I skrivende stund kan jeg se &lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/nova-2/people"&gt;113 kjoler på Ravelry&lt;/a&gt;, og det er stor, glad ting for mig. Jeg kan stadig ikke helt rumme at folk kan få sådan nogle smukke ting ud af de ord jeg har skrevet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aLo1wtpNm4Q/Tyk2lbb7RLI/AAAAAAAADeg/_AihnNpvDnE/s1600/OldNovaDress.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aLo1wtpNm4Q/Tyk2lbb7RLI/AAAAAAAADeg/_AihnNpvDnE/s400/OldNovaDress.jpg" width="275" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Min nyeste måde er, at gå ind på den russiske side &lt;a href="http://kuklenok.com/library/26-children/girls/dresses/860-nova"&gt;Kuklenok.com og finde Nova-opskriften&lt;/a&gt;.Jeg synes detdet er kæmpe sejt at Nova nu kan strikkes på russisk.&lt;br /&gt;Den søde ejer eller hvad-det-nu-hedder skrev og bad om lov, hvilket klart var et stort plus. Hver opskriftside har også en fin copyright statement og alting. Meget fint og professionelt - så vidt google translate kunne vise mig.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Og pludselig føler jeg mig ikke nær så januar længere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;●&amp;nbsp;●&amp;nbsp;●&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;When I feel like the weather and everything else becomes just a bit too ... January, I have ways of cheering myself up.&lt;br /&gt;One way is to go to Ravelry and look at all the beautiful striped Nova dresses that a people have knitted. As I write I see &lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/nova-2/people"&gt;113 dresses on Ravelry&lt;/a&gt;, and it's a big, happy thing for me. I still can not quite believe that people can make such wonderful things from of the words I have written.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My newest way is to go to the Russian site &lt;a href="http://kuklenok.com/library/26-children/girls/dresses/860-nova"&gt;Kuklenok.com and find the Nova pattern&lt;/a&gt;. I think it's all kinds of awesome that Nova can now be knit in Russian.&lt;br /&gt;The sweet owner or whatever-it-she-is wrote and asked for permission, which was a big plus. Each pattern page also has a nice copyright statement and everything. Very nice and professional - as far as google translate could show me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And suddenly I don't feel quite so January anymore.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/65456582898093384-7930443998293900259?l=blomstermagt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/feeds/7930443998293900259/comments/default' title='Kommentarer til indlægget'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=65456582898093384&amp;postID=7930443998293900259&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 kommentarer'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/7930443998293900259'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/7930443998293900259'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2012/02/mood-enhancers.html' title='Mood Enhancers'/><author><name>Signest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13661193157510794809</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k__uK8Il7Eo/TowCv2NzupI/AAAAAAAAC1w/MynIQbA8b8Y/s220/Viola10FLIP.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aLo1wtpNm4Q/Tyk2lbb7RLI/AAAAAAAADeg/_AihnNpvDnE/s72-c/OldNovaDress.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-65456582898093384.post-6443337432159276048</id><published>2012-01-30T14:42:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-30T14:42:03.249+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Slow &amp; Steady</title><content type='html'>Hjemme hos mig ligger der 2 fine Vitus hættetrøjer, som to fantastiske strikkedamer har strikket for mig.

Kært barn mange navne, og jeg er vild med denne måde at forme strik. Det er jo nærmest genialt, at man kan arbejde i tredimensionelle kurver - ikke kun fordi det er sjovt og smukt, men også fordi det er præcis det vores kroppe består af. Hæle, bryster, blenumser, for at nævne et par stykker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alligevel har mig og vendepinde haft et lidt anstrengt forhold lige fra begyndelse, fordi jeg aldrig har kunnet få den klassiske "wrap and turn"-metode til at fungere optimalt. Hvad hedder den egentlig på dansk...? "kvælerløkke og vend".&lt;br /&gt;Lige meget hvad jeg gør, kan jeg ikke få vendepunktet til at være usynligt, og som om det ikke er slemt nok, så er ret og vrangvendinger ikke engang synlige på den samme måde. Én bliver for stram og den anden for løs. Og jeg er perfektionisk, så det kan gå mig vældig meget på nerverne.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Indtil den dag hvor jeg stødte på &lt;a href="http://www.socktopus.co.uk/"&gt;Soctopus&lt;/a&gt;' fantastiske nye måde at lave vendepinde: "&lt;a href="http://www.socktopus.co.uk/2011/02/short-rows-shadow-wraps/"&gt;Shadow Wraps&lt;/a&gt;" med tilhørende billedtutorial eller... trin for trin vejledning i billeder. Det er simpelthen virke 7.000 gange lettere end den den anden måde, og så bliver det usynligt uden at jeg behøver at gøre sig umage overhovedet.&lt;br /&gt;Jeg har fået lov af Soctopus aka Alice Yu til at lave en illustreret vejledning til metoden som jeg på dansk har kaldt "vendepinde med skyggetvilling", og i processen har jeg også forenklet metoden en del. Jeg håber den kan lette andres kamp med vendepindene:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It's almost ingenious, that you can work in three-dimensional curves - not only because it's fun and beautiful, but also because it is exactly what our bodies are composed of. Heels, boobs, nappy bottoms to name a few.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Yet me and short rows have had a somewhat strained relationship right from the beginning, because I've never been able to get the classic "wrap and turn" method to work optimally.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;No matter what I do, I can not get the turning point to be invisible, and as if that's not bad enough, right side and wrong side turns are not even visible in the same way. One is too tight and the other too loose. And I'm Perfectionism, so it can get on my very last nerve.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until the day I came across &lt;a href="http://www.socktopus.co.uk/"&gt;Soctopus&lt;/a&gt;' amazing new way to make short rows:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;a href="http://www.socktopus.co.uk/2011/02/short-rows-shadow-wraps/"&gt;Shadow Wraps&lt;/a&gt;"&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;with accompanying photo tutorial and all. It is about 7,000 times easier than the classic way and the turns are invisible without having to make a special effort.&lt;br /&gt;Soctopus aka Alice Yu has agreed to let me create an illustrated guide to the method, and in the process I have also simplified the method somewhat. I hope it can help others who struggle with the short rows:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/65456582898093384-5161677046488352680?l=blomstermagt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/feeds/5161677046488352680/comments/default' title='Kommentarer til indlægget'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=65456582898093384&amp;postID=5161677046488352680&amp;isPopup=true' title='8 kommentarer'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/5161677046488352680'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/5161677046488352680'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2012/01/short-rows-with-shadow-twin.html' title='Short Rows with Shadow Twin'/><author><name>Signest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13661193157510794809</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k__uK8Il7Eo/TowCv2NzupI/AAAAAAAAC1w/MynIQbA8b8Y/s220/Viola10FLIP.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N7bdEUCPanQ/Tx1JbTZhx-I/AAAAAAAADbA/qO5exE4WbJk/s72-c/ShadowWrapShortRowTutorial1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-65456582898093384.post-3873080436872542983</id><published>2012-01-17T10:53:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-17T10:53:39.905+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='events'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='strikkedesign'/><title type='text'>Persille</title><content type='html'>&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ArpImkmKQwc/TxU7kg3PZ0I/AAAAAAAADYw/7bupCe5WaAA/s1600/textil+messe+jan+2012.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="80" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ArpImkmKQwc/TxU7kg3PZ0I/AAAAAAAADYw/7bupCe5WaAA/s400/textil+messe+jan+2012.jpeg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Igår var jeg i Vejle. Sgu'. Det er jeg ellers ikke så tit (eller nogensinde omtrent), men det var fordi jeg skulle til TexStil Messen, som finder sted der (og nej, navnet er ikke ironisk *fnis*).&lt;br /&gt;Det er en branchemesse for&amp;nbsp;"metervarer, garn, broderi, tilbehør, hobby, håndarbejde og symaskiner." hvilket vil sige, at der er der hvor butikker og andre firmaer kan tage hen og se på - og indkøbe nye varer. Jeg synes nu egentlig der mest var garn, men det siger måske mere om mig end om noget andet...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-94xrl3_vB5I/TxU-Y684bGI/AAAAAAAADZA/19MJbqYzBBM/s1600/TexStilMagnus.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-94xrl3_vB5I/TxU-Y684bGI/AAAAAAAADZA/19MJbqYzBBM/s400/TexStilMagnus.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Ikke let at se Magnus-trøjen, men den står der i midten med de røde knapper...&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overordnet set var det ikke en sindsoprivende spændende messe, ej heller særlig stor, men det var nu alligevel meget sjovt at se de forskellige garnfirmaers stande og se hvordan de vælger at præsentere sig selv. Og gramse lidt garn hist og her.&lt;br /&gt;Allermest spændende var det naturligvis at se den stand, hvor mine egne designs var at finde. Hos Filcolana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-13xi9f_jR78/TxU-UrpfzGI/AAAAAAAADY4/2n9pqGdwRiY/s1600/TexStilIdun.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-13xi9f_jR78/TxU-UrpfzGI/AAAAAAAADY4/2n9pqGdwRiY/s400/TexStilIdun.jpg" width="275" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Idun&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&amp;nbsp;Jeg var taget på messen med gode strikkedesignervenner og mødte flere derovre, så især derfor var det en virkelig hyggelig dag. Undervejs nåede jeg frem til, at Gaiadesignet nedenfor er nødt til at få et nyt navn. Det har ellers heddet Gaia igennem hele designprocessen, men jeg er et eller andet sted undervejs kommet til at sige til Sanne (der har Rasmilla), at jeg synes hulmønsteret ligner broccoli eller persille.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1NAY49VhtHs/TxU-cOGBCxI/AAAAAAAADZI/S2HC8W-VmxQ/s1600/TexStilPersille.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1NAY49VhtHs/TxU-cOGBCxI/AAAAAAAADZI/S2HC8W-VmxQ/s400/TexStilPersille.jpg" width="275" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Persille&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Sanne har derfor kaldt den broccolitrøjen lige siden, og selvom det er et sjovt navn havde jeg bare ikke lige lyst til at den skulle hedde det "i daglig tale" (eller hvadnudethedder). Derfor hedder designet nu Persille istedet. Tak Nanna!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Usa0GLdq_H8/TxVBusEBObI/AAAAAAAADZQ/Vci-mYJ5zGM/s1600/FilcolanaGaia2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Usa0GLdq_H8/TxVBusEBObI/AAAAAAAADZQ/Vci-mYJ5zGM/s320/FilcolanaGaia2.jpg" width="260" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeg synes hulmønsterpanelet ligner små buketter kruspersille... og Persille lyder næsten som et pigenavn i mine øre. Jeg er meget glad for navneforandringen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En anden dag skal jeg måske fortælle hvor uforholdsmæssig stor betydning valget af et navn til et design har for mig. Eller måske fremgår det tydeligt nok ovenfor...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;● ● ●&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Yesterday I went to Vejle. Ifyoucanbelieveit. I am not often (or even ever) i Vejle, but I went to visit the TexStil Fair, which takes place there (and no, the name is not ironic * giggles *).&lt;br /&gt;It is an industry trade show for "fabric, yarn, embroidery, accessories, hobbies, needlework and sewing machines." which means that this is where shops and other businesses can go and see - and buy new products. I think now there was mostly yarn&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;really&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;, but this probably says a lot more about me than about anything else ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall, it was not an very exciting fair, nor a very big one, but it was still fun to see the different yarn companies' stands and see how they chose to present themselves. And fun to fondle a bit of yarn here and there.&lt;br /&gt;The most exciting bit was visiting the stand where my own designs were displayed. At Filcolana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went to the fair with good knitting designer friends and met more over there, so had a really lovely day. Along the way, I decided that the Gaia design below had to have a new name. It's been called Gaia throughout the entire design process, but somewhere along the way I accidentally told Sanne (who owns Rasmilla) that I think the lace pattern resembles broccoli or parsley.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sanne has called it the broccoli sweater ever since, and though it's a funny name, I didn't feel like having a design with the nickname the &amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;the broccoli sweater&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;. Therefore, the design is now named Persille instead, which is the Danish name for parsley. Thank you Nanna!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think the lace panel resemble small bunches of curly-leaved parsley ... and Persille almost sounds like a girl's name to my ears. I am very happy with the name change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some day I might tell you more about how disproportionately big a role the choice of name for a design plays for me. Or perhaps it is clear enough from the above ...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/65456582898093384-3873080436872542983?l=blomstermagt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/feeds/3873080436872542983/comments/default' title='Kommentarer til indlægget'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=65456582898093384&amp;postID=3873080436872542983&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 kommentarer'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/3873080436872542983'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/3873080436872542983'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2012/01/persille.html' title='Persille'/><author><name>Signest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13661193157510794809</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k__uK8Il7Eo/TowCv2NzupI/AAAAAAAAC1w/MynIQbA8b8Y/s220/Viola10FLIP.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ArpImkmKQwc/TxU7kg3PZ0I/AAAAAAAADYw/7bupCe5WaAA/s72-c/textil+messe+jan+2012.jpeg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-65456582898093384.post-6322827796301630122</id><published>2012-01-12T16:33:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-12T16:33:26.790+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Blind Spots</title><content type='html'>Der er noget jeg har gået og tænkt over på det seneste. Egentlig udspringer det af en fin mailkorrespondance jeg havde med en sød strikkedame der strikkede &lt;a href="http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/11/deer-dress-er-ude.html"&gt;Deer Dress&lt;/a&gt;. Hun spurgte om det med at fange medløbertråden bag på arbejdet, eller hvordan man nu kalder det.&lt;br /&gt;Hun fortalte, at hendes mor, der lærte hende at strikke, havde lært hende at bagsiden af strikketøjet skal være lige så fin som forsiden, og det fik mig til at tænke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-faJugduUr8M/Tggw90Wuq-I/AAAAAAAACsE/2uIIneRLQHA/s200/SignestLeftie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="275" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-faJugduUr8M/Tggw90Wuq-I/AAAAAAAACsE/2uIIneRLQHA/s320/SignestLeftie.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Jeg har jo lært at strikke af det vidunderlige internet. Jeg lærte at strikke ved at studere de fine videoer på &lt;a href="http://www.knittinghelp.com/"&gt;KnittingHelp&lt;/a&gt; igen og igen - og senere lærte jeg mere på YouTube og især på Ravelry. Og fra allemulige bøger også.&lt;br /&gt;Jeg har ikke lært at strikke af min mor eller en anden i min omkreds. Jeg har heller ikke lært at strikke i skolen (faktisk lærte jeg kun at hade at strikke, men det er en anden &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;venstrehåndet&lt;/span&gt; historie). Det fungerer fint for mig, og jeg er glad for at jeg frit kunne vælge den enkleste måde at lave en vrangmaske på for eksempel. Samtidig har det vist sig at have mere betydning og være en del mere kompliceret end jeg dengang havde kunne forudse.&lt;br /&gt;For det første betyder det, at jeg strikker spejlvendt af alle andre - eller af alle der strikker som en højrehåndet, ihvertfald. Det var i første omgang slet ikke noget problem, for jeg er for venstrehåndet til nogensinde at kunne have fået fornøjelse ud af at strikke højrehåndet. Det med at skulle spejlvende videoerne var ikke noget problem. Venstrehåndede gør den slags hver eneste dag næmest uden selv at opdage det.&lt;br /&gt;Senere blev det mere kompliceret, for jeg opdagede at spejlvendingen havde videre konsekvenser end som så. Mine indtagningerne hælder for eksempel modsat af en højrehåndsstrikker, og det har jo betydning for hvordan det strikkede ender med at tage sig ud. Heldigvis fandt jeg ret hurtigt &lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/groups/on-the-other-hand"&gt;en fantastisk ressource på Ravelry&lt;/a&gt; og fik greb om udfordringen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rWBsLhxx5bg/Tw78dqN_FWI/AAAAAAAADYY/6rqujgBu6Bo/s1600/DeerDressBack-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="325" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rWBsLhxx5bg/Tw78dqN_FWI/AAAAAAAADYY/6rqujgBu6Bo/s400/DeerDressBack-1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En anden uforudset konsekvens af ikke at have lært at strikke på samme måde som de fleste andre, har vist sig at være, at jeg har nogle "blinde vinkler". Hvis man kan kalde det det. For eksempel har jeg aldrig af en "strikkeautoritet" fået af vide, at bagsiden af mit strik skal se ud på en bestemt måde. Og jeg er ved at opdage, at der også er en del andre vedtagne "strikkekonventioner" som et eller andet undervejs er blevet vedtaget, og som afgør om strik og strikning gøres rigtigt eller forkert. Og som jeg ikke kender ret meget til.&lt;br /&gt;Hele det med at væve medløbertråden ind eller at fange den eller hvad man nu vil kalde det, er et glimrende eksempel. Jeg har ikke gjort det på Deer Dress, simpelthen fordi jeg ikke brød mig om måden det så ud. Der var for stor kontrast mellem den indigoblå og den hvide til at jeg evnede at gøre hæftningerne usynlige.&lt;br /&gt;Omvendt var jeg jo godt klar over, at de længste tråde ville kunne blive et problem når en lille pige skal have kjolen på, og derfor vendte jeg kjolen på vrangen til sidst og hæftede trådene til bagsiden med en uldnål og lidt ekstra garn. Simpelt nok. For mig. Men jo ikke simpelt, hvis man er blevet fortalt at medløbertråden SKAL væves ind på hver 3. maske, eller noget i den retning.&lt;br /&gt;Indtil jeg fik den mail fra en sød strikkedame, havde jeg aldrig skænket det en tanke. Og nu tænker jeg, at jeg måske skulle have lavet en lille note i opskriften hvor der stod at man &lt;u&gt;ikke&lt;/u&gt; behøver hæfte medløbertråden undervejs... Åh ja, det er frygtelig nørdet, men jeg synes det er SÅ interessant sådan noget med uskrevne regler og konventioner og hvordan de opstår. (Hvilket sikkert er til at regne ud fra længden af det her indlæg)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nerSNet9ork/Tw78gZeK2oI/AAAAAAAADYg/_MN_DMzC3EY/s1600/DeerDressBack-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="325" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nerSNet9ork/Tw78gZeK2oI/AAAAAAAADYg/_MN_DMzC3EY/s400/DeerDressBack-2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I've been thinking about something lately. It actually started with this email exchange I had with a really nice lady who was knitting&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/11/deer-dress-is-out.html" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Deer Dress&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;. She asked about weaving in the floats at the back of the work, or whatever you call it.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;She wrote that her mother who taught her to knit, had told her that the back of the knitting should be just as neat as the front, and it got me thinking.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;I've learned to knit from the wonderful internet, you see. I learned to knit by studying the videos on &lt;a href="http://www.knittinghelp.com/"&gt;KnittingHelp&lt;/a&gt; again and again - and later I learned more on YouTube, and especially on Ravelry. And from all kinds of books too.&lt;br /&gt;I have not learned to knit from my mother or someone in my family. Nor have I learned to knit at school (in fact all I learned was to hate knitting, but that's another&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt; left-handed&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;story). It works well for me, and I am glad that I was free to choose the simplest way to make a purl stitch on, for example. It has turned out to have more consequences and be a lot more complicated than I could have anticipated at the time.&lt;br /&gt;Firstly, it means that I knit mirrored to everybody else - or of all who knit as a right-handed, anyway. It was initially not a problem, because I'm too left-handed to ever have been comfortable knitting right handed. Having to mirror the videos were not a problem. Left-handers do these kinds things every day and barely even note it.&lt;br /&gt;Later it became more complicated, as I discovered that the mirror reversal had wider implications. For example, my decreases slant the opposite of a right hand knitting, which makes a difference to how the knitting ends up looking. Luckily I quickly found &lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/groups/on-the-other-hand"&gt;a great resource on Ravelry&lt;/a&gt; and got a handle on it.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another unforeseen consequence of not having learned to knit in the same way as most others, has proven to be that I have some "blind spots". If you can call it that. For example, a "knitting authority" has never told me that the back of my knitting should look a certain way. And I'm slowly discovering other implicit "knitting conventions" that somewhere along the way have been made law and which determines whether your knitting is right or wrong. And about which I know almost nothing.&lt;br /&gt;The whole issue of the weaving of floats, is an excellent example. I have not done it on the Deer Dress, simply because I did not like the way it looked. There was too much contrast between the indigo yarn and the white for me to be able to do it invisibly.&lt;br /&gt;I was, however, well aware that the longest of the floats could become a problem when a little girl was putting on the dress, so I turned the dress inside out at the end and wove the floats to the back with a needle and a little of the spare yarn. Simple enough. For me. But is not simple if you've been told that the float HAS to &amp;nbsp;be woven in on every third mask, or something along that line.&lt;br /&gt;Until I got the mail from the sweet lady, I had never given it a thought. And now I am thinking that maybe I should have made a little note in the pattern saying that you do not have do anything to the floats along the way ...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Oh yes, this is terribly geeky, but I think it is SO interesting. Things like the unwritten rules and conventions and how they come about interests me a lot.

