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!

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!
