Today's Wordle Ordinary Words can be very Tough ~ Part 2 Sunday Selection & Colour26

Today's Wordle had an answer I'm sure we all know!
I just could not wrap my brain around those letters and have a normal, English word as the result. When finally I got it, I felt very slow.

Klavervagt ~ Piano Guardian

     Vi har en ny klavervagt.
     Troldens klaver, der atter er hjemme i Uglebo, står på en væg mellem to døre. For at dørene ikke skal ramme klaveret, når de lukkes op og i, er der en ugle på vagt i hver ende.
     En af dem var slidt op. Det samme var en af Skribentens gamle skjorter. Men bare fordi en skjorte er slidt på manchetter, krave og andre steder, er der stadig en masse godt stof i den.
     Der var i hvert fald nok til en klavervagt.

     De hvide sting er altså gyldne, og klavervagten er mørkere i virkeligheden.

Og nej, man har ikke brug for øjne for at være en god klavervagt, og heller ikke for at nyde musikken når Trolli er på besøg.

The piano belongs to Trolli. It is now at home in the Owlery again, where it is situated on a wall between two doors. To prevent the doors from hitting, and harming, the piano when opened, we have two piano guardians, one at each end. I hope it is no surprise that they are in the shape of owls.

One of the guardians was worn out, same as an old shirt of the Writer's. But worn out shirts may be worn thin at collar, cuffs and other strategic places, but there's still lots of only slightly worn fabric in a shirt. At least sufficient for a new piano guardian.

The stitches looking white are actually golden, and the guardian is darker than in this photo.

No, you do not need eyes to guard the piano and enjoy the music when Trolli visits.

Owlets on the Wings

Today no poem (yet) but a YouTube video. The three owlets were let out this Saturday.

Gode, dårlige nyheder -- Good, Bad News

     This is my last photo from the OwlTV livestream. Yesterday evening the owlets fought over a root, trying to eat it and the biggest of them took a tumble down the slope. Klaus went there today with the double purpose of picking it up and checking the owlets' health.
    They were dehydrated and starving and were put in crates and carted off to somewhere, where nice people will feed and care for them. When they are able to find their own food, they'll be transported back again.
     Thus ends this year's dramatic live Owlstream with a happy, unhappy ending.

UgleKlaus skriver:
Ugleungerne i UgleTV får ikke føde og væske nok efter uglemorens død. På den baggrund har DOF valgt at bringe ungerne til en vildtplejestation og slukker derfor for UgleTV.
     Læs mere om hjælpen til ungerne og afslutningen på årets UgleTV her.
     Miljøstyrelsen har torsdag formiddag godkendt, at DOF BirdLife kan ”transportere de 3 nødstedte unger til nærmeste vildtplejestation, der kan håndtere ugler”.
     Nu får alle tre unger professionel hjælp og vil blive sat tilbage i redeområdet i grusgraven, når de er udvokset om cirka fire uger og kan klare sig selv, siger Klaus Dichmann, ugleekspert og hovedmand bag UgleTV.
     Dermed er denne dramatiske sæson af UgleTV nu slut for i år. Mange tak, fordi I kiggede med.

Sunday Selection - Eulogy Rewritten.

Det her bliver et indlæg med mange billeder. Jeg tror nemlig at det i uglereden på UgleTV er Uglemor, og ikke Uglefar, der er død, og det vil jeg gerne vise her.

Og Ups, jeg kom til at udgive i stedet for at planlægge. Det bliver stående, men der kommer atlså ikke et nyt i morgen - med mindre jeg finder et super-uglebillede selvfølgelig.

- - - - -

This will be a very picture heavy post. Bear  with me while I tell you why I think it's Mommy owl, not Daddy owl that died in the OwlTV nest.

And oops I published instead of planning this post. Well it stays, but do not expexct a new post tomorrow- unless that is, that I find something really owly-interesting.

Begge ugler, Uglemor i reden mens Uglefar kigger på.
Both owls in the nest, Mommy inside with Daddy watching.

Først en  række billeder af en rugende Uglemor:
To begin with, some picthures of an incubating Mommy owl:

Så mit sidste billede af Uglemor. Desværre er hun næsten skjult af det grønne, men det skulle med.
My last picture of Mommy owl. I'm sorry she's half hidden by the greenery, but I had to show this.

12. juni 2022 kl. 13.42

Tre små ugleunger alene hjemme og venter på mor eller far.
Three little owlets waiting for mom or dad to show up.

