Yarn Along - Kotes es olvasas

I have two passions that keep following me in life. One of them is reading, and the other one is knitting. I am sure this is not a revelation for you, if you read my blog from time to time. However, today I am going to combine the two with this icon, Yarn Along.
The idea behind this icon is to match up two things you enjoy. It could be a description of a knitting, and some musings over a book; or it can be a picture to illustrate your progress in knitting/crocheting and the book.
This is how I join in with Ginny on Wednesdays about knitting and reading.

Ket dolog van amit soha nem unok meg, az olvasas es a kotes. Gondolom, ez nem nagy hir, ha mar olvastatok a blogot, de most elhataroztam, hogy osszekotom oket a Yarn Along gombbal.
Itt az az otlet, hogy ossze hozzuk azt, ami orommel tolt el minket. Az lehet egy kotes/horgolas leirasa, es egy konyvrol valo monfondirozas. Es lehet egy foto is, amin a konyv es az alakulo kotes/horgolas van.
Igy csatlakozom Ginny szerdai olvasok es kotok oldalahoz.

I started a new (to me) Judi Picoult book, Sing you home. I am on page 42, and like the promise of the book. Like is not the right word here, because it is devastating as the story opens up, but Picoult has a way of making devastating and unusual events become acceptable and tolerable.
I am knitting a scarf for my husband for about a year (!) now. It stated as a surprise, but of course you can not keep a secret this long, especially when the winter comes and goes and approaches again. So now I have put all my UFOs aside and just knitting this piece.

Elkezdtem Judi Picoult ujabb konyvet, Gyere haza, most angolul. Meg csak a 42. oldalon tartok, de ugy erzem, megint belecsoppentem egy olyan vilagba, ami nem szokvanyos, de Picoult nagyon egyszeruen fog vegig navigalni, es jo lesz ezt az utazast megelni.
Most elovettem egy munkat amit mar egy(!) eve kezdtem el. A ferjemnek kezdtem el tavaly ezt a salat, de nem fejeztem be se a szulinapjara, se karacsonyra. Es hat megint jon a tel, es tenyleg jo lenne, ha tudna mar hordani, igy most semmi massal nem foglalkozom.

Video on Thursday - Csutortoki video

 This is the first time I post a video here. I loved the message and the visual content. I see New York the same way, we go through the same places.... I am a sucker for visual pleasure, but his narration is the most important thing in here.
I highly recommend his book (The way of Zen) as well, it was a favorite for me may years ago. 



Ez az elso alkalom, hogy egy videot ugy erzem, meg kell osztanom. Van benne igazasag es valahogy New Yorkot is ugy latja, ahogy, amit en.... De amit mond az fontosabb azert a vizualis szepsegnel.
Alan Watts  konyve,  A Zen utja sok evvel ezelott szinten nagy kedvencem volt.

Wild chestnuts - Vadgesztenyek

My city Pecs, where I grew up, is famous for for it's chestnuts. We used to make little people or animals out of them with matchsticks.
Somehow they represent magic, the coloring and how smooth they feel in your hand. These we gathered with my Mom not long ago. Fall is here.

Pecs hires a vadgesztenyefairol. Emlekszem, amikor kisgyerek voltam, mindenfelet csinaltunk beloluk, allatot, emberket, csak par gyufa kellett hozza. Van bennuk valami varazslatos, a szinuk, az erzes amit az erintesuk ad, valahogy megfoghatatlan. Ezeket az anyuval szedtuk nemreg. Tenyleg itt van az osz.

I am in Hungary for a few more weeks. I just finished reading Doris Lessing's book, The fifth child in Hungarian. I did not know much about her, except that she won the Nobel Price some time ago. So when I happened to see this book in the library, I took it out.
I am not into her style. However I need to say, that writing about emotionally taxing things in such an ease is amazing. While reading it, it almost lets you slide over the big problem/challenge.
I have promised friends here to knit them stuff. I am almost done with a teapot cozy, a hat, and have to make a fingerless mitten. Having promised all these things, I could not contain myself and started a lace stole.

