cabled hoodie by melissa leapman

Lauréus — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 13:39:22 +0000

I made this cardigan for my friend (the one who lives with her children – my godchildren – in the alps)
As usual in gray. She wanted a hoodie with a bit cabling – well, I was a bit scared, that she starts to joodle, when I knit a gray cardigan and decided to knit something special. I hope she likes it……. by the way. This pattern is…… what can I say. A lot of work.

Ich habe die Strickjacke für eine Freundin gemacht. Sie mag es in grau…. Naja Zopfmuster und grau? Also viele Trachtenjacken in Bayern sind ja so und da dachte ich mir ich mache ein “Zopfmuster” der besonderen Art. (Bevor sie vor lauter grauer Jacke noch mit Jodeln beginnt)

Herbsttag

Herr, es ist Zeit. Der Sommer war sehr gross.
Leg deinen Schatten auf die Sonnenuhren,
und auf den Fluren lass die Winde los.

Befiehl den letzten Früchten, voll zu sein;
gib ihnen noch zwei südlichere Tage,
dränge sie zur Vollendung hin, und jage
die letzte Süsse in den schweren Wein.

Wer jetzt kein Haus hat, baut sich keines mehr.
Wer jetzt allein ist, wird es lange bleiben,
wird wachen, lesen, lange Briefe schreiben
und wird in den Alleen hin und her
unruhig wandern, wenn die Blätter treiben.

Rainer Maria Rilke, 21.9.1902, Paris

Lauréus — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 16:57:44 +0000

I had a day off – and did a little trip to Lucern (City of Light). One hour from Zurich by train – and it was just wonderful traveling with the train thru the autum colours.

Huron #2

Lauréus — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 09:18:56 +0000

This is the second Huron (Brooklyn Tweed). The first I made was for a friend living in the swiss alps.
Garnstudio Karisma grey and white (Leftovers from the crochet buona notte afghan). More info’s see Ravelry.

#2
The second HURON is for me. Dark red 100% Alpaca with 1skeins white Karisma (Leftover) from my favourite Yarnstore http://www.strickcafe.ch/. 15 skeins dark red Drops Classic Alpaca (discontinued) Pattern with 4mm Needle otherwise 3.5mm Needle.

I started at the under arm level with 400stitches (120front 120back 8oarm 80arm) following the pattern from brooklyntweed. Then I picked up the stitches from the crochet lane and added for armholes 10stitches for body and back . I like it; knitting top till down. That’s the best way for me, to keep everything under control.

buona notte (orginal grey. from rosa p.)

Lauréus — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 16:54:10 +0000

Nun bin ich endlich fertig geworden mit der Tagesdecke! Das war wieder einmal eine Abwechslung etwas zu häkeln statt zu stricken. Ich habe so zwischen 30 – 40 Knäuel verhäkelt und ich glaube die Bambushäkelnadel hat auch etwas gelitten. es waren total 564 ganze und 22 halbe hexagons.

inspired by http//:rosa-r.blogspot.com/2010/10/rosas-grey-hexagon-blanket.html hexagon love. thank you rosa! 30-40 skeins (564 hexagons and 22 half hexagons) Drops Karisma superwash from http://www.strickcafe.ch/

It was a nice change, crochet and not knitting. I am happy I did it
