Juni + juli / June + July

Jeg har læst 2 bøger til. De må gælde for juni og juli, og de er da også begge to læst i løbet af begge måneder.
Den første læste jeg i USA. Min nevøs bog som skulle være ret spændende (det er den også!) - den første bog i en serie af Harry Potter lignende bøger. Skrevet af Ted Sanders, og jeg tror ikke de er kommet på dansk endnu. Men mon ikke de gør?
Jeg læste halvdelen af bogen i juni på 2 dage, resten i juli. Den er god, men det vil tage ret lang tid at forklare hvad den handler om. Tænk magi og kampen mellem det gode og det onde. Og så er der flere bøger i serien!

I read another 2 books. These are for June and July, and I read both of them over both months.
The first book was one I read while in the US. My nephews book which I was told was good (it is!) - the first in a serie of Harry Potter like books. Written by Ted Sanders, and not translated to Danish yet. I do think they will be translated some time!
I read half of the book over 2 days in June, the rest in July. It is really good, but it will take too long explaining what it's about. Think magic and the fight between good and evil. There are several books in this serie!

Den anden bog startede jeg på for flere måneder siden, men nu er jeg færdig! Den ret berømte "Maus" om 2. Verdenskrig, hvor jøderne er tegnet som mus og nazisterne som katte.
Den er forfatterens fars egen historie om hans liv i koncentrationslejr under krigen og den er bare god. Selv om det er en tegneserie, skal man lige have tid til at fordøje handlingen. Også, selv om man vidste det hele i forvejen!
Og nu tror jeg så på en eller anden måde, at jeg skal i gang med noget mere fornøjeligt. Hvilket jeg også er. Mere om det i morgen.

The second book was one I started several months ago, but now I'm done! The famous book "Maus" about the World War II, with the Jews drawn as mice and the nazis as cats.
It is the story about the writer's dads live in the concentration camps during the war, and it is really great. Although it's a cartoon, you need time to swallow what it's about. Even though you heard about most of it beforehand!
And by now, I do somehow think I need to read something a bit more fun. Which I did start. More about that tomorrow.

Garn / Yarn

Jeg købte en hel del garn i Michigan. For regel nummer 1 er jo, at i udlandet må man gerne købe garn. Ikke?
Det første garn var bestilt hjemmefra. Garn til at farve fra Knitpicks. Det var kun 1 bundt som blev farvet i ovn, og resten kom med hjem. Det skal jeg nok få sjov med.....

I bought quite a lot of yarn in Michigan. Rule number 1, as you know, is that you are always allowed to buy yarn when abroad, right?
The first box of yarn was something I ordered from my home. Yarn from Knitpicks for dyeing. Only of the skeins got an oven dye, and the rest came home with me. Will be fun working with it.....

Som sædvanlig, købte jeg også det helt utroligt sjove "Crazy" garn fra Stonehedge Fiber Mill. Lavet af rester fra de "rigtige" farver, og altid i nye kombinationer. Denne gang var det temmelig lyserødt....

As usual, I also bought the very fun "Crazy" yarn from Stonehedge Fiber Mill. Made from the ends of the "real" colors, and as always in new combinations. This time, I got a lot of pink......

Der røg også 2 nøgler fint strømpegarn med hjem. Bare fordi.....

Furthermore, 2 skeins of pretty sock yarn came home with me. Just because.....

Jeg var i Greenfield Village og i første omgang undgik jeg at købe deres garn af egen avl. Men så gik jeg forbi fårenes bebrejdende blikke og købte alligevel et par nøgler. De skulle jo ikke fryse til ingen nytte, vel?

I went to see Greenfield Village, and first time in the shop, I didn't buy their home-made yarn. But then I passed the sheep and their sad eyes and bought 2 skeins anyway. Didn't want those poor sheep to freeze for no reason!

Min niece valgte dette garn til denne bluse. Fra Woolfolk. Garnet hedder "Får" og blusen hedder "Kogle". Det er ihvertfald meget lækkert, og jeg satser på at sweateren er færdig til vinter!

My niece picked this yarn for this sweater. From Woolfolk. the yarn is called "Får" (sheep in Danish) and the sweater is called "Kogle" (like pine "cone" in Danish). It is really yummy and I do hope the sweater is finished by winter!

