For stramme / Too tight

Desværre var det som jeg havde frygtet. Det temmelig stramme skaft kunne IKKE kommer over hælen, og fødselsdagsbarnet kunne derfor slet ikke få sine strømper på!

Så jeg må bare i gang igen, og så bliver det noget med rib. 

Unfortunately, it turned out like I feared. The rather tight leg could NOT pass the heel, and the birthday girl was therefore totally unable to wear her new socks!

So I just have to start over, and this time, it will have ribbing.

Men lillesøster var lykkelig! Hun kunne fint få dem på! Selv! 

Hun havde haft det ret hårdt med alle storesøsters gaver, så jeg tror faktisk lige det her reddede hendes dag. Det er jo ikke dårligt at score sig et par ekstra strømper, vel?

But her little sister was so happy! They fit her fine, and she didn't need help!

She had a tough day with all her older sister's presents, so I do think this about saved her day. It's not bad having an extra pair of socks!

Hun er barnet som får hedeslag så snart hendes mor beder hende tage strikkede strømper på, så det var ret forunderligt at se at lige de her fik lov at blive på hele dagen. 

Man kan tydeligvis også klatre med dem. 

Så alt i alt er det svært at sige om de var en succes eller en fiasko. Altså - de vakte alligevel så meget glæde at jeg tror de mest blev en succes!

She is the kind of child who almost get a heat stroke as soon as her mother ask her to put on knit socks, so it was quite marvelous to watch how these socks got to stay on her feet all day. 

Obviously, they are good for climbing. 

So all in all it's a bit hard to decide if they were a success or a failure. To be honest - they ended up causing so much joy that I think they were mostly a success!
