Høstgenser

Endelig ferdig!

Håndarbeid er aldri lett. Da jeg tok ut farger til genseren i sommer valgte jeg mørk brun til reinsdyrene. Godt i gang med strikkingen ble det etter hvert klart at mørk brun og mørk grønn ikke fungerte. Brunfargen forsvant. Dermed var det bare å rekke opp, og starte på nytt. Beige reinsdyr er egentlig mer naturtro. Nå lyser de opp. Veldig bra!

Hjemmestrikket Sommerjakke - Summer Knits

Lavendel er en superfin delikat sommerfarge.

Härliga sommar!

Jag bjuder :)

Oi, så gla man blir over naturens små mirakler:)

Sommar vindar blåser höga temperaturer, (25 grader Celsius. Jag är inte säker, men jag tror att det är lika med 77 grader på Fahrenheit metriska skalan system), från Finland, men i ett ögonblick kan det ändras. En super tunn, men varm Alpacka ull kofta är bra skydd när man njuter utomhus, och kyliga vindar från norr plötsligt visas. Det är stickat i en delikat mjuk violett färg med vanliga stygn och Strumpst 4. För att lägga till vissa detaljer och mönster stygn pärla vid kragen, i slutet av armarna och framtill.

Summer winds are blowing warm temperatures, (25 degrees Celsius. I´m not sure, but I think this is equal to 77 degrees on the Farenheit metric scale system), from Finland, but in a moment it may change. A super thin, but warm, Alpaca wool cardigan is great protection when enjoying outdoors, and chilly winds from the north suddenly appears. It is knitted in a delicate gentle pale violet color (lavendel) using regular stitches, and double pointed needles size 4. To add some details and pattern pearl stitches at the collar, at the end of the arms and in front.

Norsk skigenser - Nordic Sweater - 100% wool

Nordic sweaters have an interesting history. Originally, Nordic sweaters only came in black or white. These were the natural colors of sheep´s wool. Soon sweaters became high fashion, and people began combining other colors. Next knitters began experimenting with patterns, but usually on the very top of the sweaters because Nordic people tucked their sweaters down into baggy pants. Later, more intricate patterns emerged as people decided to combine function with fashion and wear their Nordic sweaters to events such as church.