Fiskefjæs / Fish face

Viggo

Da jeg tog til USA, havde jeg meget store planer. Jeg skulle strikke i 2 uger, så jeg tænkte, at jeg da nok nåede at få ihvertfald 1, måske 2 Viggo-bluser færdige! Altså - hvor lang tid kunne det overhovedet tage med sådan noget småt noget på pind 4?
Så kom der nogle strømper i vejen. Og en bog. Og en hel masse hygge og snak hvor man ikke skulle sidde med næsen i en opskrift.
Derfor var resultatet den ene overdel på den første Viggo da jeg kom hjem igen. Men den er da pæn, ikke?

When I went to the US, I had big plans. I would be knitting for 2 weeks, so I thought I would have time to make at least 1, maybe even 2 Viggo-sweaters! Well - how long can it take finishing such small things using size 4 mm needles?
Then I stumbled across a pair of socks. And a book. And a lot of cozy, social time and talk when I couldn't sit there with my nose stuck in a pattern.
So as a result, when I got home, I had made the first top-part on the first Viggo. But it does look nice, don't you think?

Noget med høns / Something about chicken

Jeg har lært meget om høns de sidste par år. De er sociale og faktisk ret sjove. De stikker af, hvis de får mulighed, men samtidig kan de også godt lide at være "hjemme". Nå ja - og så har jeg lært, at der er en særlig pædagogik til at opdrage høns. Så I får lige en hønsefirkant i dag. Den er vældigt brugbar!

I learned a lot about chicken these past few years. They are very social and actually fun. They run away if they get the chance, but at the same time, they love being "home". Oh well - and then I learned how to teach them stuff when raising them. So today, you'll have a chicken square. Very useful!

Nu vi er ved strømperne / Speaking about socks

Hende min niece på 15, hun ELSKER sine strikkede strømper! Hun sover med strikkede strømper HVER nat. Også om sommeren. Her er hun med på en tur med hunden en formiddag i ca. 30 graders varme.
Jeg forstår ikke hun kan klare det! Jeg er meget glad for at jeg ikke selv fryser så meget om fødderne.
Er iøvrigt lige kommet hjem. Fik den største, dejligste overraskelse, da jeg blev hentet i lufthavnen! Det sker aldrig.... Men min søde veninde ville overraske mig, og DET blev jeg! Hvilken luksus!

My 15 year old niece - she LOVES her knitted socks! She sleeps every single night wearing her knitted socks. Even during the summer. Here she is, walking the dog on a day that was about 85 degrees F.
I don't understand how she survives this! I'm so happy that I don't have feet that cold.
By the way - I just arrived home. Had a giant, wonderful surprise at the airport, when I was picked up! It never happens...... But my sweet friend wanted to surprise me, so she came to pick me up. Such a luxury!

14+15

Strømperne til min niece blev færdige på bare en uge. De er rigtig flotte, synes jeg! Mønsteret købte jeg hos Knitpicks sammen med garnet og farverne, og hun valgte selv fra bogen. Det er 4 forskellige mønstre som går ned i spiralform, og spiralen går hver sin vej på hver strømpe.

The socks for my niece were done in just 1 week. I think they look really good! I bought the pattern with the yarn and dye at Knitpicks, and she picked the pattern from the book herself. It is 4 different patterns spiraling down, and the spiral is swirling in a different direction on the other sock.

Det var temmelig besværligt med 4 forskellige diagrammer, men da først jeg ligesom forstod mønsteret, gik det nemmere. De er strikket på pind 2,5, og de vejer 80 gram. Jeg tog den største størrelse med 72 masker. Jeg har fundet ud af, at det faktisk er et ret godt maskeantal.

It was kind of difficult with 4 different charts, but once I started understanding the pattern, things were easier. I used size 2.5 mm needles, and they weigh 80 grams. I used the largest size with 72 stitches. That is a really nice number of stitches for socks with my gauge. 

Garnet er med glimmer, og jeg synes, farverne er rigtig gode. De får ikke rigtigt striber af farverne, som egentlig blander ret pænt, og mønsteret med de forskellige strukturer er også ret sejt.
Hun er ihvertfald rigtig glad, selv om de nu er pakket ind med resten af hendes gave og hun først ser dem igen til sin fødselsdag!

The yarn has glitter, and I really like the colors. The colors are not pooling, but blends nicely, and the pattern with the different structures looks really cool.
She is very happy with them, although by now, they are wrapped with the rest of her present, and she won't see them until her birthday!

