Slipover - "Strikkepindene smitter af"

     Min vest nummer to kalder jeg Strikkepindene smitter af.
     Jeg fik de her strikkepinde i julegave. Og nej, der er ikke fem af hver, dels havde jeg nogen i forvejen, dels er nogen "på arbejde" dels er der én pind der leger gemmeleg, men man kan sagtens se de vidunderlige farver.

🧶 -- 🧶-- 🧶

 My second slipover I called The Bleeding Knitting Needles.

I got these knitting needles for Christmas. I had bought some before, some are occupied with knitting, and one is always missing, so no there's not five of each. But you can clearly see the wonderful colours.

Så farvede jeg de her nøgler garn. Og et til.

🧶 -- 🧶-- 🧶


Then I dyed this yarn.

Og et til. -- 🧶-- and one more hank,

 Så strikkede jeg. Jeg genbrugte og tilpassede Stockholm slipoveren fra Petiteknit. Opskriften virker, det er kun mig, der er langsomt opfattende, og måtte læse den virkeligt mange gange - mindst 4 - for at forstå den.

-- 🧶-- 🧶-- 🧶--

Then I knit. Using - and modifying - the pattern called Stockholm slipover from Petiteknit. The pattern is good - only I had to read it at least four times to really understand - It must be something in my head ...

     Men se, hvordan farverne fra strikkepindene løber ud i garnet. Det ser virkelig ud som om pindene smitter af.
     Snart, meget snart kommer der et billede af den færdige slipover
-- 🧶-- 🧶-- 🧶--

And look at this, it really looks as if the needles are bleeding their colour unto the knitwork.

Soon, very soon I promise a photo of the finished slipover.

    1. Thank yo. Right now it is too hot for woollen slipovers, but next week should be cool - even in the middle of summer it is seldom over 20-25 degrees here for more than a week at a time. Sun-loving me thinks it bad, but the garden will be hatty with cool and rain.

    1. I look forward to it as well, and as I answered Messymimi, I think those needles are sold all over the world. They make me happy when knitting with those colours.
      Here's a link to their European site: KnitPro

  4. I looked at those very needles one time but they cost too much and of course I have a ginormous stash anyway, so could not justify purchase. I love the case and your project and your dyed yarn.

    1. We had a special offer - and a voucher, so I had them for Chrstmas - the ones I had in advance were bought second hand - that's how I fell in love with them ;)
      The case is homemade, as is the yarn.
      Thank you very much!
