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!
I tillegg er det mye tid til å lese. Nå har jeg nettopp begynt på Knit Two, oppfølgeren til The Friday Night Knitting Club, og vet at jeg kommer til å kose meg stort med den nye boka :-) (Jeg foretrekker å lese på engelsk for å holde språket ved like.) Da er det bare å lage en god kopp te, og krølle seg opp - ikke helt lett med foten høyt plassert på ei pute - under et slumreteppe og forflytte meg mentalt til Walker & Daugher på Manhattans West Side... håper bare at denne boka har en hyggeligere slutt enn den første!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!
