tried to teach me last year to knit socks, and i managed to get to the heel but then she moved to another city so…i stopped there…still want to learn, but i don´t find it any easy to try online. im not sure how im going to do it.
She also taught me how to use the sewing machine and by chance i got to this shop that was closing and were selling sewing machines half price, so i got one and now ive many projects. It´s exciting!! I want to learn and learn more!

How I did it: I got bored of waiting (i´ve been wanting to take classes since in was 7) , and decided that the time was "now", literally. I have time, i can pay it and i don´t want to wait. it was hard because it´s always hard to start something new specially as an adult but after the first day (that wasn´t nice, i have to say, didn´t find the changing room and got lost on the way) it´s just getting better and better. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I discovered this project long time ago, 3 or 4 years ago and it remained in my memory for long till last summer when i decided that i had to do something different. So i organized it more or less and went up to Norway to a farm in the middle of nowhere. The enviroment was great and the work was fine, i had plently of free time after work to do other activities as cannoeing and hiking.

Im glad that my motivation is back, i now don´t see the point of living here without the language, it´s wrong…so ill continue, more effort into studying and practicing too.
