Magpie Letters / Skjærebrev

norsk nederst

I'm going to take it down now, the ribbon with letters that our grandtwins wrote to the magpies that came to the bird feeders outside the window. It's been hanging there a long time, and it started when they placed drawings on the terrace for the birds.

There the drawings got wet or blew away, and we agreed that the birds could read them just as well when they were hung up indoors.

Nå skal jeg ta ned sløyfen med brev som barnebarna laget til skjærene som kom til fuglematerne utenfor vinduet. Den har hengt der lenge, og det begynte da de la tegningene sine ut på terrassen til fuglene.

Der ble tegningene våte, eller de blåste bort, så vi ble enige om at fuglene kunne lese dem like godt gjennom vinduet.

Tunisian Scrap Blankie

Made from scraps with a double-ended Tunisian hook ... the hook I used here was a crochenit hook.

Laget av restegarn med tokrokshakkenål - den jeg brukte her, er en crochenitkrok - et ukeblad lanserte teknikken som "strikkehekling" for lenge siden.

chevron jacket // vinkeljakke

To make this shape, I start doing a raglan increase from the top, but I just skew it a bit so the seams come in front, in back and on top of the shoulders.
The arms are partly done in tubular tunisian ... if you want to make a sweater, you can make most of it tubular.

(The pictures are of the unblocked jacket on the friend I had made it for)


Jeg begynner med en vanlig raglanøkning i halsen, men snur den så jeg får en søm midt foran og en midt bak. Ermene er rundhakket; du kan rundhakke bolen også hvis du lager en genser.

(Venninnen som fikk jakka står modell  før den er helt ferdig)
