Noget strikket! / Something knitted!

Som min niece så tørt bemærkede i tirsdags, så er det da ikke lige strikketøj, der har fyldt denne strikkeblog mest..... (Lige inden hun vendte sig væk fordi vi nåede til billedet af edderkoppen!)
Det må jeg selvfølgelig rette op på, så her er et billede af lidt færdigt. Til selvsamme niece. Et halsrør!

As my niece very dryly commented this Tuesday, most posts on this knitting blog is not exactly related to knitting...... (Just moments later she had to turn away because we found the spider photo!)
I have to do something about this problem, so here comes a picture of something finished. For the very niece. A cowl!

Det er en "Turbulence cowl", fundet på Ravelry. Den var rigtig, rigtig sjov at strikke i vendestrik, og det gik rimeligt hurtigt. Den er meget bestemt blevet bestilt i bomuld, så jeg har strikket i ganske almindeligt bomuld nr. 8 på pind 3,5 mm, hvilket betød at jeg lige måtte ændre lidt i mønsteret der er til pind 5.
I stedet for 100 masker slog jeg 120 masker op og strikkede hver "bølge" over 30 masker i stedet for 25. Den er blevet god, synes jeg, og modtageren er tilfreds. I virkelighedens skarpe lys er den rigtig turkis og lilla, men det må I gætte jer til..... 50 gram garn gik der til den.

It is a "Turbulence cowl", found on Ravelry. It was really fun to knit with wrap-and-turns, and was quite fast, too.  I was clearly informed that it should be made from cotton, so I used plain, thin cotton, knitting on 3.5 mm needles. Since the pattern called for worsted weight yarn and 5 mm needles, I had to change it a little.
I cast on 120 stitches instead of 100, and made each "wave" over 30 stitches instead of 25. I think it turned out fine, and the recipient is happy. In the clear light of reality it is very brightly turquoise and purple, but you will have to guess the colors...... I used a total of 50 grams of yarn.
