Hsks7 - The Hogsmead visit

At Saturday the 21st the whole of Hogwarts went to visit Hogsmead.

I got myself some protective yarnnifflers to watch all my yarn - these are pretective for all kinds of yarn bugs...

Just remember for feed them with cutoff yarn and they will never eat any of my stash.

I hope!

Who tougth me to knit and when?
My cousin Maya and I went to se our grandperants each summer trough all our childhood. Our Grandmother were a great knitter, always knitting. I think Maya and I were abut 5 years old, when Søren and elder cousin were wissiting us at our grandmothers house, he too were knitting... Now we wanted to knit too.

So Me at one side of Søren and Maya at the other, needles and yarn were handed out, and hi tougth us...

We knitted a lot of squars that summer all of them were turned in to barbie sweaters.

Maya and I are still knitting, im not sure of Søren, have to ask him...

A few years ago I made a pattern for some yogi-pants, after that I have sew'en quit a few of them. Now im thinking of knitting a pair. The inspiration for that I got form my all time faveorite danish designer Bente Geil aka Geilsk - she is working on a pattern for pants, I have seen some of the pictures, and I simply cant wait for the pattern. So now im on to making a pattern for knitted yogi-pants my self.





















The stencil i made on the pants.


















The pattern.

Den anden dag dumpede denne skønne gave ind af døren, PIF stod der i kortet, jeg tænkte hvad f er PIF...

Sanne kunne heldigvis minde mig om, hvad sagen drejede sig om...

Det skal siges at jeg fik sved på panden, for jeg kunne slet ikke huske, hvem der havde svaret på mit blog indlæg, hvem skulle jeg sende til. - ingen viste det sig, for ingen havde svaret...

Hvor heldig kan man lige være???
