Cumulus!

Endelig er Cumulus færdig! Startet d. 1. januar, da jeg skulle starte det nye år, hvor jeg kunne strikke, hvad jeg havde lyst. Den har taget noget tid, for det er sandelig ikke nemt at strikke med 5 tråde garn.... Det har kun foregået herhjemme, med et øje på strikketøjet det meste af tiden for at undgå, at den ene tråd pludselig var længere, eller ikke var kommet med i masken osv. På trods af det er det altså alligevel smuttet et par steder. Eftersom jeg er typen, der ikke er begejstret for at skulle stirre på mit strikketøj og heller ikke specielt for kombinationen af pind 7 mm til 5 tråde garn, så har den fået lov at ligge og kede sig ret meget ind imellem. Men nu skulle det være!
Nogle dage i sofaen kunne gøre det, og hvor er den dog blevet dejlig.

Finally my Cumulus is finished! I started it on January 1st, at the beginning of this new year in which I could knit whatever I (ME) felt like. It took a while, because it's not very easy knitting with 5 different threads combined.... I only knitted it when at home, looking a little at the knitting most of the time to make sure that one of the threads wouldn't suddenly become too long or miss the needle and the stitch. In spite of my concentration, it did happen a few places. Since I'm not the kind of person who loves to stare at my knitting and really not too fond of the combination of very large needles and 5 thin threads of yarn either, it has been doing nothing for long periods. But now was the time to finish it!
A few days on the couch were enough, and I'm so happy with the result.

Trøjen er (jo) Cumulus, fra "Strik naturligvis" af Annette Danielsen. Vældig godt mønster at strikke efter. Jeg har brugt andet garn, og jeg har lavet både trøjen og ærmerne længere, men ellers ikke ændret noget.
Garnet er for det meste fra garnudsalg.dk. Jeg har brugt 1 tråd Blackhill højlandsuld (øverst til venstre), 1 tråd tynd mohair (nederst til højre) og 2 tråde tynd cashmere/uld (nederst til venstre). Endelig har jeg brugt 1 tråd Drops alpaca (øverst til højre). Resultatet er virkelig, virkelig blødt og en anelse pelset pga. mohair-garnet. Den holder faktisk også faconen rigtig godt efter vask.
Der var et problem med alpaca-garnet - jeg havde 5 nøgler, men skulle bruge mere. Desværre har de skiftet farver siden jeg købte de første nøgler, så ærmerne har en anden farve alpaca. Man kan dog kun se det, hvis man virkelig kigger efter. Heldigvis!
Som I kan se, er det jo ret sjovt, hvordan 4 forskellige farver tilsammen bliver en helt femte. Jeg er meget fascineret, og det giver et rigtig godt spil i trøjens farve. Bortset fra, at det er besværligt, så er det faktisk sjovt at lave nye farver på den måde...... Ialt vejer trøjen 800 gram, men den føles altså dejlig let. Ikke for tyk.
Ialt har jeg brugt knap 6 nøgler alpaca, ca. 250 gram højlandsgarn, lidt over 100 gram mohair (der var ikke nok i 1 nøgle) og knap 200 gram cashmere/uld.
Når I læser dette, er jeg på arbejde igen. Forhåbentlig uden at hoste folk ud af afdelingen.....

The cardigan is (obviously) Cumulus by Annette Danielsen. The pattern is very well written and easy to knit from. I used different yarns, and I made the body and sleeves longer, but didn't change other things.
Most of the yarn is from garnudsalg.dk. I used 1 thread of Blackhill wool (top left), 1 thread of thin mohair (bottom right) and 2 threads of thin cashmere/wool (bottom left). Finally I used 1 thread of Drops alpaca (top right). The result is really, really soft and with a slight halo due to the mohair. It keeps the shape very well after washing it.
I had a problem with the alpaca-yarn - I had 5 skeins, bought several years ago, but needed more. Unfortunately, they changed the color a bit, so the sleeves have a slightly different shade compared to the rest of the cardigan. Fortunately, you won't se it unless you know what to look for.
As you can see, it's really funny how 4 different brown colors combine to make a totally new color. It is very fascinating, and really makes the final brown color look alive. Although it is a bit troublesome, it's fun making new colors like that..... The total weight of the cardigan is 800 grams, but it still feels very light. Not too thick.
I used almost 6 skeins of alpaca, about 250 grams of blackhill wool, a bit more than 100 grams of mohair (1 skein wasn't enough) and almost 200 grams of cashmere/wool.
When you read this, I'm back to work. Hopefully I won't scare everyone away with my coughing.

