud tõeliselt kiire ja töine, ei ole mul olnud eriti palju aega oma blogi pidamiseks.Üritan siis nüüd kaotatud aega tasa teha ja anda ülevaate mida ma olen teinud, mõned neist asjadest võivad tagasi minna isegi juunisse.See suvi on tõeliselt eriline ja ma olen väga tänulik kõigile, kes on selles oma osa mänginud- nagu Heli, üks mu parimaid sõbrannasid...Veetsin selle aasta jaanid tema juures Jõesuus ( küla samas vallas kus minagi elan, kuskil 15 km minu juurest), meil ei olnud jaanituld ega üldse ühegi traditsioonilist jaanipäeva tegevust kuid ma nautisin väga seda aega, mis ma seal veetsin.

*Heli daughter's turtois.
*Heli tütre kilpkonn.

*Jõesuu. The name means river mouth, there are more than one river in the neighbourhood, which give this place a special flavour.

*Jõesuu.Nagu nimigi ütleb, on jõed siinkandis väga olulised.

*Hanging bridge.

*Rippsild.

*Nest of storks, there were actually three nests in only few meters.

*Toonekure pesa, tegelikult oli seal kolm pesa väga väikesel alal.

*Dwarf's Pine as it's called, under protection.

*Päkapiku mänd.

Birthday party / Sünnipäev

*I actually don't like my birthdays, it's the worst possible time of the year to be born.I never get a proper birthday party, since everybody is gone somewhere & so have to celebrate for multiple times.But I'm really grateful to my friends to even bother to come out with me or what ever, to have some kind of celebration.Here are photos from the dinner out in the pizzeria with my friends Viki & Jenny & their boyfriends.
*Mulle ei meeldi minu sünnipäevad, kõige kehvem aeg sünnipäeva pidamiseks üldse.Mitte kunagi ei õnnestu mul kõiki inimesi ühte kohta kokku saada ja niimoodi pean ma alati pidama mitu pidu.Aga ma olen väga tänulik neile sõpradele, kes vaevuvad midagi koos minuga tegema.Siin on mõned pildid õhtusöögist väljas koos minu sõprade Viki ja Jenny ning nende elukaaslastega.

*Jenny is feeding Rosco :).
*Jenny toidab Roscot:).

*It was very hot & the large coke was really in hand.

*Oli tõelsielt palav Ja see suur coca oli igati teretulnud.

*Viki & Josh.

*Now take picture how I feed my wife :).

* Ja nüüd tee pilti kui ma toidan oma naist:).

*There must have been something funny.

*Oli vist midagi naljakat.

*One of my friends got me this special mug.Thanx!

*Üks minu sõpradest kinkis mulle sellise erilise tassi.Aitäh!

The essence of summer. / Suve hingus.

*Bindweed.Could be very annoying when it grows at the places where you do not want it to grow but in any other case a real beauty.
*Kassitapp.Tõeline nuhtlus kui see on otsustanud kasvada mõne sellise koha peal, kus sa teda eriti näha ei sooviks.Muidu aga tõeliselt ilus.