12. juni 2022 kl. 20.50

     Fra de næste fire dage har jeg kun et par billeder af nuttede ugleunger alene i reden. Den overlevende ugle kom forbi flere gange og smed bytte ind i hulen, mus, rotter og en musvåge. Så fløj den igen. 
     Ugleungerne  nappede lidt i byttet og fik et par bidder, de få mus blev slugt hele. Men det gik ikke så godt med at få hul på rotterne. Uglen halverede en eller to af dem, og det hjalp.
     Den 16. om aftenen var Ugleklaus i reden, han skar det grønne ned, ringmærkede, tjekkede og vejede ungerne. De var fine.

  From the next four days I have only screenshots showing cute, downy owlets at home alone. The surviving owl brought prey to the nest. A buzzard, some mice and rats, and left again. The owlets ate from the buzzard, and swallowed the mice, but could not tackle the rats. The big owl bit a rat or two in halves, and this helped.
  Klaus was at the nest June 16 in the evening, he cut down the greenery, put rings on the owlets and weighed them. They were fine.

16. juni 2022 kl. 21 42.

     Næste gang uglen (og senest herfra var jeg sikker på at det var uglefar, så det er han fremover)  kom forbi, havde han vist forstået, at Uglemor ikke var der mere. Han parterede byttedyrene og fodrede ungerne.

When the owl (and at least here I was certain that the survivor was Daddy owl, so this is what I call him from now) next visited the nest, he had realized thet Mommy owl was not there to do her job. He split up the prey and gave some choice bits to the owlets.

Det ser ud som om de siger til Uglefar at han skal blive her og give dem mere mad og mere end mad.

It looks as if the owlets are telling Daddy owl that they need to be fed more, and more than to be fed.

Så fredag blev uglefar længe hos ugleungerne, først fodrede han dem, og så stod han bare i reden sammen med ugleungerne, der ser ud til at nyde det. Man kan se de fine ringe på ugleungernes ben.

Friday Daddy owl first fed the owlets, and then he just stayed in the nest, standing, but what. The owlets sure seem to enjoy his presence. Notice the rings on the owlets.


Denne del af indlægget slutter med et billede af tre stopmætte ugleunger, der døser  i aftensolen.

This part ends with a picture of three sated owlets dozing in the evening sun.

Friday June 17 at 19.48

- - - - - Uglemor eller Uglefar - - - - - Mommy or Daddy owl - - - - -

Der er et kommentarspor på UgleTV, og den 16. juni sagde jeg: "Uglefar er en gammel, erfaren han, der har været ved denne rede i mange år.
  Uglemor er en ny hun, der var 'nybegynder' sidste år, hvor hun blev skræmt af reden.
   Så skal jeg være helt ærlig, håber jeg at det er uglemor, der er omkommet. Uglefar har vist sine evner til at både tiltrække nye hunugler og være et ordentligt "skaffedyr". "
     Og jeg tror faktisk at jeg har ret, det ER uglefar der er den stadig levende voksne ugle.


OwlTV has a possibility for comments, and the evening of Jun 16, I said that "Daddy owl is an old, experienced male who has been at this nest for many years.
  Mommy Owl is a new female who was a 'newbie' last year when she was scared off the nest.
   So to be honest, I hope it is the female owl that has perished. Daddy Owl has shown his ability to both attract new female owls and be a proper 'scavenger'."
  And it seems I was right that Daddy owl is the one still surviving.

Billede fra 17. juni Uglefar nidstirrer os. Så vi kan rigtig se hans ansigt.

Picture from June 17. Daddy owl is staring at us. Here we have a chance to see his face properly.

Close up Uglefar - Daddy owl:

Close up MorUgle - Mommy owl.

For mig er det helt klart, at det ikke er samme ugle. Læg især mærke til farverne rundt om næbbet, Uglemor er helt grå, mens uglefar har et brunt 'overskæg'.

To me obviously not the same owl. Notice the colouration around the beak, Mommy owl is grey, whereas Daddy owl has a brown 'moustache'.

Words for Wednesday -- Eulogy and Telling-off

This meme was started by Delores a long time ago.  Troubles led her to bow out, but the meme was too much fun to let go, and now Words for Wednesday is provided by a number of people and has become a movable feast. With Elephant's Child as our coordinator.

  Essentially the aim of this meme is to encourage us to write.  Each week we are given some prompts. These prompts can be words, phrases, music or images.
  What we do with those prompts is up to us:  a short story, prose, a song, a poem, or treating them with ignore...
  We can use some or all of the prompts, and mixing and matching is encouraged.

