Garn / Yarn

I New York fik jeg købt noget garn. Ikke fordi jeg manglede, men hvor tit kommer man til New York? Det her første garn faldt jeg helt tilfældigt over. På gåturen til Brooklyn Bridge kom vi forbi et lille "Farmers Market", hvor vi egentlig kun kom ind, fordi min søster opdagede skiltet på den lukkede dør og havde lyst til varm æblecider. (Jeg tror, man skal bo i USA for at opdage muligheden for det. Jeg havde aldrig tænkt over det!)
Inde bag døren var der hyggeligt - og der var en kurv med garn! Endda lokalt, meget blødt garn i halvt uld, halvt alpaca. I den fineste, gule farve, som man slet ikke kan se rigtigt på billedet. Min nevø ville have strømper af det. Som om!

In New York, I bought some yarn. Not, because I needed, but how often do you get to go to New York? This first yarn was actually something I stumbled across. On our walk to Brooklyn Bridge, we passed a small "Farmers Market", and really only entered, because my sister saw the sign on the closed door and wanted som warm apple cider. (I do think you need to live in the US in other to notice the possibility of this. I would never have given it a second thought!)
Behind the door was a really cozy shop - and a basket of yarn! It was local, very soft yarn in 50% wool, 50% alpaca. In the nicest yellow color which you can't really see on the photo. My nephew believed it would become socks for him. As if!

Det blev også til en tur i Knitty City, som ligger lige bag naturhistorisk museum. Hold op, som der var mange mennesker! Der var fyldt rundt om bordet af folk som strikkede og snakkede. Meget, meget hyggeligt.
Jeg fandt grønt og gråt "Dos Tierras" fra Malabrigo. Den grå var lige lagt på hylden, hvor den så hurtigt kom af igen.

I also paid a visit to Knitty City, which is located right behind the Natural History museum. There were so many people in there! The table was filled with talking, knitting people. Very, very nice place and atmosphere.
I found green and grey "Dos Tierras" from Malabrigo. The grey had just arrived in the shop, actually, but quickly left again. 

I julegave fik jeg 3 bundter af samme slags garn i rød-gul-grøn-brune farver. Så jeg tænkte egentlig, at det grønne og grå kan gå sammen med det andet. Det er fint, når der er lidt kontrast, synes jeg.
Og det skal jo så være noget til mig, forstås......

For Christmas, I had 3 skeins of the same kind of yarn in red-yellow-green-brown colors. So I actually looked for something to combine with this. I like the contrast with the green and grey. And it's going to be something for me, you know.....

Nå ja - jeg købte også endnu en strikkepose. Den kan vist ikke sådan lige blive væk i den farve.....

Oh well - I also bought another knitting bag. This one will not easily get lost, being so orange.....
