Hexagon!!!!!!

Min Hexagon-bluse er BÅDE færdig og tør nu. Dermed er den noget dejligere og varmere at tage på end i går aftes, hvor den stadig var lidt våd, men hvor jeg lige skulle prøve den lidt......
Bortset fra at den er strikket på pind 3 i tyndt garn, hvilket ikke kan andet end tage ufattelig lang tid fordi der er så mange masker, så har den bare været rigtig sjov at strikke. Hexagon er konstrueret ud fra 2 sekskanter, det eneste mål du skal bruge er ønsket brystvidde, og så giver resten faktisk sig selv. Garntykkelse og pindestørrelse vælger du helt selv.

My Hexagon-blouse is not only finished, but ALSO dry now! Which means it is a lot nicer and warmer to wear compared to last night, when I really wanted to try it on, even though it was still a little wet......
Apart from the fact that I made it on 3 mm needles in thin yarn, which automatically meant it would take like forever to knit al those stitches, it has been a really, really fun knitting project. Hexagon has a construction based on 2 hexagons. You only need to know what the chest-width should be, and then the rest of the sweater follows. You pick whatever yarn thickness and needle-size you want.

Den er strikket i wollmeise lace garn, dels i den mørkegrønne "WD Pesto", dels med lidt lysere grøn kontrast ved kanterne, "WD Schwefel". Den er rigeligt stor, vil jeg sige, så måske kunne jeg godt have lavet en bluse med bare 1 bundt lacegarn, hvis den havde været lidt mindre. Men hellere lidt for stor end lidt for lille!
Ialt har jeg brugt 380 gram garn, heraf 30 gram af den lysegrønne til belægninger. Dermed er årets wollmeise-forbrug oppe på hele 3240 gram, og som jeg nævnte i går, har jeg allerede bestilt mere wollmeise-garn fordi jeg er nået over 3 kg.

It is made in wollmeise lace yarn, mostly the dark green "WD Pesto", partly with a lighter green for the edges, "WD Schwefel". It is a bit large, so if I would, I guess I could have made it with just one skein of lace, if I had made it slightly smaller. But I prefer a bit looser to a bit tighter!
I used a total of 380 grams of yarn, 350 grams of the darker green, 30 grams of the lighter green. And so I've used a total of 3240 grams of wollmeise this year! As I mentioned yesterday, already I order some more wollmeise, since I've passed 3 kilo's.

Her har I den fra ryggen, ude i snevejret. Man kan jo godt se, at det ene ærme er lidt anderledes i farven, men det kan jeg vist godt leve med.
Jeg kan rigtig godt lide de små slidser i siderne og det, at maskerne hele tiden vender en ny vej. Det giver et sjovt farvespil, fordi man godt kan se små forskelle i farvenuancerne, alt efter hvad vej maskerne er strikket.
Jeg har SÅ meget lyst til at strikke flere Hexagon-bluser! Men nu må jeg hellere lige først blive færdig med de ting, der ikke kan vente.

Here it is from the back, outside in the snow. You can see that one of the sleeves has a different color, since it was made from another skein of yarn, but that is okay with me.
I really like this sweater! I like the bottom slits at the sides and I love the way the stitches turn another way constantly. It gives a nice effect with slightly different colors depending on how the light falls, since the front and back are knitted in 6 directions at once.
I really want to knit some more Hexagons! But right now I'd better finish the things that can't wait.
