I was NOT pleased at all. Sadly there is nothing I can do about the many holes in the cardigan. I can't seem to figure out any way to save it...
So, if any of you have a great solution, then do let me know.
The most ironic part is, that I took of the cardigan when I was going to give Otto food. I didn't want him to pull out a thread of yarn!
Ååååå! Veldig, veldig kjedelig!
ReplyDeleteAwwww - poor little Otto is trying his best to pull the famous cocker spaniel 'I am SOOO inncocent' look the best he can.
ReplyDeleteooohhhh nnnnoooo! this is so not cool!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Doggie ♥ The most important thing is...nothing happened to Otto while destroying the cardigan...a cardigan can be replaced but Otto ??

Oh my, I would be heartbroken. It looks like an amazing cardigan.
ReplyDeleteOh no. Oh no. Oh no. This is terrible. Just awful - hope your dog is fine... LOL!!
ReplyDeleteBUT - you could knit one yourself. This pattern is exactly the same as in your cardigan: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/peony-sweater
Seyfart may have copied that pattern...
Good luck!!
Unbearable - so much work to shreds... what a pity.
ReplyDeleteDet eneste positive der er at sige i den sag er, at Otto har god smag;))
ReplyDeleteKan du ikke klippe fine stykker ud af resterne og strikke dem ind i din helt egen model.
Det vil helt sikkert også være supersmukt hvis du valker og laver tasker eller puder af resterne.
Ohhhhh, OTTO! I don't know what to do about it, maybe you make something out of it? I know it wont be the same not to wear it as a cozy, warm and beautiful cardigan but still...
ReplyDeleteI hope apart from the unhappy day you are doing fine my dear.
Sending warm wishes and hugs to you,
Nina
naaaaiiiii...! øv, dumme hund! ihvertfald lige i dag - og måske også lidt i morgen :O(
ReplyDeleteDer er ikke andet for: Du må ha' fat i en ny... altså ikke en ny hund, men en ny cadigan. Simpelthen ;O)
Åhhh, dumme dumme Otto - lige igår i alle tilfælde - og stakkels dig! Men måske er det nu mulighederne åbner sig! for ikke at ligne alle de andre i denne model! Jeg holder med HANNE og synes at du skal nappe de bedste stykker uden hulle fra og så se at være klreativ med dem - det ku sørme være dejligt at se det smukke strik på en helt anden vis... og a pro pos Seyfarth så synes jeg på en eller anden vis netop at det var en smule...forstemmende på festivallen på Fanø at vi alle så næsten så ens ud som vi kunne blive - hvad enten det var i de stærke farver af Christels eller med Camomillen, FLS'en eller hvilken som helst anden "fælles" strikkemodel på. Det var en saglig fryd af inspiration og GLÆDE når man af og til stødte på een der var anderledes, nytænkt, skabt af kreativitet og med sans for strik... ikke et ondt ord om de dygtige designere vi alle nyder godt af findes - men... nå ja, det kan også blive for kedeligt at alt er ens, ikke? Så jeg vil ÆLSKE at se din fine tr´øje i nytænkt brug! tak til Otto i så fald...
ReplyDeleteJa, det var bare SÅ træls, Merete. Dumt af mig at jeg lode den ligge et sted, så Otto kunne tage den. Men nu gælder det om at se hvad der så kan laves af min hullede cardigan. :))
ReplyDelete.............
You are so right, Cille. :)) That was the exact look he had after the the cardigan was taken away from him. I tell you, that he would have loved to keep it for another little while. ;))
................
Ooooohhhhh yyyyyeeeeesss, Claudia! The cool factor was way below zero, when I found out that he had my beautiful cardigan in his mouth. ;))
I wonderf how on earth he got to make so many holes in so little time. But now i will try to make the best of what's left. :))
.............
Thank you so much, Geraldine. :)) He is such a loving and caring dog, and I love that dog. (Eventhough he can be annoying).
