På ønskelisten som jeg sendte til min lillesøster til jul, sto oppført noen ganske åpenbare hint om hva jeg kunne tenke meg til jul. Siden jeg har verdens snilleste lillesøster, ble ønskene mine oppfylt. Jeg fikk Noro Kureyon som jeg har lest om overalt, men ennå ikke prøvd. I tillegg fikk jeg Shanti Silk, altså sari silke garn. Det er så utrolig vakkert! Jeg har ikke brukt noe av sari silken ennå, jeg må spare det til jeg er helt sikker på hva jeg vil bruke det til. Noro Kureyon har jeg strikket med allerede. Jeg fant en oppskrift på en alpelue/beret på Hedvig sin blogg. Hun har oversatt oppskriften til norsk, og fått lov til å publisere den på bloggen sin. Tusen takk til Hedvig og til lillesøster!
On the wish list I sent my little sister before Christmas, I had written some very obvious hints about what I wished for. Since I’ve got the best little sister ever, my wishes were fulfilled. I got Noro Kureyon which I’ve read about so many places, but still haven’t tried. I addition, I got Shanti Silk, that’s sari silk. It’s so incredibly beautiful! I haven’t started using it, because I want to be absolutely sure what I want to use it for. I’ve knitted something of the Noro Kureyon yarn already. I found a pattern for a beret on Hedvig’s blog. Hedvig found the original pattern at the Garter Belt site, and was allowed by the designer of the pattern, Wendy Bernard, to translate it into Norwegian and publish it on her blog. Thank you Hedvig and thank you little sister!
There’s a rumour saying that Santa comes from the North Pole. I’m in doubt about that. I think Santa is a woman, she lives in Texas, and her name is Mary. Just look at the lovely yarn that landed on my doorstep right before Christmas. There were several skeins of yarn, most of it Uros Aran, Peruvian collection, containing 50% highland wool and 50% llama. It’s wonderful! Unfortunately, the pictures here are not good enough, the colours are much better in reality. There was another big surprise in the box, a book called “Norsk strikkedesign”, a collection from Norway's foremost knitting designers. It’s even the version written in Norwegian. The Norwegian language is definitively not associated with any kind of world domination (only 4,5 million inhabitants), so the possibility of getting a book written in Norwegian from Texas has never ever occurred to me. I mean, what are the chances of that? I believe I must have been a good girl since Santa has been so generous this time ;-) Thank you Mary!
