Prosjekt nr 1 ble et tovet sitteunderlag, strikket i striper av Fritidsgarn, Eskimo og trippel finullgarn. Oi oi oi så digert, tenkte jeg da det var ferdig strikket - men etter toving i 60 grader ble resultatet et snertent lite underlag :-) God tur!
It is a great challenge for me to sit still most of the time - almost impossibe. So I just have to make sure I am doing something while beeing stuck sitting down :-) I have several baskets filled with yarn of different origin, and have decided that during this period I will use much of the yarn for something more or less useful.
Project no.1 was a felted pillow to bring along on trips, knitted in stripes of different woolen yarn. By golly, it really looked humongeous when I was done knitting! But after a round in the washing machine at 60 degrees, it turned out nice and small - just right for a small buttock to sit on :-) Bon voyage!
The project I am working on now is a braided pillow fram Tine Solheim's Maskeball. The book is crammed with gorgeous pictures and fantastic creations, not all of them completely to my liking, but my oh my how wonderful!

In addition I have plenty of time to read. I just started reading Knit Two, the sequel to The Friday Night Knitting Club, and I know I am going to enjoy this book immensely :-) (I do prefer to read in English to keep the language up-to-date.) What great joy to make a nice cup of tea, curl up under a quilt - not easy to curl up with the foot high up on a pillow however - and move myself mentally to Walker & Daugther at Manhattan's West Side... I just hope this book does not have the same sad ending as the first one!

Hei! Så glad jeg ble for å lese at det har kommet en ny bok om fredags-strikkeklubben da. Det visste jeg ikke!!Har tatt vare på muffinsoppskriften fra den første, men har ikke prøvd den enda. Håper det går bra med foten din. JEg er redd jeg havner i samme situasjon om en stund - men ting tar tid i helsevesenet vårt!! God bedring.