  Some of us put our creation in comments on the post, and others post on their own blog. This fun meme includes cheering on the other participants.
  And the more the merrier goes here as well, so if you are posting on your own blog then please tell us in the comments, so that all other participants, can come along and applaud.
   In June yours truly, MotherOwl is supplying the Words, and they can be found here.

Guidance, Tea, Argument, Role, Thanks, Warning
     and/or
Leadership, Song, Nation, Highway, Piano, Owner

Normally I use the words to continue my never-ending story of Susan and her friends, but today sad news reached me. So I tell this real life story. I did not use the last three words.

Sad news from the nest
Now Mama Owl is looking for guidance and rats in vain. Daddy Owl lost his life to a length of wire some days ago.
While we sat cosily drinking tea in our garden, having a nice argument, or discussing the use of harsh language in role playing games, he was stuck out there, close to the nest, slowly dying.
We all give thanks to Daddy Owl for the many years he has supplied changing Mommy Owls with encouraging hooting and innumerable rats and other animals of prey.
Let this be a warning to us all: Leave no lengths of wire, no plastic bags or other semi-indestructible pieces of waste lying around. This might be a job for our leaderships, but as they do not listen to the song of nature and wild things, it's up to us, the inhabitants of every nation, to pull ourselves together and DO something.

The three owlets in the nest yesterday. They have been left more alone the last couple of days, Momma Owl is out hunting, we understand now. Luckily warmer weather has arrived and the owlets have grown. We can hope for their survival.

Klaus Dichmann writes: June 14 2022 a dead European Eagle Owl  was found app. 800 m. from the nest with the web-cam. The owl was stuck in a length of wire and has been dead for some days.  We believe it to be the male of the pair in the nest that has tragically died. The Web-cam luckily still shows their three owlets still being fed by the female owl. Latest feeding was June 15 in the morning.

We can still follow the nest here.

Owlets on Sunday (Sunday Selections)

This post can't really count for Sunday Selections, as it's not my own photos, only screenshots from the Owl-livestream. I promised to keep you updated. All 3 owlets are thriving.
The last peep to the nest was May 19, with Mommy Owl warming the hatchlings. Since then the owlets have been growing. Here are the best shots I have taken chronologically.


May 19 Same evening - Owlets alone. You might have to embiggen the screenie to see the owlets:

June 2 - playing peek-a-boo:

June 8, Full nest!

June 9, alone in the night:

June 10. I'm big!

... but compared to Mommy, I'm still small!

And June 12 - today - 3 owlets waiting for  Mommy Owl to come home and feed them!

Mor Ugles hævn? Revenge of MommyOwl?

     I slutningen af april fortalte jeg hvordan  ugleparret på UgleTV havde fået deres æg ædt af en mår og mod alle odds var begyndt at ruge igen. Ungerne er nu klækkede, der er to eller tre, og Uglefar bringer bytte i massevis til reden, hvor det ligger stablet op og venter.
     I dag så det sådan ud.

--- 🦉 ---

  Late in April I told of how the  owls in OwlTV had their eggs eaten by a marten, and how they in spite of all expectations began brooding again. The owlets have now hatched, two or three of them, and DaddyOwl is diligently brining home prey for MommyOwl and the owlets. The surplus of prey lies in the nest.
  Look at this.

Er det en mår ude til venstre?  --  Is it a marten to the left?

Tirsdagstips :: Muslingeskaller og knogler

Tuesday Tips - Shells and bones

I Uglebo er vi samlere. Går vi tur på stranden, finder fine sten, vandslebne glasskår, fine muslingeskaller og mange andre spændende ting vej ned i vore lommer. Går vi i skoven, er det kogler, planter og fjer, der kommer med hjem. Og når vi spiser, vil vi gerne gemme fine knogler og muslingeskaller og krabbekløer og, og, og.
     Problemet med mange af de fine ting, er at de ikke er så lækre at have liggende: Planter visner, men knogler og ting fra fisk og skaldyr lugter! Vi har prøvet at lægge dem i blød - det stinker bare endnu mere, i en myretue - men så kommer der en fugl eller en ræv og napper dem, ude i solen - men så mister de farverne.
     Forleden dag spiste vi muslinger, de fleste var blåmuslinger, men der var nogle, der var meget flotte imellem. Måske er det også blåmuslinger? I hvert fald kom Uglemor i tanker om noget, hun engang havde læst. Knoglesmede - eller hvad de nu hedder, dem der laver ting af ben og horn - gav deres knogler en tur i opvaskemaskinen. Det måtte testes. Vi placerede en fin, stor muslingeskal under en ske, der kunne holde fast på den. Og så ventede vi til næste morgen.
     Muslingeskallen var fin, og selv Uglemors følsomme næb opfangede ikke den mindste lugt. Succes!

