Baby-jeans

De bittesmå jeans blev syet sammen i går aftes, hvor jeg bare sad i sofaen og hyggede mig hele aftenen. Og så TV! (Uh - det var dejligt!)

The teeny-tiny jeans were finished last night, when I spent the evening on my couch, enjoying myself. Watching TV! (I liked it!)

De er strikket af HP "Jeans", som er ren bomuld, der er denim-farvet, dvs. de er farvet ligesom jeans, så de falmer lidt med tiden (og garnet smitter helt vildt af! Mine fingre blev totalt blå af at strikke....). Det var rester jeg havde fra nogle andre jeans, så jeg strikkede den mindste størrelse for at have nok, og lavede ombukket foroven lyseblåt på indersiden. Ialt har jeg brugt 75 gram garn.

They are made in HP "Jeans", a 100% cotton yarn that is denim-colored, meaning it's colored the same way as jeans, making it fade a little over time (and making the yarn ooze color! My fingers were completely blue from knitting....). I made them with leftover yarn from another pair of jeans, and made the smallest size to make sure I had enough. I used a total of 75 grams.

De er virkelig små! Sidste gang, jeg strikkede i den størrelse (til min søsters børns lille kusine), var jeg helt flov over at give dem væk, for hvordan skulle man proppe en baby i dem? Jeg fik dog at vide, at de passede hende fint, så derfor prøver jeg igen. Og min gode, gamle bamse Ulla kan jo godt passe dem, så måske går det?
Ellers må jeg næsten strikke et par mere i en lidt større størrelse. For det er et faktum, at disse bukser er ET HIT!!!! Alle dem jeg har strikket, er modtaget med kyshånd, og jeg tør næsten godt sige, at du vil blive meget populær, hvis du strikker dem til en lille trold i omgangskredsen. Opskriften er denne her, og det tager ikke lang tid.

They are really tiny! Last time I made them in the smallest size (for the newborn cousin of my sisters kids), I was almost embarrassed to give them as a gift, because how would a baby fit in them? I was told they fit very nicely, so that's why I'm trying again. And, as you see, my good (very) old teddybear "Ulla" looks good in them, so I hope it will work out!
Otherwise I'll just have to knit another pair in a larger size. It's a fact that these jeans are HOT! Every pair I made were welcomed and I dare say that you will become extremely popular if you make a pair for a small one you know. The pattern is this one, and they don't take long to finish.
