welcome, this is Made in Hägn

Several of the blogs that I read have written lists of seven things about themselves. In order to give, any reader that I might have or get, a chance to know me a bit better I've made such a list too. You'll find it below the picture. Enjoy!

The second garment I made from one of my handwoven fabrics. The pattern technique is called dukagång.

1. My favorite color in the whole wide world is orange. Bright glowing orange. Like in the picture. I don't link orangey colors that aren't orange to me at all. I especially hate a kind of faded orange that has a bit of pink in it. Sometime people see that color and thinks that I will like it. I will not, I want the real deal.
2. I like to know a process from the beginning to the end, to know and master everything. Well, at least if it's something that I'm interested in. That makes me extra proud of the things that I've got that are made of wool from my sheep Elsa (she's no longer alive, which also makes 'her' stuff super important). I feed her and took care of her. I shore her. I carded the wool. I spun the yarn. Some of it I dyed with vegetable dyes. And finally I knitted something out of her wool.
3. If I don't already have an opinion in a subject, I can't help but feeling drawn to having the opposite opinion to that of the majority, or the one that no one else has! I'm really good at thinking of things from another persons perspective, which is mostly good. I don't hate people, cause to me it's pretty obvious that the people that do bad things aren't as lucky as I am in one way or another.
4. Normally I don't like to watch a movie or an episode of a TV-series that I've already watched. With one exception, Friday Night Lights. I love it beyond words.
5. One of the best times in my life was when I went to school in one part of Sweden, had my boyfriend in another and my family in yet another. I appreciated that I could concentrate on one thing at a time and I felt so lucky and fortunate to have so many good things in my life when I traveled between those places.
6. To me, Christmas is decorating the Christmas tree with my siblings on the eve before Christmas eve and to eat my families Christmas ham. But since I am a loving and caring girlfriend I will spend this Christmas with my boyfriend, without those things.
7. A lot of the things involved in sewing, weaving (especially weaving), knitting and the likes, is really boring to do. But I want the result, so I do them anyway. I definitely hasn't done a craft because I find the process especially rewarding. The reward is in the end, when I have something that is unique and only mine.