Somehow I have to knit lace among other things. The pattern has been on a Hungarian (knitting store's) website for a while now, but I kind of got stuck with triangle shawls. The step by step tutorial with pictures and the graph will make it self explanatory even if you do not speak Hungarian.

Meg par hetig itt vagyok Magyarorszagon, igy a konyvtarbol magyarul hoztam ki Doris Lessing: Az otodik gyerek cimu konyvet. Megint a veletlen vezerelt ehhez a konyvhoz, meg az, hogy tudtam, hogy nyert Nobel dijat, de meg nem olvastam tole semmit sem.
Hat nem mondhatnam hogy megfogott a stilusa. Ugyanakkor nagyon erdekes, hogy hogy tud valaki ilyen lazan irni egy rettenetes problemarol/kihivasrol. Olyannyira laza, hogy majdnem nem veszi eszre az ember, hogy amirol ir annak igazan nagy a sulya.

Sok ismerosnek beigertem itt koteseket, teaskanna boritot, ujjatlan kesztyut, egy sapeszt, de valahogy nem teljes az elet, ha az ember lanya nem kot valami csipkeset. Igy nekialltam egy regen lekozolt mintanak Ercsutol, ami nagyon tetszett mar anno, csak valahogy leragadtam a haromszog alaku kendoknel.

after the seconf IVF - masodik lombikbebi utan

Unfortunately this cycle of IVF did not hold.  I thought it would be easy to navigate myself through the emotions and procedures and blog about it. I am a pretty open person, yet there is something about this that is sacred. It almost feels, that I will jinx it, if I write about it, while it is happening... I know this is silly, but I find myself grabbing on to ideas that I could have never entertained before, just to have this little baby in my arms.
This was our second cycle. During the hormone injections I felt fine. Half way I went for a check up, and there were no  follicles. How could that be? This is the biggest fear one can have in this situation, when even with medicine, no follicles show up. I had number three, as my magical number, that I was envisioning, and really thought it would come through. I was taking 3 Menopur -75NE- twice a day. I have also started another injection, that I did not do last time, which was Gonapeptyl -0.1mg- and I used half of it daily. (It stimulates the pituitary release of LH and FSH) 
 So my doctor upped the Menopur to 4 vials from 3, twice a day. But I only had  four-five days left. You can postpone ovulation only for so long. I wanted to stay positive, but in 4-5 days, what kind of rush is that? When I went for my second ultrasound, I had four follicles. Three of them had an acceptable mature size. So after all, I got my magical number! The doctor was shocked. I was elated, even though I realized, that the chances are, that not all of them must be developed all the way. So we set the day of the egg retrieval. That day I was happy, anxious and excited. They retrieved 3 eggs. I felt like it was luxury, three eggs. However only one became an embryo. One was immature and the other one did not get fertilized. Okay, one is a good number, I only need one to work. Thought I have to confess, we have entertained the thought of twins or triplets... After the implantation I did more bed rest than last time, but I don't think this is as important as some people swear by it, nor do my doctors.
So here I am now. Yesterday and the day before I went through fear and panic. I am better today, as I need to gear up for for our next cycle.  In Hungary you have to wait 3 months between procedures, and my plan is to join the gym (continue with the Pilates) and look for a seasonal holiday job at home (New York), and come back in full force. I am going to go back to the US in a couple of weeks. I miss my husband so much.