Tivoli

Host / Cough

Når man alligevel sidder derhjemme og hoster, kan man vel lige så godt få det bedste ud af det, ikke? (Jeg burde egentlig læse nogle artikler, men altså.... Det må jeg gøre i dag.) Derfor har min Cumulus nu næsten ærmer. Den bliver så dejlig!
Jeg har drukket litervis af te og set en del tv/dvd-film. Meget, meget hyggeligt, når nu det skal være!

When you sit at home, coughing, you might as well make the most of it, don't you think? (Actually I should be reading articles..... Well. Things to do today.) And so my Cumulus almost have both sleeves. It's turning out great!
I am drinking liters of tea and have watched a lot of tv and dvd-films. An overload of "hygge", even though I'm sick.

Bakterier / Germs

Selvfølgelig måtte de dukke op her....... De strikkede bakterier!
Jeg kan ikke helt forstå, at det har taget så lang tid for mig at finde dem, men nu er de her så. Med flageller og det hele. (Og et par af deres virus-venner!)
Gør din baby klogere og strik nogle af de her til barnevognen, eller få bare brugt nogle af garnresterne. Er de ikke søde?

Of course they had to come to this blog at some point...... The knitted microbes!
I'm not sure why it took me so long to find them, but here they are. Complete with flagella and everything. (And a few virus-friends as well!)
Make your baby smarter by knitting a few for the pram, or use the pattern to get rid of some of all the odds and ends of yarn. Aren't they just too cute?

Rhinovirus

Denne lille fyr besluttede i går pludselig at flytte ind i min næse med alle sine irriterende venner. Han ser sød ud, men lad jer ikke narre! I løbet af få timer fik jeg øm gane og hals, smagssansen forsvandt og min næse begyndte at dryppe. Bogstaveligt talt. Temmelig irriterende, når man faktisk skal arbejde, og helst ikke må smitte nogen!
I dag skal jeg ikke arbejde. Egentlig havde jeg planer, men tror nu nok, dagen skal tilbringes med varm te, honning, citron og måske en dråbe rom? Et strikketøj kunne der nok også blive plads til.....
Imens kan jeg så glæde mig over starten på september og det næste halve år. Jeg glæder mig til en fast, ugentlig fridag, til næsten at skulle være det samme sted hver dag, til ikke at skulle arbejde så meget i weekenderne, og til at kunne finde rundt i ugedagene igen. Hele sommeren har jeg skulle tænke ret meget for at huske, hvad dag det er, fordi jeg hele tiden har arbejdet på forskellige tidspunkter, og jeg glæder mig altså til bare at få sådan en uge-rytme igen!

Yesterday, this little guy decided to take residence in my nose with all his annoying friends. He looks cute, but don't let him fool you! In a few hours I had a very sore palate and throat, I couldn't taste anything and my nose started dripping. Literally. Seriously irritating when you have to work and really should do all you can NOT to be contagious!
Today I'm not working. I did have plans, but now I guess this day will be spent with warm tea, honey, lemon juice and maybe a drop of rum? Some knitting would fit in nicely, I guess......
All the while I'm so happy it's the beginning of September and of the next 6 months. I'm really looking forward to having a weekly day off, to being in the same department most of the days, to not having to work so much during the weekends and to be able to remember which weekday it is once more. All summer I've had to think hard in order to remember which day it is, since I was working in different places and on different days all the time, and I can't wait to have a normal week-rythm again!

Strømpeplaner / Sock plans

Sidste år strikkede jeg overdrevet mange strømper. I år går det noget langsommere. Men de her 3 par er da på vej.
Til venstre et par Nemesis-strømper til min veninde. Hun har selv købt garn. Metalpindene er glatte, og det går ikke superhurtigt. Måske skulle jeg skifte pinde?
Det grønne bliver nok til min niece, der elsker grønt. Lækkert, blødt Zitron Trekking. Skal først være færdige til december.
Yderst til højre er det kommende strømper til min mindste nevø. Han fik frit valg, da han besøgte mig, og proklamerede, at han elsker rødt. Lige nu. Så det blev det her garn, der da nok er lidt flammefarvet, ikke? De skal være færdige om 2½ uge, men heldigvis er hans fødder ikke så store.....
Skal jeg så ikke lave flere strømper i år? Okkedog. Jo, skam! Der er bare ikke fundet garn endnu til de specifikke strømper.

