April-socks and my secret not so friendly friend

Jeg har gjort ferdig april-sokkene. De ble veldig fine, selv om de ble litt sukkertøyaktige. Jeg strikket dem i Lana Grossa. Kan hende det blir flere sokker med dette mønsteret, for det var et morsomt mønster å strikke.

I have finished the April-socks. They are great, even though the color are a bit candyflosslike. I knitted them in Lana Grossa. It might be more socks with this pattern, cause this pattern was fun to knit.

Jeg har fått meg en hemmelig u-venn. Inne på Hobbyboden har vi startet en hemmelig u-venn-runde. Det går ut på at man skal finne fram garn man ikke liker og sende videre. Litt risikabelt å melde seg på kanskje? Jeg har nå mottatt min pakke, og ja, jeg vet ikke helt hva jeg skal si. Det er Snowflake, men tulla har tatt av magebeltet. Tulla syntes forøvrig garnet var veldig mykt og godt. Hun syntes jeg kunne strikke en kjole til henne, men det utgår nok. Skal heller strikke en poncho til dukka hennes med tid og stunder.

I have got myself a secret not so friendly friend. At Hobbyboden we have a thing going our ugly yarn, the yarn you can't believe you actually bought, but it's yarn so you can't throw it away. But what to do? This is the solution, you just start a new discussion at a forum and suddenly there are a lot of you who wants to ship your ugly yarn away. It doesn't have to be ugly, it could be that you just had it for so long that you realise that you are never going to use it and want somebody else to use it. Well, I got my packet with a skein of yarn. Honestly, I don't know what to say. My daughter thought it was so soft and wanted me to knit her a dress. Don't think so. I'm not going to buy more of that yarn, Snowflake. But I will knit a poncho for her doll.
