Bow ties are cool!

I går skulle jeg jo til endnu et ph.d. forsvar. Jeg ville selvfølgelig gerne strikke noget, og det blev en butterfly. Mønsteret fandt jeg på Ravelry, og den var faktisk rigtig nem og hurtig at strikke.
Der stod, at den skulle kunne nå rundt om halsen + 5 cm, når man skulle vurdere længden af det midterste stykke. Så det målte jeg - let strakt! Strikkede ting har det jo med at give sig.

Yesterday, I was going to yet another ph.d. defense. Of course I would like to knit something, and this time it ended up with a bow tie. I found the pattern on Ravelry, and it was really easy and quick to knit.
The pattern said it should fit around the neck + 2 inches, when judging if the length of the middle piece was okay. So that's what I did - slightly stretched! Knitted stuff tend to grow a bit.

Derefter fandt jeg en video på youtube og bandt så mit livs første butterfly. Den sidder lidt stramt, men ellers er det okay, synes jeg.
Garnet er "Drops loves you 2", og jeg har brugt 35 gram på pind 5,5 mm. Min søsters kommentar var, om det så kradser? Med en god, tæt, ulden butterfly og lidt sved på halsen er svaret JA!

Then I found a video on youtube and then bound the very first bow tie in my life. It's a bit tight, but otherwise okay, I think.
The yarn is "Drops loves you 2", and I used 35 grams using size 5.5 mm needles. My sisters comment was to ask if it's itchy? With a nice, tight, woolen bow tie and a sweaty neck the answer is YES!