Last year I made an incredible amount of socks. This year not so many. But these 3 are upcoming socks.
On the left it's a pair of Nemesis socks for a friend. She bought the yarn herself. The metal-needles are quite slippery, and the sock is growing very slowly. Maybe I should use some other needles?
The green yarn will be for my green-loving niece. Nice, soft Zitron Trekking. Don't have to be ready until December.
On the right is a skein supposed to become socks for my youngest nephew. He got to pick a color when he visited me and proclaimed that he loves red. Right now. So we ended up with this yarn, that's kind of flame-colored, right? I need to finish them in 2½ weeks, but fortunately his feet are not that big yet.....
So will this be the sock production for the rest of this year? Definately not! I just have to decide on which yarn to use for the rest of the socks.

Giftigt / Toxic

Så blev strømperne sandelig færdige! Det er sent, så vi tager det lige kort, ikke? 105 gram wollmeise i farven WD Klapperstorch. Jeg syntes, den lå og var så forfærdelig grim, at jeg bare måtte have den strikket væk. Når så det blev til strømper, blev det jo meget sjovt, mønsteret. Totalt giftige farver, lidt ligesom den dér slange I ved nok, der er stribet. Men farverne passer vel egentlig fint til sådan et par teenage-syrebasser, som de nok ender på. De bliver formentlig julekalender-strømper til niecen, der var heldig at få et år mere på efterskole.
Med disse strømper nåede jeg så op på 2390 gram wollmeise i år.

And then the socks were finished! It's late, so let's take the short version. A total of 105 grams of wollmeise, color named WD Klapperstorch. I really didn't like this color, so I decided to get rid of it by knitting socks. When turned into socks, it's kind of funny patterned. Totally toxic colors, a bit like this snake, that you probably read about at some point. The colors kind of fit the fact that these socks will end up on some stinking teenage-feet. I guess they will be a Christmas calendar gift for my niece who was lucky to go away on boarding-school for one more year.
With these socks, I've knitted a total of 2390 grams of wollmeise so far this year.

Næsten / Almost

Her skulle I have set et billede af et par færdige strømper. Det holder ikke helt, vel? (Og jeg kan nok ikke skyde skylden på møllene......)
Måske ser I dem igen senere i dag - det håber jeg. Først skal jeg sove efter min SIDSTE aften-nattevagt (YES!!!!!)
Fra i morgen hedder det tilkald. Jeg glæder mig!

This was supposed to be a photo of finished socks. Not quite, as you can see! (No idea in blaming the moth-invasion, I guess.....)
Maybe you'll see more of them later today - I hope you will. First I'll sleep after my LAST 17-hours evening-night shift. (Hooray!!!!)
Beginning tomorrow, I'll be on call from home at night. Can't wait!

Ydrk! / Yikes!

Se denne fine orkide med dobbeltblomst! Jeg mødte den hjemme hos min mor. Ret sød, synes jeg.
Men tilbage til overskriften. Jeg fandt den rene familieidyl i min strikkekurv. Af møl! (AAARRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!)
Ting jeg lige har lært på 20 min:
1) Der er meget hurtige måder at få ryddet op i sin strikkekurv
2) Der er sådan set også en meget hurtig måde at komme af med sin strikkekurv
3) Møl er ikke så glade for bambus. Eller alpaca (heldigvis!)
4) Det er ikke alle typer garn, der kan lide mikrobølgeovn. Mælkegarn, f.eks. Og visse typer merceriseret bomuld. Det bliver mærkelig brunt, ryger og STINKER!
5) Jeg er meget, meget taknemmelig for, at det allermeste garn ligger i tætte plasticposer.
6) Min 2 år gamle strømpe på vej, der skulle væk fra min WIP liste i år? Det er sket. Ikke på den måde, jeg havde tænkt.....
Dumme dyr! Men det er så prisen for at lade garn ligge uberørt og sammenpakket i en åben kurv i lang tid.

