I am changing my mind again....... This knitting blog, which originally was in English when I started it a little more than two years ago, on the 8th of March 2017, became part English, part Norwegian, then it became all Norwegian, but now I am changing my mind yet again.......into English :-) There are actually a couple of reasons for this. First, most Norwegians are able to read and understand English, very few not Norwegians are able to read and understand Norwegian, so to make the blog readable for as many as possible.......well, English is the best language. Second, I am quite active on my podcast these days, much of it is about knitting, and for the moment I speak only Norwegian in the podcast. I know I have a few followers who do not understand Norwegian, so I am thinking that I can write here about what I talk about.
.......I might do something with the podcast as well, texting, speaking some English in between, or..., but so far it is in Norwegian only.
So.......what I do talk about in the last episode of Britt Arnhild on YouTube:
First, there is an introduction, the same as I use every time. Talking a little about myself.......I am Britt Arnhild, 60 years old, married to Terje, living just outside the Norwegian city of Trondheim, in a red house in the middle of a big garden. We have four grown up children, the oldest one living in Stockholm, Sweden, the three others in Trondheim, we have children in law and we have grandchildren. I am an ordained deacon, I have worked in several churches in Trondheim, but since 2000 I have worked in the diocese administration as an advicer. When I started the vlog or the podcast, I planned it as a garden vlog, but I have so many other interests beside gardening, and soon realised that I wanted to vlog about this and that. Like birds, hiking in nature, our cabin, food, travels, books and knitting.
Then I continue to talk about the rainbow calendar of Lent, and the third week of Lent which is yellow. Here comes a few childhood knitting memories.......I might write them down some day :-) The video with all the yarn is from a knitting shop one hour outside Trondheim, Garnbutikken Fortuna.
After the knitting memories I talk about the knitting I am working on, the rainbow shawl, where I knit colours according to the weeks.......and, listen, I do speak a few sentences in English, especially for Mardelle :-)
The yellow socks are part of a KAL I do with Garnbutikken Fortuna and the mittens are the Trondheim Mittens by Sofia Kammeborn, and in my show and tell section I show you something I made for the girls when they were small.
The reading is a legend I wrote myself a few years ago, "When the Yellowhammer learned to count to seven."
The last piece of music, First Tango, is a piece of music composed by my Icelandic sister in law, Margrét Kristín Sigurðardóttir. You find her webpage here: fabula.is
