Ny og ekstra / New and extra

Min svogers julegave blev færdig sent i aftes. Lige i rette tid til at blive vasket, overnatte på radiatoren og i dag blive pakket ind og afleveret med de andre julegaver.
De er lavet i 145 gram Wollmeise strømpegarn (Mohn in 7. Haus).
Mønsteret kan du finde her (Ravelry).
Det er nogle feeeeeede strømper. Mønsteret gør godt nok, at de nogle steder er lidt stramme ved skaftet, men jeg kan passe dem, og det tror jeg også han kan.
Snoningerne er rigtig flotte, og jeg er faktisk så glad for resultatet, at jeg også skal strikke nogle til mig selv, tror jeg!
Min kære yndlingssvoger (min eneste) ønskede sig "nye og ekstra" strømper og forklarede straks, at det betød TO par. (Som om!) Så den ene strømper er derfor ny, den anden ekstra!
Farven er sådan, at min søster vist også giver ham lov til at bruge dem? (Ikke for meget lilla)

I finished the present for my brother-in-law late last night. Right in time for wash, drying overnight and wrapping up for delivery this morning.
Made from 145 grams of Wollmeise yarn (Mohn in 7. Haus).
I found the pattern here on Ravelry.
The socks are way cool. Due to all the cables they are a bit tight on the legs in a few places, but they fit me, and I guess they will fit him as well.
The cables are really pretty, and I actually like them so much that I want to make some for me as well!
My dear favorite brother-in-law (the only one) asked for "New and extra socks" for Christmas, and immediately explaned that he ment TWO pairs. New and extra. (As if!)
That is the reason why one sock is called new, the other extra....
The colour's are okay for my sister to let him wear them in public, I think. Not too much purple!
