Min taske / My bag

Da jeg landede i København i søndags, kom der kun 1 taske. Lige meget hvor længe jeg ventede, kom min røde taske ikke, så jeg endte i en kø for at melde den savnet.
Sidste gang det skete, for 2 år siden, kom den ret hurtigt. Det gjorde den også denne gang. Allerede mandag aften! Jeg gad godt vide, hvor den har været henne.....

When I landed in Copenhagen on Sunday, there was only 1 bag on the belt. No matter how long I waited, my red bag didn't arrive, so I ended up in a line, reporting my missing bag.
Last time it happened, 2 years ago, it came rather quickly. And this time it was the same. So by Monday evening, it was home! I wonder where it went........

Den var ihvertfald blevet tjekket. Grundigt. Sedlen lå ovenpå Gurli Gris julegaven, hvilket jeg synes var lidt sjovt. For bortset fra Kina er der vel ikke nogen der synes hun er farlig?

I found it it had been checked. Through and through. The note was left on top of the Peppa Pig Christmas present, which I thought was fun. I guess it is only China having a problem with her?

Det var jo den vigtige taske, hvor mine nye strikkebøger lå i! Jeg havde en tur helt alene i boghandlen i Ann Arbor, hvilket næsten føltes lidt ensomt. Jeg var hurtigt gennem strikkebøgerne, for jeg er efterhånden trænet i det, inden nogen kommer og råber "Moster!", og købte kun 2. Men hvilke to!
Norah Gaughan er jo en fantastisk designer, og de der vanter fra Letland MÅ jeg vel komme i gang med på et tidspunkt.....

You know, this was the important bag with my new knitting books! I went to the book store in Ann Arbor all by myself. It almost felt lonely. I looked through the knitting books quickly. I have had some training in just that, before someone comes along, yelling "Moster!" (auntie), and only bought 2. But those 2! Norah Gaughan is an amazing designer, and the mittens from Latvia is something I HAVE to get started sometime.....

Jeg købte også nogle strikkeblade. Ikke at jeg mangler, men det er svært at lade være! Bladet i midten, "Knitting Tradition" er sjovt. Der er altid noget historie med. Altså. Bogstaveligt talt håndarbejde i løbet af historien. Det er helt utroligt interessant!

I also bought some knitting magazines. Not that I have too few, but it is hard not to! The magazine in the middle, "Knitting Tradition", is fun. Always has some history in it. Actual articles on crafts during the time of history! It is so interesting!

Jeg købte jo også lidt garn. Det der "Crazy" garn i helt tilfældige striber KAN jeg bare ikke lade være! Denne gang blev det grøn-blå farver.

I also bought a bit of yarn. The "Crazy" yarn with totally random stripes is something I just CAN'T leave alone! This time, I got the green-blue colors. 

Desuden var der bomuldsgarn på tilbud. Dejligt, tykt bomuldsgarn som jeg faktisk har strikket en top i tidligere. Nu har jeg vist nok til en sweater.

Furthermore, there was cotton on sale. Nice, heavy cotton. I made a top with the same type of yarn earlier on. I guess I have enough for a sweater now.
