Michigan Wolverines

Ann Arbor er byen, hvor University of Michigan ligger. Faktisk havde der ikke været nogen by uden universitetet....... Universitetet har adskillige sportshold, der alle hører under Michigan Wolverines, og et stadion så stort, at alle byens indbyggere kan være derinde på en gang!
Deres farver er blå og gul, og selvfølgelig kan man få alt muligt med deres logo. Selvfølgelig!

Ann Arbor is the town of University of Michigan. Actually, there would be no town without the university....... The university has quite a few sports teams, all belonging to the Michigan Wolverines, and a stadium so big, that all citizens of the town can be inside at once!
The official colors are blue and yellow, and of course you can get almost anything with their logo.

Når jeg nu var i den meget store hobby-butik, var det jo nærliggende at købe tykt garn i blå og gul, så de kære børn kunne få huer i de "rigtige" farver til den kolde, kolde vinter!
Min nevø ville gerne have striber, og tro mig - på pind 8 går det rigtig hurtigt! Han ville også gerne have et "M" på, og det var lige lidt sværere med det.
Heldigvis fandt jeg nogle tynde vanter hvor M-et var lige til at klippe ud.

Since we went to Jo-Ann's, it was the most obvious thing to buy thick yarn in blue and yellow, so the sweet kids could have hats in the right colors for the cold, cold winter!
My nephew wanted stripes, and believe me - with 8 mm needles it's really fast to do! He also wanted the "M", and that was a bit harder.
Fortunately, I found the thin gloves with the M ready to cut out. 

Bagefter blev det pænt syet på, og huen blev heldigvis straks godkendt. Faktisk gik han med den det meste af aftenen. Kun med pauser, når hjernen var ved at nedsmelte!

Afterwards, the M was sewn on nicely, and the hat was accepted immediately. Actually he wore it all evening, only taking breaks when his brain almost had a melt-down!

Huen var nem. Pind 8, 60 masker og rib i 2 ret, 2 vrang, derudaf. Derefter strikkede jeg masker sammen over et par pinde og hæftede ender.
Den er varm, kan jeg godt fortælle, og den bliver helt sikkert et hit til vinter!

The hat was easily done. 8 mm needles, 60 stitches and rib-pattern with knit 2, purl 2 all the way. Afterwards, I decreased over a few rows and sewed the ends.
I can assure you it's really warm, and I think it will be really nice this winter!