Eller måske et det bare mit almindelige januar- og vintersløvsind. Hvorom alting er, så er det et godt stykke tid siden jeg har skrevet noget herinde. Det er også en rum tid siden jeg har gjort noget færdigt... eller bare for alvor har rykket med noget. Starten af januar har mest været præget af smånulren.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-a1oJNxCZV2s/TwrJThWvVMI/AAAAAAAADXg/qppE_Bt5AWU/s1600/Januar-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="356" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-a1oJNxCZV2s/TwrJThWvVMI/AAAAAAAADXg/qppE_Bt5AWU/s400/Januar-1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Ideerne bobler dog lige under overfladen. Og uanset hvor sporadisk jeg arbejder på tingene, så bliver de vel færdig før eller siden. For pokker. Hvis jeg er ærlig med mig selv, bør jeg indrømme, at det nok ikke ligefrem hjælper , at jeg har forbudt mig selv at starte flere ting før jeg har færdigggjort et par vigtige projekter. Eller fem. Det er mit forsøg på at lære selvdisciplin, og jeg ville ikke just kalde det en succes indtil videre...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AIlBfzjqJWA/TwrJ75XrH0I/AAAAAAAADX4/R-tbTGx80Do/s1600/Januar-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="355" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AIlBfzjqJWA/TwrJ75XrH0I/AAAAAAAADX4/R-tbTGx80Do/s400/Januar-2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;I'm having a bit of trouble getting up to speed after the Christmas holidays. Or perhaps this is just my regular January and winter lethargy. Anyway, it's a while since I've written anything here. It is also a long time since I've finished something ... or even just really made progress on something. The beginning of January has been mostly characterized by faffing about and restlessly flitting between projects.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-s9JYHqcT5s4/TwrJuV0_djI/AAAAAAAADXw/Pci5fx6MtOE/s1600/Januar-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="355" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-s9JYHqcT5s4/TwrJuV0_djI/AAAAAAAADXw/Pci5fx6MtOE/s400/Januar-3.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;The ideas, however, bubble just beneath the surface. And no matter how sporadically I'm working on things, they'll probably end up finished sooner or later. Dang it. If I'm being honest with myself, I should admit that It probably doesn't help that I have forbidden myself to start more thin projects until I have finished a few key projects. Or five.

Dog er det gået op for mig hvor meget det larmer. Eller, hvor meget de larmer.

Jeg var hurtigt og fik lov til at den også måtte være en lille smule orange. Heldigvis.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cuVrzHd0TC4/Tv38niGKM7I/AAAAAAAADUU/zb38dCYN5o8/s1600/NovasSecondDress-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="275" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cuVrzHd0TC4/Tv38niGKM7I/AAAAAAAADUU/zb38dCYN5o8/s400/NovasSecondDress-2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Jeg har ikke arbejdet så meget andet med ideen, end at tegne et lille diagram og lave en strikkeprøve, men det føles godt at starte året med en sjov udfordring.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dette år har været et helt fantastisk år for mig og mine strikkedesigndrømme, og jeg kan bare mærke at 2012 bliver endnu federe og vildere. Uh, jeg glæder mig.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;●&amp;nbsp;●&amp;nbsp;●&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;I fell straight down into the Christmas holiday haze. It is quite nice down here. Not terribly productive, but cozy.&lt;br /&gt;It's super lovely to spend time together as a little family. Nice to slow down and take the days and their tasks in the exact order we feel like. However, it dawned on me how noisy it is. Or rather how&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;noisy&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;they are. It probably doest help that both kids have just had gigantic colds that have made them more than half deaf, so they shout all.the.time.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_CTMEQxVkls/Tv38lW1WPxI/AAAAAAAADUM/i8BfOGbvtNM/s1600/NovasSecondDress-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="275" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_CTMEQxVkls/Tv38lW1WPxI/AAAAAAAADUM/i8BfOGbvtNM/s400/NovasSecondDress-1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can just manage sitting in the quiet corner and knitting. I'm knitting a Flux for myself using Rowan Creative Focus Worsted. But designing, writing and calculating stuff is a bit of a challenge in the whirlwind called the Christmas holiday.&lt;br /&gt;My Nova has given me a bit of a design challenge: A dress in purple and purple (dark and light of course) with flowers. I acted quickly and got her to agree to a bit of orange as well. Fortunately.&lt;br /&gt;I have not had the presence of mind to work much on the idea, but I have drawn a little diagram and made a gauge swatch,and it feels good to start the year with a fun challenge.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;This year has been an amazing year for me and my knitting dreams, and Ijust know that 2012 will be even better and wilder. I can't wait.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/65456582898093384-9129093407971501881?l=blomstermagt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/feeds/9129093407971501881/comments/default' title='Kommentarer til indlægget'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=65456582898093384&amp;postID=9129093407971501881&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 kommentarer'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/9129093407971501881'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/9129093407971501881'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/12/cute-but-loud.html' title='Cute but Loud'/><author><name>Signest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13661193157510794809</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k__uK8Il7Eo/TowCv2NzupI/AAAAAAAAC1w/MynIQbA8b8Y/s220/Viola10FLIP.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ugrKb5VSmCg/Tv38ifPnFII/AAAAAAAADUE/gmT7cPyKYsk/s72-c/AkselogNovaJul2011.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-65456582898093384.post-1845695259303262101</id><published>2011-12-23T15:57:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-12-23T15:59:19.795+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fo'/><title type='text'>I Did It!</title><content type='html'>1 stk Deer Dress strikket på 3 dage.

Selvfølgelig. Og det er kun min egen skyld, for jeg skulle være startet for længe siden. Men det gør jeg ikke, så nu skal jeg lige strikke en Deer Dress færdig på 3 dage.&lt;br /&gt;En anden deadline af den slags der kun er min egen skyld blev nået i tirsdags, da jeg afleverede mine 3 strikkedesign til &lt;a href="http://123strik.dk/"&gt;Nanna&lt;/a&gt; skråstreg &lt;a href="http://filcolana.dk/"&gt;Filcolana&lt;/a&gt;. Nanna har sådan nogle fine giner, som hun iklædte mine design, og jeg sneg mig til at tage nogle billeder af dem med hendes kamera. Som desværre er af det modsatte mærke end mit eget, hvorfor billederne blev lidt... iffy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rppfksjmWds/TvMA_xutygI/AAAAAAAADS0/cH8quwWauzc/s1600/FilcolanaDesigns.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rppfksjmWds/TvMA_xutygI/AAAAAAAADS0/cH8quwWauzc/s400/FilcolanaDesigns.jpg" width="352" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Men det var en fed fornemmelse, at aflevere dem. Og endnu federe at se dem stå samlet dér, helt officielt på Nannas kontor skråstreg Filcolana HQ (kontoret er i øvrgt under opbygning, hvorfor der er kasser fyldt med garn alle vegne. SÅ hyggeligt).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kjolen har jeg ikke vist frem før, men det var også den sidste der blev færdig. Den hedder Idun, og den er altså mørkelille. Strikket i Arwetta Classic.

Nogle af dem drømmer jeg også om at bruge i fremtidige strikkeopskrifter, men jeg synes jeg mangler en god kilde at henvise til. Og istedet for at gå og ærgre mig over det og føle mig begrænset, kan jeg jo lige så godt &lt;i&gt;blive&lt;/i&gt; kilden. Særligt nu hvor jeg synes det er så sjovt at lave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Den første jeg vil dele, er i virkeligheden lidt 1. del af en todelt saga. Anden del følger en af de kommende dage:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeg har aldrig været den store fan af den helt klassiske opslagsmetode (den engelsksprogede kalder "long tail cast on), hvor på forhånd skal afmåle den helt rette mængde garn. Jeg rammer aldrig i nærheden af plet, og må altid enten pille op og starte forfra fordi jeg ikke havde nok, eller klippe flere meter garn fra, hvilket bare er irriterende - og nervepirrende. Jeg føler altid, at jeg klipper garn fra, som jeg sikkert kommer til at mangle i sidste ende, så jeg lige præcis ikke har nok når jeg lukker af. Skørt, men sandt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Derfor blev jeg rigtig glad da jeg opdagede det hæklede opslag, og jeg har faktisk brugt den til ALT siden (bare vent til del 2 kommer, så giver det mening):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-E_9aRspBQss/TtaH0iBEoFI/AAAAAAAADOo/W8RUYSQ969g/s1600/MHO1a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="318" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-E_9aRspBQss/TtaH0iBEoFI/AAAAAAAADOo/W8RUYSQ969g/s400/MHO1a.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6Pb0tO1Z8qc/TtaH4SHAwbI/AAAAAAAADOw/UJ4UJu1YePw/s1600/MHO2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="318" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6Pb0tO1Z8qc/TtaH4SHAwbI/AAAAAAAADOw/UJ4UJu1YePw/s400/MHO2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pu6fSKQvWXA/TtaH7v5Sp2I/AAAAAAAADO4/vgNFLs4S4cE/s1600/MHO3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pu6fSKQvWXA/TtaH7v5Sp2I/AAAAAAAADO4/vgNFLs4S4cE/s400/MHO3.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VJlpxk7cmNs/TtaH-8PhYgI/AAAAAAAADPA/A5OXiA0ToVQ/s1600/MHO4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="318" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VJlpxk7cmNs/TtaH-8PhYgI/AAAAAAAADPA/A5OXiA0ToVQ/s400/MHO4.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JBFthQ8u1iw/TtaIU8VXc9I/AAAAAAAADPI/d6DZUDxLZ_4/s1600/MHO5a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="318" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JBFthQ8u1iw/TtaIU8VXc9I/AAAAAAAADPI/d6DZUDxLZ_4/s400/MHO5a.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Gentag til du har en maske mindre end det du har brug for.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ItcXbNg3KMc/TtaIYqzOavI/AAAAAAAADPQ/whvYILvmMak/s1600/MHO6a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="318" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ItcXbNg3KMc/TtaIYqzOavI/AAAAAAAADPQ/whvYILvmMak/s400/MHO6a.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ii0N1lpbaP4/TtaIwObayvI/AAAAAAAADPY/5AibNWlotRk/s1600/MHO7a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="318" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ii0N1lpbaP4/TtaIwObayvI/AAAAAAAADPY/5AibNWlotRk/s400/MHO7a.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dU1tVIRaVr4/TtaIzgUoYyI/AAAAAAAADPg/2Grov6gIQZY/s1600/MHO8a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="318" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dU1tVIRaVr4/TtaIzgUoYyI/AAAAAAAADPg/2Grov6gIQZY/s400/MHO8a.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I &amp;nbsp;enjoyed making the little illustrated guide to the "top-down set in sleeves" so&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;very much,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;that I've decided to make some more.&lt;br /&gt;I'd really like to share some of my favorite techniques with you. Some of them I dream of using in future knitting patterns as well, but have been thinking that I lack a good source to refer to. And instead of grumbling and feeling limited, I thought I'd just become the source instead. Especially since I love making this kind of thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first thing I want to share, is in reality the first part of a two-part saga. The second part will follow in a couple of days:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've never been a big fan of the classic long tailcast on, where you have to measure out just the right amount of yarn. I never hit even close to the mark, and always have to either ondo and start again because I didn't have enough, or cut several meters of yarn away, which is just annoying - and nerve-wracking.

Jeg fandt på alverdens undskyldninger for at tage en strikkepause, jeg tjekkede mit regneark 100 gange og bredte arbejdet ud og fandt på undskyldninger for hvorfor proportionerne så forkerte ud.&lt;br /&gt;Set i bagklogskabens lyst er det helt absurd at jeg ikke lyttede til mig selv og stolede mere på min egen dømmekraft en på de åndsvage beregninger.&lt;br /&gt;Til sidst var jeg nået så langt, at jeg kunne få min Aksel til at prøve det på og så kunne det bare ikke lade sig gøre at fornægte sandheden længere. Jeg måtte starte forfra om igen - men først efter jeg havde skumlet rundt i 20 minutter mens jeg mumlede bandeord og sendte onde blikke til mit strikketøj.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Og selvom det her er en af de deadlines jeg mere eller mindre selv har opfundet, så havde jeg bare sat mig for at jeg skulle være færdig i denne weekend, så...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Og jeg gjorde det.