Look at this pretty orchid with a double flower! I found it at one of my mothers orchids. Really nice!
Well, back to the headline. I found a very large family, living together in harmony in my knitting basket. Moth! (AAAARRRRRRRGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!)
Lessons I learned in 20 minutes:
1) There are very fast ways of cleaning up a knitting basket.
2) There is also a very fast way of getting rid of you knitting basket.
3) Moth don't like bamboo. Or alpaca (fortunately!)
4) Not all types of yarn like microwaves. Milk yarn, for instance. And certain types of mercerized cotton, that turns a weird shade of brown, starts smoking and STINKS!
5) I am very, very grateful that most of my yarn is stored in thick, closed plasticbags.
6) My 2 year old sock planned to be taken off my WIP list this year? Mission accomplished. Not the way I planned, though....
Stupid animals! But I guess that's the price you have to pay if you let a lot of yarn stay close and un-touched in an open basket for so long.

Igang igen / Exit summer

Så var det sandelig slut med feriestemning.... En enkelt uge tilbage i det sædvanlige program, og jeg er træt. Hvis der bare var sådan en simpel tag-en-pille-løsning i stedet for den kedelige med at kigge i kalenderen og planlægge nogle aftener med ingenting.
Det er blevet (meget) mørkt om aftenen - og jeg var slet ikke færdig med sommeren endnu, synes jeg!
Men altså. Så kan man bare tænke sig tilbage til varmen ved et kinesisk tempel med et strikketøj og godt selvskab. Og håbe på, at jeg lige får snøvlet mig sammen til snart at vise jer noget færdigt igen.

And so the summer and all the joy of vacation (or that special feeling of vacation) ended.... Just one week back on my usual program, and I'm tired. If only there was a simple solution like taking a pill or something, instead of the very boring solution of planning some evenings of nothingness. At home.
The evenings have grown (very) dark - and I wasn't even finished enjoying summer!
Anyway - I can imagine myself back at the Chinese temple, in the warm sun with good company and something good to knit. And then I'll hope to be able to show you something finished again soon.

Har du fundet ham? / Did you find him?

Kan du huske ham her? Han plejede ikke at være tehætte, men svømmede på eventyr og var ved at give sin meget nervøse far adskillige hjerteslag. Jeg har set filmen adskillige gange, men trænger måske snart til at se den igen. Måske med tilhørende te?
Nemo-tehætten kan du finde her. Præcis i rette tid, så du kan nå at lave den til efteråret!

Do you remember this little guy? He wasn't always a tea-cozy, but swam out for his own big adventure and nearly caused his very nervous dad several heart attacks. I've watched this movie several times, but I guess it's about time to watch it again. Maybe with a cup of tea?
The Nemo-tea cozy is right here. Just the right time for knitting it an getting ready for autumn!

Første gang / First time

For første gang nogensinde har jeg to orkideer i blomst samtidig. Altså - ikke købt med blomster, men de er har fået blomster igen her hos mig. Jeg er meget stolt!
Jeg nyder lidt søndag morgen uden gæster, inden jeg skal til barnedåb. Sikke dog meget jeg har set til familien de sidste uger! Mindstenevøens søster var MEGET jaloux, så nu er der aftalt besøg af hende også. MED Tivoli-tur, selv om jeg er den værste kylling at have med på sådan en. Det må hun bare leve med......
Først tager jeg lige et par ugers gæstepause.

For the first time ever, I have two orchids blooming simultaneously. I didn't buy them with the flowers, but they grew them while staying here at my place. I'm very proud!
Right now I'm enjoying Sunday morning alone, before I'll go to a child baptism celebration. I've seen so much of the family these past weeks! My youngest nephews sister was VERY jalous, so we had to find a day for her as well. Including going to Tivoli! Even though I don't have the courage to try very much that seems dangerous, but she'll have to cope and live with the 'boring' stuff.
But for now, I'll take a few weeks without visitors.....

Bla-bla-bla-bla-bla-bla-bla

For første gang hentede jeg min mindste nevø i SKOLEN! Ret vildt, at han ikke er en lille børnehavedreng mere... Jeg havde totalt glemt, hvor meget de snakker i den størrelse af børn! Han snakkede non-stop hele vejen hjem til mig, kun afbrudt af at vi mødte min overbo og jeg fortalte ham, at hun ville falde ned gennem loftet, hvis hun hoppede for meget. Det blev han vist alligevel lidt imponeret over!

For the first time ever, I picked up my youngest nephew at SCHOOL! I can't believe he's not a little kindergarten-kid anymore.... I totally forgot how much children this size talk! He talked non-stop all the way to my home, and only kept quiet when we met the lady living in the flat on top of mine. I explained to him, how she would fall through the ceiling if she jumped too much, and I guess he was rather impressed at the thought.

