The Story of a Pair of Mittens

Tenkte jeg skulle strikket et par votter. Har egentlig ingen spesielle i tankene. Kanskje jeg rekker å strikke opp et lager med diverse ting så jeg kan stå på et marked? Jeg har aldri stått på et marked noen gang. Kunne ha vært interessant. Vel, selv om jeg har et tosifret antall med prosjekter liggende et rundt omkring starter jeg på et par votter. Jammen er det lenge siden jeg har strikket votter med mønster. Gøy å strikke, dessuten gikk det kjappere enn jeg hadde trodd.

I thought about knitting a pair of mittens. Didn't have anyone in particular in thought, but maybe I would have time to knit a lot of mittens and maybe I should go to a market and sell my stuff? I have never sold anything I made at a market. It could be interesting to try. Well, even though my WIPs are counting over ten, I started yet another project, the mittens. It's a long time since my last pair of mittens with a pattern. Fun to knit, and I actually knitted them faster than I expected.


Alt var fint og greit, men så skulle jeg strikke tommel nummer to. Finn en feil.

Everything was allright, but then I was about to start on the second thumb. Find one mistake.


Jeg hadde greid det igjen. Husket plutselig hvorfor jeg strikket så mange Mitered Mittens og ikke votter med mønster. Tomlene!!! Alltid vanskelig å huske og speilvende mønsteret. Takk og pris hadde jeg nok garn til å strikke to votter til.

I had done it again. Suddenly it came back to me, the reason I knitted so many pair of Mitered Mittens and not mittens with pattern. The thumbs!!! I always have difficulty turning the pattern to fit the thumbs. Thank goodness I had enough yarn for two more mittens.



Og tenk jeg husket å speilvende mønsteret på begge de neste vottene. Nå mangler to tomler og festing av tråder.


And with the last two lefties in mind I remembered to turn the pattern and knit to righties. Now I have to knit two thumbs and weave in all threads.
