Solo

Et par strømper mere blev ret hurtigt færdige. Faktisk slog jeg ret hurtigt min egen rekord og strikkede disse på bare 4 dage! Det var så også nødvendigt. Min niece skal spille fløjtesolo med Aalborg symfoni-orkester i aften - den første rigtig store i hendes liv! - og jeg syntes da, hun skulle have en lille gave..... (Hun er helt tosset med strømper)
Derfor strikkede jeg på livet løs et par Cookie A. strømper (de hedder Thelonious fra bogen Knit.Sock.Love), der var nemme og sjove at lave. Med en lille hulmønsterbort, der snor sig ned ad strømpen.
Garnet er - ja - wollmeise, i farven WD "Ahoi!", 100 gram ialt. Strikket med knitpicks strømpepinde (som jeg elsker!) str. 2,5 mm.
Det er nu anden gang, jeg bliver positivt overrasket over et nemt og hurtigt Cookie A. mønster - måske kommer der flere?
Nå ja, forresten. Da strømperne var færdige, så slog jeg da masker op til et par mere. Godt nok i rib, men strømpevirussen lever vist også godt i år.


Another pair of socks finished rather quickly. Actually, I beat my own record and made these in just 4 days! It was necessary to be fast, though. My niece is playing her flute solo with a symphonic orchestra tonight - her first big solo thing - and I wanted to make her a little gift.... (She is crazy about socks!)
So I knitted like the wind and made a pair of Cookie A. socks (called Thelonious from the book Knit.Sock.Love), easy and fun to make. With a tiny lace pattern, winding its way down the sock.
The yarn? Well - yes - it's wollmeise, the color WD "Ahoi!", I used 100 grams. Made with knitpicks DPN (which I love!), size 2.5 mm.
This is the second time I'm very positively surprised about the speed and ease of a Cookie A. pattern. Maybe there will be more?
And - by the way - after finishing these socks, I immediately cast on for another pair. Ribbing this time, but I still think the sock-virus is alive and kicking in 2012 as well!