Sajnos ez a lombik bebis kor nem jott ossze. Tudom, megigertem, hogy irni fogok rola es beszamolok reszletesen, hogy mit erzek, es mi van eppen soron. Eleg nyitott ember vagyok, de megis, amikor benne voltam a folyamatban, akkor ugy ereztem ebben van valami, amit nem tudok megfogalmazni, es ha irok rola lehet hogy azzal vivom ki magam ellen a sorsot. Tudom, ebben semmi racio nincs, de azon kapom magam, hogy minden esszel felfoghato, es felfoghatatlan dologba kapaszkodok, hogy segitsen abban hogy ezt a kisbabat vegre a kezembe foghassam.
Ez volt a masodik alkalom, hogy elkezdtuk a lombik bebi programot. A hormon injecio alatt nagyon jol ereztem magam. Megint Menopurt -75NE- injekcioztam, 3 poruveget naponta ketszer. Amikor mentem az elso ultrahangra, hat nem volt egyetlen egy tuszom sem. Pedig annyira vizulaltam 3 petet. Annyira hittem benne. Ez a legrosszabb hir, amit az ember kaphat a lombik kapcsan, hogy nincs pete, amit meg lehet termekenyiteni. Egyszeruen sokkolt, nem is ertettem. Emelett a hormon melett meg kaptam egy masik gyogyszert, Gonapeptylt, -0.1mg- aminek a felet kellett naponta beadnom. (Ez a gyogyszer az agyalapi mirigyre hat, hogy tobb legyen az LH es az FSH.)
Ekkor az orvos felemelte a Menopur adagomat, es 4 poruveget adtam be magamnak naponta ketszer. Viszont mar nem volt sok idom, es racionalisan nem ertettem, hogy negy-ot  nap alatt hogy fejlodhet ki egy egeszseges pete. Amikor a masodik ultrahangra mentem, mindenki megdobbenesere negy tuszo fogadott minket. Ebbol harom eleg jo meretu volt. (Na megiscsak megvolt az a varazslatos szam!!) Az orvos meg volt lepodve. Kiirtuk a peteleszivas napjat! Aznap nagyon izgatott, boldog es feszult voltam, megiscsak nagy a tet. Mert ugye a negy tuszoben nem lehet tudni, hogy hany pete van? Vegulis harmat szivtak le, ami csodalatos. A megtermekenyites utan egy embrio alakult ki. Az egyik pete volt eleg fejlett, a masik meg valami oknal fogva nem termekenyult meg. Az egyes szam is jo szam, pont eleg nekunk! Na azert nem mondanam, hogy nem jatszottunk el az ikrek gondolataval... A beultetest kovetoen fekudtem, tobbet is mint multkor, de nem ezen mulik, ebben az orvossal is megegyeztunk.
Hat es most itt tartunk, ket nap felelem es panik utan (a jovo bizonytalansaga miatt) ma mar jobban vagyok, es keszulok az ujabb ciklusra. A biztosito miatt kell harom honapot varni, igy ket harom heten belul haza megyek New Yorkba. Mar annyira hianyzi a ferjem, nehez ezt igy nehez egyedul vegig csinalni.  Azt terveztem, hogy beiratkozok egy torna terembe, (folytatom a pilatest) es keresek munkat az unnepek alatti hajrara.

Igy csatlakozom Ginny szerdai olvasok es kotok oldalahoz.

I have finished the swallowtail, and it came out gorgeous.
Befejeztem a  fecskefarkut, es nagyon szep lett.

I have started a lacy sweater for my friend's daughter. I thought they would look cute together on her big day. I don't think she reads the blog, alas the confession. But since I am in Europe I don't think that the little sweater will get there in time :(
A baratnom kislanyanak elkezdtem egy gyerkoc kis csipkes pulcsit, tul,keppen a kendo melle gondoltam, de szerintem nem lesz kesz a nagy napig :(

I heard a great interview with Judi Picoult, and realized that I have never read her. To remedy this I took out from the library Vanishing acts and stated it a few days ago. The only thing that annoys me is the font they decided to use. Do you ever get the feeling, that you can't continue, because the font is so annoying?
Nemregen hallottam egy szuper jo interjut Judi Picout-al, es rajottem, hogy meg soha nem olvastam. Pedig aki olvasta, az alig varja a kovetkezo konyvet. A konyvtarban epp benn volt az Elrabolt az apam, es hat most azzal kezdem. Egy valami idegesit, de annyira, hogy majdnem abbahagytam a konyvet, hogy a betutipust utalom! volt mar ilyen nalatok, hogy ezert visszaraktatok egy konyvet a polcra?

