Hsks5 - Dream Swatch

Im making a headband for the next Quidditch match, It were an idea one of the Puff's came up with. I'll poste a picture later on, my camera just need to get some food first ;) back to the knitting.

The picture is here, Look at the little badger paw on my new needles from Miranda Moonstone of Ravenclaw... They are so cute...

The yarn is Opal Hundertwasseres werk 956, I think it got kinde of a Hufflepuff immage.

The Headband is done, love the way this Hundertwassers yarn stripes and makes tiny spots of black.

Its hard to take pictures of one self ;) Ok I know the headband did not match the close I was wering that day...

world knit in publicday - Helsinge

På webstrikkerne havde uldgalleriet inviteret til WKIP-dag. Og tak for det, det var en vidunderlige dag, hvor erfaringer og meninger blev delt i en hjertensvarm stemning.






Ja faktisk var stemningen så god, at der nu er lavet Strikkecafe i Uldgalleriet hver 2. lørdag. Mon ikke det er et besøg eller 10 værd :)









Et gyngefår - er det ikke sødt?







Vi strikkede i 2 grupper i butikken, efter snak om en stoledans (for at mødes med hinanden) blev vi enige om at sidde lidt her og lidt der, hvilket var en perfekt ide.







Og så til det søde, eller skal jeg sige det stærke, dette er verdens nok stærkeste bolcher, de er stærkt vanedannende.

Til alle jer strikkere i Helsinge Tak for sidst. Vi ses helt sikkert igen

Hsks5 - Dueling club + bag design

Im prepering for the sock duel next weeak, this is what I kno from the daily prophet: Im fild up with nerves, there are some serius knitters among us... I hope to last more than one round.

Dueling Club
The yarn type and needle size will be released on Thursday, May 22nd.
These are the people that I have in the club.
Sock Bracket:

Madam Ferula FinniganElanor Cadogan

Enna KirtsLily FlitwickCliodna AcromantulaLucretia PlunkettDanZaraella DaemonovaKaaelana Lassanda AllinadaCallipe CandleworthMinerva KwikspellWisteria LovegoodJalanna KedavraMiranda MoonstoneOphelia BallycastleLaeita Khandylle Haxloeffen-BharnoellAbigail Zinerva


My good friends!I worked the graveyard job Tuesday night (switched with someone), went to the day job yesterday, walked into my house after coming home last night and promptly fell asleep for the next 11 hours!!! Of course, I woke up twice to go to the restroom, but can you believe it??? And in the middle of the week too! So, as I prepare to go back to work I figured that I must get the specifications out to the Dueling Club if nothing else this morning. Don't forget! The pattern will not be released until next week. Today is only for the tools.


Sock Bracket Tools
100 gm sock yarn. Fleece Artist's Merino Sock yarn suggested, but not mandatory. Any sock yarn with 28-30 stitch gauge is fine.
1 set of 2.5 mm double-pointed needles.
Stitch holderColor variations on both patterns do no really matter. The hat pattern has cables, so I would suggest a solid color yarn or else it's hard to see the cable pattern. Don't worry if you haven't done cables before. It's not too hard and they are always a good technique to master :)

Note: I am adding to more names to the sock bracket. Sign ups for the Dueling Club are closed.

Laeita Khandylle Haxloeffen-Bharnoell and Abigail Zinerva

Just a picture of my Hufflepuff bag, hope that I can get it done by the 30. of may
its duble knitting

hsks5 - bag design contest on Ravelry

For et stykke tid siden strikkede jeg denne taske som Tove Fejrø har designet (mønsteret kan købes i Bettedesign). Nu var det bare sådan at jeg var vild med hele ideen i tasken, men endte med at ændre en del (der der kender tasken kan tydeligt se ændringerne).

Og nu har jeg strikket endnu en, med endnu flere ændringer, som en del af en så kaldt Hksk5 taske design konkurence. Min taske er til Ravenclaw huset.
Jeg kalder mønsteret mit, men med stor inspiration fra Tove, derfor er hun både nævnt her og i mønsteret du finder over under mine opskrifter Ravenclaw bag

Tasken er lynhurtigt strikket, det tager omkring 3 Harry Potter film, så er den i hus, altså lige bortset fra filtningen i maskine og stencil trykket.




Sometime ago I knitted the green bag. The pattern is an altred version of Tove Fejrø's bag "Taske med læg" for those who know it, the alterations is easy to se.

Now I have been knitting yet another bag, this time with evan more alterations. Now i think it is my design, but by grate inspration from Tove Fejrø.


The bag is for the Ravenclaw house. Im making it for the Hsks5 bag design contest on Ravelry.

Get the pattern here






The bag is wery easy to knit, it take about 3 Harry Potter Movies, and then there is the felting and the stencil... But the knitting is fast.

Reducio sock - mini sock swap

I've got my mini sock swap paggede to day, the pour owl have been on the way for days, all the way from Virginia in the US.







There were 3 paggeges and a nice letter from Ophelia, aka Jeffifer Walter, who also is in the Hsks5 swap, she is in the house of Slytherin, how fun is that ;)







This is what she have been spoling me with, a nice Hufflepuff hous sock, the most tightly knitted sock I have ever seen, it is so perfect, then there is a tiny sheep for a keychain, and a bee tape measure, it is so cool... There were also some Harry Potter sweets, I don't think we have this in Denmark, love to taste it!

then there is the card, the sweetest card made by her just for me, and with love...



This is more than I have ever thougth that I woud get, I got no words, other than it is the most perfect gift.

Thank you for sending me all this nice stuff!

Hsksawp 5 - my spoiler

I do not think that I rembered to mention the person spoling me this semester on Hagwarts, it is
Miranda Moonstone from the Ravenclaw house, I love the look on her blog you should tjeck it out.

Then there is the person whom I get to spoil Emma Wigworthy I have mentiont her, the reson that I am mention her agin is that she is designing the coolest bag, you have to go to her site to tjeck it out.

Det har været nogle fantastiske sommer dage vi har haft. Det fik sat gang i sokkerne, da de jo er nemme at sidde ude med.

It has been some lovely sommerdays, and I have been knitting on some of my socks, due to them beeing easy knitting outside.














Mine Ravenclaw sokker er stort set færdige, mangler lige lidt broderi, ja og så skal opskriften skrives ind.
