Selv samme Kathrine Frey Frøslie har også en blog, hvor hun fortæller om statistik, strik, hækling og løst og fast. Den er meget inspirerende.
Hun fortæller blandt andet om cirkelstrik, hvor hun strikker fine cirkler med vendestrik. I hendes version bliver det til appelsinskiver, lagkagediagrammer, #detendergodt-siddeunderlag og meget andet. Hos Uglemor bliver cirkler naturligvis til svampe.

A couple of days ago the Writer showed me a video that one of his Norwegian colleagues had shared with him. It was about statistics, Covid19, knitting and crocheting. How do you combine this and make sense? Watch the video.
This lovely lady, Kathrine Frey Frøslie, has a blog as well where she speaks of statistics, knitting, crocheting and a lot of other things. It is a very inspiring blog.
She's doing a thing called circular knitting, using short rows to knit perfect circles. In her version it turns into pie charts, orange slices, #everythingwillbealright pillows and much more. When MotherOwl met circular knitting, the result of course was mushrooms.

Et par billeder. Uglemor har strikket i toget i dag - det kan ses på baggrunden af det første billede
A few photos. MotherOwl was knitting in the train. The background for this first circle is a train seat.
The underside of a mushroom to be, knit in garter stitch like all Kathrines cirkles. It's quite fiddly with needles no. 3 and thin cotton yarn. This makes Kathrine's nice circular-module-computations go awry. I canst on 12 stitches and turned after 4, this should give me 4*7 = 28 segments, but there's many more; approximately 34, it's hard to count then as well.
Til hatten passede beregningen perfekt. Jeg vendte med 3 masker og nåede 21 kiler, før jeg var rundt. Selvfølgelig måtte jeg prøve med glatstrikning.
Svampen her er en farveblind spanskgrøn bredblad. Farven er mere ovre i det pink i virkeligheden.
For the top of the cap the computations were perfect. Turning with three I made it to 21 segments. And of course I had to try my hand at circular stockinette knitting.
The mushroom is a colour-blind verdigris agaric, the colour is more pinkish IRL.
Her er svampens underside efter sammensyningen. Nu mangler jeg bare at samle masker op og strikke en stok ud fra hullet i bunden.
The mushroom sewn together and seen from below. Now I can pick up stitches around the hole, and knit a stem.
Awe, wonder and delight. Thank you.
SvarSletWow. Knitting in circles, i had no idea how that was done.
