so, waiting more than two months between every update might not be the smartest move to get and eventually keep any readers... i could blame it on having exams before x-mas and on the internet connection at my parents' only allowing me to read vox for two weeks. but now i'm back with my own steady internet connection and i can only blame myself for neclegting this blog. oh well, i should have plenty to write about now! i think i'll start with paris!
that's me, to prove i
was actually there. well, it was a funny story - i went with a friend
from high shool (and he shall have the credits for the good pictures!)
to visit another friend from high shool who studied in paris in the
autumn. but the day before we go it turn out our friend in paris has
forgotten all about our visit and was back in norway! we went anyway,
tho', found a cheap hostel near the bastille and near two other friends
from high school who by coincidence was in paris that very weekend. so
things turned out all right anyway.
of course, i had to look for yarn. we found la drougerie but it was crowded and i didn't buy anything there. just touched all the beautiful yarn and looked at all the wonderful beads! but at anny blatt i did some shopping!.
only three skeins tho' - the green one i'm holding on the picture (wool
with 15% cashmere), one with some metallic mohair and one with 50% wool
and 50% poil de chameau which i bought because i didn't
understand what it was. turns out it's camel hair in case you don't
know any more french than i do. i'm pretty pleased about now having
some camel hair in my stash, but i do not for the life of me understand
why i didn't buy more than 125 grams of yarn!? i could've bought two
skeins of each, for instance...
by this point, my friend was bored so we had to find a record shop instead. and the rest of the weekend we did touristy stuff like visiting that tower, louvre and shop x-mas presents. i also met a girl from livejournal and bought some pretty clothes. then we flew home.