Så hvis du ligesom Uglemor og Ugleungerne ind i mellem gerne vil gemme en flot muslingeskal eller krabbeklo, eller måske prøve at lave noget ud af knoglerne fra aftensmaden, så er opvaskemaskinen din ven!

Friskopvasket muslingeskal - Shell fresh from the dishwasher.

In The Owlery we are collectors. When we go to the beach, stones, sea glass, shells and many other interesting things find their way into our pockets. When we go to the woods, it's pine cones, plants and feathers we bring home. And when we eat, we would sometimes like to save some of the bones, shells, crab claws, or, or, or ...
     The problem with many of the fine things is that they're not so delicious after a few days. Plants wither, but bones and seafood things smell! We've tried soaking them - it just stinks even more; putting them near an anthill - then a bird or a fox comes and grabs them; placing them out in the sun - but then they lose their colour.
     The other day we ate mussels, most of them were blue mussels, but there were some very nice ones in between. Maybe they are blue mussels too? Anyway, MotherOwl remembered something she had read once. Bone smiths - or whatever they're called, the ones who make things out of bones and horns - gave their bones a run in the dishwasher. It had to be tested. We placed one of the different shell under a spoon to hold it down. And then we waited until the next morning.
     The mussel shell was fine, and not even MotherOwl's sensitive beak picked up the slightest smell. Success!

So if like MotherOwl and the Owlets you'd like to save some shells, or claws or try making something out of old bones from your dinner, the dishwasher is your ally!

Nyt fra ugleTV - VIDEO - News from the Livestream Owl's nest

Nyt på Ugle-TV -- News from Owl-Livestream

Mindst et af æggne på Ugle-TV er klækket i dag!
Skærmdump følger, når jeg får et godt et.
I dagens anledning delte vi en UgleØl.

Uglemor bliver nok aldrig nogen fan af øl, Men Skribenten, Hvalrossen og to af Ugleungerne kunne godt lide den - så får jeg flasken 😉

--- 🦉🥚🥚🥚 ---

At least one of the eggs in the livestream Owls' nest has hatched.
I'll post screenshots, when I succeed in getting any!
We celebrated by sharing an OwlBeer.

No MotherOwl is no fan of beer, but The Writer, The Walrus and two of the Owlets did like it. And I get to have the bottle 😉

Å for Åh

     Her er så denne aprils sidste A-Z indlæg.
     Temaet for i år var Drømme - dobbelthed. Jeg kunne godt lide temaet og Lissas vignet var helt perfekt. Og undskyld forsinkelsen. Jeg fumlede rundt og fik sat datoen et år ud i fremtiden 😕 Åh!

Ⓐ - Ⓩ

  This is the years last A-Z post.
  The theme for this year was Dream - Duality. I liked the theme, and Lissa's vignette was perfect. And sorry fro the delay. I had set this post to auto-post in a year instead of posting it earlier today 😕 Oops!

Å for Åh / Oh, Aww, Oops! (Åh is a truly multifunctional sound)

    Åh, siger Uglemor - er vi allerede færdige. Jeg nåede ikke alt det, jeg havde sat mig for. Kun 15 poster -16 hvis denne her tælles med. Det var ikke helt hvad jeg havde tænkt, men det kunne jo have været værre. Jeg er helt tilfreds med de poster, jeg faktisk fik skrevet, og det tæller vel også.

Oh, MotherOwl says, I did not get to write all the posts I had thought out. I made it to 15, 16 with this one, posts during A-Z. That's not too good, neither is it too bad. And actually I'm quite satisfied with the posts I did write. This counts as well.

A - Z  Å

Åh, se nu her: Uglemor viser kløer - og æg

Aww, look at this, MommyOwl showing off her claws - and eggs.

Æ for Æg

     Her er dagens A-Z indlæg. Årsagen til forsinkelsen vil stå klart sidst i indlægget. Jeg skulle nemlig have heldet med mig for at skrive i dag, og det havde jeg søreme!
     Temaet for i år er Drømme - dobbelthed, så lad os se, hvad der falder mig ind til det tema.

