Me a hufflepuff c,")

Want to Get Sorted?
I'm a Hufflepuff!

Hufffepuff















Det går virkelig hurtigt med Huffelerne, som de kaldes i hjemmelig tale.
Jeg var lidt i tvivl om hvordan jeg skulle lave overgangen fra hælen, samt underfoden - jeg endte med striber, de kunne sikkert gøres mere fine i forhold til indtagningerne, men jeg er hverken professionel strikker, eller alvidende. Måske lure jeg tricket en dag.
bund i grund er jeg mere end tilfreds, de bliver herrefede. Orn'li sej ville mine kære elever sige.

The Huffles, as we call them in the house, is almost knitting them self, they are so fast to knit.
I were a bit in doubt about the gusset and the buttom of the foot, I ended up with stripes. the decreses could be better, I just don't know how. But then I'm not a proffessionel knitter nither do I know all, perhaps some day I know how to do it properly.















Når nu vi taler om solen... I denne tid er jeg med mine elever på teknisk skole i servicefagene. I dag prøvede de den som negle teknikkere. jeg fik lagt denne fantastiske neglkunst af to at mine piger, der kæmper lidt med det motoriske.
Det har været en fantastisk sjov dag, at få 15-16 årige drenge til at tegne en skitse til hvordan de gerne vil dekorere deres negle og udføre jobbet er sjovt. Først var der en masse protester, senere var der stor fordybelse i dekorationen, for dernæst at tage billeder. OG så skulle det også af og det i en fart, det er jo ikke godt for ens gangstar attitude. ;-)

Speeaking of the weather... These days I'm with my class at the technial college for service trade. The days task were nail technical. I've got this wonderfull nail polish by two of my girls with motor skills problems.
It have been so funny to se the 15-16 years old bous dooing eachothers nails, at first they vere wery protesting against it, later on they were all in to it, making wery wery decoraded nails, taking a lot pictures. AND then removing it wery fast - Nail polish is not good for their gangstar image. ;-)

Ravenclaw VS Hufflepuff
















Det tredje mønster af de fire Hogwardshouse sokker, er på pindene, denne gang er det hufflepuff, der er slået op til. Jeg fandt på mønsteret her i påskeferien.

The third pattern of the four Hogwardshouse socks are on the needles. This time it's the Hufflepuff pattern I have cast on for. I made up the pattern in the easter hollydays.
















Ravenclaw er stadig på pindene, jeg pukler lidt med hælkilen, jeg vil gerne have min hæl indtagning i det gyldne garn, men stadig biholde striberne. Den er svær, forsøger nu med 3 garner hele vejen rundt, men det tror jeg bliver for tykt.

The Ravenclaw socks are still on the needles, Im having som truble with shaping the gusset. I'd like to keep the gusset in the golden yarn, but still dooing the stripes. Now Im knitting with 3 yarns, think its going to be a bit to thick...

Sockdown march

Jeg har meldt mig til et lille sokke projekt på Ravelry, hvor jeg skal strikke et par sokker enten i nerverkont, eller af designeren Ann Budd, jeg valgte Ann.


Strømpen er stadig undervejs, det udgår ikke tydeligt af billedet at der her er tale om både snoninger og hulmønster. Farven er heller ikke tydelig nok, strømpen er mere karry gul, end der her vises.

I have signd on to a sock down projekt on Ravelry, where I could chose between a entralack or a Ann Budd patteren. I chose Ann.

Im still knitting on the first sock, its not easy to se on the picture, but it got it all, cables and lacepattern. The collour is also a bit wron, its more a curry yellow.

This bag is an OLD project, wich have been hypersewing for about a year now. But now its out, and ready to lay under the machin needle agin.

Fire walk with me



På skolen har vi en del møder i denne tid, da vi er fussions ramte, specialrækken jeg arbejder i skal flyttes ud i den anden ende af byen.

På det sidste møde fik jeg startet på disse lækre sokker i Garnstudios fabel sokke garn. De matcher tilfældigvis det billede jeg har malet til Michael i fødselsdagsgave.

Nu er det bestemt ikke fordi møderne er kedelige jeg strikker, nærmere det modsatte, de er spændende, men uden noget i hænderne mister jeg ofte fokus. Man er vel altid lidt træt efter en dag med undervisning.

In these days there art a lot of meeting activity on my job, there for i've started these easy socks. I need knitwere to keep focus. The painting is somthing I did for Michaels birthday.

Slytherin VS Ravenclaw

Slytherin sokkerne er nu 80% færdige, glæder mig til at give manden dem snart. Ved han glæder sig til nye sokker.



The Stlyherin socks are 80% don, I'm looking foevard to giving them to my mann. I know he always are happy for new socks.


Med Ravenclaw går det bare der ud af, mønstret er super nemt - altså lige ind til de er møj sting (maskesting) det går så ret dårligt. Men hvad mon ikke også det bliver pænt, når man har prøvet det er par gange (på noget andet end sokkerne)

The Ravenclaw socks are almost knitting them self, the pattern are so easy. But I hate the stitch embrodery, I suck at that. So I have to praktise.

Ravenclaw

Det næste skud på stammen i Harry Potter sokke kvartetten, er Ravenclaw sokkerne.

the next pice of the harry Potter sokke quartet is the Ravenclaw. socks.

Nogen tænker nok; "hey var tossen ikke igang med nogle Slytherin" Og jo, det er jeg, men har brug for tv strik, der kommer jo Heros i aften.

Some may think what about the Slytherin socks? all I can say, Heros is on the telly tonigth, and I need something simple.





Jeg har tænkt mig at brodere bogstaverne på, det samme gælder fuglen under foden.

im going to do the letters in needlework, the same with the bird under the foot.

Jeg er meget spændt på udfaldet, bare lidt ked af at den lokale garnpucher ikke havde orange arwetta, gylden går nok også.

Im wery exited to se the result, just a bit sad due to that my local yarn pucher did not have any orange arwetta, golden has to do.

Crap


Hmm... dybt suk - hvornår lære jeg at skrive ned hvordan jeg gjorde, når jeg nu altid glemmer det...? Dette er hælen på sok 1. SPÆNDENDE om hælen på sok 2 bliver som den!

Crap - when do I learn to write down what I do - curse I always forget. This et the heel on sock 1. EXCETING to see if sock 2 turns out like that!






Men - men - mon ikke det går, ind til nu ser det godt ud.

Well - Well - Im sure, that it will be just fine, for now it's looking rather good.











Ja tingene bliver jo ikke sådan strikket færdigt med det samme det er kommet på pindene, denne sag har ligget lidt. Har dog også måtte starte forfra, jeg er altså ikke en sylfide... men heller ikke tung i det.. bare lige lidt i mellem. Kvinde agtig ;-)

Well things does not get don qutckly when I'm dooing it, this has been hyperknitting for some time. I evan had to start over due to me not beeing skinny... and then not fat eigther. just in between - womanish ;-)

Tilbage til sokkerne - Back to the socks





















Nu hvor Lavenderen er af pindene, er jeg på de herlige Slytherin sokker igen. Jeg er næsten færdig med intarsia (gobelin) stykket på den anden sok. Normalt ville sokken så hurtig blive færdig, dette er ikke tilfældet, hælen er nemlig noget af et arbejde.


Now with the Lavender done, i'm on the Slytherin socks agin, I an almost done with the intarsia part on the second sock. In the usual case, the sock would almost knit it self fro her, and be over soon. That is not the case, the heel part is quit a job.





















Se hvor vi hygger i "Den Røde Tråd" -

Look how cozy in knitting café.
