I did that once for a kid's afghan, but it was done in so many crazy colors to match her room that it was almost overwhelming. I am a huge fan of the white on white with the subtle change of texture. Ooo la la! I love your blog and all the inventive ideas I am finding here.

You al...Holy cow, I'm getting worse not better! You all make me laugh. <br /><br />Inga Helene - I corrected a few mistakes but left the Norsk words that I put an "ing" at the end because it was so ridiculous. I am hoping I can look back on this post one day and wonder "what was I thinking" and then giggle. The kind and sweet corrections from these comments are so helpful so, please, please, please continue. :-) <br /><br />You are so right Amy, I have never had anything but a positive experience with the Norwegians when I really mess up the language. They make me feel good about trying. Keep up the good work, I bet the Captain is proud!<br /><br />Brilleting, your blog is always a smile maker. I'm so glad you smiled at this post. You may like to see my "Bunad" post for photos of Norsk paper dolls.<br /><br />Hey, K - the link is fixed now. Thank you for letting me know. Next time we get together to crochet let's stryk our pj's and pillow cases instead. ;-) BTW - I did not have the heart to wear my ironed pj's last night...I would have had to lie there real still in an effort to keep them wrinkle free. Oh and the NVO loves "creepers."<br /><br />Malu-Tonight I will Bønn for Bønner. Once I mixed up advokat (attorney) and apekatt (monkey). That really confused the Norsks. Oh and please let me know how the cookies turn out. We baked off the forzen ones yesterday and they are already gone!Astrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04067856134006344495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172768288628385386.post-12267059521206278602011-03-12T11:18:25.627-07:002011-03-12T11:18:25.627-07:00FYI the link in your story doesn't work, at le...FYI the link in your story doesn't work, at least for me. But, since I know where to find the NVO's blog (I've been "creeping" in his words) I was able to read the story. Great Story. I can't even imagine the luxury of ironed pajamas and pillow cases...of course I can't imagine me ironing them...guess I'll never know.khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14820478099724415415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172768288628385386.post-61040339000823102782011-03-12T09:09:16.671-07:002011-03-12T09:09:16.671-07:00Hei Astri :o)

Norsk er ikke ...Hei Astri :o)<br />Så flinke dere er :o)<br />Norsk er ikke så enkelt. Ikke bare har vi mange ord som høres likt ut, men vi har også mange ord som betyr det samme. Bønner (prayer/beans) For eksempel.<br />Ikke rart man blir forvirret.<br />Takk for oppskriften på Asbjørns shortbread cookies.<br />Gleder meg til å bake dem :o)<br /><br />Ha en fin helg :o)Maluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10990603154378804808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172768288628385386.post-85914899930108365032011-03-12T06:35:50.863-07:002011-03-12T06:35:50.863-07:00And to correct myself: It's called pyjamas, no...And to correct myself: It's called pyjamas, not what I originally wrote ;-)Ingahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17779632359489631263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172768288628385386.post-38182435360674942462011-03-12T02:10:37.574-07:002011-03-12T02:10:37.574-07:00I'm so impressed by your efforts to learn Norw...I'm so impressed by your efforts to learn Norwegian.

There are many words that s...Hahaha, easy mistakes! There are many words that sound incredibly similar and confuse the heck out of we non-native speakers. However, the majority of Norwegians have a good laugh, correct us, and don't think anything more about it! I simply enjoy giving them something to laugh about! ;-)<br />However, that Norwegian is an "easy" language to learn I must say I disagree with you. It's a difficult language and probably mostly because of all the different dialects around here. I tried to learn Norwegian when I lived in the states but it was almost impossible. When you study for an hour a night and the rest of the time everything is in English, it's difficult. Much easier when we live here, because while I also get a lot of English here through tv, radio, etc...I'm surrounded by Norwegian as well! The first year here I didn't really try to learn, I just let the Captain translate everything for me afterwards, but when he headed out to sea, I had no choice! Sink or swim, and I'm proud to say I'm swimming pretty good these days! ;-) <br />Have a great Saturday!Skogkjerringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269245867852737707noreply@blogger.com