Ⓐ - Ⓩ

  Here's today's A-Z post. The reason for the delay will be clear at the end of the post. I did not know if I was lucky enough to be able to post today, but I was :)
  The theme for this year, is Dream - Duality. let's see what crosses my mind on this theme.

    På dansk er der jo ikke ret mange ord med W, Z,X eller Q. Til gengæld har vi så Æ,Ø og Å. I dag, den 28 er jeg så nået til P, hvis jeg skulle tage bogstaverne i rækkefølge, men til Æ hvis det tre sidste dage skulle være Æ. Ø og Å.
     Og så er det jo så heldigt at jeg lige fik et billede til Æ - Æ for Æg.

Æ for Ægg / Egg

In Danish we haven't got many words beginning with W, Z, X or Q. Tomake up for this, we have three strange letter at the end of the alphabet after Z: Æ, Ø og Å. Today, the 28th it's time for Æ. I was lucky to get a photo to fit in here just a few minutes ago. Æ is for Æg = Egg or Eggs.

Natkamera på ugleTV og man kan tydeligt se to af de tre æg. Tiden siger 21.14, det er bare 20 minutter siden.

Night time on OwlTV.Two of the three eggs are clearly visible. Timestamp 21.14 just 20 minutes ago.

O for Ookie-pookies & Owls

     Hver dag klokken 12 (undtagen søndag) kommer dagens A-Z indlæg hvis der altså kommer et.
     Temaet for i år er Drømme - dobbelthed, så lad os se, hvad der falder mig ind til det tema.

Ⓐ - Ⓩ

  Every day at noon (except Sundays) a new A-Z post goes live - or no post today.
  The theme for this year, is Dream - Duality. let's see what crosses my mind on this theme.

O for Ookie-pookies & Owls

  Some days ago Messymimi had the right diagnosis for one of the things bothering me: The Ookie-pookies. This is a general feeling that the universe is conspiring to make you as miserable as possible, with things you can't help, nor really complain about without sounding ungrateful and whiny.
  Something like this: Everything is just plain old stupid. News, friends, family, social media, the nature around me, and even myself - everything is drab, boring, stupid. Nobody ever listens, Nobody ever understands anything. Everybody but me is going places and having fun. The one day I want to go to an outdoor event, is the one day it rains in a long row of sunshiny days. When I go to bed I have to go for a pee. When I go shopping the items on my list are sold out ... You know the feeling, I'm sure. This time I just have it bad, and each time I begin getting out, something new comes along and hits me over the head.
  Now I'm trying to chase the Ookie-pookies by telling about the Owls.

Ⓞ

We go back in time to February. The Owls have arrived, inspecting their nest and digging it deeper.

DaddyOwl has been Hoo-hooing and showing off the nest for hours on end each night, serving fat rats and mice for MommyOwl, and finally ... eggs are laid, and MommyOwl is incubating and emitting small complacent sounds, with DaddyOwl diligently and encouragingly hooting and bringing in food every night.

But then ...in the middle of the night an unwelcome visitor arrived. A marten. MommyOwl and the marten fought a long, furious battle, lasting for ten minutes, and ending with them rolling over the edge of the nest and down the almost man high drop in front of it. MotherOwl did not return, and a bleeding, wounded marten made off with the eggs.

The text says: And runs away with one of the eggs.

Then the nest was empty for days. Why MommyOwl did not return to defend her eggs after the tumble we'll never know.

The text is written by Klaus Dichmann - nicknamed Owly Klaus - our resident expert. He was surprised that a marten dared attach an European Eagle Owl on its nest and even got away with it. She has scared a fox off some years ago.
Next morning (March 24, 2022 10.52 am) he wrote: The female owl was sitting on 3 eggs in the nest. One of the eggs was cracked during the fight and the marten took one of the other eggs. The last egg has become cold, and will not hatch.
It looks like only the marten was wounded during the fight, we can see blood on its left side and right ear.
The owls won't try hatching again this year, but we hope for them to return next year.
(Cut off):We'll let the camera run a bit longer to look for the owls.


Some days later, we were treated to this sight:

MommyOwl testing the nest with DaddyOwl inspecting and hooting encouragingly. He also served several rats.


And this last one from today: MommyOwl incubating 3 new eggs. What was not supposed to happen, actually did happen.

The text is an egg-counter telling us that the first egg was laid at Wednesday, April 13, at noon. Great European Owls are incubating for around 32 days, so we hope for no more unwelcome visitors and for owlets in May.

