12, Ravenclaw!

Så blev de færdige! Strikket på bare 5 dage til den Harry Potter elskende pige som fyldte 10 år i går. 

Jeg tror ikke jeg har strikket strømper med 2 farver hele vejen ned før! Men det er gået over forventning. De er strikket på pind 2,75 så de er lidt løsere. Strømpen til venstre havde min niece testet, så der er strømpen strakt ud. Før de kom på en fod var de jo helt rynket sammen, men de var altså fint elastiske. Hælen er en "afterthought heel" så man bare kunne strikke mønsteret hele vejen. Det er min første gang med sådan en og det fungerede faktisk rigtig fint! 

De er strikket i Arwetta og vejer 55 gram. Mønsteret er dette her. 

They got done in time! Knit in just 5 days for the Harry Potter loving girl who turned 10 yesterday. 

I don't think I ever knit socks with 2 colors all the way before! But it went very well. They are made with 2.75 mm needles to make them a bit looser. The sock on the left was tested by my niece, so it was stretched. Before being put on a foot, they looked quite wrinkled, but they were really elastic. 

The heel is an "afterthought heel" so the pattern could be knit all the way. It's my first time with one of those and it worked really fine!

They are made in Arwetta and weigh 55 grams. The pattern is this one. 

Fødselsdagspigen fik virkelig mange Harry Potter ting, så hun var glad! Hendes to bedste venner var der, og hun fik 3 tryllestave i gave, så det var perfekt. De løb rundt og legede med tryllestave i haven, så det blev en virkelig god dag! 

Mønsteret til strømperne har hun fundet i en af mine strikkebøger. Det er sjovt, men også farligt, at de er begyndt at kigge i de bøger! Sikke meget de ønsker sig!!!!!!! Hun fortalte de andre, at "Faster Christine har HUNDREDE hæklebøger med Harry Potter!", men hun havde godt nok ikke lyst til at begynde at hækle selv. En af dem har hun selv givet mig og hun spørger jævnligt om jeg har hæklet nogle af figurerne fra den?

The birthday girl got a lot of Harry Potter stuff, so she was happy! Her two best friends were there, and she had 3 wands as presents, so that was perfect. They were running around, playing with the wands in the garden, so she had the best day!

The pattern for the socks was one she found in one of my books. It's fun, but also dangerous that they started looking in those books! They want so many things!!!!!! She told the others that "Aunt Christine has a HUNDRED crochet books with Harry Potter!", but she has no intention to start crocheting herself. One of the books was a gift from her, and ever so often she asks me if I started crocheting any of the figures from it?
