Hue med øreklapper -- Hat with Earflaps

Den er færdig!
Uglemor havde den på i morges!
Den er varm!

- o 👒😌 o -

The hat is done!
MotherOwl wore it today!
It is warm!

     Men næste dag havde Uglemor ikke hestehale, og uden den til at holde huen på plads, kravlede den langsomt op over ørerne.
     Uglemor  pillede det øverste af pulden op og lavede lidt længere mellem indtagningerne. Nu bliver huen nede om ørerne, selv når Uglemor har fletninger og bevæger sig voldsomt.

But then next day MotherOwl did not tie her hair in a ponytail, and the hat crept upwards.
MotherOwl unraweled the top and re-knit it with a bit more rows between the decreases, this made the top a bit longer.
Now it stays put over the ears even when having my hair in braids and moving violently.

Så nu kan jeg med sindsro linke til      - - 👵 - -    It is done! I can be linking to

Words for Wednesday -- 24 January

Once more late to the party. Here's my story.
The Words for Wednesday in January will be found at Letting the Words Escape. Today's (or rather this Wednesday's) words are:

1 frisbee
2 baseball
3 Winston
4 truce
5 Studebaker
6 diamond

and/or

1 vanish
2 message
3 Tokyo
4 Wanda
5 twist
6 maim

Instead of playing baseball or frisbee with his friends, he had a secret passion for old, historical movies. He loved watching the news reels from old movie theatres. He had witnessed how Winston Churchill acted to arrive at a truce, he had watched Bonnie and Clyde climb in and out of Studebakers, diamonds glittering from fingers, pins and hair.

He felt the dreariness and inadequacy of modern times almost as a physical thing, and more than once he wished he'd been born a century earlier.

One day he had had enough. He felt maimed and hurt by the television and the internet. All they ever shoved him, was the decadent and informal bustle of a world going to hell in a handbasket. He left a note for Wanda, the old cleaning lady, her mother had made him hire for his apartment when he left home. With a twist of his hand, he threw the key into the river and boarded the next plane for Tokyo. He just had to vanish for a time. Hopefully the Japanese with their penchant for forms and etiquette could help him readjust to the world of the living.

Forår på vej - Spring will come

     Her i en vinter, der hidtil ikke rigtig har budt på vintervejr, kun halvvådt og dunkelt novembervejr fra oktober til nu, er det rart at se, at foråret trods alt er på vej.
      I dag er dagen også blevet en hel time længere, så vi har hele  7 timer og 50 minutters dagslys.

- o - 🌦 - o -

The winter so far has not been much of a winter. It has been grey and dreary, without snow and frost to brighten the days.
In these circumstances it's nice to see signs that Spring will arrive in a month or two. The days are longer. Today we've just gained an hour, bringing the daylight hours to a grand total of 7.50 hours.
And MotherOwl found the first eranthis in the garden.

Erantis i Uglemors have.
The archtypic Danish early Spring flower.

    Og inde i domen lever salaten stadig - en af de eneste fordele ved en grå vinter.

- o - 🍃 - o -

The only bright side of a grey winter. The salad inside the dome is still growing.

Yes! DMI siger: Solopgang/solnedgang: 8:27/16:17, dagens længde 7:50, tiltaget 1:00

Morgenfjæs - Morning Faces

     Ugemor er jo gået helt amok med at fremstille flettede kugler. Sidste skud på stammen er Morgenfjæs. Som sagt, så hedder blomsten Pragtsnerle på japansk アサガオ (asagao), der betyder morgen-ansigter.  Derfor er kuglen her i Uglemors hoved kommet til at hedde Morgenfjæs.

- o - 🌸 - o -

MotherOwl has gone a bit overboard making teabag baubles. This one is called Morning faces because - as one of my 3 posts a day-posts told, the Japanese name for Morning Glories, アサガオ (asagao), means morning faces. 

アサガオ, Morgenfjæs, Morning Faces

TUSAL 1 - 17. januar 2018

     Som jeg skrev i min kommentar på Daffycat's blog er mit problem ikke, at jeg har for få hobbyer, ting jeg gerne vil eller materialer til at lave dem med. Mit problem er plads til at opbevare materialerne og endnu mere plads til at bruge dem og så kunne jeg da godt bruge lidt mere tid. Et par ekstra timer mellem klokken 12 og 14 ville være velkomne.
     Derfor er de fleste af mine stumper ikke af tekstil art denne gang. 

- o 🐑 o -

As I said in my comment at Daffycat's blog, it's not hobbies, I'm missing, but room for them.  A little extra time would not be amiss either; a few more hours between 12 and 2 pm. would be much appreciated.
But as a result of my diverse hobbies, most of my ORTs are of non-yarny origin.

- - - - Daffycat's TUSAL - - - -

     Her er de tekstile ender. De stammer fra strikningen af min hue og et mislykket syprojekt.Alle enderne fra 2017 endte jo i to temari, så jeg begyndte på et tomt glas den 1. januar.

- ⺓ - 🐑 - ⺓ -

 Yarny ORTs from the knitting of my earflap hat, and from a failed sewing idea.All the ORTs from 2017 did end up as centres for the two temari, so I began the year with an empty jar.

     Bemærk det nye, fine glas. Det dukkede frem under oprydningen.

- o - 🐼 - 🐌 - 🐼 -o -

Notice the newfound container. Cleaning helps.

- - - - - - - - -

      Og så har jeg puttet alle enderne fra papirkuglerne ned i glasset. Der er mange flere af dem end af garnenderne. Og sikke da nogle farver på en overskyet januardag.

- o - 🌈 - o -

Instead I stuffed all the odds and ends from weaving paper baubles into the glass. There's  a load more, and the colours are perfect for cheering us up on a beak January day.

A new view on the already finished Rainbow bauble and a preview of the coming Morning Glory bauble.

     En ting, der er godt ved den her TUSAL-øvelse. Man passer godt på sine ender, så de ikke bliver spist af støvsugeren. Det vil sige, man rydder op, for at få alle enderne med.

At least one good thing comes from the TUSAL. I have sudenly become very neat, picking up all threads and putting everything back in place so as not to leave any ORTs for the vacuum cleaner.