Desuden har jeg fået et par strømper færdige til mig selv. Det er bare almindelig rib på pind 2,5. Garnet er fra Mothy and the Squid, og minder om en regnvejrsdag med grå skyer og regnbuer. De der regnbuestriber blev lige noget tykkere end jeg havde forventet, men de er nu alligevel fine og med glade farver. De vejer 85 gram.
Dermed må jeg så lige holde en pause fra strømper til mig selv. Der er nogle travle fødselsdagsmåneder på vej......

Furthermore, I finished a pair of socks for me. Made with plain ribbing using 2.5 mm needles.
The yarn is from Mothy and the Squid, and reminds me of a rainy day with grey clouds and rainbows. The rainbow stripes were somewhat thicker than I expected, but look pretty in happy colors. They weigh a total of 85 grams.
And so I need to take a break from making socks for me. Some busy birthday months are coming up.....

Alene hjemme / Home alone

I tirsdags var mine nevøer og jeg alene hjemme. De andre var nemlig i Chicago for at hente niecens veninde. Min mindste nevø ELSKER at spille Minecraft, og han havde vist planlagt, at han så kunne sidde og spille hele dagen, når hans mor ikke var hjemme. Det gad jeg ikke at han gjorde, så først tog vi i boghandlen og tvang ham med. Han hyggede sig vist! Der fandt vi alle Shrek filmene og blev enige om at lave Shrek-maraton. Det er ikke så tit de sådan laver film-maraton, er jeg ret sikker på!

On Tuesday, my nephews and I were home alone. The rest of the family had gone to Chicago to pick up my niece's friend. My youngest nephew LOVES playing Minecraft, and I guess he planned to play all day, since his mom wasn't there. I didn't want him to do that, so first, we went to the book store and told him he had to come. He had a good time! We found all Shrek movies and agreed on making a Shrek-marathon. I don't think they get to watch that many movies very often!

Min nevø på snart 19 kørte os til boghandlen. Han kører udmærket bil, og blev endda lidt udfordret, da jeg havde tastet en forkert adresse ind og han blev nødt til at køre gennem centrum. (Tak, Moster! Eller noget.)
Vel hjemme igen fandt vi så ud af, hvad hunden laver når den er alene hjemme og døren til soveværelset ikke var lukket. Den ved også, hvilken seng der er mest blød!

My nephew, who is almost 19, drove us to the library. He is a good driver and even had some challenges after I picked the wrong address and forced him to drive through the city center. (Thanks, Moster!)
Well back home again, we saw what the dog does when it is home alone and the door to the bedroom is not closed. He also know which bed that is more soft!

Min mindste nevø blev (igen) tvunget til at undvære spil. Vi så alle 4 film, med nogle gåture ind imellem. Dels hen at købe is, dels for at hente pizza. Jeg strikkede og strikkede, og det gik godt fremad med nummer 2 strømpe.
Det var virkelig, virkelig hyggeligt!

My youngest nephew was (once more) forced to live without playing. We watched all 4 movies, and took some walks in between. One to buy ice cream, one to get pizza. I knit and knit, and the second sock is really growing.
We had such a nice time!

Vi gik også tur med Bailey. Plus naboens hund, Buddy. De to er måske ikke de bedste venner, men det var sjovt at se, hvordan de hele tiden skulle snuse til det samme og skulle tisse PRÆCIS samme sted som den anden. Det var virkelig, virkelig varmt, så det blev ikke en kæmpelang tur, men det føltes nu godt lige at få luftet nevøerne.......

We also took Bailey for a walk. With the neighbors dog, Buddy. Those two are not really best friends, but it was fun to watch how they all the time had to sniff the same places and pee at EXACTLY the same spot the other just peed. It was really, really warm, so it wasn't a giant trip, but it felt good letting the nephews out in the air.......

Fourth of July

I går var det så fjerde juli, den amerikanske Uafhængighedsdag. Det er første gang jeg har været i USA lige den dag, så det skulle selvfølgelig fejres!
Jeg havde købt øreringe med det amerikanske flag, så vi kunne være passende pyntet. Desværre havde min nieces veninde ikke huller i ørerne, så hun måtte nøjes med at fotobombe......

 Yesterday was the fourth of July, Independence Day. It was my first time in the US on this day, and needed to celebrate this!
So I bought "Stars and Stripes" earrings to make us look perfect. Unfortunately, my niece's friend didn't have ear piercings, so she had to photo-bomb instead of wearing them......