Doink!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I had&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;thought that I would drop by the the sheep-farmers Christmas market this weekend, but instead I ended up using my knitting time to knit the same sweater twice.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;It is a new design I'm working on and all the while while I was knitting on it the first time around, I had fears. I came up with all sorts of excuses to take a knitting break, I checked my spreadsheet 100 times and spread the work out and found excuses for why the proportions looked wrong.&lt;br /&gt;However, in retrospect it is quite absurd that I did not listen to myself and relied more on my own judgment instead of on the stupid calculations.&lt;br /&gt;Eventually, I got so far that I could get my Aksel to try it on and then it was just not possible to deny the truth anymore. I had to ripppp and start over again - but only after I had skulked around for 20 minutes murmuring curses and giving my knitting the evil eye. And although this is one of those deadlines I more or less self-invented, so I just had this image in my head of it being finished this weekend, so ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I did it. I finished! And took a dodgy iPhone photo in my enthusiasm...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ha ha, update from the knitting bubble: The&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;sheep-farmers Christmas market isn't even this weekend, it's next weekend.

Jeg har alt for mange planer og alt for lidt tid. Så hvis der er nogen derude der kunne tænke sig at hjælpe mig med at teststrikke nogle af mine design, så har du chancen nu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3WPcfSlnsNk/TrJn_rdXw8I/AAAAAAAADHM/XBjXCqO3sso/s1600/Vitus2fotos1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3WPcfSlnsNk/TrJn_rdXw8I/AAAAAAAADHM/XBjXCqO3sso/s400/Vitus2fotos1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeg kunne for eksempel vildt godt tænke mig, at få lavet Vitus hættetrøje-opskriften færdig (&lt;a href="http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/04/bleugh.html"&gt;se lidt flere detaljer her&lt;/a&gt;), men hver gang jeg sætter mig med det, så pibler ideerne frem. Jeg gad også rigtig gerne, at dette gule garn blev til en lille &lt;a href="http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/08/dagny-er-ude.html"&gt;Dagny&lt;/a&gt; der kan hænge i Rasmillas butik.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QR8k3pitz8c/TrJqiUDhFqI/AAAAAAAADHU/LzF6QulimeA/s1600/RasmillaLuksusgarnGul-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QR8k3pitz8c/TrJqiUDhFqI/AAAAAAAADHU/LzF6QulimeA/s400/RasmillaLuksusgarnGul-1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Penge har jeg desværre ingen af, men jeg ville gerne tilbyde en eller anden form for kompensation. For eksempel har jeg en del lækkert garn - og opskrifter selvfølgelig også *lokkelokke*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Og så skal jeg nok også lige fortælle, at teststrikning af en ny opskrift involverer en del arbejde, strikkeprøvestrikning og den slags. Det er vigtigt at ramme strikkefastheden nøjagtigt, at følge opskriften til punkt og prikke - og at stille spørgsmål og tage noter når opskriften er uklar, har fejl eller tallene ikke stemmer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Og hvis du synes det lyder sjovt, så skal du helt sikkert skrive til mig!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;•&amp;nbsp;•&amp;nbsp;•&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I think I may have to throw in the towel in the ring and ask for help. I have too many plans and too little time. So if there is anyone out there who would like to help me test knit some of my designs, here's your chance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For instance I'd love to finish the pattern for the ​​Vitus Hoodie (see a few more detail here), but every time I sit down to do it, ideas&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;trickles into my brain&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;. I'd also really love for thisyellow yarn to become a little Dagny that can hang in Rasmillas store.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of money I&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;unfortunately&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;have none, but I would like to offer some sort of compensation. For example, I have lots of lovely yarn...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And should probably just say that test knitting a new pattern involves some extra work, some swatch knitting and such. It is important to hit the knitting gauge and to follow the pattern to the letter - and to ask questions and take notes when the pattern is unclear, have errors or the numbers don't add up.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;If you think that sounds like fun, you should definitely write me!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/65456582898093384-9017979566767290465?l=blomstermagt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/feeds/9017979566767290465/comments/default' title='Kommentarer til indlægget'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=65456582898093384&amp;postID=9017979566767290465&amp;isPopup=true' title='7 kommentarer'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/9017979566767290465'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/9017979566767290465'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/11/test-knitters-wanted.html' title='Test Knitters Wanted'/><author><name>Signest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13661193157510794809</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k__uK8Il7Eo/TowCv2NzupI/AAAAAAAAC1w/MynIQbA8b8Y/s220/Viola10FLIP.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3WPcfSlnsNk/TrJn_rdXw8I/AAAAAAAADHM/XBjXCqO3sso/s72-c/Vitus2fotos1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-65456582898093384.post-9002720131194992534</id><published>2011-10-31T20:28:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-10-31T20:28:02.369+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tingogsager'/><title type='text'>Yarn Love</title><content type='html'>Faldt lige over dette fantastiske billede kaldet "Yarn Love" på Etsy (hos &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/junecraft?ref=top_trail"&gt;June Craft&lt;/a&gt;), og så faldt den lige ned i min indkøbskurv.

Det var super fedt at komme til Fredericia og træde ind i de travle og farverige haller. Og besøge Sanne i hendes travle &lt;a href="http://www.rasmilla.dk/"&gt;Rasmilla&lt;/a&gt;-stand. Wow, den var blevet flot. Og midt i den stod &lt;a href="http://knittingbykaae.blogspot.com/"&gt;Charlotte&lt;/a&gt; og strålede i gult og solgte sin bog og skulle lave workshop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--IMBzkXI5-E/TqscixPOB7I/AAAAAAAAC-M/PBTEF1chs98/s1600/KreativeDage-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--IMBzkXI5-E/TqscixPOB7I/AAAAAAAAC-M/PBTEF1chs98/s400/KreativeDage-1.jpg" width="370" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Og mit nye design, Deer Dress (som kommer ud på Ravelry lige om snart) stod SÅ fint udstillet på gine.

Hårh, så var min dag... uge... måned reddet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Det har været sådan en dejlig dag og jeg er helt rundtosset af indtryk og glad i maven af godt selskab.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nUIrT1a8l10/Tqsd-Jn65DI/AAAAAAAAC-k/7AlGtqnJyMw/s1600/KreativeDage2011a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nUIrT1a8l10/Tqsd-Jn65DI/AAAAAAAAC-k/7AlGtqnJyMw/s1600/KreativeDage2011a.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/65456582898093384-5740137846991442227?l=blomstermagt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/feeds/5740137846991442227/comments/default' title='Kommentarer til indlægget'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=65456582898093384&amp;postID=5740137846991442227&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 kommentarer'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/5740137846991442227'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/5740137846991442227'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/10/fun-day-out.html' title='Fun Day Out'/><author><name>Signest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13661193157510794809</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k__uK8Il7Eo/TowCv2NzupI/AAAAAAAAC1w/MynIQbA8b8Y/s220/Viola10FLIP.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--IMBzkXI5-E/TqscixPOB7I/AAAAAAAAC-M/PBTEF1chs98/s72-c/KreativeDage-1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-65456582898093384.post-8954905722236625601</id><published>2011-10-27T23:16:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-27T23:16:09.742+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pang'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='strikkedesign'/><title type='text'>Oh Deer</title><content type='html'>Nå men, så blev jeg lige træt af at &lt;a href="http://www.amio.dk/butik/signest/"&gt;Pang!-shoppen&lt;/a&gt; har set så slatten-halvtom ud så længe, så jeg lagde lige en hel bunke nye maskemarkører ind.

Så snart jeg har gjort det, udgiver jeg opskriften på Ravelry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;So, I was a bit tired of the &lt;a href="http://www.amio.dk/butik/signest/"&gt;Pang! shop&lt;/a&gt; looking so drab and half empty, so I put up a whole bunch of new stitch markers. I've found some more affordable places to buy the elements, so I got to lower the price a little, which makes me happy.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow Friday, I'm trekking all the way to Fredericia and &lt;a href="http://www.kreativedage.dk/"&gt;Kreative Dage craft&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.kreativedage.dk/"&gt; fair&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href="http://www.rasmilla.dk/"&gt;Sanne has gone along ahead with all of her Rasmilla goodies&lt;/a&gt;, and from tomorrow to my newest design is available at her stall.&lt;br /&gt;I am SO looking forward to tomorrow. It will definitely be a super fun and exciting day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was in a bit of a rush to get the pattern ready, so I didn't manage any good pictures. As soon as I have taken some, I will publish the pattern on Ravelry.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/65456582898093384-8954905722236625601?l=blomstermagt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/feeds/8954905722236625601/comments/default' title='Kommentarer til indlægget'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=65456582898093384&amp;postID=8954905722236625601&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 kommentarer'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/8954905722236625601'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/8954905722236625601'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/10/oh-deer.html' title='Oh Deer'/><author><name>Signest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13661193157510794809</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k__uK8Il7Eo/TowCv2NzupI/AAAAAAAAC1w/MynIQbA8b8Y/s220/Viola10FLIP.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QvJOBW3ouOg/TqnFznEGD0I/AAAAAAAAC-E/v0sOQB1Zkd4/s72-c/Pang%2521Collage.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-65456582898093384.post-5782856250139031511</id><published>2011-10-26T08:33:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-26T08:33:55.894+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bøger'/><title type='text'>Meanwhile</title><content type='html'>Her har lige været lidt stille mens jeg har knoklet på for at få mit seneste strikkedesign klar til at blive lanceret på &lt;a href="http://www.rasmilla.dk/"&gt;Rasmillas stand&lt;/a&gt; på &lt;a href="http://www.kreativedage.dk/"&gt;Kreative Dage-messen&lt;/a&gt;.

From the armholes up the vest is worked flat, so a small part of the colorwork is worked back and forth.The colorwork is charted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Vestosaurus has ribbing around the armholes and neck as well as along the bottom.The vest has cute button closings at both shoulder seams allowing for even the largest kid head (one such sits on own my son’s shoulders).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Og idag er jeg dobbelt ekstra glad, for sørme og &lt;a href="http://quinceandco.com/blog/"&gt;de ikke også har blogget om mit lille design.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nYP9Q_qM6_I/TpQ9m-iYvoI/AAAAAAAAC4U/TvzR8TsuC84/s1600/CrossStitchiPhoneIdeas.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="210" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nYP9Q_qM6_I/TpQ9m-iYvoI/AAAAAAAAC4U/TvzR8TsuC84/s400/CrossStitchiPhoneIdeas.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Og så er min korsstingsiphonecase sørme også kommet idag, så nu skal jeg til at vælge hvilken idé jeg skal vælge. Hmm...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;● ● ●&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a small yarn company over in America, named &lt;a href="http://quinceandco.com/"&gt;Quince and Co&lt;/a&gt;. I fell seriously in love with their fantastic yarns when I saw (and felt) them in the Loops booth at Knit Nation this summer. The yarn had the most amazing colors, both lush and ... classy, and also both soft and sheepish at the same time and in just the right way. Just my kind of yarn.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; When I got the idea for the Viola hat, and had knitted the first models in Rasmilla's delicious&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://www.rasmilla.dk/group.asp?group=27"&gt;Luksusgarn&lt;/a&gt;, I found that I also really wanted to try designing out in the Quince and Co. yarn called &lt;a href="http://quinceandco.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=1&amp;amp;products_id=1"&gt;Chickadee&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;K&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;nitting with two or more threads of fine yarn together &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;as I had done with the Ramilla's Luksusgarn&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; is &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;really mostly a Danish thing, and&amp;nbsp; the patterm is written in both Danish and English and are for sale through Ravelry as well as in Rasmilla shop at Halland Street, so... yeah.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; I contacted Quince and Co. and was very happy when they agreed to sponsor&amp;nbsp; Chickadee-yarn for the Viola design. And today, I'm double extra happy &lt;a href="http://quinceandco.com/blog/"&gt;because they've&amp;nbsp; blogged about my little design&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; And also is my cross stitch iphone case has&amp;nbsp; arrived today, so now I have to choose which idea I should go with.

Den hedder Vega, og jeg er stadig meget stolt over designet og glad for at jeg turde gøre det.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-G90eO1dBjqI/TWoQwQUxIsI/AAAAAAAACdI/7HSg2XhLfQY/s1600/VegaFog1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-G90eO1dBjqI/TWoQwQUxIsI/AAAAAAAACdI/7HSg2XhLfQY/s320/VegaFog1.jpg" width="269" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mellemtiden har jeg af flere omgange fået henvendelser fra strikkere, der desværre er gået i stå i opskriften pga. fejl. Jeg kender det jo udemærket fra mine egne oplevelser med strikkeopskrifter, og det er irriterende og noget møg.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeg har også været til nok strikkecafeer hvor strikkere har snakket om forskellige strikkedesignere og negative oplevelser med deres opskrifter - og med god grund, desværre.&lt;br /&gt;Jeg havde lovet mig selv, at jeg ville gøre alt for ikke at havne i den kategori. Jeg vil ikke være en designer hvis opskrifter man skal gætte sig igennem eller som er spættede af fejl. Og slet ikke sådan en strikkedesigner, der ikke er til at få i tale eller som ikke vil vedgive sig fejl og mangler.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeg må indrømme overfor mig selv, at løbet er kørt i forhold til kun at sende fejlfrie opskrifter ud. Men så vil jeg til gengæld gøre mig ekstra, ekstra umage for være sådan en der forholder sig åbent og ærligt til mine fejl, og som gør noget ved dem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UCFP6qbLYQI/To6rrtMICFI/AAAAAAAAC2s/5OQaeczI4nk/s1600/VegaFog3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UCFP6qbLYQI/To6rrtMICFI/AAAAAAAAC2s/5OQaeczI4nk/s320/VegaFog3.jpg" width="258" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Derfor har jeg haft sende Vega opskriften til en professionel tech editor... æhm, til teknisk redigering hedder det vel, og det er jeg super glad for at jeg gjorde. Den søde editor Joeli fra&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://editing.joeliskitchen.com/"&gt;Joeli's Kitchen&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;har hjulpet mig til at få rettet op på de ting der trængte til det - ikke at det var meget eller noget meget slemt, men en enkelt fejl er jo også én for meget.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alle der har købt opskriften får idag en besked via Ravelry med en undskyldning og en nyredigeret og poleret opskrift de kan downloade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Og for fremtiden vil jeg altid bruge en tech editor til mine opskrifter. Det er tydeligvis urealistisk at tro, at jeg kan fange alle fejl og mangler selv, og så må der klart professionelle øjne til.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Så dette er mit løfte:&lt;br /&gt;Jeg lover højt og helligt amager halshug, at jeg vil gøre alt hvad jeg kan for at skrive klare og tydelige - og fejlfrie opskrifter, og jeg lover, at være åben og ærlig hvis der opstår problemer eller fejl. Basta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;● ● ●&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Six months ago I self-published my first pattern. It's called the Vega, and I'm still very proud of the design and happy I dared to do it.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2AH9XocQtgw/TdgdT8lzrcI/AAAAAAAACmU/9ZKXetJ2sfM/s1600/VegaPapaya1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2AH9XocQtgw/TdgdT8lzrcI/AAAAAAAACmU/9ZKXetJ2sfM/s320/VegaPapaya1.jpg" width="269" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Since then, I've been approached by knitters several times&amp;nbsp;who have gotten stuck in the pattern because of an error. I've had this experience with knitting patterns myself, and it is annoying and it stinks.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I've also been to enough knitting cafes where knitters have talked about various knitting designers and their negative experiences with their patterns - and for good reason, unfortunately.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I'd promised myself that I would do anything not to fall into that category. I do not want to be the kind of designer whose patterns you have to guess your way through or which are riddled with mistakes. And certainly not the kind who refuse to acknowledge and correct mistakes when they're pointed out to me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I've have to admit to myself that I'm too late as far as only sending out error-free patterns. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;But I can still be the kind of person who deal with mistakes in an open and honest way, and who does something about them.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gW3Eqp_Tn0c/TdgdGCzPf_I/AAAAAAAACmM/knoSKOwNx9o/s1600/VegaFog2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gW3Eqp_Tn0c/TdgdGCzPf_I/AAAAAAAACmM/knoSKOwNx9o/s320/VegaFog2.jpg" width="217" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;For this reason I sent the Vega pattern to a professional tech editor, and I'm super glad I did. The lovely editor Joeli of &lt;a href="http://editing.joeliskitchen.com/"&gt;Joeli's Kitchen&lt;/a&gt; has helped me to corect the things that needed it - not that it was a lot or very bad, but a single error &lt;u&gt;is&lt;/u&gt; one too many.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Anyone who has bought the pattern from me will receive a message via Ravelry with an apology and a edited and freshly polished pattern for them to download.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;And in future I will always use of a tech editor for my patterns. Clearly it is unrealistic to think that I can catch all errors myself, so professional editing is necessary.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;So this is my promise:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I solemnly swear cross-my-heart that I will in future do everything I can to write clear and error-free knitting patterns, and I promise to be open and honest if there are problems or errors.

