Slippers for my youngest

My youngest son just started preschool class and the classroom is in the basement of the big school and the floors are so cold.
I asked my son to pick out some colors and then I knitted these slippers for him the wear when he's in school.
I bought some latex in a bottel and with a brush I painted latex under the sole. It was perfekt.

Before

After

Jeg har haft en lille pause / I have had a little break

Jeg har haft sommerferie og må heller indrømme, at jeg ikke har siddet meget ved computeren denne tid. Kun nydt tiden sammen med børnene og det har været rigtig dejligt.
Selv om ferien kun varede i 2 uger, så har jeg dog også fået strikket en del.
Jeg har fået anorakken færdig, og jeg er meget glad for resultatet.
Her kommer nogle billeder af den i processen og så det færdige resultat.

I have had a short vacation and might just aswell admit, that I havent used the computer much. Just spendt quality time with my boys and we have had so much fun together.
Even though my vacation only lasted 2 weeks, I had gotten some knitting done.
The jacket for my son is finished and I'm very pleased with the result.
Here are some pictures of the jacket, while I'm still knitting on it and the the final result.

Jakken / The jacket

Det går fremad med jakken, men jeg kan allerede se nu, at den bliver meget stor.

Måske den bliver et godt stykke mindre efter tovning *håber*

Jeg er ret spendt på at begynde på ermerne, fordi det er lidt kedeligt at strikke ret op hele tiden. Det er i hvert fald ingen som helst udfordring.

I'm knitting on the jacket and already now, I can see, that it will be very big.

I just have to hope, that it's will be smaller after I have washed it.

Strange as it is I'm really looking forward to begin on the sleeves. At least they are multiple colors. There's no challenge in knitting straight up.

Strikker jakke / Knitting a jacket

Jeg er startet på anorakket. Faktiskt er flere ting i gang nu, men jeg holder modet oppe. Jeg skal komme igennem det hele :)

Denne anorak er dejlig at strikke...det går lidt langsomt, men det er dejligt tv-strik.

I have startet on the jacket. Actually I'm knitting serveral things right now and I have the courage to finished every little thing. I have to make it through.

This jacket is great knitting...it's slow knitting, but very good infront of the tv :)

Denne... / This one...

Denne jakke snakkede/skrev jeg om for lang tid siden. Jeg har længe haft planer om at strikke den, men der er selvfølgelige kommet en masse andre ting i "vejen", så jeg har bare set, hvordan mønsteret går længere og længere ned på listen.

I går var jeg så i en garnbutik sammen med en venninde, og der havde de sådan nogle flotte farver i garnet som denne jakke er strikket af, og så kunne jeg selvfølgelig ikke holde mig fra det, så jeg har købt ind til trøjen og derfor må den strikkes meget snart.

Denne garnbutik er også den eneste som sælger PT2 garn heroppe, og siden jeg er faldet pladask for at strikke og tove med det, ja så måtte jeg også købe lidt af det *hihi*

Mønsteret til jakken findes som gratis mønster på den oprindelige hjemmeside, men den er desværre på færøskt.

A long time ago, this jacket was very high on my "have to do" list, but there have been so many other projekts that the pattern has faded more and more.

Yesterday I went with one of my friends to a yarnshop near by and they had the most beautiful colors in the yarn that this jacket is knitted in, so I couldn't help myself and bought yarn for the jacket.

This shop is also the only one who sells PT2 yarn and since I'm totaly addicted to knit with it, I had to buy some of it too.

The pattern for the jacket is available as a Free pattern on the website, but unfortunately it's only available in faroese language.
