Årets tredjesidste (håber jeg) projekt blev færdigt juleaften. Med det samme var der nogen som syntes de godt kunne bruge det færdige og som kunne vise, at den ville passe rigtig godt!
Men hun fik den altså ikke...... Jeg strikkede det sidste og hæftede ender i toget mod Næstved.
This years third to last (I hope) project got done on Christmas Eve. Immediately, someone thought they could use what I made and showed right away how well it would fit!
But she did not get it..... I knit the last stitches and sewed the ends on the train towards Næstved.
Den var strikket ret stramt, og hvis jeg skulle kunne have den på, skulle den spændes ret grundigt ud efter vask. Det krævede en ballon! Det så jo helt skørt ud som den sad der - faktisk lignede det nærmest at den havde vand i hovedet - men det blev ret godt! Aflukningskanten hev jeg også godt i så den kunne komme over mit hoved.
It was knit quite tight, and if I was ever to wear it, it needed a serious blocking after washing. So I called in the balloon! It looked ridiculous as it sat there - it actually looked like a case of hydrocephalus - but it turned out quite well! The i-cord edge where I cast off also got stretched as much as I could so it would go over my head.
Her er den så! Så smuk og blød! 55 gram ren cashmere, og mønsteret er dette her. Det var virkelig sjovt (og frustrerende!) at strikke. Opskriften var god og det var selvfølgelig ekstra sjovt når jeg ikke helt vidste hvad det skulle blive.
Så - TAK for en virkelig sjov julekalender!
So here it is! So pretty and soft! 55 grams of pure cashmere, and the pattern is this one. It was so much fun (and frustrating) to knit it. The pattern was well-written, and of course it was extra fun when I wasn't sure what it would become.
So - THANK you for this really fun Advent Calendar!
