Forklædet / The apron

Ind imellem arbejde og strikketøj har jeg fået syet forklædet til min nevø der snart har fødselsdag. Det var en ret nem opskrift, men stoffet er tyndt, så jeg satte for på.
Hvorefter jeg straks fjumrede rundt i halsstroppen, der vistnok lige skulle laves lidt om. Eller noget.

In between work and knitting, I've finished sewing the apron for my nephew who is celebrating his birthday soon.
It was a pretty easy pattern, but the fabric is thin, so I put som lining on it.
Then I very quickly did something completely stupid with the neck band, having to redo it.

Han kan rigtig godt lide Batman, så jeg tror, at han bliver glad for det her forklæde! (Det er sjovt, som man pludselig kan se gentagelserne i stoffet når det kommer på afstand, iøvrigt....)
Mønsteret er fra en gammel sybog, og det mest indviklede var at vende alle de der bånd. Suk, hvor er det kedeligt!

He really likes Batman, and I do think he will love this apron! (Funny, how the repeats in the fabric look so obvious seen from a distance, by the way.....)
The pattern was found in an old sewing book, and the most complicated part was turning all the strings inside out. It is so boring!

I går faldt der lige et par nye bøger ind ad døren. Jeg har vist glemt, at jeg ikke er så glad for at hækle! De ser begge utroligt sjove ud. Den med pixels kan man bruge til virkelig meget, og Twinkie Chan har jeg tidligere haft sjov med. Hun laver nogle ret alternative, men alligevel anvendelige ting.
Må hellere blive færdig med kanten på det stakkels tæppe, så jeg kan finde på noget nyt!

Yesterday, a couple of new books fell in the door. I seem to have forgotten that I don't really enjoy crocheting that much! They look incredibly funny, both of them. The pixel book can be used for lots of stuff, and I've enjoyed Twinkie Chan's patterns before. She makes some very alternative, but still usable things. I guess I need to finish the edging on the poor blanket, making room for something new!