And you are right, nothing can replace Otto. He and I are a lot together during the day - Iit's nice to have some company while they others are at work and in school. :))
...............
It was an amazing cardigan, Oiyo. I have used it so much. It's perfect for the period of time when summer turns to autumn, and winter turns to spring. :))
But maybe I should see this as an opportunity to get a new piece of knitwear. :))
...............
It was bad for sure, Lone. Otto didn't loose a tooth or something like that during his act of "crime". ;))
It's really nice and funny that you mention the pattern from Solveig Hisdal (I love her book). I have wondered whether it wasn't the same pattern used for her sweater. christel Seyfarth must have been highly inspired by that.
Anyway thanks a lot for the idea to knit a new one. :))
............
It is a pitty, Sidsel. I bought the cardigan about 5 years ago. I didn't buy it as a kit, but as a finished cardigan which was made by order, so luckily it isn't the result of many, many hours of knitting by hand.
ReplyDeleteBut it must have taken quite a lot of time anyway with all the pattern and details. :))
.................
Hanne, hvor er det dejligt at du straks så muligheder i min temmelig flossede cardigan. ;))
Dine ideer satte gang i en helt ny tankerække, og bragte mig væk fra tanken om en repareret cardigan.
Tusind tak for det. :)))
..............
Otto did a bad move that day, Nina but it was hard to blame anyone but myself in the end.
I will try to make something out of it. There are still some pieces which are untouched, so I will try to create something from them and maybe some other materials.
Besides that i'm fine. A bit tired though. I didn't go to sleep before 6 in the morning, because I waited for Anne-Sophie to text me from L.A. They have arrived and were so happy to be there. :))
Next week Emil is off school on autumn break. I look forward to that.
I hope that you are all doing great, and that the 2 kindergarten children are loving it.
Take care
Lots of hugs
Ulla :))

Jeg må indrømme, at jeg synes også at Otto var lidt dum den eftermiddag. Deraf overskriften. Men han er forlængst tilgivet. Og jeg har fået mig en lærestreg. ;))
(Gid den dog ikke havde kostet så mange penge i det mindste).
Jeg kommer helt sikkert til at mangle den cardigan i efteråret og foråret, Rosanna. Den var så hurtig og nem at tage på i farten, og så var den dejlig varm med sit dobbelte lag tråde.
Så en ny må findes. :))
............
Jeg kan sagtens forestille mig hvor træls det må have været, at alle bar de samme designs til festivalen på Fanø. (Og af præcis den samme årsag tager jeg aldrig hjemmelavet tøj på til udstillingerne på Håndarbejdsskolens udstillinger!)
Og faktisk synes jeg at lidt af det særlige er gået af Christel Seyfarths modeller. Selvom jeg holder meget af dem alligevel.
Dengang jeg købte min cardigan for godt 5 år siden, var hun ikke særlig kendt. Jeg læste om hende i et blad dengang og fandt hendes hjemmeside. Og cardiganen blev bestilt netop fordi den var så anderledes end det så mange andre havde.
Hun strikkede den på maskine efter den var bestilt, og jeg fik min flotte cardigan sammen med det fineste lille kinesiske skrin, som hun havde haft med hjem fra en rejse til Kina. Og særlig fik cardiganen lov til at være i et par år. ;))
Men jeg skal love for, at der har været vind i sejlene for hendes design siden.
Så selv det anderledes blev almindeligt...
Jeg blev så glad for Hannes forslag, for selvfølgelig skal resterne forvandles til noget nyt! Jeg er meget hooked på en taske, men nu må vi se hvad det ender med. :)) Længe leve forskelligheden - og måske længe leve Ottos omrokering af tråde. :)))
oh otto.oh otto. the look in your eyes tells me you're sorry somewhere deep down in that dog's soul of yours. but what to do with the remnants of the lovely cardigan? i have no idea.
