Længe siden

Endnu en gang er der gået længe siden sidste opdatering. Jeg har været syg. Har haft blodansamling i ryggen og influenza - hmm dårlig kombination. Op til weekenden fik jeg denne skønne hyggepakke.

Once again several days have passed since my last update. I have been sick. I have had problems with my back and the flue as well - hmm, bad combo! Before the weekend I got this package, everything I need to snuggle up in the sofa!

Og noget af det har allerede været i brug. Strikkede denne hue af Grignasco Jazz med striber i forskellige mohair rester og noget glimmer garn. Opskriften er fra bogen "Strik på pind nr. 10". Blomsten har jeg selv tilføjet.



Some of it has already been put to use. I knitted this cap of the Grignasco Jazz yarn with stribes made of leftover mohair. The model is from the book "Strik på pind nr. 10". I added the flower my self.

Jeg har også lavet dette halstørklæde til en kollega. Jeg er sikkerpå han bliver glad for det - han cykler på arbejde hver dag. Så alt i alt hae jeg lettet garnkurven for 250 gram de sidste par dage. Har også færdiggjort en masse syting, men det skal gives væk i julegave til folk der kigger indenom denne side ind imellem, så I må have billederne til gode til efter jul.

I also finished this scarf for a colleague of mine. I am sure he will love it since he rides his bike to work everyday. All in all I used 250 g. of yarn from my stash these last days. I always finished several sewing projects, but since they are all for X-mas present to people who regularly visit this page, I can't show you any photos until after X-mas.

Halstørklæde - Scarf

Endelig er jeg færdig med et af mine juleprojekter. Halstørklædet er efter en Garnstudio model. Skal helt sikkert have et selv, men måske i grønne farver.


I finally finished one of my Christmas projects. The scarf is a Garnstudio model. Am definitely making one more for myself - green maybe!

Long time -no blogging!

Det er ikke blevet til så meget med bloggen i denne uge. Jeg har haft travlt - og ikke med at strikke. Har ingen færdige projekter at fremvise. Til gengæld har vi lavet juledekorationer og konfekt her i weekenden. Min datter på 3 har helt selv lavet dekorationen.
Not much blogging this week, because I have been busy, busy, busy - and not knitting. Have no finished projects to flash. We have however made x-mas decorations and chocolate goodies this weekend. My 3 year old daughter made this decoration all by herself.

Her er et par billeder af vores meget lækre konfekt. Både bedstemor og morfar hjalp til.

Here is a couple of pictures of our very delicious chocolate goodies. Even grandma and grandpa helped out.

Et par gavemærker blev det også til her til aften. Håber jeg får mere tid til at strikke den kommende uge - julen nærmer sig !
I did get around to make these gift tags. Hope I will get more time to knit this coming week - x-mas is approaching!

Stash minimizer - Lager nedbrud

Efter at have set alt mit garn samlet i en flot bunke. Har jeg besluttet at forsøge at nedbryde mit lager. Øverst på siden kan I følge udviklingen. Jeg blev inspireret af www.strikketanten.blogspot.com - super god ide!

After having seen my complete stash of yarn, i have decided to try and minimize my stash. At the top of my page you can see how I'm doing. I was inspired by www.strikketanten.blogspot.com - Excellent idea!

Warmers for eggs and ears

Bogen "Strik til boligen" af Lene Ostenfeldt gav mig denne ide til at bruge garnrester - æggevarmere som strikhuer. Jeg lader den tale for sig selv!

The book "Strik til boligen" by Lene Ostenfeldt gave me this idea for using all my leftover yarn - eggwarmers. I'm gonna let them speak for themselves!

Og så er jeg færdig med endnu en mormorhue og en sød hue med pels til piger. Der er stadig mange julegaver som skal gøres færdige - pindene gløder!

I just finished yet another grandma cap and a cap with faux fur for girls. Still a lot of x-mas presents to finish - my sticks are on fire!

Stick holders

Alle mine rundpinde ligger altid filtret sammen i bunden af strikkekurven. Et værre rod! Idag har jeg lavet disse holdere til rundpinde. Indtil videre har jeg kun lavet to, men når jeg har en stak, skal de stå i en lækker æske.

All my circular knitting sticks allways lay in a bundle in the bottom of my yarn basket. I never know what size is which. So today I came up with this design for holders - I think they're neat. So far I have only made two, but once I have a bunch I will keep them all aligned in a pretty box.

Gift tags

Today I started making gift tags for x-mas - I was very inspired by the x-mas decorations made by "Den Gode Feen". I just love her decor.

Flash my stash

Decided to flash my yarn stash. Only disadvantage is that now my husband knows how big it really is - I am gonna have to smugle yarn in through the cellar window!

Grandma caps

Jeg har strikket en del af disse "mormor huer" til vinteren. De er et kæmpe hit her i København. Nu er jeg ved at være lidt træt af at strikke dem, men har 4 bestillinger endnu!


I have been knitting loads of these grandma caps "mormor huer" this winter. They are a huge hit here in Copenhagen. Getting kind of bored with them, but I still have orders for 4 more!

Poster

My husband just surprised my with this poster he had made for my page. Our daughter is posing as Thumbalina (Tommelise). I wanted to place it on my sidebar, but as you know, I am new to this!!

Sale and sweater

Today I passed by a store that had sale and I got all this yarn and beautiful beads for a fraction of the price. I already have some great ideas for putting it to use, but you'll have to wait and see!


I also stumbled over this cloth fabric - might use it for x-mas presents.
And just ten minutes ago I finished this cardigan for my daughter.

Current projects

I am currently working on several projects ment for X-mas presents. Just yesterday I finished this poncho. The second project is a scarf for a friend in Paris. It's made of Alpaca and mohair. Might have to make one more for myself:-)

A blogger newbie

Det er jo første jeg blogger, så tilgiv mig hvis mon blog endnu er lidt er kedelig - jeg arbejder på det! Indtil videre vil jeg lige vise Jer noget stof jeg købte i dag. Kan ikke vente med at få symaskinen frem!

This is my first time ever blogging. So forgive me if my blog looks a bit boring - I am working on the design still. Meanwhile I wanted to show you a sample of some fabrics I picked up today. Can't wait to bring out the sewing machine!