I have finished the Swallowtail shawl. This is a gift for my friend. As far as I know she loves the color. I love the yarn. I think it came out gorgeous. I might have to knit one for myself as well. 
Befejeztem a fecskefarku kendot. Nagyon szep lett. Szeretem nagyon ezt a fonalat. Ez ajandek lesz, es azt hiszem magamnak is kothetnek egyet, mert igen tetszik.

 I have started a hat for my godson. This is a trial knit, he tried it on yestereday, and it fits nice. Now I can start to reknit the hat with the yarn hold double. He is into robots so this is going to be a nice warm hat for him.
Ez a sapesz a keresztfiamnak keszul. Tegnap mar fel is probalta, es jo a meret. Ugy dontottem, hogy ket szallal azert melegebb lenne, igy ujra kezdem inkabb.

I started to listen to Swamplandia, and not into it. I am more than half way, but I wonder if the experience would have been different if I were to read it? This was the unofficial winner of this year's Pulitzer prize in literature.
Elkezdtem hangoskonykent a Swamplandiat hallgatni. Nem igen tetszik, pedig o volt a nagy eselyese a Pulitzer dijank 2012-ben. Mar tobb mint a felenel tartok, es azon filozom, hogy nem lett-e volna jobb/mas elmeny ha olvasom?

IVF - lombikbebi

Friday I went for my first visit in my second IVF cycle with my doctor at the Kaali Institute at Pecs. He checked if I have developed any cysts, which I did not and here we are on my second round of IVF.
I started Gonapeptyl injections the same day and Menopur the next. Today is Sunday, and I am fine. I had a little bit of a headache yesterday, but I had this in my last cycle as well. I usually vision a number for myself, and this time around it is the lucky number 3. So I am hoping for 3 eggs. I am going for a checkup on Thursday.

My only regret is, that my husband can't be here, because we do everything together. However his vacation days were used up in the previous cycle.... So I try to keep busy, I have more than one knitting project on my needles, visit friends stay with family and go to the gym.This past week I was going for Pilates 4 days a week. I loved every minute of it. I am hoping to do this for one more week. I am happy and positive.

In the previous IVF cycle I had one egg, and everything went fine, on the fourth day they emailed us, that the embryo is viable and they are going to do the implantation. Unfortunately the embryo did not implant.so this is the reason why I am doing my second round of hormone treatments.

Penteken mentem eloszor orvoshoz a masodik lombikbebi program kapcsan a Kaali Intezetbe Pecen. Meg mielott elkezdodne a hormon kezeles, azt ellenorizni kell, hogy van-e cisztam. Mondjuk pont ezert fogamzasgatolot is kellett szednem, de minden rendeben van, nincs cisztam. Aznap elkezdtem a gonapeptyl injekciozast, es tegnap, azaz szombaton meg jott hozza a mar ismert Menopur. Annyi mellekhatasa van ezeknek az injekcioknak, hogy tegnap fajt a fejem egy picit, de ma mar semmit sem erzek.
Minden ciklusban elkepzelek egy varazslatos szamot, ami segit abban, hogy annyi petem legyen. Ebben a ciklusban a 3-ra esett a valasztasom. Csutortokon megyek az orvoshoz, es akkor mar remelhetoleg tobbet tudok.
Sajnos a ferjem nincs itt velem, mert a multkori ciklus alatt felhasznalta az osszes szabijat. De probalom jol kitolteni az eletemet, tobb kotos projektem is van egyszerre, talalkozok regi baratokkal, csaladdal, es elkezdtem pilatesre jarni. Ez azert nagy dolog, mert nem vagyok egy sportolos alkat. Nagyon jol esik, es hianyzik is most hogy a hetvegen igy kimaradt. Mult heten negyszer voltam, es a kov. heten is ugyanigy szeretnem folytatni. Jol hat ram, boldog es pozitiv vagyok.
A multkori ciklusomban, juniusban, egy petem volt, ami megtermekenyult, es "vissza is kerult hozzam", de nem agyazodott be. Hat ezert van az hogy most nekifutunk ujra a masodik kornek.

