Hamster cirkus

Niecen har fået ny hamster. Den hedder Plet og er rigtig nuttet! Jeg skulle selvfølgelig se det lille vidunder, men beklager den forringede billedkvalitet. Hamstere er ret svære at få til at sidde stille.....
Plet havde lige et flot trick oppe i ærmet..... Øh. Kindposen. Der kunne være imponerende mange stykker valnød!

My niece had a new hamster. It's called Plet (Spot) and is really cute! Of course I had to visit to see the little cutie, but I have to apologize about the poor quality of my photos. It's really hard to make a hamster sit very still!
Spot new a really nice trick. He can have an incredible amount of nuts in his cheek pouches!

Min mindste nevø kom åbenbart i tanker om, at det var meeeget længe siden han havde set mig strikke og kom anstigende med de dér tynde træ-grillspyd og noget sytråd og ville lære at strikke.
Som om! I stedet fik jeg det lille, hurtige projekt, der gav øjeblikkelig glæde, da vi i stedet fandt strømpegarn og fik startet et "hamster-tæppe". Der altså er strikket på grillspyd. Vel ca. pind 3, tænker jeg!

My youngest nephew seemed to remember that he hadn't seen me knitting for a long time and presented me with those thin, wooden kebab-sticks and some sewing thread and asked me to teach him how to knit.
As if! Instead I was lucky to have the little, quick project bringing instant joy, when we found some sock yarn and started a "hamster-blanket". Made on wooden kebab-sticks. I guess it's like 3 mm needles.

Her ses den lykkelige hamster så i sit tæppe. Den fik så sit eget cirkus-"nummer", hvor den kravlede igennem den strikkede ring af flammende - uld!

And here you see the happy hamster in her blanket. She now has her very own circus-"trick", crawling through the knitted ring of flaming - wool!
