Bright nights and …
The picture was taken last night at about 3.30 am. This is about as dark as it gets up here during the summer. 3.30 am – it’s around that time I go to sleep these days. Then it has cooled down enough to be able to sleep, I’m lucky that I’m a student so I can manage my own time. This would never work if I had a job to go to.
I almost had a heartattack this morning. I was just about to heat some food in the microwave when it decided to die. And it did so with sparkles and a bang. So now we’re without microwave 
Will have to see if I can find a cheap one somewhere, it’s so handy in our tiny flat.
Today I’m not planning to do too much. Some laundry, knitting, studying, a trip to the post office, mac’n’cheese for dinner tonight… other than that… just chill and eat ice cream

Can I moan any more?
Just a tiny, quick update from me. I don’t have too much to write about since most days are like the day before… more or less. It’s just too darn hot for me BUT *yay* tomorrow it will get cooler. At least for a few days. I hope it will last longer than that so I can get lots and lots of stuff done. Anyway, the heat is messing with my apetite as well so I get all dizzy because I haven’t eaten. My cure is a piece or two of chocolate. The one in the photo is my favourite at the moment. Chocolate and orange *YUM*
Other than eating chocolate and sweating away I’ve been busy with school assignments, knitted one sock (the other sock will have to wait ‘til next month because I need to buy more yarn), started my Dr Who scarf started another pair of wristlets. So… even though it doesn’t feel like it I do get something done… at least a little.
Tonight is movie night, I Robot on TV and a bowl of strawberries for me

Dr Who:ify Me
When will this knitting madness end? Well, hopefully never cause I’m having a blast with it. Today I visit my local yarn store and bought LOTS of yarn for my next big project. It’s nothing less than a full size Dr Who scarf I’m mad I know. But I’m absolutely positively sure that it will be worth every stitch in it once it’s done.
I’m also busy working on an assignment I have in the game analysis course. We have to design a pen & paper game for 2 persons. A bit tricky but fun!
And the studio journal class I taking, WOW! That one is a lot of fun! I get to play with paper and glue Be free to play and create and let my mind run wild. I love it! I’m halfway through that class and I will be so sad when it’s over.

Watermelon zombie
I know… one shouldn’t complain over the weather but it’s not the weather that is my problem it’s the darn heat. I can’t think straight when it’s like this. I only have a few hours in the morning and a few hours at night when I get things done. That’s when it’s somewhat cool. Besides that I just exist, trying to cope. Dreaming about sandy beaches and cool oceans.
I’m like a zombie, slow - a bit of a simpleton really. All I think of is watery food like watermelon. Waaaatermelooon…Mmmm….

Pomatomus wristwarmers
My large crocheted throw is officially not a work-in-progress at the moment, at least not while it’s so hot. I can’t stand crocheting on it with the whole thing in my lap! BUT I am working on other stuff, smaller stuff. This weekend I knitted wristwarmers.
Pattern: Slightly adapted version of Pomatomus by Cookie A.
Materials: small ammount of SandnesGarn - Sisu
Needles: 3 mm KnitPro dpns
Started: June 26, 2009
Finished: June 27, 2009
Comments: I really enjoyed knitting the pomatomus pattern. I cast on 48 stitches and followed the chart to a T, added 1*1 ribbing at both ends. They feel a tad too tight but I think that I’ll be able to wear them anyway. I definately want to use this pattern again, but I don’t know for what. Might be socks but I’m tempted to try something else… A fun and easy knit!
These were also my first project with my new KnitPro needles. I’ve only used really cheap plastic/metal kind of needles before so wasn’t sure what to expect. Well, I LOVE my new needles. It’s so soft and smooth, like butter. Hard to explain but the knitting experience just got SO much better! Only problem is… that now I only want to knit with these (Dear Santa… pleeeease…)