Here you can follow the nest in real time, and find links to YouTube videos from previous years: Owlets being ringed by Klaus; MommyOwl chasing the fox away; DaddyOwl serving rats; and even Br'er Fox making off with the owlets one year.

Positive tanker -- Positive Thoughts

I dag er det koldt, klart og solskinsvejr. Uglemor prøver at finde optimismen frem med gode nyheder fra hendes lille verden. Ingen Fredagsfrustrationer i dag. Verden er dum nok uden!

To day the sun is shining, the weather is crisp and clear. MotherOwl is trying to find the optimism by means of happy news from her little corner of the world. No Friday Frustrations today. The world is bad enough without it.

-- 🦉 --

På UgleTV har uglemor lagt sig på reden - nu venter vi på æggene.
In Owl-livestream Mother Owl is staying on the nest - hopefully an egg or three will soon follow.

Den strikkede og hæklede morgenfrue er færdig. Midten blev også hæklet. Det ligner da en morgenfrue!

---

The knit and crocheted marigold is finished. The middle was crocheted. It looks like a marigold to me!

     Så fik jeg en ny, sjov idé. Først lidt cirkelstrik-teori fra Statistrikk. Jeg har ikke strikket mig igennem alle cirklerne, og hvis noget er uklart, så kig lige på hendes imponerende side! Hvis det jeg skriver, ikke er uklart, så kik endelig alligevel, hun er skarp, klog og god til at fortælle.
     Morgenfruen strikkede jeg ved at vende for hver 4. maske. Det gav mig et hul i midten, en pænt rund yderkant og 28 kiler. Den afsluttende pind i kilerne er strikket skiftevis med orange og gult, derfor ser det ud som om der kune er 14 kiler, men der er altså 28.
     Hvis man strikker en vendestriks-cirkel og vender for hver eneste maske, får man 7 kiler, intet hul i midten og et kantet ydre. Noget i stil med det her:

---

  Then off to the next idea. A bit of knitted circles theory from Statistrikk first. I did not knit the circles, so please look at her blog for more. It's a pleasure to look at. 
  The Marigold was made by turning for every 4 stitches, which gives me a hole in the middle and a nice, round outer rim. It consists of 28 wedges - I have alternated between an orange and a yellow finishing row to the wedges, that way it looks like only 14, but there are 28!
  If you make short rows circle turning for every stitch, a circle will consist of only 7 wedges, it will have almost no centre hole, but an edgy exterior. It looks roughly like this:

     Hvis man vender for hver 2. maske, får man 14 kiler, et lille hul i midten og en noget rundere ydre kant. Hvis man vender for hver 3. maske, får man 21 kiler, et lidt større hul og en endnu rundere kant. Kan du se et mønster her? Statistrikk kunne, og det kan jeg også.
     Men hvad nu hvis man blander, altså vender efter et forskelligt antal masker i kilerne. Hvad sker der så? Det måtte prøves. Jeg slog 17 masker op, vendte for hvert eneste maske i den første kile, og strikkede så to hvor jeg vendte for hver anden maske. Ville de mon passe sammen? Lad os se.

---

If you turn for every 2 stitches, you'll have 14 wedges, a small hole in the middle and a more round outer edge. If you turn for every 3 stitches, you'll have 21 wedges, a slightly larger hole and and even rounder outer rim... Do you see a pattern here? Statistrikk sure did and so do I.
  Now I wonder, what if you alternate the number of stitches between turning around? What will happen? I tried casting on 17 stitches, turning for every stitch in the first wedge, and then with 2 stitches in the next 2 wedges. Will they fit? Look at this.

Men 7 kiler ... hmm det går jo ikke bare med hveranden kile delt i to. Det ville ende sådan her - og jeg undskylder for mine skæve streger, det er ikke let at tegne på computer. Numrene fortæller hvor mange masker for hver vending.
---
But with 7 wedges, alternating won't do. It would end up looking like this - sorry for my terrible drawing skills on a PC - The numbers tell how many stitches between each turning over.

Gad vide, om man bare kan blande, så længe det går op i sidste ende? Der må flere forsøg til. Det her er, hvad der skal testes nu.

---

But can you mix and match, as long as the result is a fitting number of wedges? Time will tell. This is my idea.

Jeg er nået så langt, og da jeg samtidig tester forskellige måder at tage den lilla tråd med frem, bliver det helt sikkert trævlet op, når jeg kan se, om det virker eller ej.
---
This is how far I have made it until now, and as I'm also testing ways of bringing the purple thread to the next finishing row, it will be frogged, and hopefully re-knit, when I find a way that works.
