Cats and blackberries! Summer memories...

We shared the flat in Seattle with these two nice cats. The white one is a Manx cat. Close to the garden we could pick these deliciously sweet blackberries. Some would probably not eat them because of their location close to the motorway. We didn't care and found them very tasty ( and so did our hosts).

Jazz alley

For my birthday we visited Jazz alley for a great concert with Ahmad Jamal Here you can find what's on. This is a very useful website,for the lovers of Seattle and jazz.
Æ trøste mæ med bilda fra i sommer. Her e d trist og grått, mann og kamera e på vei te Italia, det e også lap-topen, men æ har fortsatt strikking, bok, god mat, vin, te og gode venna. Uka ska nok gå bra!!

Seattle pictures

Some of my favorite Seattle pictures.

Garnfangsten fra Seattle/My yarn catch

Første stopp kommer seinere. I visited 5 LYS in Seattle, meaning, local yarn shops. Mostly I used my bike. It was great fun

Pictures!

Today the weather was perfect according to my plans; cold and cloudy. I was going to upload all my pictures and blog. But you know what? The cable which I needed was missing, the one I need to connect my camera to the pc. Just my luck! And where had it gone do you think? Probably with my husband to work J

I'll just add a picture from the web, but that is cheating!!

Knitting, no!

It seems to be no time to knitting and blogging. The weather in Seattle is excellent, I use my borrowed bike every day. I've nearly been all over the place ;), I've taken a lot of pics as well, but I don't want to spend too much time inside, so I'll load the photos later.

I have visited three local yarn shops already, and I have taken their picture. Our visit to Ballard was mainly to visit The Nordic Heritage Museum, and there I bought a beautiful book about Latvian mittens, but I didn't realise until later that I could have found another LYS over there; The Full Circle.

Vacation has started

Arrived in Seattle yesterday afternoon, after 9 hours on board a plane, one hour sleep and trying to forget that it was turning into night, Norwegian time. We had dinner at five in the morning (Norwegian time), did some shopping and went to bed. I woke up at 3.20 (Am. time) and believed it was morning, stayed in bed until 6.30, went back to sleep again, managed to get some more sleep and was awake at a 7.45. This is not the usual me!!!!

We stay in the University District, at Chambered Nautilus. We love it here. I will post pics later. Through Ravelry I've found some yarn shops in my neighbourhood and I've already visited Acorn Street Shop. I bought some Noro yarn, bamboo needles and a magazine, Noro Joy.

The pictures in this entry were taken 5 years ago, when the camera was new, and we weren't familiar with the use of it!