Chickadee&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Viola is a playfully dotted little hat, which is both fast and fun to knit, and which adds a bit of color to the cold season. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pattern gives you (me) the perfect oportunity to play with color and yarn choice, and to make as wildly colorful or as harmoniuous a hat as you feel like. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Viola is knit from the bottom op and in the round. It starts with a narrow band of ribbing after which the charted, stranded pattern is knit. The decreases at the top of the hat creates a little swirl that finishes everything of neatly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P4g7MM_nJrA/TothTh8RaqI/AAAAAAAAC1c/xTtvTJ4epOU/s1600/Viola10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P4g7MM_nJrA/TothTh8RaqI/AAAAAAAAC1c/xTtvTJ4epOU/s400/Viola10.jpg" width="311" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;Me wearing Viola in&amp;nbsp;Quince and Co.

Først var der &lt;a href="http://knittingbykaae.blogspot.com/"&gt;Charlottes&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/09/spicy-knits.html"&gt;boglancering&lt;/a&gt; og i fredags blev det så tid til den længe ventede åbning af &lt;a href="http://www.rasmilla.dk/"&gt;Rasmilla's&lt;/a&gt; butik på Hallandsgade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeg har haft den store glæde, at lære Sanna der ejer Rasmilla at kende, og jeg glæder mig SÅ meget på hende vegne over, at hendes drøm om en garnbutik fyldt med hendes skønne garn og opskrifter nu er virkelighed. Jeg glæder mig også på alle Københavnske strikkeres vegne, for det er bestemt ikke en standardbutik. Det er en krea-garn-slik-butik.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se fe.eks. her engang...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NKcfLY9DCAw/Tohpnm3vfSI/AAAAAAAAC0M/a3X-IrwVQJ8/s1600/RamillaFest23.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="268" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NKcfLY9DCAw/Tohpnm3vfSI/AAAAAAAAC0M/a3X-IrwVQJ8/s400/RamillaFest23.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-r9ZZGwA5qz0/Tohp0ifcEUI/AAAAAAAAC0Q/dLrCq0UKFcE/s1600/RamillaFest24.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-r9ZZGwA5qz0/Tohp0ifcEUI/AAAAAAAAC0Q/dLrCq0UKFcE/s400/RamillaFest24.jpg" width="365" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eller her...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q5d7jYd61Mg/TohtPYw83UI/AAAAAAAAC0g/Ie3430j9zJw/s1600/RamillaFest26.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="272" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q5d7jYd61Mg/TohtPYw83UI/AAAAAAAAC0g/Ie3430j9zJw/s400/RamillaFest26.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6gJ2ZkFk438/TohtLIy63GI/AAAAAAAAC0c/17-gFPGNgIU/s1600/RamillaFest25.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6gJ2ZkFk438/TohtLIy63GI/AAAAAAAAC0c/17-gFPGNgIU/s400/RamillaFest25.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Og jeg kunne blive ved, men&amp;nbsp;derudover, så er det også en butik der sælger mine strikkeopskifter. Weeee! Det er fandme vildt, synes jeg, og meget strikkedesigner-for-alvor-agtigt.&lt;br /&gt;Da jeg nærmede mig butikken i fredags, var det dette syn der mødte mig i vinduet:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-x6Qf0E9hZHI/ToglntO5UVI/AAAAAAAAC0E/KTQfPKA3poM/s1600/RamillaFest21.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="205" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-x6Qf0E9hZHI/ToglntO5UVI/AAAAAAAAC0E/KTQfPKA3poM/s400/RamillaFest21.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De prikkede huer forrest i vinduet har jeg designet. Opskriften hedder Viola og kan købes i Rasmilla's butik - og snart også via Ravelry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inde i butikken var der sørme mere jeg har lavet hængt fint frem og til salg. Vesten hedder Vestosaurus, og den kommer også på Ravelry lige om snart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Yj3J83ntnMY/Tohl2hBMPRI/AAAAAAAAC0I/Ve-MYXvEMXA/s1600/RamillaFest22.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Yj3J83ntnMY/Tohl2hBMPRI/AAAAAAAAC0I/Ve-MYXvEMXA/s320/RamillaFest22.jpg" width="276" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Og denne søde dame købte en, og jeg hjalp hende med at vælge farver. Det var lidt et højdepunkt for mig.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dqZT2zvEP00/TohwQRwLujI/AAAAAAAAC00/_kRlkgkBOr4/s1600/RamillaFest27.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dqZT2zvEP00/TohwQRwLujI/AAAAAAAAC00/_kRlkgkBOr4/s400/RamillaFest27.jpg" width="273" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Og så var der ellers strikkehygge og garnshopping dagen lang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zwjTVwepBGI/Tohvx3JLIRI/AAAAAAAAC0o/jsBtwsSMagw/s1600/RamillaFest28.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="270" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zwjTVwepBGI/Tohvx3JLIRI/AAAAAAAAC0o/jsBtwsSMagw/s400/RamillaFest28.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RDHSi0Zn244/Tohv4sn0TfI/AAAAAAAAC0s/DUGmkTYTknA/s1600/RamillaFest29.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="271" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RDHSi0Zn244/Tohv4sn0TfI/AAAAAAAAC0s/DUGmkTYTknA/s400/RamillaFest29.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZrqrfIWJrec/Tohv-jSvmaI/AAAAAAAAC0w/Mi-YIOkCT38/s1600/RamillaFest30.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="271" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZrqrfIWJrec/Tohv-jSvmaI/AAAAAAAAC0w/Mi-YIOkCT38/s400/RamillaFest30.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Ret perfekt dag. Helt perfekt, faktisk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hov, PS, man kan også købe mine Pang! maskemarkører der.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;● ● ●&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;It's been a crazy busy and crazy fantastic week. First there was Charlotte's book launch and last friday it was time for the long awaited opening of Rasmilla's shop on Hallandgade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have had the great pleasure getting to know Sanne, the owner Rasmilla, of late. It's just been such a joy to follow her making her dream of a yarn shop filled with her ​​beautiful yarns and patterns come true. I am also super happy on all Copenhagen knitters' behalf, because this is certainly not yet another standard shop. It is a creative yarn-candy-store.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I could show you lots more pictures , but aside from everything else in there, it's also a shop that sells my knitting patterns.Weeee! It's crazy exciting, I think, and very serious and grown up designer-like.&lt;br /&gt;As I approached the store on friday, this sight greeted me in the window.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've designer the the little dotted hats at the front of the window. The pattern is called Viola and can be purchased in Rasmilla's shop - and&amp;nbsp;through Ravelry&amp;nbsp;very soon as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inside the shop there was one more og my designs on display. This is a vest named Vestosaurus and it'll also be available via Ravelry soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This lovely lady bought one, and I helped her choose colors.

Yesterday I felt extra privileged to call her my friend, as the book and the designs she has created are so wild and cool and beautiful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I caught the very happy and perhaps slightly overwhelmed Charlotte and got her to write a greeting in my Spicy Knits book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And look what is on the very first page of the book - and what Charlotte wrote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a truly wonderful evening. I didn't get to talk to all of the people I wanted to talk to, and I didn't knit at all.&lt;br /&gt;But no worries, as there's another party tomorrow.

Det var både sjovt, hyggeligt og inspirerende.&lt;br /&gt;Jeg fik hæklet noget fint pynt til vores ladcykel i super-akryl-neon-garn. Det holder nok lidt længere end blødt uldgarn i den kommende sæson.

Altså i forhold til strikningen, som er bundet af flere regler og en anden logik (som jeg elsker).&lt;br /&gt;Hvorom alting er, så kom jeg lige på også at hækle mig et lille armbånd, bare fordi jeg kunne.

It was fun, cozy and inspiring.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I crocheted some a lovely decoration for our bike in super-neon acrylic yarns. It'll be a more durable than soft wool yarn in the coming season. Actually, I can easily imagine that it'll last tilllong after both the bike and myself have perished. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Despite of the squeeky yarn, I felt quite inspired by the crocheting - especially the little balls are fun to make, and I was reminded of crocheting's more ... hmm, rule-free nature. I mean, in relation to knitting, which is bound by more rules and a different logic (which I love).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Anyway, so I came ended up crocheting a little bracelet for myself just because I could.

Er det ikke fantastisk.&lt;br /&gt;Heldigvis vidste min mor godt, at jeg har et meget blødt punkt hvad gælder denne symaskine, så da hun købte sig en ny fik jeg den tilbudt. Ja tak!&lt;br /&gt;I mine øjne er det et utroligt smukt stykke funktionelt design, enkel og elegant.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yDPsSy8lz04/Tl4WPL31EgI/AAAAAAAACyg/6btxWHxFk74/s1600/Husqvarna4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="310" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yDPsSy8lz04/Tl4WPL31EgI/AAAAAAAACyg/6btxWHxFk74/s320/Husqvarna4.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zV1pSQs901I/Tl4WS1Gc6OI/AAAAAAAACyk/4VkisR6N1l0/s1600/Husqvarna5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zV1pSQs901I/Tl4WS1Gc6OI/AAAAAAAACyk/4VkisR6N1l0/s400/Husqvarna5.jpg" width="286" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The time is going so fast for me these days. There is work attend, birthday parties to arrange and a cold to mind. But I'm still here, and I'm still knitting. It's just about the only upside to being unwell, I think - that I get to knit in peace in my sickbed.&lt;br /&gt;Almost the only bright spot, for there is also another. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been given my mother's beautiful old sewing machine. It is from sometime in the 50s as far as I know, and it has been in use until quite recently. Isn't that incredible.&lt;br /&gt;Fortunately, my mother knew well that I have a very soft spot for this sewing machine, so when she bought a new I got offered it.

Og det er helt sikkert at jeg ikke kommer til at gøre som Kaffe siger jeg skal mht. kanten. Nixen bixen, jeg kommer ikke til at sidde og strikker frem og tilbage på 5 masker indtil det måler over 2 meter - og så en gang til på den anden side. Kan ikke se hvorfor det skulle være nødvendigt.&lt;br /&gt;Jeg samler masker op hele vejen rundt og gør det på den smertefrie måde. Særligt når der er tale om det her fluffy mohair-stads (er ikke helt taget af "the dark side" endnu), for der er da ingen der kommer til at kunne se forskel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;● ● ●&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I've been ill this weekend, so my my Alder wrap has grown quite a lot.

And you better believe that I will not be doing what Kaffe says I should as far as edge goes. No siree bob, I am definitely not going to sit and knit back and forth on 5 stitches until it measures over 2 meter - and then once more for the other side. Can't see why I should.&lt;br /&gt;I'll pick up stitches all the way around and make it the painless way. Especially since I'm working in this fluffy mohair stuff (not entirely taken by "the dark side" yet) and noone will be able to see the difference anyway.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/65456582898093384-6270576112336162633?l=blomstermagt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/feeds/6270576112336162633/comments/default' title='Kommentarer til indlægget'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=65456582898093384&amp;postID=6270576112336162633&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 kommentarer'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/6270576112336162633'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/6270576112336162633'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/08/halfway-there.html' title='Halfway There'/><author><name>Signest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13661193157510794809</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k__uK8Il7Eo/TowCv2NzupI/AAAAAAAAC1w/MynIQbA8b8Y/s220/Viola10FLIP.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-etTcFIWu-E8/TlNOXx3tjHI/AAAAAAAACyI/HtQfuY61zkU/s72-c/AlderUFO2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-65456582898093384.post-6850559281988045046</id><published>2011-08-19T18:25:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-08-19T18:25:39.593+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='garn'/><title type='text'>Tower of Yarn</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Det er svært inspirerende at opholde sig i længere tid ad gangen i en lækker garnbutik.

Today I've prescribed yarn therapy for myself. On the prescription is this light-as-a-feather alpaca fluff which has been stuffed into a thin mesh along with a bit of merino. It's yarn, but in a different way and it's soooo soooofffftt.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;● ● ●&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS Garnet hedder &lt;a href="http://www.gepardgarn.dk/garn_farvekort/gepard_garn/"&gt;Puno og er fra Gepard garn&lt;/a&gt;.

Ren ulden godhed.&lt;br /&gt;Ærmerne er og&amp;nbsp;strikket&amp;nbsp;oppefra og ned - med venderækker (som i &lt;a href="http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/08/top-down-set-in-sleeves-explained.html"&gt;denne vejledning&lt;/a&gt;) og jeg har simultant strikket en fiks lille ombukket kant langs åbningen og afsluttet med hestetømmekanter på ærmer og bul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sk0pFVFWug4/TkqQPahAIHI/AAAAAAAACxk/h0hOwrchFgs/s1600/TonalCardiFO5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sk0pFVFWug4/TkqQPahAIHI/AAAAAAAACxk/h0hOwrchFgs/s400/TonalCardiFO5.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeg har også lavet små næsten-skjulte "semi-eftertanke-lommer" afterthought pockets. De er ikke ren eftertanke, da jeg ikke pillede det strikkede op, men istedet undevejs indstrikkede en anden tråd der hvor jeg ville have lommerne.&lt;br /&gt;Efter cardiganen var færdig pillede jeg tråden op, og strikkede en lomme med en god solid hestetømmekant, og jeg er meget tilfreds med resultatet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zTgk3yokU5I/TkqQLuU5mdI/AAAAAAAACxg/lrJIqrpJSYI/s1600/TonalCardiFO4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zTgk3yokU5I/TkqQLuU5mdI/AAAAAAAACxg/lrJIqrpJSYI/s400/TonalCardiFO4.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Knapperne er rimeligt uopfindsomme eftersom jeg brugte de samme knapper på &lt;a href="http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2010/02/frdig-flora.html"&gt;en anden cardigan&lt;/a&gt; også.

It was a joy to knit with, and it is equally delicious to wear. Pure woolly goodness.&lt;br /&gt;The sleeves are also knit and the top down - with a short rows (as in &lt;a href="http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/08/top-down-set-in-sleeves-explained.html"&gt;this tutorial&lt;/a&gt;) and I have simultaneously knit a nifty little folded edge along the opening, and finished with i-cord at the edges of the sleeves and body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cLgNmt55NcA/TkqORTT2ZZI/AAAAAAAACxU/0k4ZU_Z9yi0/s1600/TonalCardiFO2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cLgNmt55NcA/TkqORTT2ZZI/AAAAAAAACxU/0k4ZU_Z9yi0/s400/TonalCardiFO2.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I have also made small almost-hidden semi afterthought pockets. They are not a complete afterthought, as I did not unravel stitches afterward, but instead knit some stitches onto waste yarn during the knitting, where I wanted the pockets.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;When the cardigan was finished I unpicked the waste yarn, and knit a pocket with a good solid i-cord edging along its edge.

It is shaped using short rows and is entirely seamless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pattern contains a couple of interesting techniques that might be new to some (crocheted provisional cast-on and garter Kitchener stitch). These are thoroughly explained in the pattern.&lt;br /&gt;I personally love learning new knitting tricks, but it is also possible to knit the pattern without these techniques.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JgYgYvgWCzI/TkTQC94_PpI/AAAAAAAACws/0f0i985uFKs/s1600/2DagnyFront.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JgYgYvgWCzI/TkTQC94_PpI/AAAAAAAACws/0f0i985uFKs/s400/2DagnyFront.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dagny Cardigan&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/dagny-2"&gt;on Ravelry&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Sizes&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6 months og (1, 2, 3 and 4) yars&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Chest&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6 1⁄4 (8, 8 3⁄4, 9 1⁄2, 9 3⁄4) inches&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Length&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8 (9 1⁄2, 10 3⁄4, 11 3⁄4, 12 1⁄2) inches&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;- see also measurement diagram below&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;u&gt;The yarn I used&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Gepard garn’s CottonWool (50% cotton, 50% Merino wool; 180 yards/165 meters per 50 g)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;- men you can easily substitute any other yarn that can be knit to gauge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Gauge&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;24 sitches / 26 garter ridges (52 rows) = 4 x 4 inches in garter stitch&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Click here to buy&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/purchase/signe-s-simonsen-designs/73387" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.ravelry.com/images/shopping/buy-now.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Note that the pattern is available in both Danish and English.&lt;br /&gt;When the pattern has been bought and paid the option to download the pattern in either english or danish will appear.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Mppg-u926lo/TkTRILaDKOI/AAAAAAAACw0/uY8xctpUL_k/s1600/2LucySitting1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Mppg-u926lo/TkTRILaDKOI/AAAAAAAACw0/uY8xctpUL_k/s400/2LucySitting1.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The little cutie pie in the pictures is cousin Lucy, who has just turned 1.

