The 1st "Djævlehue" is done and the 2nd pale blue one, is on the needles. (The pattern is from "Sødt og Blødt" by Lene Holme Samsøe. )
When I wanted to finish the bright one, I all of a sudden couldn't figure out where to sew or not!
Luckily I have my very own knitting encyclopedia: my mother!
She has knitted for years and years, and in the past we hardly ever saw her without her knitting in her hands, whenever she had a spare moment.
Sadly she no longer knits due to the fact that she had a stoke 7 years ago, and got lame in her right hand side.
Actually she has knitted a scarf since then using "knagerække strik" - with the use of only one hand. I don't know what this specific technique is called in English, but it's done like you see in the picture below.
But my mother hasn't lost her huge experience in crafting...So she could give me a useful piece of advice to move on with the "Djævlehue".
Now I will not start any more knittings before the "Ansigter" and "Stikkelsbær" are done!!! Honestly!
(Oh, how I love the fact, that you can't see whether my fingers are crossed or not ;0) )
Krydesede fingre - uhhadada, Ulla.
ReplyDeleteHar det lidt på samme måde her. Min strikkekurv er fyldt med ufærdige projekter, men jeg er i gang med oprydningen.
Dejligt at du har en mor, der er ekspert, det mangler jeg engang i mellem og desværre er jeg den eneste i familien, der elsker at strikke.
Knus fra engen ;-)
Ja, krydsede fingre...det er svært at lade inspirationen hvile!! ;0)
ReplyDeleteJeg arbejder ALTID på flere ting af gangen - både sy & strik. Den skiftende arbejdsstilling er nødvendig for min ryg og nakke. Og så kan jeg bare ikke lade en spændende ting gå forbi....
Jeg påskønner virkelig også min mors ekspertise - og det glæder mig at hun stadig kan hjælpe på rigtig mange måder på trods af sit handicap.
Mange hilsner
Ulla
