Indlæg nr. 1000! / Post 1000!

Så er dagen kommet - mine hemmelige projekter ude af skabet. De er til jer!
Anledningen for denne lille give-away er, at jeg nu har ævlet løs om strik og andre mærkværdigheder i mange, mange indlæg. I dag er det nummer 1000! Det skal selvfølgelig fejres.....
Så - mens I nyder billederne, kan jeg lige fortælle jer lidt om min blog her.
Det er jo mit lille "nørderi" - hvor jeg skriver side op og side ned om garn og strikning og alle de andre ting der i tide og utide dukker op i min - ret selvkørende - hjerne. Herinde hører I om alt det, de fleste af mine venner ret hurtigt bliver trætte af at høre om (ikke strikkenørderne, selvfølgelig). Det er en superhyggelig del af mit liv, og det mest fantastiske har jo været at lære en del af jer at kende i det virkelige liv!
Min blog var i ret lang tid en meget hemmelig del af mit liv. De mest ihærdige af mine venner fik lokket adressen ud af mig, men med besvær. En vis begivenhed ændrede dette big-time. Mere om det....

Today is the day! My secret knitting projects are ready to show and tell - they are for you!
The reason for this give-away is that I have been going on and on about knitting and curiosities for many, many posts here on this blog. Today is number 1000! Time to celebrate...
So - while you enjoy the photos, let me tell you a little about this blog of mine.
This is my tiny "nerdery" - I write page after page about yarn and knitting and all the other weird things that turn up (and down) in my - rather independent - brain. This is the place to read about all the stuff that most of my friends would be bored to hear (not the knitters!). It is a great part of my life, and it has been really amazing to get to know quite a few of you in real life!
For a long time, this blog was a very secret part of my life. A few of my most determined friends got the adress from me, but with difficulty. A certain event changed this. More about that shortly...
Min blog kom virkelig ud af skabet med hue-indsamlingen til Cuba (min kollega har lovet at hoste op med billeder meget snart!), og det allermest populære indlæg nogensinde er da også 1000 huer, vist næsten 5500 gange! Derefter kommer opskrifterne på CPAP-huer, opad og sidelæns, så SvampeBob Firkant (HVOR kom han lige fra?) og som nr. 5 "En dyr giv-det-videre konkurrence".
Nogle gange føles det faktisk, som om bloggen lever sit helt eget liv.......
Jeg kan godt lide at skrive lidt hver dag. Også selv om jeg egentlig ikke har tid, og derfor en del gange skriver indlæg aftenen før. Ting som "Mærkelig mandag" og "Ordløs onsdag" holder jeg stædigt fast ved. Synes egentlig, det er sjovt med lidt variation!

My blog really came out of the closet due to the Cuba-hat-thing (my colleague solemnly sweared to mail me photos very soon!) and the most popular post (by far) ever was 1000 hats, shown almost 5500 times! Almost as popular were the Danish patterns for CPAP hats, upwards and sideways, then the SpongeBob Squarepants hat for my nephew (how did SpongeBob turn up here?) and number 5 was a contest for knitting santa hats and blankets for the neonatal ward.
Sometimes it feels like the blog has a life of its own.....
I enjoy writing a little everyday. Often in spite of the fact that I don't really have time for it and often has to write the post in advance the night before. I stubbonly stick to things like "Mærkelig mandag" (Weird Monday) and "Ordløs onsdag" (Wordless Wednesday). I like the variation!
Nå. Tilbage til min give-away. Hvis du har læst videre helt herned (og derfor må være en af mine trofaste læsere!), så har du nu chancen for at vinde én af de 3 præmier.
Først er der et penalhus i Kauni. Strikket i vævestrik med hæklede blomster på og stof-for. (Jeg har fået at vide, at visse personer faktisk synes det er flottere end mit eget...)
Dernæst et par grydelapper, strikket efter dette mønster. Man skal vist være strikkenørd for at kunne nyde mønsteret fuldt ud, men som grydelapper er de perfekte. Strikket i bomuld og dejligt tykke og isolerende.
Til sidst kan man så vinde noget, jeg ikke selv har lavet. Dejlige lakridser, købt i Malmö. Uhm - de er gode!
Hvad du skal gøre? Læg en kommentar herunder, senest d. 21. maj. Så trækker jeg lod (på et tidspunkt) næste søndag.

Well - back to the give-away. If you are still reading (you must be one of my faithful readers, still hanging on!), you have the chance of winning one of the 3 prizes.
First I made a pencilcase in Kauni. Made in a stranded pattern with sewn on crocheted flowers and a nice lining (I was told by certain persons that they prefer this to my own pencilcase...)
Second a pair of potholders, made using this pattern. I guess you enjoy the pattern more if you're a hardcore knitting Nerd, but they work excellent as pot holders whether you like them or not. Made with cotton, and really nice and thick.
Third prize is something I didn't make myself. Wonderful liquirice, bought in Malmö. Yum - they are good, and I guarantee you like them, even if you're not Scandinavian. They're not very strong.
How to participate? Place a comment below, you have until May 21st. At some time next Sunday I will find the winners.
