her skal jeg fortælle om mine erfaringer med mit strik og indimellem også vise nogle billeder af det som bevis på at jeg virkelig får lavet noget!

FO, en taske til min hemmelige taskebyt-ven / FO, a bag for my secret bagswap-friend

-So the bag is finally shipped off to my secret bagswap-friend in Denmark. It´s made of pink Lopi and pale-grey Bauernwolle together with a pale pink thin mohair and decorated with butterfly-buttons and a single flower. The bag is knitted on needles US10 and then felted in the washing-machine. Now I just hope the recipent can use it for something. It weighs 365gr so total usage is up to 3.919grams.

Garn-bytte-kasse / Yarn-swap-box

-Vi bytter garn! Nogle af os "udlændinger" på webstrik er med på at bytte garn. Irene har sendt en kasse af sted med diverse godter, man tager ud hvad man gerne vil have og sætter noget andet ind i stedet for. Jeg har nu sent den videre til USA.
-We´re swapping yarn! Some of us "foreigners" in webstrik are swapping yarn. Irene has sent out a box with various goodies, you take out what you´d like to have and put in something else instead. I have now sent it on to USA.

-Her kan I se hvad jeg tog ud: der er 6-tr sokkegarn, Kauni, 4-tr sokkegarn og noget utrolig blödt uld/mohair blanding. Jeg fik også 10 nögler af smukt blåmix-farvet bomuld/acryl garn, Lerici, dog lykkedes det mig ikke at poste et billede af det så det må I have til gode.
-Here you can see what I took out: there´s 6-ply sockyarn, Kauni, 4-ply sockyarn and some soooft wool/mohair mix. I also got 10 balls of a pretty bluemix-colour cotton/acrylic yarn Lerici, couldn´t post a photo of it, you´ll have to see it later.

Færdig med 2 ud af 3 operationer / Done with 2 out of 3 operations
-Yesterday I had eyeoperation nr 2 out of 3. It was now my left eye which got a lasik-operation. And the result is fantastic! I can now do everything without glasses. I will need a pair of reading glasses, those cheap ones that you can get in gasstations and drug-stores. I´m supposed to use them for reading small print and computerwork. But in a couple of months the right eye will be operated on again, this time with lasik like the left one. After that I won´t be needing any glasses at all. It was totally crazy this morning driving my car out to the doctor´s without glasses, so that he could check out how it was all doing. He was very pleased with how it´s healing and I have no pain at all. So now you could honestly say that I see life in a whole new perspective!

Hvor heldig kan man egentlig være?/ How lucky can you get?

-For nogle dage siden læste jeg på Anni´s blog om hvordan hun havde ryddet op i sit garn. Hun viste en stor pose med garn hun sagde skulle foræres væk. Jeg skrev en kommantar og spurgte af min nysgerrighed hvem mon var så heldig at få foræret en hel pose med garn. Og hvad gjorde hun så? Hun sendte posen til mig!
Hvor er det dog dejligt at der findes så söde og kærlige mennesker, og det sammenhold der findes indenfor strikkernes lille verden! Jeg er bare så glad, for det smukke garn naturligvis, men ikke mindre fordi jeg gennem blogger og webstrik har stiftet venskaber med sådanne yndige mennesker. Garnet; der er Kauni, hele to bundter i brunt/rust, der er umærket dejlig blöd uld i grönt og gult, der er dansk pelsuld i en smuk himmelblå og flot rustbrun og der er lidt bomuldsgarn i en frisk havblå. Jeg er glad!!!
-A few days ago I read on Anni´s blog how she was reorganizing her yarnstash. She showed a big bag of yarn she said she was going to give away. I wrote a comment asking in curiosity who was so lucky as to get a big bag of yarn gifted. And what did she do? She sent the bag to me! How wonderful that there are such sweet and lovely people, and the feeling of community within the knitters little world! I´m just so happy, for the beautiful yarn of course, but just as much because I have, through blogging and my internet knitting group made friends with such wonderful people. The yarn; there´s Kauni, two whole hanks in brown/rust, there´s unlabeled soft wool in green and yellow, there´s Dansk Pelsuld in a pretty blue and great rusty brown and there´s a little cotton in a fresh ocean blue. I´m happy!!!

FO, en hæklet babyvest / FO, a crocheted babyvest

-Jeg har et FO, den hæklede babyvest fra Mariannes hækle-along.
-I have an FO, the crocheted babyvest from Marianne´s crochet-along.

-Den sjove skulderdetalje. Jeg brugte Katia Jamaica, 100% bomuld, lidt tykkere end Mariannes garn, så den blev en str ca. 1 år.
-The fun shoulder-detail. I used Katia Jamaica, 100% cotton, it´s a little thicker than Marianne´s yarn, so it´s a size 1 year old.

-Den vejer 110gram, så brug af lager er oppe på 3.401gram.
-It weighs 110grams, so use of stash is up to 3.401grams.

Tingene atter under kontrol! / Things are under control again!
-Ok, so I have decided on a plan of action on how to regain control over my projects.