Jeg har kun øje for de grå toner i min cardigan, og jeg er rigtig glad for at de teknikker jeg har valgt har vist sig at fungere så godt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aAm4LvNzv60/Tjl1Bz2YOQI/AAAAAAAACvQ/3msTAwXc_lA/s1600/TonalCardiUFO2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aAm4LvNzv60/Tjl1Bz2YOQI/AAAAAAAACvQ/3msTAwXc_lA/s400/TonalCardiUFO2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeg kan virkelig godt lide hestetømme-kanter (i-cord edging) og havde i mit hoved et billede af en cardigan der er kantet sådan på alle sider.&lt;br /&gt;Jeg vidste bare også &amp;nbsp;at jeg ikke havde lyst til at forstyrre toneskiftene med en enkeltfarvet kant, så en almindelig hestetømmeafslutning langs åbningen var ikke løsningen.&lt;br /&gt;Heldigvis fik jeg for en tid siden kendskab til en ret genial ny måde, at lave kanter samtidig med at man strikker. Damen der har opfundet teknikken hedder &lt;a href="http://anniemodesitt.com/"&gt;Annie Modesitt&lt;/a&gt; og hun kalder den "Slip Stitch Edge", og jeg synes den ligner en hestetømme rigtig meget.&lt;br /&gt;Helt enkelt gør man følgende på retsiden på de 3 første og/eller sidste masker: 1 Ret, 1 maske løst af med garnet holdt foran arbejdet, 1 ret&lt;br /&gt;Og på vrangsiden gør man således:&amp;nbsp;1 maske løst af med garnet holdt foran arbejdet, 1 vrang,&amp;nbsp;1 maske løst af med garnet holdt foran arbejdet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Og denne simple manøvre skaber denne fine kant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En anden udfordring var, at knaphullerne så også skulle strikkes samtidig med alt det andet. Især fordi jeg absolut ville have dem til at se ud på en helt bestemt måde. Jeg ville ikke have sådan nogle meget synlige horisontale åbninger der ligner små munde. Jeg ville have knapt synlige knaphuller der lå lige op ad Modesitt-kanten. Allerhelst vertikale.&lt;br /&gt;Men så er det jo meget heldigt, at jeg har min lille samling strikketekniske bøger lige ved hånden, så den slags er let at finde løsningen på.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xG_3z9oVhio/Tjl7l_pQB0I/AAAAAAAACvU/OzNZiAUEfF4/s1600/TonalCardiUFO3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xG_3z9oVhio/Tjl7l_pQB0I/AAAAAAAACvU/OzNZiAUEfF4/s400/TonalCardiUFO3.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;● ● ●&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm still knitting with blinders on. I only have eyes for the gray tones in my cardigan and I'm really pleased that the techniques I've chosen are working so well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really like i-cord edgings and had an image in my head of a cardigan with i-cord on all edges.&lt;br /&gt;I also knew that I did not want anything to interfere with the tonal changes tone, and an edge of a single color would do this, so regular i-cord edging along the opening was not the solution.&lt;br /&gt;Luckily I learnt of an&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;ingenious&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;new (to me) way to make edges while you knit. The lady who invented the technique is called &lt;a href="http://anniemodesitt.com/"&gt;Annie Modesitt&lt;/a&gt; and she calls it the "Slip Stitch Edge". I think it resembles a knitted on i-cord edging quite a lot.&lt;br /&gt;Simply, do you do the following on the&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;first 3 and / or last 3 stitches&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;on the right side rows: K1, slip 1 with the yarn held in front, k1&lt;br /&gt;And on the reverse side you do as follows:&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;slip 1 with the yarn held in front, p1,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;slip 1 with the yarn held in front.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;And that simple move creates this lovely polished-looking edge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another challenge was that the button holes which then also had to be knit at the same time as everything else. It was especially challenging because I had this specific look in mind.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;I did not want very visible horizontal openings that look like tiny mouths. I wanted barely visible buttonholes that were right next to the Modesitt-edge. Preferably vertical.&lt;br /&gt;Then it's very fortunate that I have my small collection of knitting technique books at my fingertips, so solutions are easily found.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/65456582898093384-333597366752394539?l=blomstermagt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/feeds/333597366752394539/comments/default' title='Kommentarer til indlægget'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=65456582898093384&amp;postID=333597366752394539&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 kommentarer'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/333597366752394539'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/333597366752394539'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/08/woolly-gray-days.html' title='Woolly Gray Days'/><author><name>Signest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13661193157510794809</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k__uK8Il7Eo/TowCv2NzupI/AAAAAAAAC1w/MynIQbA8b8Y/s220/Viola10FLIP.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aAm4LvNzv60/Tjl1Bz2YOQI/AAAAAAAACvQ/3msTAwXc_lA/s72-c/TonalCardiUFO2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-65456582898093384.post-2849917897347522945</id><published>2011-08-01T09:49:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-08-01T09:49:13.021+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='strikketeknik'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='strik'/><title type='text'>Monogamous Knitting</title><content type='html'>Jeg har været fuldstændig ensporet rent strikkemæsssigt på det senest. Også selvom jeg har adskillige design igang og et stort tæppe til en veninde, som jeg virkelig burde få gjort færdigt.&lt;br /&gt;Ikke desto mindre har jeg kun haft øjne for min min cardigan i &lt;a href="http://www.jarbon.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;products_id=143"&gt;det smukke tonale garn fra John Arbon&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeg bruger den viden jeg fik på det super spændende Knit Nation-kursus holdt af Carol Feller, der hed Seamless Kitting: Moving Beyond the Raglan.&lt;br /&gt;Hun lagde især vægt på et klassisk "set-in sleeve", som jeg ikke ved hvad hedder på dansk. Altså et ærme med ærmeklokke (har jeg ladet mig fortælle det hedder), som man traditionelt strikker separat og derefter sidder og bakser med at få til at passe ind i ærmegabet.&lt;br /&gt;Det er cirka 1.000 gange nemmere at strikke ærmet oppefra og ned. Man samler masker op langs ærmegabet, strikker venderækker lidt som var det hælen på en strømpe og strikker derefter ærmet med indtagninger indtil det passer i længden til en arm - og man kan jo bare prøve den på.

"ease". Hah! endnu et ord jeg ikke har på dansk. Ease = Hvor tæt eller løst man til kroppen det strikkede sidder.&lt;br /&gt;Det gør det sjovt og enkelt at strikke derudaf selvom nogle af metoderne er nye og uprøvede.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;● ● ●&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;I have been totally single-minded lately as far as knitting goes. Even though I have several designs going as well as a big blanket for a friend that I really should finish.&lt;br /&gt;Nevertheless, I have only had eyes for my cardigan in t&lt;a href="http://www.jarbon.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;products_id=143"&gt;he beautiful tonal yarn from John Arbon&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm uinge the knowledge I got at the super exciting Knit Nation-course held by Carol Feller called Seamless Knitting: Moving Beyond the Raglan.&lt;br /&gt;She placed particular emphasis on the classic "set-in sleeve", which is traditionally knit separately after which you have to sit and try to get it to fit in the armhole.&lt;br /&gt;It is about 1,000 times easier to knit the sleeve from the top down. You just pick up stitches along the armhole, knit short rows sort of like it was the heel of a sock and then knit the sleeve down, decreasing along the way until it is the right length - and you can try it on along the way. It's brilliant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carol Fellers course material was so well through out and thorough, that by the end we had a complete knitting pattern tailored to our measurements and our preferences in terms of ease.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;It makes it simple to knit away even though some of the techniques are new and yet untried.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/65456582898093384-2849917897347522945?l=blomstermagt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/feeds/2849917897347522945/comments/default' title='Kommentarer til indlægget'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=65456582898093384&amp;postID=2849917897347522945&amp;isPopup=true' title='8 kommentarer'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/2849917897347522945'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/2849917897347522945'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/08/monogamous-knitting.html' title='Monogamous Knitting'/><author><name>Signest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13661193157510794809</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k__uK8Il7Eo/TowCv2NzupI/AAAAAAAAC1w/MynIQbA8b8Y/s220/Viola10FLIP.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fnag4J9qU48/TjZXwBRvNZI/AAAAAAAACvM/6CubXbIlL80/s72-c/TonalCardiUFO.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-65456582898093384.post-1267118886018157190</id><published>2011-07-29T11:06:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2011-07-29T11:06:01.010+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bøger'/><title type='text'>Lots of Books</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;En klog kvinde har for nylig overbevist mig om vigtigheden i at have et godt bibliotek at strikke- og andre relevante bøger (jeg var helt ærligt ikke ret svært at overbevise).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Det passer mig rigtig fint at have en masse gode steder at finde viden, inspiration og hjælp til at komme videre, når jeg arbejder med et strikkedesign.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Hm, det lyder lidt snovski, synes jeg, når jeg skriver det.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Men den slags spørgsmål beskæftiger min hjerne af og til, må jeg indrømme...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Hvornår kan man (læs: jeg) med berettigelse kalde sig for strikkedesigner?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Hvornår kan man med rette kalde sin samling af strikkebøger for et bibliotek?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Jeg er rigtig langt fra det sidste, men forhåbentlig tættere på at kunne kalde mig selv strikkedesigner.

Det skal der laves om på, og jeg har hørt at Lucy Neatby er damen at vende sig mod.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PluvurE8k0g/Ti_Kb6USqUI/AAAAAAAACuc/dK2IBpNJ0vo/s1600/CoolKnittersNeatby.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PluvurE8k0g/Ti_Kb6USqUI/AAAAAAAACuc/dK2IBpNJ0vo/s400/CoolKnittersNeatby.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Cool Knitters Finish in Style: Make your stitches smile! by Lucy Neatby&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Jeg har en særligt interesse for skandinaviske strikketraditioner og særligt for de danske, der må findes, men som ikke er særligt velafdækkede eller "fremme". Jeg har ladet mig fortælle at Strik med Nordisk Tradition af&amp;nbsp;Vibeke Lind skulle være en særligt fantastisk bog, og derfor følte jeg trang til at eje den.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Desværre er den for længst udgået fra forlaget og er desuden svær at finde til en rimelig penge brugt, så jeg slog straks til da jeg fandt en godt brugt udgave af den engelske oversættelse til salg for en slik (på &lt;a href="http://www.alibris.co.uk/"&gt;alibris.co.uk&lt;/a&gt;). Det er et stykke tid siden, men nu er bogen endelig kommet. Den har engang tilhørt et bibliotek i USA. Det synes jeg egentlig er ret hyggeligt - nok især fordi jeg samtidig kan hygge mig med den gode pris.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ESj3aFgQAlo/Ti_KqGMCKhI/AAAAAAAACuo/yM-bUVb4JiQ/s1600/KnittingInTheNordicTradition.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ESj3aFgQAlo/Ti_KqGMCKhI/AAAAAAAACuo/yM-bUVb4JiQ/s400/KnittingInTheNordicTradition.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I en lækker boghandel et sted i Sverige faldt jeg over denne fantastiske bog om farveteori, som er et evigt fascinerende emne for mig.

Eller når den til sokkeholderne hvad gælder præsentation.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Al4sLM1zrhI/Ti_KWguiBXI/AAAAAAAACuY/Jujtn0cC3FY/s1600/ColourAndersonFeisner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Al4sLM1zrhI/Ti_KWguiBXI/AAAAAAAACuY/Jujtn0cC3FY/s400/ColourAndersonFeisner.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Colour by Edith Anderson Feisner&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Og så fik jeg på Bohus Län museet i Uddevalla chancen for at føje endnu en bog om Bohus Stickning til min lille bitte samling.

I'd certainly like to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, back on topic.&lt;br /&gt;I am painfully aware that part of why I prefer seamless knitting patterns (own and others') is that I'm not very good at seaming and other such finishings.&lt;br /&gt;It is not the main reason, nor even a big reason why I prefer seamless knits, but the fact is that I am a much better knitter than I am seamer or finisher. This has to change now, and I've heard that Lucy Neatby is the lady who can help me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a special interest in Scandinavian knitting traditions and especially in the Danish, which must exist, but is not very known. I am told that Knitting in the Nordic Tradition by Vibeke Lind is a particularly fantastic book, and therefore I felt theurge to own it.&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, the book has long since been discontinued by the publisher. It is also hard to find at reasonably prices second hand one (at least in Danish), so I struck immediately when I found a good used copy in the English translation for sale for a song (on alibris.co.uk). It's a while ago, but now the book has finally arrived. It once belonged to a library in the U.S. which I think it really is rather charming - probably mainly because I also got it so cheap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a wonderful bookstore somewhere in Sweden, I came across this amazing book on color theory, which is an eternally fascinating subject for me. None of the books I found in the library covers the subject half as well as this. Or present is half as well visually.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;at the Bohus Län Museum in Uddevalla,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;I got the chance to add to another Bohus book to my tiny collection. In reality I don't thing exists any other books on the topic than the two I now own.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got my very last new acquisition in a trade with &lt;a href="http://knittingbykaae.blogspot.com/"&gt;the talented Kaae&lt;/a&gt;.

Det var super hyggeligt at se dem tikke ind og læse jeres søde ord. Så tak!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I år tror jeg godt man kunne kalde mine Marketplace shoppevaner for lidt sære. Jeg mener, jeg var fuldstændig omringet af fantastisk lækkert garn og alligevel købte jeg stort set ikke noget. Bortset fra det fantastiske tonale grå garn, som jeg &lt;a href="http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/07/simply-perfect.html"&gt;allerede har vist frem&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(det er &lt;a href="http://www.jarbon.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=36_54&amp;amp;products_id=143"&gt;Knit by Numbers fra Fibre Harvest&lt;/a&gt;).

Jeg vil ikke have en garnsamling, jeg vil have garn, som skal strikkes med. Som jeg kan nå at strikke med indenfor en overskuelig fremtid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Istedet for garn købte jeg en masse, masse bøger på Knit Nations markedsplads. Jeg var i 7. himmel da jeg opdagede hvor mange fantastiske bøger der var at få i år.&lt;br /&gt;Først og fremmest købte jeg Ysolda Teagues Little Red in the City. Allerede hjemmefra viste jeg, at det var et must, og jeg må sige, at det var et virkelig godt købt. Bogen er fantastisk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AJCO5SLvkIo/Ti_JjWncthI/AAAAAAAACuM/0BJw7xmQXKY/s1600/LittleRedInTheCity1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AJCO5SLvkIo/Ti_JjWncthI/AAAAAAAACuM/0BJw7xmQXKY/s400/LittleRedInTheCity1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ysolda selv havde en fin bod på Knit Nation, hvor man kunne prøve alle modellerne fra bogen og flere til, kunne få taget et billede af sig selv med de fine strikkede varer på - eventuelt i selskab med designeren selv, og hvor man kunne få sit eksemplar af Little Red signeret.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4M0slw5jwik/Ti_KxkMRJiI/AAAAAAAACuw/5EakIu47CiI/s1600/LittleRedInTheCity2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4M0slw5jwik/Ti_KxkMRJiI/AAAAAAAACuw/5EakIu47CiI/s400/LittleRedInTheCity2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;På grund af mit længerevarende betagelse af Bohus Stickning (som siden Knit Nation har blomstret til en forelskelse) vidste jeg også at jeg ville købe bogen Poems of Color, hvis den var at finde. Det var den, så det gjorde jeg.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-C7V0qZfor7I/Ti_K2_5KghI/AAAAAAAACu0/VA0hA-CkhaE/s1600/PoemsOfColor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-C7V0qZfor7I/Ti_K2_5KghI/AAAAAAAACu0/VA0hA-CkhaE/s400/PoemsOfColor.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Poems of Color: Knitting in the Bohus tradition by Wende Keele&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeg fandt den på en skøn lille bogreol i Loop-boden hvorfra jeg endte med at gøre de fleste af mine indkøb.

