Jeg er ofte blevet spurgt om jeg strikker sokker, og jeg har altid svaret "nej", selvom det ikke er helt rigtigt. Jeg har nemlig aldrig strikket sokker efter opskrift eller endnu mindre prøvet at designe nogen selv.Når jeg så alligevel har strikket sokker, er det fordi jeg i min barndom lærte at strikke hæl og tå af min mormor, og jeg har siden strikket masser af sokker på den måde. Det er en slags standard opskrift, som går til alle mulige størrelser. Det eneste jeg selv har tilføjet er en fodformet tå, som blev aktuel engang i 70'erne.
Jeg har været lidt misundelig nå jeg har set alle mulige andre sokker, men har bare ikke tage mig sammen til at gøre noget ved det, men nu er der i webstrik lavet en sokkeKAL, hvor man strikker ét par (mindst) pr. måned i 2012. Jeg har meldt mig, og min egen udfordring er, at jeg hver måned skal prøve noget nyt. Det kan være en anden type hæl eller starte i tåen eller noget helt andet.
Her er hvad det er blevet til i januar, efter den gamle model.
Et par strikket af noget lækkert håndfarvet strømpegarn som er en gave fra Naomi, nogle hvide som er strikket af noget gammelt hjertegarn, som jeg købte rigeligt af på et tidspunkt, hvor en garnforretning lukkede og et par strikket Opal cotton.
I am often asked if I knit socks, and I always answer "no", although it is not entirely true. I've never knitted socks using a pattern or even less tried to design some myself
When I have knitted socks, it's because in my childhood learned to knit the heel and toe from my grandmother and I have since knitted lots of socks that way. It is a kind of standard pattern that goes to all sizes. The only thing I've added is a foot-shaped toe, which was present even in the 70s.
I've been a little envious when I've seen all sorts of other socks, but have not made up myself to do something about it, but now webstrik has made a sockKAL where you knit one pair (at least) per months in 2012. I have challenged myself to do something new every month. It may be another type of heel or start knitting at the toe or something else, I don't know yet.
Here's what it was created in January the old way.
A pair of knitted something delicious hand-dyed sock yarn which is a gift from Naomi, some whites are knit by something old Hjertegarn, which I bought years ago in a yarnshop closing down and a pair of knitted cotton Opal.
