Sorry I'm late

 

Ha ha, just kidding! Did you really think I’d sleep in and miss out on all the Halloween fun? 

Happy Halloween!

Withoute longinge

This scene was inspired by a lovely medieval poem (song lyrics, actually) I ran into in the internet. It’s from ca. 1430, in brackets you’ll find translations into modern-day English:

		5 10 15 20 25	“I have a yong suster [sister] Fer [far] biyonde the see; Manye be the druries [gifts] That she sente me. She sente me the cherye Withouten any stoon [stone], And so she dide the dove Withouten any boon [bone]. She sente me the brere [briar] Withouten any rinde [bark]; She bad me love my lemman [sweetheart] Withoute longinge. How sholde any cherye Be withoute stoon? And how sholde any dove Be withoute boon? How sholde any brere Be withoute rinde? How sholde I love my lemman Withoute longinge? Whan the cherye was a flowr, Thanne hadde it no stoon; Whan the dove was an ey [egg], Thanne hadde it no boon. Whan the brere was unbred [ungrown], Thanne hadde it no rinde; Whan the maiden hath that [what] she loveth, She is withoute longinge.” May you all be withoute longinge this week!

Do you think she saw?

In honor of Halloween, I've dug "the boys" out from their lair again. Long time no see! So it's a sort of a come-back, this time with a new colleague...

Some knitting for a change

A  very fiesty 2-year-old I know is about to embark on his second winter in cold conditions. So I made him a lottle sweater to help keep him warm :)

 The pattern for the sweater itself is by Joelle Hoverson (got it through Ravelry), and the leaves pattern from a now apparently unavailable collection of old Finnish knitting patterns - originally for mittens, haha!

Halloween calls

Oh how fun to play with the old scratch board again :) It's a very fitting media for Halloween anyway...