Jeg blev ved med at komme i tanker om steder jeg lige kunne smutte forbi. Heriblandt var også det mageløse stormagasin Liberty, som alle dage har været en favoritsted at dimse rundt.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Denne gang opdagede jeg, at der i stofafdelingen fandtes et helt bord med "rester", dvs. alle mulige af de lækre print i en meter lange stykker til den halve af normalprisen. Jeg fandt et print jeg holder af, og nu er jeg en enkel lille syopgave fra at have et blødt og smukt tørklæde til mig selv.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WYbuDhUvsQw/Ti_KujErVbI/AAAAAAAACus/EUW0cXnk4oM/s1600/LibertyFabric.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WYbuDhUvsQw/Ti_KujErVbI/AAAAAAAACus/EUW0cXnk4oM/s400/LibertyFabric.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Mine sommerindkøb er ikke stopper med det, men dette var hvad jeg slæbte hjem fra London. Jeg glæder mig til at vise mindre andre indkøb frem også.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;● ● ●&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Before I begin my long list of all the wonderful up that I bought at Knit Nation, I'll hasten to say many thanks for the sweet comments you wrote me while I was at Knit Nation. It was really nice to see them ticking in and read your sweet words. So thank you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This year I think my Marketplace shopping habits could be called a little weird. I mean, I was completely surrounded by stunning yarn and yet I bought virtually none of it. Aside from the amazing tonal gray yarn that &lt;a href="http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/07/simply-perfect.html"&gt;I have already shown you&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;(it is&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jarbon.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=36_54&amp;amp;products_id=143"&gt;Knit by Numbers from Fibre Harvest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;).&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;And which I have already started knitting with, I just couldn't resist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It may seem crazy that I haven't bought any other yarn, but I already have SO much lovely yarn that I really want to knit with, and even though I do have much yarn, so I am not a collector of nature. I don't want a yarn collection, I want yarn that I have time to knit with in the foreseeable future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of yarn I bought a lots of books at the Marketplace. I was in seventh heaven when I discovered how many wonderful books that were for sale this year.&lt;br /&gt;First and foremost, I bought Ysolda Teague's Little Red in the City. Long before I left for Knit Nation I knew that I wanted it and I must say that it was a really good purchase. The book is fantastic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ysolda had a nice booth at Knit Nation, where you could try all the garments from the book and more, people could have their picture taken in a cute photo booth wearing the fine knitted goods - possibly in company with the designer herself, and where you could get his copy of Little Red signed.&lt;br /&gt;Because of my long infatuation with Bohus Stickning (which has since Knit Nation blossomed into a love) I also knew that I would buy the book Poems of Color, if it was available. It was, so I did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found it on a nice little bookshelf in the Loop booth, where I ended up doing most of my purchases. And I could easily have bought more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;The day after I returned for this book. I really like The Knitter's Book of Wool by the same author which I already own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to this I only made a few small purchases. The first one was because I had not brought a small enough knitting needle to my Bohus course. Luckily I could just slip over to the Marketplace during a break and find a nice one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My first day in London I walked all over town in sheer joy of being back. I kept thinking of new places I wanted to revisit. Among them was also the unique department store Liberty, which has always been a favorite place to gizmo around (hilarious translation, thank you google translate. I meant wander about).&lt;br /&gt;This time while I was in the fabric department I&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;discovered&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;a whole table with "leftovers", ie. lots of the gorgeous prints in one meter cut offs at half the normal price. I found a print I like, and now I am an easy sewing job away from having a soft, beautiful scarf for myself.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My summer shopping does not stop with this, but this was what I towed home from London. I am excited to show my other purchases off as well.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/65456582898093384-7477189264796578771?l=blomstermagt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/feeds/7477189264796578771/comments/default' title='Kommentarer til indlægget'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=65456582898093384&amp;postID=7477189264796578771&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 kommentarer'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/7477189264796578771'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/7477189264796578771'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/07/knit-nation-shopping.html' title='Knit Nation Shopping'/><author><name>Signest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13661193157510794809</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k__uK8Il7Eo/TowCv2NzupI/AAAAAAAAC1w/MynIQbA8b8Y/s220/Viola10FLIP.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vhqn3inOPO4/Ti_IWPAuKLI/AAAAAAAACuI/YHBcCCzD4wY/s72-c/GrayMossStitch.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-65456582898093384.post-7808806969010311287</id><published>2011-07-25T11:21:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-07-25T11:21:30.584+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='strik'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bohus'/><title type='text'>Spontaneously Away</title><content type='html'>Jeg lovede at fortælle mere om Knit Nation og især om hvad jeg købte, og så blev her pludselig stille. Sagen er den at jeg istedet drog på spontanferie med min familie. vi tog til Sverige. Og det har været super sjovt, mærkeligt, hyggeligt, vådt og oplevelsesrigt.&lt;br /&gt;Jeg fik også besøgt en enkelt strikkebutik på vejen, men det var med min Nova ved hånden, så jeg ved ikke om man kan sige jeg rigtigt fik udnyttet de 5 minutter til optimal garnosning. Butikken virkede ellers fin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JJORfSohgyE/Ti0wedACB8I/AAAAAAAACuA/ulAXsG8oJz4/s1600/SwedenLund.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JJORfSohgyE/Ti0wedACB8I/AAAAAAAACuA/ulAXsG8oJz4/s400/SwedenLund.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Sländan in Lund&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Efter &lt;a href="http://www.oneofsusannas.com/"&gt;Susanna Hanssons Bohus Stickning-kursus&lt;/a&gt; var jeg ikke svær at overtale til at tage op nord for Götebotg til Bohus Län. Det er et helt fantastisk smukt område, og så er der i byen Uddevalla et museum, som skulle have en udstilling med Bohus Stickning. Der måtte vi selvfølgelig hen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-itWUILaL8n4/Ti0xMxOIsnI/AAAAAAAACuE/D854dNH_xcw/s1600/SwedenBuhusLanMus.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-itWUILaL8n4/Ti0xMxOIsnI/AAAAAAAACuE/D854dNH_xcw/s400/SwedenBuhusLanMus.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Bohus Stickning at &lt;a href="http://www.bohuslansmuseum.se/Kultur_Default.aspx?id=3475"&gt;Bohus Län Museum&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Udstillingen var mindre end jeg havde forventet, men jeg er glad for at vi besøgte museet. De øvrigt udstillinger var virkelig flotte, og hele oplevelsen var meget stemningfuld fordi museet blev fyldt af tonerne fra en&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evert_Taube"&gt;Taube&lt;/a&gt;-hyldest&amp;nbsp;visesangskoncert, som var flyttet indenfor pga. vejret.&lt;br /&gt;Mht. Bohus Stickning, så var højdepunktet den flotte udstilling af færdigstrikkede&amp;nbsp;modeller fra &lt;a href="http://www.solsilke.se/"&gt;Solsilke&lt;/a&gt; i museumsbutikken (jeg elsker museumsbutikker), og den fine lange liste af strikkekits til salg samme sted.&lt;br /&gt;Det er helt klart en af mine store strikkelivsambitioner, at jeg skal strikke mig selv en Bohus sweater af et &lt;a href="http://www.solsilke.se/"&gt;Solsilke&lt;/a&gt; kit inden jeg dør - og gerne snart. Problemet er bare at vælge hvilken...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;● ● ●&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I promised to write more about Knit Nation and especially about what I bought, and then I suddenly went all quiet. The reason was that I went on a spontaneous vacation with my family. We went to Sweden. And it's been super fun, weird, cozy, rainy and exciting.&lt;br /&gt;I also visited a single knitting shop on the way, but it was with my Nova in one hand, so I do not know if you can say I really got the optimal browsing experience out of the 5 minutes we were in the shop. It seemed like a lovely shop, though.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;After &lt;a href="http://www.oneofsusannas.com/"&gt;Susanna Hansson's Bohus Stickning class&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;I was not hard to persuade to travel north of Göteborg to Bohus Län. It is an amazingly beautiful area, and in the town of Uddevalla there is a museum that has an exhibition of Bohus Stickning. Of course we had to go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The exhibition was smaller than I had expected, but I'm glad we visited the museum. The other exhibits were really nice and the whole experience was very inspiring.

Så havde jeg lynhurtigt et stort, blødt tørklæde som vi kunne lave kartoffeltryk på.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-s-Fs3sq7uDY/ThVikOvVFPI/AAAAAAAACs4/z0NIKBO0xRo/s1600/Scarf2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-s-Fs3sq7uDY/ThVikOvVFPI/AAAAAAAACs4/z0NIKBO0xRo/s320/Scarf2.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Det er fantastisk hvor langt man kan komme med en kartoffel, en kniv, noget stofmaling og to ivrige børn.

I miss Yksi and Kaksi a lot during the day, which is probably a consequence of all the thinking and feeling-time i have all of a sudden, but it's all good. It missing in the best way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I had the idea for a fun but simple project we could do together, which also meant that I could have some of them with me, when I'm all alone a large portion of the day:&lt;br /&gt;I bought something cotton voile at Stof2000 (it was on sale), cut a large square and zig-zagged the edges. Instantly I had a large, soft scarf that we could we could print on using potatoes.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;It is amazing how far you can get with just a potato, a knife, some fabric paint and to eager kids.

Det er lille kusine Lucys der er model, og jeg havde fået sådan en idé om, at et par hvide mamelukker ville være søde til den gule farve.&lt;br /&gt;Mamelukkerne ville jeg sy i broderi anglaise, og siden stof2000 kun havde noget der havde den fine kant i stoffets ene side, måtte jeg købe et godt stykke. Faktisk så meget, at der også var stof til en lille sommertop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a72jRUQ0hFE/ThNn07aYYhI/AAAAAAAACsk/zLWt6UtqF2s/s1600/LucyOutfit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a72jRUQ0hFE/ThNn07aYYhI/AAAAAAAACsk/zLWt6UtqF2s/s320/LucyOutfit.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Og et lille hårbånd - for jeg havde også gået og tænkt lidt på en lille, hvid blomst til Lucys hår. Jeg havde set sådan en &lt;a href="http://news.holidash.com//2010/04/23/mothers-day-corsage/"&gt;fin tutorial&lt;/a&gt;. Jep, selvsving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3VUaO5WkJAw/ThNn9nFbNbI/AAAAAAAACso/h1TvgOZzHnE/s1600/flower.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3VUaO5WkJAw/ThNn9nFbNbI/AAAAAAAACso/h1TvgOZzHnE/s320/flower.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Nu er Lucy heldigvis så ufatteligt nuttet, at hun kan bære det meste, og billederne hvor hun har Dagny på er blevet så fine.

Little cousin Lucy is the model, and I had this idea in my head that a pair of white bloomers would be a cute match for the yellow cardi.&lt;br /&gt;I wanted to sew the bloomers out of broderi anglaise fabric, and since stof2000 only had some with the pretty, frilly edge at one edge of the fabric, I had to buy quite a bit. In fact so much that there was enough fabric for a small summer top.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And also a little hair band - because I had this idea of making a little white flower for Lucy's hair. I had seen this &lt;a href="http://news.holidash.com//2010/04/23/mothers-day-corsage/"&gt;nice tutorial&lt;/a&gt;. Yep, overboard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fortunately&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Lucy is&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;so unbelievably cute that she can pull it off, and the pictures og her wearing Dagny have come out really well.

Det er jo rigtig sødt og højner bare spændingen en tand mere, men helt ærligt &lt;i&gt;som om&lt;/i&gt; jeg ville glemme at komme.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeg er meget spændt på de to kurser jeg har valgt, og mine forventninger er rimeligt høje efter sidste års meget &lt;a href="http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2010/08/alt-om-knit-nation-del-1-onsdag-og.html"&gt;inpirerende&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2010/08/alt-om-knit-nation-del-2-fredag-og.html"&gt;oplevelser&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mit første kursus, som ligger fredag fra 9-16:45 (dog med en frokostpause) hedder&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;S&lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;eamless Knitting: Moving Beyond the Raglan&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; og underviseren er &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Carol Feller&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; (&lt;a href="http://www.stolenstitches.com/"&gt;hjemmeside her&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;I kursusbeskrivelsen står der at vi skal udforske grundlæggende "sømfri" strikning&amp;nbsp;(hvordan katten oversætter man seamless?)&amp;nbsp;og lære hvordan man skaber beklædningsstykker der sidder perfekt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Det er jo en rimeligt åben beskrivelse, men jeg håber meget, at det ikke bliver meget "basic", og at det kommer til at handle om så mange forskellige spændende teknikker, som muligt. Med en hel dag skulle det være muligt at nå omkring en del.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carol Feller er en meget spændende designer, så jeg kan ikke forestille mig at det bliver andet end super interessant at høre en masse om design og sømløs konstruktion set fra hendes perspektiv.&lt;br /&gt;Hvis jeg er heldig fortæller hun også noget om hendes bog, som skulle komme ud til august, og som jeg glæder mig meget til.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Vs3SzDCGvKw/Tg9WM4f-eAI/AAAAAAAACsc/mDBK6uvlpVA/s1600/Contemporary-Irish-Knits-Feller-Carol-9780470889244.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Vs3SzDCGvKw/Tg9WM4f-eAI/AAAAAAAACsc/mDBK6uvlpVA/s400/Contemporary-Irish-Knits-Feller-Carol-9780470889244.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Contemporary Irish Knits af Carol Feller&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mit andet kursus ligger søndag fra 9-17 (også med frokostpause) og hedder&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Bohus Stickning: Hand knitting, haute couture and social justice&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;.&lt;/i&gt; Underviseren hedder &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Susanna Hansson&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; (&lt;a href="http://www.oneofsusannas.com/"&gt;hjemmeside her&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bohus strikning er simpelthen så spændende et emne, som jeg glæder mig meget til at lære en masse mere om. Af kursusbeskrivelsen kan jeg læse, at vi både kommer omkring historien, teknikkerne og det praktiske, dvs. vi selv skal strikke Bohus pusvarmere. Det lyder simpelthen som det helt perfekte miks, hvis man spørger mig.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeg har længe været fascineret a Bohus stickning. Faktisk siden mit meget langvarige crush på &lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/the-wild-apple-yoke-pullover"&gt;Wild Apples&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;startede.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JgjAVssPCBo/Tg9UpfcowuI/AAAAAAAACsY/pEDoHWJMHCM/s1600/WildApples.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JgjAVssPCBo/Tg9UpfcowuI/AAAAAAAACsY/pEDoHWJMHCM/s400/WildApples.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;billede lånt hos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://theraineysisters.com/?cat=48"&gt;theraineysisters.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Yesterday evening I received an email from Knit Nation reminding me that I have signed up for classes. It's really sweet and just adds to my anticipation, but honestly &lt;b&gt;as if&lt;/b&gt; I would forget to come.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am very excited about the two courses I've chosen, and my expectations are fairly high after last year's very inspiring experiences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My first class, which is Friday from 9 to 16:45 (with a lunch break) is called &lt;b&gt;Seamless Knitting: Moving Beyond the Raglan&lt;/b&gt; and the teacher is &lt;b&gt;Carol Feller&lt;/b&gt; (&lt;a href="http://www.stolenstitches.com/"&gt;website here&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;The course description says that we will explore basic seamless knitting and learn how to create garments that fits perfectly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a fairly open description, but I very much hope that it will not be too basic and will be about as many different and exciting techniques as possible. With a full day of class it should be possible to get around a lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carol Feller is a very interesting designer, so I can not imagine that it will be anything other than fascinating to hear more about design and seamless construction seen from her perspective.&lt;br /&gt;If I'm lucky she will also talk about her book, which should come out in August. I'm looking forward to that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My second class is Sunday from 9 to 17 (also with lunch break) and is called &lt;b&gt;Bohus Stickning: Hand knitting, haute couture and social justice&lt;/b&gt;. The teacher is &lt;b&gt;Susanna Hansson&lt;/b&gt; (&lt;a href="http://www.oneofsusannas.com/"&gt;website here&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bohus knitting is just such an fascinating subject and I'm very happy that I'll be learning a lot more about it soon. From the class course description I can see that we will both get around the history, the techniques and the practical, ie. we have to knit Bohus wrist warmers. To me it sound like the perfect mix.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've long been fascinated with Bohus knitting.

