Om handstickning. Stort intresse för stickningens historia. Sedan jag hamnat på ett demensboende orkar jag inte skriva som förr. About hand knitting (HK). Have a large interest for knitting history. Since I ended up at a home for senile persons I am not writing as much as before. Most entries will be in both swedish and english.

Skugg-stickning Shadow knitting
Hos Monica (igen) hittade jag skugg-stickad handduk. Tänkte att det kanske jag kan klara av. Så jag letade på färger som passar för min toalett (blått golv och orange vägg*), så jag randade med blått+orange. Jag upplever inte skuggeffekten, men det kanske inte funkar med alla färgkombinationer. I vilket fall fick jag en matchad städ-duk till toaletten :-)
*Jag har inte valt färgerna!
Monica (again)had done a towel in shadow knitting. This made me think I might manage to do the same. I looked up colours to go with the ones in my toilet room (blue floor+orange wall*) so my shadow knitting was done in those colours. I cannot see any shadow effect, but maybe I used colours that was wrong. Any way I got a matched cloth for cleaning my toilet room :-)
*I did not choose the colours!
Mörka gult Hiding yellow
Låång luva Tall hat
Tumvante Mitten Monica
Tack Monica! Du uppmuntade mig att blanda ilsket gult garn med blekt rosa (två av mina hat-färger) och helt plötsligt gick det bra att sticka, det blev tumvantarna på bilden.
Monica, thank you! You encouraged me to use bright yellow yarn with pale pink, two of the colours I hate.... All of a sudden I could knit and the outcome was the mittens on the pix.
