På ein heilt alminneleg torsdag har eg hatt ein langt frå alminneleg dag.
An ordinary Thursday spent in a far from ordinary way.
Turen gjekk over fjorden, til Solvorn.
I travelled across the fjord to Solvorn.
Så over fjorden igjen. Lustrafjorden denne gongen, frå Solvorn til Ornes.
Then across the fjord again, the Lustrafjord, from Solvorn to Ornes.
Jaudå, stavkyrkja er vakker, inspirerande og alt det der. Vel verdt turen, berre den.
Oh yes, the stavechuch there is beautiful, inspiring and all that. It is well worth the trip, regardless.
Men takka vere Ravelry har eg møtt tre nye strikkevener i dag: to amerikanske og ei norsk.
Thanks to Ravelry I met up with three new knitting friends today. One is Norwegian, the other two are American.
Grete og eg lærte å legge opp med Twisted German cast-on. Då eg googla det, fann eg eit anna namn på det: Old Norwegian. Litt fleire snoingar enn vanleg, men meir elastisk.
Grete and I learned to do the Twisted German cast-on. I googled it, and found another name for it: Old Norwegian. It has more twists and turns than my regular way, but is said to be more elastic. We will have to practice some more, so that we remember how it is done.
Me lærte også Judy’s Magic cast-on: perfekt for tå-opp sokkar. Veldig pent, så dette må øvast på.
We also learned Judy’s Magic cast-on. It is very pretty, and seems perfect for toe-up socks. I will have to check youtube for this one, but I am sure I will manage.
Og så prøvde me oss på tvebandstrikk. Laura er spesialist, og ein god pedagog.
And we tried our hand at entwined knitting. Laura is a very able teacher. Sorry about messing up your tension, Laura.
Grete og Laura finn du på Ravelry – ein super møtestad!
You can find both Grete and Laura on Ravelry – a great meeting place!
Litt seint oppdaga eg at Laura også er quiltar. Vel – ein rekk ikkje over alt på nokre få timar. Kanskje blir det ein neste gong – .
Very late in the day I discovered that Laura is also a quilter. Well – there was only a few hours anyway. Maybe we’ll meet up some other time –.

Vi møtest for sjeldan!
Dette såg og høyrdest spanande ut!
Kjære Marianne! Så flott du har skrevet om dagen vår. Det var helt fantastisk. Jeg tror kanskje Ravelry er en fredsbevarende organisasjon? Jeg lærte ikke så mye, men jeg skal øve meg. kanskje jeg tar Tindevegen og øver sammen med deg. Vi ses!
Hilsen Grete på den andre sida av fjellet
Kjære Miranne, Your blog is so nice! you took such a sweet picture of Grete. I too like the "Old Norwegian cast on" and have been using it for years. I found it in an old book and took hours to figure it out. Now on Utube it is easy to see how to do it. I have written to Grete and very much enjoy writing to you girls in Norway. My great grandparents came from Sogn and so I truly enjoyed your beautiful pictures. I am studing norsk and maybe some day will be able to write in it! Cindy