Efter eget valg. Denne uge var nemlig min allersidste som hjemmepasser, og den skulle være helt særlig. Vi har været på kanalrundfart, spist sushi, leget med neglelak, været på skovtur, på Bakken og på stranden (meget heldigt de 3 sidste ligger klods op ad hinanden), har syet en fin kjole og har soppet og leget i solen. Mig og min Nova.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-W6wDvZsOGXk/Tg39-G7xgJI/AAAAAAAACsQ/Uq5Vr7LMmyg/s1600/NovaNaniIro1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-W6wDvZsOGXk/Tg39-G7xgJI/AAAAAAAACsQ/Uq5Vr7LMmyg/s400/NovaNaniIro1.jpg" width="336" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Siden Nova blev født for 3 år siden har jeg passet hende og storebror Aksel hjemme og det har været helt fantastisk og perfekt for os. Sidste sensommer besluttede store Aksel at han gerne ville i børnehave, og nu idag er Nova så startet. Hun har været tip top klar til det længe, men man skal jo også lige have en plads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Det er lidt vemodigt at den tid nu er forbi, men jeg indrømmer gerne at jeg også har glædet mig meget. Nu starter en ny tid, hvor der er mere plads til at jeg kan udfolde mig kreativt og sætte flere af mine strikkeprojekter og drømme i søen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeg har (selvfølgelig) også strikket lidt i løbet af ugen - og syet, men har ikke fået taget billeder endnu. Jeg glæder mig også til at skrive om mine Knit Nation-kurser... imorgen, måske.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;● ● ●&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;And then the week flew by without me noticing it. By my own choice. This week was my very last week staying at home with my daughter, so it had to be special. We've been on a canal tour, have eaten sushi, played with nail varnish, been on a picnic, to an amusement park - Bakken, and to the beach (luckily the last three are right next to each other), we've sewn a pretty dress and have been to the paddling pool and have played in the sun. Just me and my Nova.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-K_U3NgutYYM/Tg3-DXhOrAI/AAAAAAAACsU/l0PVAICuTi8/s1600/NovaNaniIro2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-K_U3NgutYYM/Tg3-DXhOrAI/AAAAAAAACsU/l0PVAICuTi8/s640/NovaNaniIro2.jpg" width="329" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Since Nova was born 3 years ago, I've been at home with her and her older brother Aksel, and it's been wonderful and just perfect for us. Late last summer Aksel chose to start in daycare (wonder if that is the right word) and today Nova started as well. She's been super ready to start for a long time, but we've had to wait for a place to open up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I'm feeling a little sad that this time is over, but I'm also happy to admit that I've been looking forward to this. This is the start of a new time, where I have more space to be creative and to work on my knitting projects and dreams.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I've also been knitting a bit during the week (naturally) - and sewing as well, but I haven't taken any photos yet. I'm looking forward to writing about my Knit Nation classes as well... tomorrow, maybe.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/65456582898093384-8143055538801552917?l=blomstermagt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/feeds/8143055538801552917/comments/default' title='Kommentarer til indlægget'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=65456582898093384&amp;postID=8143055538801552917&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 kommentarer'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/8143055538801552917'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/8143055538801552917'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/07/endings-and-beginning.html' title='An Ending and a Beginning'/><author><name>Signest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13661193157510794809</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k__uK8Il7Eo/TowCv2NzupI/AAAAAAAAC1w/MynIQbA8b8Y/s220/Viola10FLIP.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-W6wDvZsOGXk/Tg39-G7xgJI/AAAAAAAACsQ/Uq5Vr7LMmyg/s72-c/NovaNaniIro1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-65456582898093384.post-3847830778470044362</id><published>2011-06-26T17:37:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-06-26T17:37:25.796+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Knit Nation'/><title type='text'>Tick Tock</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fgfRYSdnDoo/TgdSBpjNsbI/AAAAAAAACr4/CQbquepVpMo/s1600/KnitNationlogo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fgfRYSdnDoo/TgdSBpjNsbI/AAAAAAAACr4/CQbquepVpMo/s200/KnitNationlogo.jpg" width="160" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Nu er der efterhånden ikke længe til Knit Nation 2011, og nedtællingen er for alvor gået i gang for mig. Jeg glæder mig allerede så meget at det kilder lidt i maven.&lt;br /&gt;Jeg har sågar tegnet mig et lille overblik over min tur og de ting jeg skal nå. Jeg skal bland andet have en lille tatovering på min hånd. Det må man nemlig ikke få i herhjemme i Danmark. Jeg skal også prøve at nå en lille tur&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.londongraphics.co.uk/acatalog/Retail_Stores.html"&gt;London Graphic Centre&lt;/a&gt; i Covent Garden, og så skal jeg også se min veninde der er flyttet tilbage dertil.&lt;br /&gt;Jeg har i det hele taget mange planer, for jeg elsker, elsker, elsker London og kommer der alt for sjældent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yWIfJtyHhzE/TgdCq-5C-9I/AAAAAAAACrw/5gkRLnQoNzU/s1600/KN2011Plans1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yWIfJtyHhzE/TgdCq-5C-9I/AAAAAAAACrw/5gkRLnQoNzU/s400/KN2011Plans1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Når det kommer til stykket kommer jeg stensikkert slet ikke til at følge planen. Det skulle ihvertfald ligne mig dårligt, men det er en hyggelig måde at glæde sig på.&lt;br /&gt;Meget ulig mig har jeg også printet alle papirer i gooood tid, bare fordi jeg glæder mig og fik lyst til at have håndfaste beviser på at det kommer til at ske. Snart. Jeg har også fundet mit pas frem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iXID6fdbkbM/TgdCtdK-a-I/AAAAAAAACr0/8bilKUnwTt4/s1600/KN2011Plans2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iXID6fdbkbM/TgdCtdK-a-I/AAAAAAAACr0/8bilKUnwTt4/s400/KN2011Plans2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Det kunne være jeg skulle skrive lidt mere om de kurser jeg tager, og om hvad jeg tænker på at købe på Knit Nations Marketplace.&lt;br /&gt;Jeg overvejer også at skrive daglige indlæg mens jeg er derovre. Bare sådan nogle små stemningsrapporter via min iPhone. Det kunne måske være meget sjovt...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;● ● ●&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;There is not very long at all until Knit Nation 2011 starts now, and the countdown has really started for me. I am already so excited that I get butterflies thinking about it.&lt;br /&gt;I've even drawn myself a little overview of my trip and the things I need to do. I will have a small tattoo done on my hand. It is illegal to tattoo on the hands here in Denmark. I will also try to take a little trip to London Graphic Centre in Covent Garden, and I also want to see my friend who has moved back there.&lt;br /&gt;I have a whole lot plans, because I love, love, love London and visit far too seldom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When it comes down to it I will probably not to follow the plan. It would certainly me unlike me if I did, but it's a nice way to channel my anticipation.&lt;br /&gt;I have also printed all necessary papers in gooood time, which is even more unlike me, just because of my excitement and the need to have solid proof that I really am going to go. I also located my passport.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps I should write a little more about the courses I'm taking and what I am thinking of buying at the Knit Nation Marketplace.&lt;br /&gt;I am also considering writing daily posts while I'm there. Just little updates via my iPhone.

Og så har hun det mest fantastiske knapstativ fyldt med alverdens fede, gamle (og mindre gamle) knapper.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-g4RhqeWRV9s/TgBtiS29VGI/AAAAAAAACrk/PtlpLAcXH9E/s1600/AnneTineKnapper.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="387" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-g4RhqeWRV9s/TgBtiS29VGI/AAAAAAAACrk/PtlpLAcXH9E/s400/AnneTineKnapper.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Og det her er kun et lille udsnit af knapperne. Mums!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Og derfor er det aldrig et problem, at finde de perfekte knapper til et strikkeprojekt. Det største problem er at navigere ud af butikken igen uden at forelske sig i et eller andet.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="almost_half_cell" id="gt-res-content" style="padding-right: 16px; padding-top: 9px;"&gt;&lt;div dir="ltr" style="zoom: 1;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="hps" title="Klik her for at få vist alternative oversættelser"&gt;&lt;div class="almost_half_cell" id="gt-res-content" style="padding-right: 16px; padding-top: 9px;"&gt;&lt;div dir="ltr" style="zoom: 1;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="hps" title="Klik her for at få vist alternative oversættelser"&gt;● ● ●&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="hps" title="Klik her for at få vist alternative oversættelser"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finished the translation and layout of the Aksel Vest on Sunday evening. The pattern is now available PDF download in Danish on Ravelry. At some point i'll have figure out how to upload the file to my website as well...&lt;br /&gt;It's a great relief and a wonderful thing that the work is finally done. My list has just gotten gotten onger and longer lately, so it's nice to check off something that has been on my mind.&lt;br /&gt;It easily turns to gravy inside my head if I have too many design ideas, tasks and plans going at once, and suddenly important matters&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;disappears&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;down in the mud. Fortunately, I can tick off a couple more things very soon, and even furtunately, I have fun with all these tasks.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="hps" title="Klik her for at få vist alternative oversættelser"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Dagny cardigan only needs buttons to be done, and the patterns is sent out to a couple of lovely test knitters (check). Happily finding the right buttons is not a problem, as I have a fantastic shop on the corner of my street: Anne Tine (no website or anything, but the address is Istedgade 45).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the photo is only a small selection of her buttons. Yum!&lt;br /&gt;So it is never a problem to find the perfect buttons for a knitting project. The biggest problem is navigating out of the store again without falling in love with something.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="g-section" id="gt-res-tools" style="display: inline-block; margin-top: 16px; vertical-align: top; width: 620px; zoom: 1;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="g-section" id="gt-res-tools" style="display: inline-block; margin-top: 16px; vertical-align: top; width: 620px; zoom: 1;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/65456582898093384-3148205288377461679?l=blomstermagt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/feeds/3148205288377461679/comments/default' title='Kommentarer til indlægget'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=65456582898093384&amp;postID=3148205288377461679&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 kommentarer'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/3148205288377461679'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/3148205288377461679'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/06/aksel-in-danish.html' title='Aksel in Danish'/><author><name>Signest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13661193157510794809</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k__uK8Il7Eo/TowCv2NzupI/AAAAAAAAC1w/MynIQbA8b8Y/s220/Viola10FLIP.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hw3HGoEZpjs/TgBEBRne_zI/AAAAAAAACrc/aP-3fH8P1Jc/s72-c/AkselVest5.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-65456582898093384.post-1760037660323769748</id><published>2011-06-19T18:22:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-06-19T18:22:54.778+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='strikkedesign'/><title type='text'>Nova in Danish</title><content type='html'>Lørdag morgen sendte jeg familien afsted på landet, så jeg kunne få frie hænder til at en maratonsession helliget strikkeopskriftoversættelse med mere. Jeg arbejdede non-stop til jeg dejsede igår, og her til morgen vågnede jeg op og fortsatte hvor jeg havde sluppet ved midnat.&lt;div&gt;Familien er nu kommet hjem igen, og jeg har kysset og krammet de savnede dejlinger. Og nu sidder jeg igen og knokler løs. Jeg er SÅ opsat på at få de danske udgaver af Aksel-vesten og Nova-kjolen ud idag.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Og lige nu tager jeg en pause fra arbejdet for at blogge om, at jeg netop har lagt oversættelsen af Nova-kjolen på Ravelry. Wuhuu! &lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/nova-2"&gt;Opskriften ligger nu som pdf-download på danske lige her&lt;/a&gt;.

Særligt én af København super søde strikkere, Ellen, har været mig en stor hjælp.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Jeg taler ganske enkelt ikke strikke-dansk flydende nok endnu, så det har været helt uvurderligt, at Ellen tilbød sin hjælp. Ellen ejer i øvrigt også &lt;a href="http://www.strikkegarnet.dk/"&gt;Strikkegarnet.dk&lt;/a&gt; - og da jeg lige var henne og hente linket opdagede jeg at hun har udsalg med 20%.

I worked non-stop until I keeled over yesterday and this morning I woke up and continued where I had left off at midnight.&lt;br /&gt;The family has now returned from the country, and I've kissed and hugged them all over, and now I'm back at computer toiling away. I am trying SO hard to get the Danish versions of the Aksel vest and the Nova dress up today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And just now I'm taking a break from working on the patterns to blog about just having uploaded the translation of the Nova-dress to Ravelry. Wuhuu! &lt;a href="http://And right now I take a break from work to blog about that I have just completed the translation of the Nova-dress on Ravelry. Wuhuu!

Especially one of Copenhagen sweet knitters, Ellen, has been a great help.&lt;br /&gt;I simply do not speak knitting Danish fluently enough yet, so it has been absolutely invaluable to me that Ellen offered her help. Ellen owns Strikkegarnet.dk - and when I popped over to grab the link I discovered that she has a sales on - 20%.

Til gengæld fik jeg snakket, grinet og genset en masse søde mennesker, og der var også mange der var interesserede i både &lt;a href="http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/03/i-yarn-cph-t-shirts.html"&gt;I yarn CPH t-shirts&lt;/a&gt; og &lt;a href="http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/06/good-postal-day.html"&gt;de fine nye I yarn CPH krus&lt;/a&gt;.