Det er en halv fridag, så en del butikker var lukket, og de, der var åbne, lukkede tidligt. De fleste mennesker var på camping. Vi tog ud til floden og hyggede, inden vi om aftenen tog hen for at se fyrværkeri. Vejene var ret så tomme på vej derhen, hvilket var virkelig mærkeligt.

It was a half day-off, and a lot of shops were closed. Those, that were open, closed early. Most people had gone camping. We went to the river and hung out, and then in the evening, we went to see firework. The roads were kind of empty when going there, which was really strange.

Fyrværkeriet var i en park. Der var absolut ingenting at læse på nettet om det, men åbenbart er det en tradition hvert år at en rig mand betaler for showet.
Da vi kom derhen, så det sådan ud. Man kunne godt komme lidt i tvivl om vi var havnet rigtigt! Men der sad også et par andre familier som ventede på det samme.

The fireworks were in a park. There is nothing to read about it on the internet, but apparently, it is a tradition every year with a rich guy paying for the show.
When we arrived, it looked like this. Made us wonder whether we got it right! But there were a few other families who were waiting for the show, too. 

Da det var ved at blive mørkt, så der sådan her ud. Det var tydeligvis en begivenhed! Der var masser af mennesker, men ikke helt proppet. Det er nok meget heldigt, at det ikke står officielt nogle steder, for hvis det havde gjort det, havde der ikke været tomme græspletter, tror jeg!

As it was getting dark, it looked like this. Obviously something happening! There were plenty of people, but not totally crowded. I guess it's good there is no official information about this, because otherwise there would have been no empty spots!

Det var totalt hyggeligt. Børn, der løb ind og ud med de der lys-stænger og stjernekastere. Familier på tæpper. Sjovt nok var der også nogle der havde taget hunde med. Jeg har ellers ikke mødt hunde som kunne lide fyrværkeri, men lige her virkede de meget rolige!

It was so nice and cozy. Children running around with light-sticks and sparklers. Families on blankets. Strangely enough, someone brought their dogs. I don't think I met dogs before who liked fireworks, but these dogs were really calm!

Fyrværkeriet startede kl. 22, og det var virkelig flot! Kæmpe raketter og mange af dem!
Der var en meget lang pause så vi blev ikke til det hele, men vi så ret meget!
Det er totalt fedt at kunne sidde på et tæppe og se fyrværkeri, faktisk. Ærgerligt, at nytår altid er om vinteren, så man ikke kan gøre lige det! (På den anden side. Nogen ville bare blive ramt af raketter som blev skudt af vandret.)

The fireworks started at 10 p.m., and it was really spectacular! Giant rockets and plenty of them!
There was kind of a long break so we didn't stay for all of it, but we saw a lot!
It was so great sitting on a blanket, watching fireworks. Too bad, New Year is always in the winter, making that bit hard! (On the other hand. Someone would just get hit by a rocket being fired horizontally.)

Da vi kom hjem, så vi næste show. Min nevø fyrede fyrværkeri af på en tom parkeringsplads. Så fint, og hyggeligt at se på. Han var MEGET stolt.
I dag er så almindelig dag. Min søster har brugt sine feriedage og skal på arbejde igen. Min mindste nevø tæller nærmest timer til hvornår jeg skal rejse hjem. Han glæder sig IKKE. Heldigvis har jeg et par dage endnu herovre....

When we got back home, we watched the next show. My nephew had some fireworks, and there was an empty parking lot close by. He was SO proud.
Today is an ordinary day. My sister spent her last day of vacation and needs to go to work again. My youngest nephew is counting the hours until my departure. He is NOT looking forward to that. Fortunately, I still have a few days left......

Hvad man kan købe / Stuff for sale

Som jeg kan lide det / As I like it

Det er temmelig varmt her i Michigan! 35 grader i søndags, og for en tykpelset hund er det altså lige i overkanten. Specielt, når det er den hund, der føler sig bedst tilpas liggende i sneen mens den tygger på en istap.
Så det har været temmelig svært at få ham ud at gå. Medmindre min søster var med. Han kunne dog lokkes med en godbid, som I ser. Bailey gør ALT for godbidder!

It is really warm here in Michigan! 95 degrees Fahrenheit this Sunday, and for a dog with a lot of fur, it is kind of much. Especially for this dog, who really feels the most comfortable when lying in the snow, chewing on an icicle.
It has been kind of hard convincing him to take a walk. Unless my sister came along. He could be convinced using a treat, as you can see. Bailey will do ANYTHING for treats!