Flea market on Sunday 08/26 - vasarnapi pecsi vasar

siphon bottles

I love flea markets. Since I arrived to Hungary for the second time, I have been to the flea market twice. Oh and I am definitely going back next Sunday.
Imadom a vasarokat. Miota visszajottem, mar ketszer voltam a vasarban. Es persze a jovo heten is megyek.

ethnic German colors on the spinning wheel, they put it together as is, might be off

I am interested in knitting, so I think learning how to spin would be a logical step, right? So I am having my eyes open for a spinning wheel.
And today I have found two, (actually my Mom spotted them). They were both Hungarian, one from an ethnic German village (the picture above and below...you can tell from the blue coloring) and the other one was from the county of Somogy. They both miss parts.
Amiota komolyabban erdekel a kotes, valahogy termeszetes volt, hogy a fonal fonas is szoba jojjon. Igy amikor a vasarban vagyok mindig rokkat keresek. Ma kettot is talaltam, azaz inkabb az anyu... es erdekes volt, mert eleg hasonloak voltak. Mindketto magyar rokka volt, az egyik egy svab falubol, a masik meg Somogy megyebol. Mindkettorol hianyoztak kellekek.

we found it on the ground in shambles, (left photo) and they tried to piece it together for me

the spinning wheel from Somogy county

Aside from the spinning wheel, I have a whole wish list. Zsolnay ceramics, Hungarian peasant clothes, old Hungarian cookbooks, and everything that has to do with knitting or crochet.
A rokka mellett persze meg van mas is, amiert faj a szivem, van listam, mintha gyerek lennek karacsonykor. Szeretnek regi Zsolnayt, eredeti nepi viseletet, regi magyar szakacskonyvet es persze mindent ami a kotessel es a horgolassal kapcsolatos.

copper items 

handwoven baskets

So this time I scored a beautiful Zsolnay coffee pot, without the lid, but I would use it for a vase anyhow. Double the pleasure, since I spotted this one in May and was hesitant about it. Since than he came down on the price, and it was mine. I have also seen really original and nice Zsolnay that I had to leave there :( Of course bargaining is a must. Those I need to think over. 

Most egy olyan Zsolnay kaveskannat hoztam haza, amit mar Majusban kineztem magamnak. Eddig vart ram, sot a pasi vett is le az arabol, mert nem vittek. Hianyzik a fedele, de nem is baj, mert nalam vaza lesz tuttira.
Lattam meg ket olyan Zsolnayt is amit azert meg szivesen haza hoztam volan, de most csak a kepeket mutatom, ha az a rendeltetesuk, hogy az enyem legyen, megvar. Arban realisak, persze alkudni azt mindenkeppen kell.

I met a couple during my flea market visits who bring Hungarian authentic peasant/folk clothes with them. I remember as I was growing up flea markets had a much wider variety of  folk clothes. As they are worn less and less today,  it is harder to spot them for sale. The fabric is thick linen with lace or embroidery decorating it. I love their full skirts, nightgowns, which you can wear as a summer dress. In May I spotted a pair of pants, that I suspect they wore under the skirt. The waist comes together with a waist string. Pretty funky. I did not buy it at time, and I think someone else snatched it, but they brought another pair for me today, that I tried on. Well you be the judge... I did not get it. However, they showed me a silk top with a hand embroidered design, that was amazing. I am the proud owner of that more modern piece.
Megismerkedtem egy hazasparral, akik szep magyar nepviseleti ruhakat hoznak a vasarba. Majusban volt egy alsonadragjuk (?), sarga himzessel a szaranal, amibe bele szerettem. De nem vettem meg. Es ugy tunik, hogy az mar masnak is megtetszett, mert nem talaljak azota. De hoznak mindig nekem helyette mast. Peldaul ma mutattak egy masik gatyat, amit fel is huztam, de nem vettem meg, mert furin nezett ki. Viszont egy inget meg elhoztam, mert olyan szepen volt kezzel himezve. Ez egy modernebb darab, de megis a kezimunka az gyonyoru.

silk blouse with hand embroidery

You see only a handful of (older) women who sell their handmade items. This time I got a small crocheted hat for my friend's daughter, Cosette.
A vasarban nem sok kezzel kotott vagy horgolt cuccot latok. Akik arulnak azok idosebbek, fiatal sehol. Vettem egy kis horgolt sapeszt a baratnom kislanyanak.

crocheted toddler's hat with a rose

I have seen a scarf as well, but it was too itchy to buy it. I loved the simple yet elegant pattern so much, that I would like to recreate the pattern.