Jeg nåede heldigvis at føre ideen ud i livet, så jeg kunne køre i Kongens Have med dette på min ladcykel:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-anVfjURvkpQ/TfT5cNPIsdI/AAAAAAAACok/kNs44dyJ_Jc/s1600/IyarnCPHooo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-anVfjURvkpQ/TfT5cNPIsdI/AAAAAAAACok/kNs44dyJ_Jc/s320/IyarnCPHooo.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Det jeg havde malet på cyklen før var næsten helt skallet af, så... ja, så fik jeg lige ideen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeg mistede (selvfølgelig) tidsfornemmelsen midt i al hyggen, og måtte ræse hjem igen før fødselsdagsgæsterne kom. Der var også lige en lagkage der skulle pyntes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GUm7HfWb_vU/TfT5kSnJrxI/AAAAAAAACow/86yRR9UEuuE/s1600/Nova3Cakes_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="275" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GUm7HfWb_vU/TfT5kSnJrxI/AAAAAAAACow/86yRR9UEuuE/s400/Nova3Cakes_1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cookie Monster cupcakes'ne havde hele familien samarbejdet om at lave om formiddagen. Det var SÅ sjovt (vi havde set &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyejCAWsN6U"&gt;denne youtube-video&lt;/a&gt; om fremgangsmåden).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_FrpOhonCuw/TfT5nrlCd9I/AAAAAAAACo0/3QZOEWcqL6g/s1600/Nova3Cakes_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_FrpOhonCuw/TfT5nrlCd9I/AAAAAAAACo0/3QZOEWcqL6g/s320/Nova3Cakes_2.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Og lagkagen er pyntet sådan dels fordi Nova og jeg var i en kage-dims-butik forleden, hvor de havde glimmer til kager og Nova var helt solgt. Dels fordi jeg, siden &lt;a href="http://pinterest.com/"&gt;Pinterest&lt;/a&gt; blev en del af mit liv har været fascineret af kagepyntning, og... måske en anelse besat af at lure &lt;a href="http://nightbaking.blogspot.com/2011/05/chocolate-rose-wedding-shower-cake-with.html"&gt;denne kage&lt;/a&gt; af. Det var faktisk overraskende nemt (fandt hjælp&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://iammommy.typepad.com/i_am_baker/2011/02/rose-cake-tutorial.html"&gt;her&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fSG5kKHFGTc/TfT5qU1se8I/AAAAAAAACo4/IcfJxh0wVhI/s1600/Nova3Cakes_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fSG5kKHFGTc/TfT5qU1se8I/AAAAAAAACo4/IcfJxh0wVhI/s320/Nova3Cakes_3.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today has been an absolutely perfect day from beginning to end. Most importantly because my little, lovely turns 3 today, and we spent a very enjoyable morning celebrating her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I went to a fabulous World Wide Knit in Public Day (WWKIP) in The King's Garden for a few hours in the sparkling sunlight with a whole bunch of lovely and happy knitters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was &lt;a href="http://www.byslavi.dk/"&gt;sweet Slavi&lt;/a&gt; who had arranged it all via the &lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/groups/copenhagen-knitters"&gt;Copenhagen Knitters group&lt;/a&gt; on Ravelry and through Facebook.&lt;br /&gt;And I very much enjoyed myself. I did not knit very much - did get a bit done, but only because it felt silly to have been been at WWKIP without having knitted. In stead of knitting I got to talk to and see a lot of lovely people. And people were very interested in the &lt;a href="http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/03/i-yarn-cph-t-shirts.html"&gt;I Yarn CPH t-shirts&lt;/a&gt; as well as the &lt;a href="http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/06/good-postal-day.html"&gt;brand new mugs&lt;/a&gt;, and that also made me super happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other day I mentioned in passing that I had gotten an idea for a place to put the I Yarn CPH "logo". Luckily I managed to bring the idea into practice, and I was able to bike to the King's Garden with this on my cargo bike.&lt;br /&gt;What I had painted on the bike before was almost completely chipped off, so ... yeah, so I got this idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Because I had such fun&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;I lost my sense of time (&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;of course)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;, and had to race back home before the birthday guests arrived. There was also a birthday cake that had to be decorated.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The Cookie Monster cupcakes the whole family made together this morning, and it was SO much fun&amp;nbsp;(we had watched &lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyejCAWsN6U"&gt;&lt;i&gt;this youtube-video&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;to learn how).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;br /&gt;And the birthday cake (layer cake) is decorated as it is partly because Nova and I visited a cake decoration shop that had edible glitter. Partly because since Pinterest entered my life I have been fascinated by the cake decorating and ... maybe a tad obsessed with figuring &lt;a href="http://nightbaking.blogspot.com/2011/05/chocolate-rose-wedding-shower-cake-with.html"&gt;this cake&lt;/a&gt; out. It was actually surprisingly easy&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;(found a tutorial&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://iammommy.typepad.com/i_am_baker/2011/02/rose-cake-tutorial.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;i&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #888888; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="g-section" id="gt-res-tools" style="display: inline-block; margin-top: 16px; vertical-align: top; width: 620px; zoom: 1;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/65456582898093384-2805749523382624858?l=blomstermagt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/feeds/2805749523382624858/comments/default' title='Kommentarer til indlægget'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=65456582898093384&amp;postID=2805749523382624858&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 kommentarer'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/2805749523382624858'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/2805749523382624858'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/06/perfect-day.html' title='Perfect Day'/><author><name>Signest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13661193157510794809</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k__uK8Il7Eo/TowCv2NzupI/AAAAAAAAC1w/MynIQbA8b8Y/s220/Viola10FLIP.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rHfNAB6lehQ/TfTz7mGpZVI/AAAAAAAACog/tFK-C3luv_0/s72-c/Nova3aar.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-65456582898093384.post-3115323603696172039</id><published>2011-06-10T11:14:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-06-10T11:15:55.257+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='strikketeknik'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='strik'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='strikkedesign'/><title type='text'>The Non-knitting Parts</title><content type='html'>Idag er herhjemme helliget de der ikke-strikke dele af strikning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Jeg vil går virkelig langt for at undgå det sy-arbejde, som ellers er så stor en del af... hmm, traditionelt strik, hvis man kan sige sådan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Det vil sige, at jeg går en lang bue udenom de strikkeopskrifter hvor man strikker alting i stykker - forstykker, bagstykke, ærmer og kanter, som man så skal sy sammen til sidst. De gange jeg har prøvet den type projekt, har de færdigstrikkede dele ligget længe og hensygnet i en mørk krog før de blev til noget. Hvis de da nogensinde er blevet gjort færdige.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Jeg er vildt med at strikke. Jeg er ikke vild med at sy ting i hånden. Jeg er også ret glad for "instant gratification"(omgående tilfredsstillelse), hvis man kan kalde det det. Når jeg har strikket noget færdigt, så har jeg lyst til at det er færdigt, eller ihvertfald meget tæt på at være færdigt. Jeg gider ikke til, at halvdelen af arbejdet stadig ligger foran mig.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Men de der ikke-strikke-dele af strikning kan jo ikke helt undgås, og så længe det kommer i små portioner og desuden er ikke-strik på den okay-sjove måde, så går det lige.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KYYEB6W8FnQ/TfHaxQQ-JBI/AAAAAAAACoA/s-4lGgu8ZFc/s1600/DagnyKitchener1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KYYEB6W8FnQ/TfHaxQQ-JBI/AAAAAAAACoA/s-4lGgu8ZFc/s400/DagnyKitchener1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Kitchener stitch er ret sjovt. Selvom jeg ikke helt kan greje hvad det hedder på dansk. Dette er ærmet af Dagny cardi'en, som skal have en retstrikket Kitchener-lukning istedet for en stor, klumpet syning... søm.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-H__uMOdkZXo/TfHa43v1-YI/AAAAAAAACoE/WLQ8WyaP-wE/s1600/Vitus4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-H__uMOdkZXo/TfHa43v1-YI/AAAAAAAACoE/WLQ8WyaP-wE/s400/Vitus4.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sjovt nok har jeg, selvom jeg jo ikke er fan af syning af strik, valgt at lommerne til Vitus-designet strikkes separat og syes på. Det blev simpelthen så bøvlet at sidde og svinge med en helt færdig hoodie for at strikke lommerne på - ihvertfald i forhold til, at det kun ville eliminere en enkelt side af sy-arbejdet og ikke det hele.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Jeg fik også endelig snøvlet mig i Handler, og fandt en lynlås der farvemæssigt går an. Desværre fik jeg købt den et nummer for lang, da jeg hverken havde målt kanten eller taget trøjen med derind. Så tjekket er jeg nemlig.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Og så til noget helt andet. Jeg tror jeg har fundet på endnu et sted, at sætte denne her. Det bliver sjovt.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D4SMBu_7zsY/TfHdJE5_XLI/AAAAAAAACoI/oWa_T1TOXmk/s1600/iYARNcph%2528c%2529ii.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D4SMBu_7zsY/TfHdJE5_XLI/AAAAAAAACoI/oWa_T1TOXmk/s400/iYARNcph%2528c%2529ii.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Today is devoted to the non-knitting parts of knitting.&lt;br /&gt;I will go quite far to avoid the sewing work which is such a large part of ... hmm, traditional knitting patterns.&lt;br /&gt;This means that I'll normally stear well clear of patterns where you knit everything in pieces - fronts, back, sleeves and edges, and then sew everything together afterwards. The few times I've tried this type of project, the finished parts have &amp;nbsp;languishing in a dark corner for a long time before it was finished. If they ever were.&lt;br /&gt;I love to knit. I'm not crazy about sewing things by hand. I'm rather fond of instant gratification, if one can call it that. When I have finished knitting something, I want the thing to be finished, or at least very close to being finished. I do not want half of the work to still be ahead of me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But those non-knitting parts of knitting can not be completely avoided, and as long as it comes in small doses and is non-knitting on the fairly fun way, I can manage.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Kitchener stitch is pretty good fun. Although I can not figure out what it's called in Danish. This is the sleeve of Dagny cardi'en, which needs a garter Kitchener-closure instead of a big, lumpy seam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Funnily enough, although I am not a fan of sewing knits,&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I have&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;elected to knit the pockets of Vitus design separately and then sew them on. It was just so awkward to sit and flip the whole finished hoodie bakc and forth to knit the pockets on - at least when it only eliminated one little side of the sewing work and not all of it.&lt;br /&gt;I also finally got my act together and went to Handler to buy a zip in a color that is sort of okay. Unfortunately, I bought it too long because I had neither measured nor taken the sweater along with me. This is how organized I am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then for something completely different. I think I've found one more place to put this. It'll be fun.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/65456582898093384-3115323603696172039?l=blomstermagt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/feeds/3115323603696172039/comments/default' title='Kommentarer til indlægget'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=65456582898093384&amp;postID=3115323603696172039&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 kommentarer'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/3115323603696172039'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/3115323603696172039'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/06/non-knitting-parts.html' title='The Non-knitting Parts'/><author><name>Signest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13661193157510794809</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k__uK8Il7Eo/TowCv2NzupI/AAAAAAAAC1w/MynIQbA8b8Y/s220/Viola10FLIP.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KYYEB6W8FnQ/TfHaxQQ-JBI/AAAAAAAACoA/s-4lGgu8ZFc/s72-c/DagnyKitchener1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-65456582898093384.post-3368463402576568711</id><published>2011-06-08T16:17:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-06-08T21:31:51.840+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tingogsager'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='iyarncph'/><title type='text'>A Good Postal Day</title><content type='html'>Igår var en virkeligt dejlig dag rent postmæssigt. Først nåede den fine vintage bogstavside frem, som jeg &amp;nbsp;købte via &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/"&gt;Etsy&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;forleden. Jeg ♥ Etsy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GEcQHIbtzKA/Te9_ywvNF7I/AAAAAAAACn0/tedQhKmUnII/s1600/YforYarn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GEcQHIbtzKA/Te9_ywvNF7I/AAAAAAAACn0/tedQhKmUnII/s400/YforYarn.jpg" width="311" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Og derefter kom et pakkebud, med en stort papkasse fyldt med disse fine krus jeg har fået lavet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-49oFHg3WEZs/Te-CKrf9h4I/AAAAAAAACn8/9_UkWExQmG0/s1600/IyarnCPHmug_lille.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-49oFHg3WEZs/Te-CKrf9h4I/AAAAAAAACn8/9_UkWExQmG0/s1600/IyarnCPHmug_lille.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;højde: 9,5 cm ● diameter: 8 cm&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Jeg har været lidt bekymret for, om de nu nåede at komme inden World Wide Knit in Public day i Kongens Have på søndag. Det ville være så fint, hvis dem der har bestilt (eller bare nogle af dem) kunne få krusene i hånden da, istedet for at PostDanmark skal rodes ind i det.&lt;br /&gt;Og så kom de skisme allerede igår. Og kvaliteten er bare super god, opvaskemaskinesikker og alting. Det samme er størrelsen. Jubiii, jeg er glad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;De fleste af krusene har allerede en ny ejer, men der er stadig et par uden, hvis nogen skulle få lyst til at eje et strikkekrus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Edit: Glemte at skrive, at de koster 60 kr. stykket :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;● ● ●&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday was a really nice day for mail. First came the lovely vintage letter page, that I bought on Etsy yesterday. I ♥ Etsy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then came a parcel delivery man arrived with a big cardboard box filled with these lovely mugs I've had made​​.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been a little worried that they might not arrive before the World Wide Knit in Public Day in the King's Gardens on Sunday. It would be so great if those who ordered (or at least some of them) could get their mug in hand then, instead of having to mail them out.&lt;br /&gt;And then they arrived in such good time. And the quality is just super good, dishwasher safe and all. And the size is perfect. Jubiii, I'm happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of the mugs already have new owners, but there are still a few without if anyone would like to own a knitting mug.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/65456582898093384-3368463402576568711?l=blomstermagt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/feeds/3368463402576568711/comments/default' title='Kommentarer til indlægget'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=65456582898093384&amp;postID=3368463402576568711&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 kommentarer'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/3368463402576568711'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/65456582898093384/posts/default/3368463402576568711'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/06/good-postal-day.html' title='A Good Postal Day'/><author><name>Signest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13661193157510794809</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k__uK8Il7Eo/TowCv2NzupI/AAAAAAAAC1w/MynIQbA8b8Y/s220/Viola10FLIP.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GEcQHIbtzKA/Te9_ywvNF7I/AAAAAAAACn0/tedQhKmUnII/s72-c/YforYarn.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-65456582898093384.post-192961055708132416</id><published>2011-06-07T10:05:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-06-07T10:14:13.321+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='garn'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ufo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='strik'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='strikkedesign'/><title type='text'>I'm baaack</title><content type='html'>Jeg er tilbage! Og det er en stor glæde, at jeg nu kan strikke igen. Og en lettelse.&lt;br /&gt;Selvfølgelig har jeg straks kastet mig ud i adskillige nye projekter, som jeg har ligget og tankestrikket på mens jeg var ukampdygtig.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F8-ZMLu6CDQ/Te3ZzJ2Sq6I/AAAAAAAACno/YPoClrznNVs/s1600/DagnyII.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F8-ZMLu6CDQ/Te3ZzJ2Sq6I/AAAAAAAACno/YPoClrznNVs/s400/DagnyII.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeg har slået op til den nye og forbedrede retro cardigan. Den skal hedde Dagny, har jeg besluttet.&lt;br /&gt;Det går som lyn og torden at strikke den, og jeg nyder at udarbejde de tekniske detaljer i at gøre den totalt ud-i-et-uden-irriterende-sømme-der-skal-sys-til-sidst.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nu hvor jeg har haft tid til at tænke over det, er det også gået op for mig at jeg absolut ikke er KAL (Knit ALong) typen. Og slet ikke når det er en såkaldt Mystery KAL, hvor man får bidder af opskriften serveret med jævne intervaller og slutresultatet holdes hemmeligt.&lt;br /&gt;Jeg har opdaget at en stor del af fornøjelsen ved at strikke, for mig, ligger i at jeg har total frihed til at vælge hvad jeg strikker, hvornår og hvor længe. Det er simpelthen en mojo-killer for mig, at skulle strikke på en udefra dikteret tidsplan. Så Spriteling KAL'en, &lt;a href="http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/03/inspired-influenced.html"&gt;som jeg tidligere havde besluttet at deltage i&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;er nu droppet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4o5FXOp3YJM/TYMiuE9n4gI/AAAAAAAACgo/2KesvwEb2zI/s1600/SpritelingSwatch2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="361" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4o5FXOp3YJM/TYMiuE9n4gI/AAAAAAAACgo/2KesvwEb2zI/s400/SpritelingSwatch2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wollmeisegarnet, som jeg ville have strikket mysterie-sjalet ud af er dog stadig fuldstændig fabelagtigt, og jeg havde stadig rigtig meget lyst til at arbejde det med. Det har ligget fremme på mit bord, og hver gang jeg er kommet forbi har det kaldt på mig.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Og her er så endnu en grund til, at Ravelry er sådan en fabelagtig opfindelse. Forleden morgen faldt jeg for et super smukt sjal i de nyligt uploadede opskrifter (&lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/medusa-8"&gt;Medusa&lt;/a&gt;) og fordi den er til salg via Ravelry, så kunne jeg købe, downloade og printe opskriften straks. Og så snart min ryg tillod det, kunne jeg slå maskerne op og genvinde min mojo. Jeg elsker det.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XwZygo6qcxM/Te3Z8Ng9PjI/AAAAAAAACnw/b3DT_pEw7Js/s1600/MedusaUFO2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XwZygo6qcxM/Te3Z8Ng9PjI/AAAAAAAACnw/b3DT_pEw7Js/s400/MedusaUFO2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I'm back! And it is a great pleasure for me that I can now knit again. And a relief.&lt;br /&gt;Of course I've immediately started several new projects that I have been thinking of knitting while I was incapacitated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've cast on for the new and improved retro cardigan. I've decided I'll name it Dagny.&lt;br /&gt;It knits up super fast, and I'm enjoying working out the technical details that makes this a totally seamless little knit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that I have had time to think about it, it also dawned on me that I'm absolutely not the KAL (Knit Along) type. And certainly not when it is a Mystery KAL, where you get bits of the recipe served at regular intervals and the end result kept secret.&lt;br /&gt;I have discovered that a large part of the pleasure of knitting, for me, lies in me having total freedom to choose what I knit, when and for how long. It is simply a mojo-killer for me that I have to knit to a schedule decided by someone else. So thew Spriteling KAL'en &lt;a href="http://blomstermagt.blogspot.com/2011/03/inspired-influenced.html"&gt;which I wrote about participating in&lt;/a&gt; is dropped.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2izfOS0wHxs/Te3Z4iYPnkI/AAAAAAAACns/RgKcSBEcmlw/s1600/MedusaUFO1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2izfOS0wHxs/Te3Z4iYPnkI/AAAAAAAACns/RgKcSBEcmlw/s400/MedusaUFO1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Wollmeise yarn that I would have knitted my mystery shawl out of is still completely fabulous, and I still very much wanted to work with it. It has been sitting on my desk and every time I've passed it has called out to me.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RNmb3g_ab90/TYMiyribauI/AAAAAAAACgw/3M0aQjs2k2s/s1600/SpritelingWollmeise2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RNmb3g_ab90/TYMiyribauI/AAAAAAAACgw/3M0aQjs2k2s/s400/SpritelingWollmeise2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;And here is another reason that Ravelry is such a fabulous invention: The other morning I stumbled upon a super beautiful shawl in the newly uploaded patterns (&lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/medusa-8"&gt;Medusa&lt;/a&gt;), and because it is for sale through Ravelry, I could buy, download and print the pattern immediately. And within hours, I could cast on and have my mojo back.