Der er leget med vand og badeænder. (Jeps - stadig en favorit!) Morgenmaden blev indkøbt i små pakker. Hans voksne fætter havde lige fortalt, hvordan det åbenbart var en essentiel del af at besøge mig som barn, og det skulle selvfølgelig ikke mangle....

He played with water and bathing-ducks. (Oh yeah - still a favorite!) Breakfast came in tiny packages. His adult cousin just told me how this kind of breakfast was an essential part of visiting me when he was a child, so we didn't want to miss these....

Der er lavet kaffe, og i dag (når han vist iøvrigt har snakket lidt af) skal vi bare hygge os. Mand - jeg har savnet at have ham på besøg!
Iøvrigt - bemærk lige skyderen. Totalt ny, men de fleste knaldperler er allerede skudt af. Lejligheden lugter af krudt. Herligt!

He took care of brewing coffee and today (after I think he almost has run out of words) we're just going to have a nice time. I really missed his visits!
By the way - did you see the gun? Bought yesterday, but already he used most of the shots. My apartment smells like gun-powder. I love it!

Fuglenyt / News on birds

Af alle fugle i Danmark har jeg nok de skøreste.... Måske kan I huske, at de blev dødeligt uvenner og flyttede fra hinanden. Så gik det lidt bedre, og de sad en del af tiden sammen.
Nu har de så muligvis skudt papegøjen (hedder det mon det, når det er undulater?) og scoret sig en 2-værelses billigt på Frederiksberg.
Lige nu hedder døgnrytmen nemlig, at de er sammen 80% af tiden. Om natten sover de i det lille bur. Om morgenen flyver han-undulaten ind i det store bur og kalder på konen, til hun kommer med. Så sidder de dér. Så - øh - suk. Jeg har aldrig hørt om fugle med de problemer før!
Nu er det så spørgsmålet, om de virkelig bliver helt glade for hinanden igen, så de kan gå tilbage til den 1-værelses.....
I dag kommer mindste-nevøen på besøg. Når jeg har sovet efter arbejde. Jeg glæder mig! (Det gør han nok også) Desuden bliver jeg sikkert drevet til vanvid. Men hyggeligt bliver det alligevel!

Of all the birds in Denmark, I probably own the craziest ones.... Maybe you can remember how they really got mad at each other and had to move apart. Then things went better and they spend some time together.
Now they really figured things out and got themselves a 2-room apartment here on Frederiksberg.
Right now they are spending 80% of the day together. During the night they sleep in the tiny cage. Then in the morning the male fly into the large cage and calls for his wife until she joins him. Then they just sit there. So - well..... I never heard of birds like this before!
So now I just wait to see if they really grow happy together again. Hopefully they can stay in just one cage....
Today - after I have slept after work - my youngest nephew will come visit. I can't wait! (He is excited too, I guess) He will probably drive me crazy. But in a very nice and enjoyable way!

Pesto hexagon

I starten af ugen skulle jeg på kursus. Sådan et med lange dage og tungt stof. En af mine kolleger skulle undervise, og da han opdagede, at jeg glædede mig til at strikke, så han noget forkert ud i hovedet.... Han havde ikke lyst til at undervise nogen der sad med næsen i et strikketøj, fordi der røg en maske.
Derfor tænkte jeg, at det nok ikke var en god idé at tage et af mine mange projekter med snoninger med. Ej heller hækling, som jeg trods alt ikke er helt stiv i. Strømper gad jeg ikke strikke. Hvad så? (Og ja - jeg er klar over, at svaret kan ses øverst i indlægget....)
Da min niece var her, fik hun mig til at finde ALT mit wollmeise frem. På én gang! Det var VILDT! Jeg havde faktisk aldrig set mine lace-bundter samlet før. Sikke nogle farver! Til min overraskelse havde jeg to ens bundter WD Pesto. Det burde da være helt sikkert nok til en bluse til mig!
Så kombinationen af alt det garn og så en ny, rigtig smart opskrift førte til det, I ser på billedet. Starten på ryggen af en bluse. Opskriften hedder "Hexagon" og kan købes på Ravelry. Jeg synes, den er genial. Man skal kende brystvidden, og alt det andet giver sig selv. Strikkefasthed er fuldstændig ligegyldig, og man kan strikke den i alle garntyper og tykkelser. Faktisk tænker jeg allerede, at den kunne være sjov i farveskiftegarn!

