After weeks of knitting on and off I have finally finished knitting a pair of ragg socks for myself. I wrote about how the first sock turned out to be too small for me and that I wanted to knit them for my friend, but after thinking about how cold me feet were I decided to open up the toe and knit the ragg socks larger. The socks still turned to be a bit too small, but with some wear they will get bigger and I have to wash them carefully for them not to shrink.

Here is a picture of the finished knitted ragg socks:

I have been having a bit of trouble finding a job at this new place where I moved 2 months ago. There seems to be less jobs on the marked than just half a year ago and especially less jobs that I am qualified for. Now that the economy seems to get into a bit of a downturn it can be helpful to have places where you can look for new jobs. There are many different websites on the internet where you can look for jobs.

If you live in the area of New Jersey in USA you can check out a website called New Jersey Sales Jobs. There you can easily find available sales jobs in the area of New Jersey.
The way it works is that this site lists available jobs they have found on the net so it makes it very easy if you are interested in a sales job. The jobs are listed by freshness and there seems to be many opportunities to choose from.
The website also has a search engine that you can use to search for the job that fits you perfectly.
This seems like a very handy site if you are looking for a sales job in New Jersey, US.

Some very disturbing news from Alaska. According to Reuters the Alaskan stock of pollock fish has fallen by 50 percent since last year and is facing total collapse.
Pollock is an important source for fish in the fast food industry in the US and McDonalds use them in their fish sandwiches so this can have huge influences on the good marked in US

The quota was cut by 28 percent from 2007 to 2008, but the researchers say the pollock is not able to reproduce fast enough to rebuild the stock. This fish species is very important to the fishermen in Alaska and also for the wildlife in the ocean.

I really hope that the authorities will be able to stop the collapse and that this should be a warning to the rest of the world that the fish in the sea is not an endless resource.

The car maker Nissan has a soft spot in my hearth. My favorite uncle always had Nissan cars and I am really fond of cars from Japan. Nissan might be the brand I will choose when I buy my next car.

If you live in the area of MA in USA you should check out a website called Nissan Dealer MA. This website is run by a company called Framingham Nissan and is a Nissan dealer for the areas Wellesley, Marlboro, Natick, Needham, Milford and Framingham itself.
This car dealer got about every model that Nissan sells on the American marked and if they do not have the model you want they can probably get it for you. You can choose models from the sporty Nissan Altima to the pick up truck Nissan Frontier to different SUVs like Nissan Murano and Armada. Framingham Nissan sells both new and used vehicles so there should be a car for most budgets. To find the model that you want you simply use the search engines on their website. They have different search engines for used and new vehicles which make it very simple to find the car for your needs.

After you have bought a vehicle from this company they have a very nice tool on their website where you can schedule your next service for your vehicle. Sounds very handy compared to the way it used to be done offline.

Here is a great idea on how to renew your old clothes. One of my friends simply crocheted a border/edge from some leftover yarn and then sew it on an old skirt that she wasn’t using anymore.
Now she have a skirt with a completely different look and doesn’t have to buy a new one. What a great way to recycle your old clothes! If one use a little imagination and got some crafting skills one can really make a lot of cool stuff out of old clothes.

Here is a picture of the new old skirt with crocheted border:

One of my friends decided that she needed a new scarf so she started knitting a multi colored one out of some leftover yarn. It looks a bit “crazy” (or hippie), but I like it and I bet it is very warm.
We have been having frost in the nights here so it is time to take out all those warm wool clothes that we need in the winter season here in Norway.

And here is a picture of the hand knitted multi colored scarf (almost done):
