Well Aud, he is a 75 year old Danish/living in Canada. bachelor.

During the summer months he sails in the North Channel (Great lakes)
and
in the winter time he comes to Vancouver Island. He has addopted us
as
his family, Otto more so than me. However Otto is helping a friend
out
with house building and I was home alone. He wanted some info from
the
internet. He is one of these men that will always come along and help
out
where there is no help needed at all. So he was telling me how to use
my
computer....LOL he uses a PC and I have a Mac. It can become very
funny.....LOL Vagn Lassen sends his Sunday greetings as well. I made
hime some lunch and send him on his way again.

Oh; a real Danish name!
You told about him earlier, he comes to Vancouves Island because of the
mild climat!
Yes, I can see you two!LOL!
AND Els, I have thought about it...do you have mild in the winters?
And not too much rain?
We have a relly mild climat to be in Norway, but we have very MUCH rain!

Aud, thanks for the links to all the gorgeous pictures. My
hurtigruta trip
was in June so we probably didn't stop there long enough to get off.
Some
day I would like to do the whole 12 day trip.

My grandfather came from a farm near Vågå in Gudbrandsdalen. He
settled in
a part of Minnesota where it is as flat as a pancake, nothing like
Norway.
But he was smart (or lucky) because he chose an area where the soil
is
excellent for growing crops. He died many years before I was born so
I
never knew him. I believe my grandmother's family came from
somewhere in
Telemark.

Gudbrandsdalen as in Sigrid Undset's medieval novels??

Yes, that's right!
AUD ;-))

Yes Aud, Vancouver Island has, just like Norway a sea climate, with the
winters mild and rainy. The summers on the West coast of the Island (size
of England), are sunny but still have a fair amound of rain, on the South
East coast it is very dry and warm, like the South of France. We are
located on the East coast, just North of Victoria. Our summers are warm
enough to have many vineyards.

Today it is foggy with the sun doing it best to shine throught the clouds
rolling throught the trees. It looks very theatrical when the sun picks
up the colours of the lovely deep yellows of the aspen trees, with the
sheer ripped foggy clouds rolling by like trailing transparent wedding
vails

Nyssa, Vagn indeed is a bachelor, but pass him by, this man is so set in
his ways, he would drive you crazy, besides he can't stay in one place for
very long and the wander lust grabs him by the throad....and he is on the
move again......LOL

Helen how about this 8 strand round braid:

eight single strands on North South East and West and North West, North
East, South West and South East.

Moves are easy

1. North (East direction) to South,

2. South (West direction) to North.

3. East (North direction) to West

4. West (South direction) to East

5. North (East direction) to South,

6 South (West direction) to North.

7. North West (North direction) to South East

8. South East ( South direction) to North West

9. North East (East direction) to South West

10 South West (South direction) to North East

Have not done this braid for a while and will make one as well.

Sounds nice, and similar to the first one I did for that group, apart from
those last 4 cross moves. I tend to get a lot of repeat folk. That's why I
was thinking of a square braid, since they've had one round (16 strand
spiral) and one flat. I'll try a sample of this. Just on a read-through,
I'm confused about some of the moves. Are 7 and 8 moving the same thread?
Are 9 & 10 moving the same thread?

The little heart braid is neat as well, it is flat and also 8 strands.

That sounds nice. Is that the one that's on the net somewhere?

Yes Helen, if you are talking about the one, that is done with moving the
colours around and getting many different effects that way.
