Pletskud! / Spot on

Jeg er faktisk startet på nevøens trøje. Den er (indtil videre) supersjov at strikke! Festligt koncept, at starte i midten og arbejde sig udad. Garnet er også totalt for lækkert. Det røde og hvide er supersoft fra lageret. Det marine (man kan næsten ikke se det) til kroppen er fra Hr. Weller (og det er blødt), men den yderste ring i målskiven manglede jeg. Den skulle være mørkere end bundfarven, synes jeg, men jeg havde ikke lige garnet.
Derfor smuttede jeg forbi Jorungarn i går (har jeg nævnt bordet med supersoft en gang eller to før?) og fandt både lidt mørkeblåt og lidt sort. Så langt, så godt!
Men tænk - nok så lusket har de Hjerte "Roma" med 40% rabat. Og - OM det er blødt! Så der blev også lige købt ind til en trøje til min mindste nevø i februar. Han skal have "Fyrtøjet", kan jeg så godt lige røbe! Forkert garn, forkert pindetykkelse, men jeg finder nok ud af det....
Så lige nu glæder jeg mig over at jeg ikke havde et nytårsforsæt der hed "ingen garnkøb"!

I actually began knitting the sweater for my nephew. It is really fun to knit - at least this far! Great concept, casting on in the centre and working outwards. The yarn is totally yummy, too. The read and white is supersoft wool from my stash. The dark blue (you can hardly see the colour difference) for the main colour was bought at Mr. Weller's shop (it is so soft), but I still needed something for the outer ring of the target. I wanted it to be darker than the main colour, but didn't find it in the stash.
So I visited Jorungarn on the way home yesterday (did I ever mention the large table filled with "supersoft"?) and found not only a bit of dark blue, but also a little black. So far, so good!
But - would you know! - without thinking of the poor costumers who shouldn't buy yarn in January, there was "Roma" on a 40% sale. Cotton and acrylics, and sooooo soft. So I "happened" to buy some for a sweater for my youngest nephew in February. It is going to be "Fyrtøjet". Wrong yarn, wrong needlesize, but I'll work it out.
Right now I am just happy I didn't decide on a New Years resolution called "no more yarn-buying in 2011"!