Lattam egy nagyon szep kotott salat egy turiban, de annyira bokott, hogy nem tudtam megvenni. Ezt a mintat biztosan megkotom, mert olyan szep volt a nemes egyszerusegeben.

Morning swim at Orfu - reggeli uszkalas Orfun

places to veg out on - stegek

This morning we went for a morning swim, my friends Saca, Mila and their handsome dog, Fulop. This a  good time for him for swim, as there are almost no people around.

splash- beugras

This lake region, Orfu is 20 minutes away from my city Pecs. We did the same thing last week and these memories are absolutely magical for me. Examples like this show me how simple pleasures in life are the most valuable.

Ma reggel elmentunk Orfure uszkalni egy kicsit  Sacaval, Milaval es persze a Fulop is jott velunk. Ilyenkor meg a kuty is uszkalhat szabadon, nem zavar senkit.

let me me check out that duck - kacsa vadaszat

 
Orfu kb. husz percre van Pecstol autoval. Mult heten is mentunk mar, es erzem, hogy ezek az egyszeru kis kiruccanasok toltenek el a legtobb boldogsaggal. Napokig tudok toltodni beloluk.

I have arrived To Hungary yesterday.  On my trip I was knitting Swallowtail, which is going to be a surprise for someone, so this is all I can write about it for now.
The book is in Hungarian, my friend recommend  it to me before I left for New York. So I took it with me, but did not read it in the past six weeks.  The author, Daniel Glattauer I think is German, and there is a sequel. 
Tegnap megerkeztem Magyarorszagra. Az uton a kis fecskefarku kendommel bibraltam. Ez egy meplepi lesz, igy most nem tudok errol sokkal tobbet irni.
Ez a konyvet a baratnom ajanlotta, mar par hete meg mielott visszamentem volna New Yorkba, es most hozom vissza. Persze csak most kezdtem el olvasni...

  I love the color, and the yarn.
  Imadom a ezt a fonalat, nem ez az elso alkalom hogy hasznalom, es a szine is olyan szep.

I have finished my  Miralda shawl. It looks beautiful.
Befejeztem Miraldat, nagyon szep lett.

    I love the red color, so I am thinking of knitting a warmer winter shawl from a chunkier red yarn soon.
    Szeretnek meg egy piros kendot, vastag fonalbol, hogy telen jo melegen tartson.

Today was a special day, I sat by the ocean and knit. Simple joy. I am almost done with Miralda.
I went to the library today and took out Ann Budd's Knit Green. I have looked at this book before and love a lot of patterns from it. I really should buy it.

A mai nap azert (is) jol sikerult, mert az oceanparton kothettem par sort. Elmentem a konyvtarba, es ujra kivettem ezt a jo kis kotos konyvet, mar egyszer mazsolaztam belole... Nagyon tetszik tobb minta is belole.
Meg kene vennem, tetszik annyira.

 

New York Botanical Garden - New Yorki botanikus kert

This week we went to see Monet's garden, an indoor exhibition at the NYBG. The main grounds of the garden is beautiful year around, and these were the pics I took outside. More to come from the exhibition itself in my next blog post.
A napokban voltunk a New York-i botanikus kertben, a Bronxban.  Ez a hely mindig nagyon szep, soha nem lehet megunni. Most Monet kertjet probaltak elenk varazsolni a foepuletben. Mielott eljutottunk volna oda, ezeket lattam az odafele vezeto uton. Monet kertjerol is fogok felrakni kepeket egy kovetkezo  bejegyzesben.
