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.

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 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.

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?