Så snart godbidden var væk, stod vi sådan her. Hvis ikke vi havde fået selskab på turen, var vi nok bare gået ind igen. Hvis Bailey ikke gider gå, så kan man lige så godt give op......
Men det er hyggeligt at gå tur med hund! Virkelig hyggeligt. (Lige bortset fra hundelortene. Puha!)

As soon as the treat had been eaten, we stood still like this. Unless our company had shown up, we would have just turned back inside again. If Bailey don't want to go, you might as well give up.....
But it is really nice taking a dog for a walk! Really fun. (Apart from the dog poops. Yikes!)

Mandag var jeg i Jo-Ann, den meget store hobbybutik. Og tænk - de havde undulatstof! Jeg skal hjem og sy mig en bluse af det. Det er så flot!
Vi var også i biografen, min søster og jeg, og se "Lives well lived". En virkelig interessant dokumentarfilm hvor 40 personer som var mellem 75 og 100 år gamle blev interviewet om deres liv. Kan kun anbefales hvis du får chancen!

On Monday, I went to Jo-Ann, the really big store of fabrics and stuff for being creative. And imagine - I found budgerigar fabric! I need to make a shirt from this. It's so pretty!
We also went to the movies, my sister and I, to watch "Lives well lived". A really interesting documentary featuring 40 persons between 75 and 100 years old telling about their lives. I recommend watching this, if you get the chance!

Nå ja - ind imellem strikker jeg så strømper i det hjemmefarvede garn. De bliver meget fine, synes både niecen og jeg, og nu er den første færdig.

Oh well - and in between, I knit socks from the home-dyed yarn. Both the niece and I like how they turn out, and the first one is finished by now.

Fourth of July

For første gang nogensinde skal jeg være i USA 4. juli. Om jeg glæder mig? JA!
Har store forventninger, men i virkeligheden er det vist mest en fridag med grillmad og fyrværkeri.
Nå. Men vi skal da have en amerikansk opskrift i dag, og det bliver et hæklet dåsebetræk. Fordi. Bare fordi.

For the first time ever, I'll be in the US on Fourth of July. Am I excited? YES!
I have great expectations, but in reality, I guess it's more like a day off with barbecue and fireworks.
Well. But we need an American pattern today, and it is this crochet can-cozy.

Fødselsdag / Birthday

I går havde min svoger fødselsdag, og det var virkelig hyggeligt at kunne være med til at fejre ham! Hele dagen.
Vi fik morgenmad hos Grand Traverse Pie Company. Hvor de laver - ja - tærter. Antallet af børn var nede på 1, fordi de andre skulle arbejde, men han hyggede sig vist stort med sin kanelsnegl! Vi andre fik lækker quiche og "morgenmadssandwich".

Yesterday was my brother-in-law's birthday, and I really enjoyed being able to celebrate him with the others! All day long.
We had breakfast at Grand Traverse Pie Company. A place that makes - well - pies. The number of kids was down to 1, since the others had to work, but I think he enjoyed himself eating his cinnamon swirl! Us adults had delicious quiche and "breakfast sandwich".

Bagefter kørte vi til Detroit. Jeg ville mægtig gerne på "Eastern Market", som er kæmpestort. Vi kørte forbi Michigan Central Station, som nu er blevet solgt til Ford og er ved at blive renoveret. Der var kommet glas i vinduerne, så man kunne også se det udefra.
Generelt er det rigtig dejligt at Detroit er ved at komme på benene igen. Jeg har været på museum og læst om byens storhedstid, og det var forfærdeligt trist at alt bare gik i stå og blev forladt.

Afterwards, we went to Detroit. I really wanted to go to "Eastern Market", which is huge. We rode past Michigan Central Station, which has been sold off to Ford and has started reconstruction. We saw glass in all the windows, so it was visible even from the highway.
It is so very nice to see Detroit getting on it's feet again. I've been to the museums and read about this city's glory, and it was ever so sad how everything just came to a halt and was left abandoned.

På markedet var der frugt og grøntsager i store mængder, planter, folk der solgte honning og popcorn og næsten alt, hvad man kan forestille sig på sådan et marked hvor folk sælger ting direkte fra deres gård.
Der var masser af sukkulenter. De havde en del potter til dem, og de her lænestole var så utroligt nuttede. Desværre har min søster ikke rigtigt plads til flere (de vokser for godt!) så det var kun et par bittesmå som kom med hjem.

