About this blog:
I originally set up this blog to encourage myself to work on my photography and image processing. As so often happens I lost interest and the blog evolved into a personal space. After some thought the name was changed to Random.
Why "Random"?
I have a multitude of interests and I have no specific plan for the blog. What strikes my fancy in the moment winds up here (in addition to travel photos and nowadays, knitting patterns). The name has also become suitable in a new and unexpected way as I have taken up knitting more seriously: I tend to go about my knitting in a patternless semi-unplanned spur-of-the-moment fashion as well.
These are my ramblings, what I choose to share. They are far from a complete picture of my life, but presumably the rest is either none of your business, boring or I simply didn't have time because real life took over.
About me:
Norwegian thirty-something female living in Stockholm, Sweden. Day job as IT-manager, in my spare time half-seriously plotting how to make all the creative processes going on in my head into something that will pay the rent. I jokingly call my flat "the Hermitage" because of my solitary life style.
Loves all kinds of crafting, inventing and making things. Boredom easily strikes when something is too simple or repetitive, however. Reads a lot, however a lot less than I used to, instead spending time on other hobbies. Mostly I knit and tat, but I also play around with papercraft, paint and print, photography, crochet, embroidery, jewellery making, and other creative outlets (I would love to have the possibility to work with wood - turning or carving or both, as well as stone, but a Sthlm flat is not a suitable place for those.). I also love plants and I dream of having a little house with a garden - but until then I grow things on my balcony and in my flat.
Pretends not to drink coffee and has a slight obsession about tea, and now and then coerces workmates and random acquaintances to come and play board games.
