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.

Tant Gredelin - Auntie Violet
Ni minns väl Elsa Beskows saga "Tant Grön, Tant Brun, Tant Gredelin och Farbror Blå". I och med att jag hade för mycket lila garn och min kära väninna D ville ha stickade sockar, kom jag ihåg. Då sockarna fick godkänt fortsatte jag med tumvantar, mössa och halsvärmare. Mössans mönster finns här

English below
Elsa Beskow, a swedish author wrote many years ago a children book named "Tant Grön, Tant Brun, Tant Gredelin och Farbror Blå". That means Aunt green, Aunt brown, Aunt violet and Uncle blue. The aunts always was wearing a dress in the same colour... and the uncle always a blue coat. Anyhow, I discowered that I had too much violet in my stash and my dear lady friend D wished knitted socks, she got violet socks. As she was happy about them, I knitted more of the violet yarn, mittens, neckwarmer and a cap. Pattern I found here http://www.purlbee.com/mushroom-hat/