In the marked, there were great amounts of fruit and vegetables, plants, people selling honey or popcorn and almost everything you can imagine from a farmer's market.
There were lots of succulents. They had several different pots for them, and these chairs were so incredibly cute. Unfortunately, my sister really doesn't have any more space for them (they grow too well!) so she only brought home some very tiny samples.

Vi var også forbi "DeVries & Co.", officielt en ostebutik, men i praksis en delikatessebutik, hvor 1. og 2. sal er fyldt med alt muligt sjovt. F.eks. de her fine figurer i metal.
Nu er der jo efterhånden flere i familien som har høns, så jeg tror, min bror slipper i år, og i stedet får min nevø æren af en høne til haven. Ikke lige denne her, altså.
Det var utroligt varmt i går, så senere på dagen gik vi i biografen og så "De Utrolige 2" inden vi fik lækker grillmad. Nå ja - og jeg fik strikket på strømperne. De bliver SÅ fine!

We also visited "DeVries & Co.", which officially is a cheese store, but in reality more like a delicatessen store, and has the 2. and 3. store filled with fun stuff. For instance, these pretty metal figures.
There are more than one home in the family which now holds chicken, so I think my brother can relax. He is not getting another chicken in the garden. My nephew will, though.
Yesterday was so incredibly hot, so in the afternoon, we went to watch "The Incredibles 2" before having delicious barbecue at home. Oh well - and I knit on the socks. They are turning out SO pretty!

Søde børn / Cute kids

Der er kommet fine billeder af de strikkede ting som er nået godt frem. Først hende her i sin body, der sidder helt perfekt! Det er altså fantastisk, når det passer SÅ godt!

I got nice photos of all the knitted stuff which arrived. First this girl in her body, which fits perfectly! It is amazing, when it fits THAT well!

Hun er så sød! Der er stadig masser af hår på hovedet! Jeg håber, hun lige når at bruge den inden det bliver rigtig varmt igen.

She is so cute! She still has so much hair! I do hope she gets to use it before it really gets hot again.

Den lyserøde bluse er også kommet godt frem. Den passer forbløffende godt! Her havde jeg været så bekymret for størrelsen. Suk. Jeg har bare ikke styr på hvor store børn er i virkeligheden!

The pink sweater also arrived. It fit's surprisingly well! And me with all my worries about the size. Sigh. I just don't have a clue about the actual size of children!

Her er hun med lillebror. De er nogle herlige børn, de to. 

Bortset fra det - der ser utroligt hyggeligt ud i Mariager! Jeg glæder mig til at besøge dem her i løbet af sommeren og se det nye sted. 

Here she is with her baby brother. They are fun kids, these two. 

Apart from that - Mariager (their new town) looks really nice and pretty! I am looking forward to visiting them during the summer and see their new place. 

Min nevø var også venlig at vise mig at byen også er udrustet med garnbutik! Han lokker, gør han.

My nephew was kind enough to show me that the city is well equipped with a yarn shop! He is luring.

Det farvede garn / The dyed yar

Det ovn-bagte garn hang på badeværelset natten over, men det gik ikke hurtigt nok med at tørre, så i går kom det ud i den friske luft. Og så ventede vi utålmodigt på at det blev helt tørt.

The oven-baked yarn spent the night in the bathroom, but didn't get dry quite as fast as we wanted, so yesterday, it came out in the air. And then we waited impatiently for it to dry. 

Det tog jo ikke SÅ lang tid, og efter det tørrede, blev det til det fineste bundt. Her på den orange side.

It didn't take THAT long, and after it was dry, it turned into a very pretty skein. This is the orange side.

Her er den gule side. Man kan også se glimmertråden! De er allerede et hit.

This is the yellow side. You can even see the glitter-thread! This is a hit already.

Garnnøglet blev også ret fint. Den evigt sultne hund kom selvfølgelig for at se, hvad det var jeg sådan lagde ud på græsset, så han kom med på billedet. Desværre var det ikke spiseligt, så han gik igen.
Nu er strømperne så startet! Det bliver spændende.

The yarn ball was also very pretty. The ever hungry dog came over to see what I put down on the grass - if it was eatable? - so he got on the photo as well. Unfortunately, it wasn't food, so he left.
Later, I started the socks! Will be exciting.
