Huen / The hat

Min nevø, min søsters ældste, blev konfirmeret i går. Det var sådan en hyggelig og dejlig dag!
Jeg holdt tale for ham. Det gør jeg altid for dem. Han har dreadlocks (som han er meget glad for) og prøvede på et tidspunkt min hue jeg strikkede i januar. Sådan en ville han også gerne have. For de der lange strimler på toppen kunne minde lidt om dreadlocks.

My nephew, my sister's oldest, had his confirmation yesterday. It was such a nice and wonderful day!
I held a speech for him. I always do for my nephews and nieces. He has dreadlocks (which he loves very much), and at some point he tried on my hat that I made in January. He wanted one of those. Because the long strings on top looked a bit like his hair.

Så det skulle han da have! Derfor har jeg siddet i solen i Frederiksberg Have i løbet af uge og strikket i uld som en gal, mens alle andre solede sig og drak hvidvin. Måske kan jeg blive et samtale-objekt ligesom hejre-manden?
Det er (selvfølgelig) endnu en asparges-hue, bare med længere strimler på toppen. Strikket i diverse uld- og alpaca-garner fra alle mulige andre projekter. Dejlig blød og varm.

Of course he needed to have one of those! So there I sat in the sun in Frederiksberg Gardens during this week, knitting with wool like a maniac, while everyone else enjoyed the sun, drinking white-wine. Maybe they will talk about me like the talk about the heron-guy?
It's (obviously) another asparagus-hat, only with longer cords on top. Made with wool- and alpaca-yarn from other projects. Really soft and warm.

Han blev glad! Gik med den i solen ned på stranden, da vi skulle have isvafler til dessert. Den bliver sikkert også god at have i de kolde vintre i Michigan.......
Fakta? Strikket på pind 4 efter den næst-mindste størrelse. 125 gram garn. (Se, DET er tung strik!)

He was happy! Wore it when we went for ice cream (our dessert) on the beach. It will be good during the cold Michigan winters......
Facts? Made with 125 grams of yarn, using 4 mm needles and the second size. (Now, THAT is heavy knitting!)
