Den ukrympelige sweater, som jeg strikkede (og strikkede), lykkedes rigtig godt i anden omgang. Den blev sendt til USA med masser af lakrids og Anders And og krydsede fingre for, at den ikke ville fare vildt. Eller blive åbnet og miste noget af sit indhold.
Men alt gik godt! Jeg tør vædde på, at dette billede er taget under en time efter at min nevø kom hjem fra skole og så pakken. Det er jo skønt, ikke? Barn iført sweater med næsen i Anders And. (Han glemte endda at spille iPad!)

The unshrinkable sweater, that I knit (and knit) got really well second time around.
It was mailed to the US with plenty of liquorice and Donald Duck magazines and I crossed my fingers for luck that it wouldn't get lost. Or get opened, loosing some of the content!
But all went well! I bet you that this photo was taken not even an hour after my nephew got home from school and saw the package. It's great, isn't it? Child dressed in sweater with his nose deep into a Donald Duck story. (He even forgot to play iPad!)

Her prøver hans mor så at tage et "rigtigt" billede. Uden held. (Vi er ikke i tvivl om, at han opfører sig som en 9-årig!)
Han elsker sweateren og har fortalt, at den er lavet af "elastik-uld". Ikke meget galt. Den voksede ihvertfald i vask!
Nu venter jeg så på en pakke den anden vej. Min julegave! Den blev sendt og dukkede aldrig op. Det var noget surt, da den så kom tilbage til USA med besked om, at den havde ligget på mit posthus! Jeg fik bare aldrig besked..... Nu er den på vej igen, og jeg glæder mig!

This is his mom trying to take a "serious" photo. Without luck. (We all agree that he behaves like a typical 9-year-old!)
He loves the sweater and concluded it's made from "elastic wool". Not far off. It grew well when washed!
Now I'm waiting here for a package going back. My Christmas present! It was mailed and never made it here. It really felt bad when it arrived back in Ann Arbor with a note telling that it had been lying in my post office! I was just never told..... Now it's coming again, and I can't wait!

Der kom så lige et billede mere af ham på falderebet. Åh - jeg er virkelig glad for at den ikke bare nåede godt frem, men også passer og så elsker han den!

I just received another photo of him. Oh, I'm really happy that it didn't just reach the destination, but fits him, and he even loves it!
