Tempelblomst 2

I foråret skete der noget. Min tempelblomst blev færdig (jeg glæder mig til at bruge den igen!) og min søster kunne lide den! Så godt, at hun lige siden brændende har ønsket sig en magen til.
"Der er jo KOLDT i Michigan!"
Derfor er jeg nu for første gang i ca. 20 år i gang med at strikke noget til min søster, der ikke er strømper eller tørklæde.
Det bliver en rigtig dejlig udgave i Rowan felted tweed og 2 lace-garner: Dels Madelinetosh Prairie, dels Fyberspates Scrumptious lace.

This spring, something happened. My temple-flower was finished (and I can't wait to start using it again!) and my sister liked it! So much, that ever since, she has been longing for one herself.
"It's COLD in Michigan, you know!"
So that's why, for the first time in about 20 years, I've started knitting something for my sister, which is not socks or scarfs.
It will be a very nice one made with Rowan Felted tweed and 2 lace-yarns: One is Madelinetosh Prairie, the other Fyberspates Scrumptious lace.

Det går faktisk ret hurtigt fremad. Den er klart sjovere at strikke anden gang, af en eller anden grund! Farven er som det øverste billede, meget, meget mørk blå, og de tre tråde matcher så godt, at man aldrig vil opdage i den færdige poncho, at der ikke bare er en enkelt tråd.
Det er dejligt at have tid til at strikke igen!

It's actually growing quite fast. It is so much more fun doing this second time, for some reason!
The color is like the top photo, very, very dark blue, and the 3 strands of wool match so well, that you would never guess it's not just a single strand.
It's really nice having time for knitting again!
