2 beautiful books came in a flat envelope today - from Århus. I thought that I had ordered them in
I must be getting older, since I can't remember things like that or perhaps my mind is too preoccupied at the moment. I almost know that it's the latter...
The first book is a funny little one - the kind which I adore. Strikkede striber forår.
It's inspiring to see how the 2 authors think of knitting in another way, and that it doesn't has to be about making clothes when you knit.
Maybe you remember a book with a similar title, which I mentioned last autumn. It's the same 2 women who have written this new book about more stripes.

Nordiske Masker 2 was the other one of the knitting books. I absolutely love the colour scheme which has been used for the models in this book.

2 smukke bøger kom i en flad hvid konvolut i dag - fra Århus. Jeg troede at jeg havde bestilt dem i København, men i stedet for var det hos Tøndering Strik i Århus. En fantastisk butik.
Jeg må være ved at blive gammel, siden jeg ikke kan huske den slags ting, eller også er min hjerne bare optaget af andre ting i øjeblikket. Jeg ved næsten at det skyldes det sidstnævnte.
Den første bog er en sjov lille en - den slags jeg holder af. Strikkede striber forår.
Det er inspirerende at se hvordan de to forfattere tænker på dét at strikke på en anderledes måde, og at det ikke nødvendigvis behøver at handle om tøj når man strikker.
Måske kan du huske, at jeg nævnte en bog med en lignende titel i efteråret. Det er de samme 2 kvinder der har skrevet denne nye bog om striber.
Nordiske Masker 2 var den anden af strikkebøgerne. Jeg elsker simpelthen farveskemaet der er brugt til modellerne i denne bog.
It has been so enjoyable visiting your blog and catching up on the posts I have missed. Thanks to you I have now seen some knitting books I didn't know about which is ALWAYS a good thing! I like seeing what inspires you.
ReplyDeleteHave a peaceful, happy weekend.

Stephanie, thanks a lot for your sweet comment. It made me happy that you are back. :))
DeleteAnd I'm glad that you got a bit of new inspiration for more knitting books to buy. There are so many wonderful ones out there.
I hope that you have a lovely week as well.

All of my grandparents were from Denmark, and I used to be quite fluent in Danish. We currently have a Danish foreign exchange student at the school where I teach, and I've learned that I've forgotten quite a bit of it. I asked her the other day, "Stirkke du?" but I pronounced it phonetically like an American would. She couldn't figure out at first what I was asking, ha, ha.
ReplyDeleteAnywya, I'm thinking that I may need to order one of those books, so I can "spruce" up my Danish a little!
That sounds like a brilliant idea, Caroline. Books are always a good source for refreshing a language. :))
DeleteHow fun that you have Danish grandparents - and so cool that you used to speak Danish. It's quite a difficult language to learn. That's what must foreigns say. :))
The story about your exchange student reminds me of when I lived in London as an aupair. My family there had a lot of difficulty pronouncing my name Ulla - it sounded like the Danish boy's name Ole when they said it. ;)
Inspirerede striber... Jeg strikker ikke men tænker straks på hvordan det kan laves som en quilt :)
ReplyDeleteSikke en god idé, Cille. Det tror jeg kunne blive flot. :))
DeleteJeg er vild med de 2 bøger om strikkede striber. Jeg vil rigtig gerne strikke de små æggebægere. De er så festlige og fine. :))
Lækre bøger. Jeg synes striberne ser sjove ud, især de bulede på tekanden, de minder mig om en pude min oldemor havde :0)
ReplyDeleteDet er de, Hanne og fulde af sjove og anderledes idéer. Og ikke særlig indviklede at lave. Jeg sværmer for striber...og prikker og tern. ;)
DeleteDet er så fint, som ting nogle gange får os tilbage i tid og sted. Det har garanteret været en skøn pude din oldemor havde. :))
Den siste bokens ser spesielt fin ut. Håper du ikke har alt for mye å gruble på...
ReplyDeleteGod Fredag!
