Jeg har haft gevaldige problemer med at finde min strikke-mojo på det sidste, så nu er jeg gået til yderlighederne. Lokkemad!!! Noget måtte gøres, så nu har jeg lusket rundt i diverse garnbikser og snuset og set og følt og indkøbt (bare en smule).
Det er blevet til et køb af en Mini til min kusines kommende bebs (… babystrikketøj, det må være vejen frem, det er jo så småt) og noget skønt Drops alpaca i endnu skønnere farver, som jeg lurer på skal være et par luffer. Endelig har skønne Mie sendt en syndig omgang fristelser (hvor er det dog skønt at være holdt designer), som bl.a. skal blive til endnu en Tane’s Leaves (teststrikning af opskriften).
Fælden er sat. Mon min mojo lader sig friste?
I have had a lot of trouble locating my knitting mojo recently, so now I’m readying the big guns. Bait!!! Something clearly had to be done, which resulted in me oozing through a LYS (or two) seeing, feeling and buying (just a tad).
So far I’ve invested in a Mini for my cousin’s little baby, who will be joining the world in June (… baby clothes, that has to be a solution, after all it is tiny), and some gorgeous Drops Alpaca in the most wonderful colours that seems to be wanting to be a couple of mittens. Finaly the great and wonderful Mie has sent a delightful parcel full of knitting goodies (it is good to be a kept designer), some of it will become another Tane’s Leaves (as I have to test-knit the pattern).
The trap is set, bait laid out. Will my mojo be tempted?
Der er sket noget stort!!! Jeg er nu “officielt” designer, for nu er det første af mine designs sat til salg. Og det synes jeg alligevel skulle markeres her på bloggen.
I kan finde Efeu som kit hos Nusse&Nøkle. Garnet er det ultralækre Organik, som er en blanding af uld, alpaca og silke – ren luksus. Lige nu udbydes opskriften kun på dansk, men jeg arbejder på en oversættelse til engelsk.
Something big (at least it’s big in my world) has happened!!! I am now “officially” a designer as my first design has just hit the store. I really thought that this at least deserved a notice on the blog.
You can buy Efeu as at Nusse&Nørkle as a kit. The yarn is the super delicious Organik, which is a blend of wool, alpaca and silk – pure goodness. For now, the pattern is only available in Danish, but I am working on an English translation.
Ja, det er ikke dansen, som SissorSisters ellers ville sige, men faktisk strikning, hvor mærkeligt det end lyder. Jeg har ikke haft gang i strikkepindene i mange dage og har egentlig ikke noget behov for at gå i gang igen – i hvert fald ikke lige nu. Jeg tror simpelthen, at jeg har fået strikke-overload… hvis man kan have det? En bidragende effekt er nu nok, at semesteret og dermed studiet er gået i gang igen…Men men men, livet er ikke blevet fuldstændig fiberløst endnu. Jeg har spundet lidt og har færdiggjort 150 m ufatteligt lækkert garn i en blanding af merino og silke, som jeg tror en gang skal blive til håndledsvarmere til migselv (når jeg altså lige får lyst til at strikke igen). Derudover har jeg “opfluffet” en portion silke, som jeg købte hos Bente B, da jeg var på spinde-master-class hos hende. Den ligger nu og frister og byder sig generelt til, men jeg ved ikke helt om det er den, jeg skal kaste mig over…
Actually it’s not dancing I don’t feel like (though that would be what the SissorSisters would say), but incredebly knitting! I haven’t knitted for days and weeks, and I actually don’t miss it. Maybe I’ve just fallen victim of knitting-overload, if that can happen? A contributing cause might be that the semester and thus the study has started again…But life hasn’t turned completely fiber-emty yet. I have been spinning a bit and have just finished 150 m of gorgeous merino/silk yarn, that I think will be perfect for a pair of fingerless mitts for me (that is, when I feel like knitting again). Besides that, I have a wonderful little heap of newly “fluffled” silk sitting and calling for me. I bought it when I visited Bente B for a spinning master-class, and I can’t really decide whether it will be the next on the wheel…
Alt i dag minder mig om New Zealand. Roen i mit indre, måden lyset falder på, blæstens susen og selv trafikken på Nørrebrogade (hvilket egentlig er meget mærkeligt)… måske jeg bare savner at være der?
Everything reminds me of New Zealand today. The calmness in my soul, the way the light cuts through the skies, the sound of the wind, and even the trafic on Nørrebrogade (which is really strange actually)… maybe I just miss being there?