On Monday and Tuesday I was going on a course. One with long days and difficult stuff. One of my colleagues were teaching some of the time, and when he heard that I was going to knit, he looked kind of funny..... He clearly didn't want to teach someone staring at a knitting project because a stitch fell off.
So I thought it might be better not to bring one of my many projects with cables. Nor to crochet, since I'm not yet that good at it. I didn't want to make socks. So what? (I am aware that you have seen the answer at the top of this post.....)
When my niece visited me last weekend, she made me take out ALL my wollmeise. In one place! It was CRAZY! I've never actually seen all my lace-skeins in one place before. Such beautiful colors! Much to my delight I had 2 skeins of WD Pesto, looking identical. Should be enough for a sweater for me!
Then the combination of this mental yarn overload and a new, fancy pattern led to what you see on the picture. The beginning of the back. The pattern is called "Hexagon" and can be bought on Ravelry. I think it's a stroke of genious! You have to know the width, and then everything else follows almost by magic. Gauge is irrelevant and you can make from all kinds of yarn in any weight. Even while knitting this one, I'm thinking about making another in color-changing yarn. Could be fun!

Malmö yarnbombing

Rockefeller

Mit "Rockefeller" sjal er endelig blevet færdigt..... Min niece tog det som en personlig sejr, at det blev færdigt mens hun var på besøg. Jeg blev da også mindet en del om at strikke videre!

My "Rockefeller" shawl is finally done..... My niece took it as her personal task to make me finish, and was quite certain it finished due to her reminding me to knit!

Det er såmænd blevet så fint! Efter billederne er taget, er det blevet vasket og ser endnu finere ud. Farverne er pæne, og størrelsen er ganske god. Det kan bruges som bindesjal, er dejligt blødt og varmt og med den rigtige tyngde. Jeg har ikke lavet ændringer i forhold til opskriften, og er faktisk godt tilfreds.
Desværre er det jo ligesom lovet ud, for det kunne da vist blive et fint "halstørklæde" til vinter!

It's a lovely scarf! After I took the photos, I washed it, and it's even nicer now. I love the colors and the size too. It has a size that makes binding it on the back possible, and it is really soft and warm and just the right kind of heavy. I didn't make any modifications but just followed the pattern, and I'm very happy with it.
Unfortunately, it has been promised to give away. I think, it would have been really nice for wearing during winter!

Det er (jo) strikket i Wollmeise, og ialt har jeg brugt 270 gram, ca. halvt af hver af den røde og den brune. Det bringer årets forbrug op på 2285 gram.

(Of course) It is made from Wollmeise. I used 270 grams, approximately equal amounts of the two colors.
And so I have knitted 2285 grams of wollmeise this year.

Selv en pirat / Even a pirate

Selv om man har sejlet på de syv have og røvet adskillige kister med guld, så nytter det ikke noget at være nok så sej, hvis man får kolde tæer.....
Disse strømper garanterer dejlig varme, også til pirater!
Mønsteret kan du finde her.

Even though you sailed the seven seas and captured several gold-chests, all the cool attitude won't help you if your feet get cold....
This socks will guarantee lovely warm feet, even for pirates!
The pattern is right here.

Malmø

Vi kom til Malmø i går. De har festival lige nu, ved egentlig ikke for hvad, men der var bunker af mennesker, og så var skiltene pyntet med strik.

We went to Malmø yesterday in time for a festival. Not sure why they held it, but there were loads of people and all the signs were made very pretty with yarn bombing.


Her er et jungle-signal.

This one's straight out of the jungle.


I supermarkedet var der - hø hø - JULi-skum. MED en sommer-julemand!

In the supermarket we found juli- candy. Funny, because Christmas is Jul, and July is called Juli. The bag even had a summer-Santa.


Der var INGEN balloner på rulletrappen! (Nogen, der kan gennemskue hvorfor det et forbudt?)

There were NO balloons on the escalator. (I have no idea why that was not allowed!)


Vel hjemme igen fik jeg også strikket. Sjalet er næsten færdigt og skønt at strikke, hvis man fryser lidt!

Back home again I knitted some more on my shawl. It's almost finished and really lovely to knit if it is a little cold!
