Det sorte hul / The black hole

Det går langsomt fremad med omelet-sjalet. Der er forfærdeligt mange masker på pinden nu, og jeg må indrømme, at der vist også er et par småfejl. Silke og alpaca er glat, og smutter der en maske af pinden redder jeg det efter bedste evne, men jeg orker ikke at strikke 2-3 pinde baglæns og gøre det helt perfekt. Det sker udfra min erfaring at ingen kan se det alligevel hvis jeg bare får det ordnet rimeligt........ Sikkert en direkte glidebane til et eller andet slemt! Jeg vil være så frimodig at kalde det kreative fortolkninger af mønsteret istedet for fejl.
Sjalet bør meget snart blive færdigt, da jeg skal strikke et til. Så jeg prøver at tage en pind mere!
Jeg går iøvrigt og pønser på en lille nu-er-det-snart-jul give-away. Mere i morgen.

The omelet shawl is slowly growing. A row holds a horrible number of stitches now, and I might as well admit that there are some small mistakes. Silk and alpaca is very, very slippery, and if a stitch falls off, I do my very best at saving the pattern, but I really don't have the energy and patience to tink (knit backwards) for 2-3 rows and correct everything perfectly. I do this with some confidence since my experience is that no-one will notice it anyway if I just give it my best shot...... This is probably the beginning of something very, very bad to happen to a knitter who won't do her very best! I even insist on calling it my creative interpretation of the pattern instead of mistakes.
The shawl really needs to finish very soon, since I need to make another one. So I constantly remind myself of knitting just one more row!
By the way - I have a little Christmas-is-just-around-the-corner give-away coming up. You will here about it tomorrow!