-De seks projekter er:
1. mit tæppe af hæklede firkanter, ikke vist her.
2. hæklet vest i bomuld, efter Mariannes hækle-along opskrift.
3. mönstret babysweater efter Vivians top-down raglan opskrift.
4. Vivians top-down raglan babysweater i dobbelt garn.
5. en strikket/filtet taske til Taskebyt.
6. et hæklet stribet restetæppe.
-The six projects are:
1. my blanket from crocheted squares, not shown here.
2. crocheted vest in cotton, from Marianne´s crochet-along pattern.
3. patterned babysweater from Vivian´s top-down raglan pattern.
4. Vivian´s top-down raglan babysweater in double yarn.
5. a knitted/felted bag for the Bagswap.
6. a crocheted striped leftover-blanket.
-Nr.1+6, begge tæpper er tænkt som lang-tids projekter og bliver lagt væk en stund.
Nr. 2, den hæklede vest er færdig, billeder næste gang.
Nr.5, tasken, er strikket og valket, mangler pynt.
Nr.3+4, begge babytröjer, er godt undervejs og skulle gerne være færdige næste weekend.
-Nr.1+6, both blankets are meant as long-term projects and will be laid aside for a while.
Nr.2, the crocheted vest is done, pictures next time.
Nr.5, the bag, is knitted and felted, lacks embellishments.
Nr.3+4, both babysweaters, well on their way and will hopefully be done next weekend.
Ufokuseret roderi / Unfocused mess
-Something has happened, I really don´t know what. I really don´t like any form of mess, I want things to be organized, many people would say I´m a little square. As for my crafting it works best for me if I´m working on no more than 2-3 projects at the same time and I´ve never had UFO´s, either things get finished or they get ripped right away. But now something has happened. Suddenly I have 6 whole projects going on and I´m going from one to the other and I feel that nothing is coming out of it. I don´t like it, I get the feeling that I don´t have any control over things. So now, enough of this mess! This afternoon when I get home from work I´m going to sit down and figure out a system so I can get through this and gain a little overview of it all. Report will follow tomorrow.

Hvad laver jeg nu? / What am I doing now?


-Mit tæppe skrider fremad. Der er nu 15 firkanter og jeg har regnet ud at jeg behöver mindst 35, helst 42, så der er lang vej endnu. Jeg tænkte en lille stund på at det kunne blive en gave til min bror når han fylder 40 i næste måned. Men jeg tror det bliver for stresset, så han får det i stedet for som julegave.
-My blanket is moving forward. There are now 15 squares and I´ve figured out that I need at least 35, preferably 42, so there´s a long way to go. I thought for a brief moment that it could be a birthday gift for my brother when he´ll be 40 next month. But I think that will be too stressful, so now I´m aiming for it to be his Christmas gift instead.

-Jeg har også meldt mig til Marianne´s hækle-along. Dette er förste del, jeg er spændt på hvordan det kommer at se ud.
-I´ve also signed up for Marianne´s crochet-along. This is the first part, I´m excited to see how it will end up looking.

Nogle ting er på gang / A few things are on their way
-Indimellem hækler jeg så tæppefirkanter af det garn jeg vil af med. Der er diverse rester og det jeg stöder på undervejs når jeg gennemgår lageret.
-In between I´m crocheting blanket squares from yarn I want to get rid of. There´s various left-overs and stuff I stumble across when going through the stash.

Færdig dukke og vinteren er tilbage / Finished doll and the winter is back
-Vanda´s doll is done, knitted from leftover sockyarn and filled with polyester stuffing. I think she liked it.


-Dukken betyder +25gram til forbruget, så = 2.972gram ialt.
-The doll means +25grams to using up stash, so = 2.972grams total.
-For en uge siden troede jeg foråret var her, men se nu lige her....
-A week ago I thought spring was here, but look here...


-Jeg har nu i to dage kæmpet med at publisere dette indlæg
det har nu holdt op med at sne, og nu har vi frostgrader og solskin, faktisk ret dejligt!
-I´ve now struggled for two days to upload this post, it has now stopped snowing and we have frost degrees and sunshine, actually quite nice!

FO, en börnetröje / FO, a kiddy sweater

-I´ve finished a sweater for my little niece´s 4th birthday present. It´s knitted with needles US6 with double yarn, 1 ply solid red Adriafil Genziane (100% superwash merino) and 1 ply sockyarn. I used up one ball multicoloured Regia in red/pink/orange colours and for the lower part of the sweater I used most of a ball of orange Opal Uni. It weighs 318 grams, so in all used 2.947 grams, almost 3 kilos!

En doven söndag morgen / A lazy sunday morning
-The perfect sunday morning, I slept late and have been sitting here surfing the net and knitting a little. Later today we´re going to a kids´ birthday party in the family. It´s now almost two o´clock and I´m not even dressed yet!

-Jeg har fået lavet to mere af de fine hagesmække, disse to kommer i min egen kökkenskuffe, til når Vanda Sólrún kommer på besög hos mormor. De er strikket på pinde 3,25mm i dobbelt garn, noget ældgammelt bouclé bomuld fra gemmerne og de vejer sammenlagt 63gram, så er forbruget oppe på 2.629 gram.
-I´ve made two more of the fine bibs, these will be in my own kitchen-drawer for when Vanda Sólrún comes to visit grandma. They are knitted on needles US4 with double yarn from some very old bouclé cotton from stash and they weigh 63grams together, so total usage is up to 2.629grams.
