Roses for a barrett?
Of course it hurts when buds burst.
Otherwise why would spring hesitate?
Why would all our fervent longing
be bound in the frozen bitter haze?
The bud was the casing all winter.
What is this new thing, which consumes and bursts?
Of course it hurts when buds burst,
pain for that which grows
and for that which envelops.
Of course it is hard when drops fall.
Trembling with fear they hang heavily,
clammer on the branch, swell and slide -
the weight pulls them down, how they cling.
Hard to be uncertain, afraid and divided,
hard to feel the deep pulling and calling,
yet sit there and just quiver -
hard to want to stay
and to want to fall.
Then, at the point of agony and when all is beyond help,
the tree's buds burst as if in jubilation,
then, when fear no longer exists,
the branch's drops tumble in a shimmer,
forgetting that they were afraid of the new,
forgetting that they were fearful of the journey -
feeling for a second their greatest security,
resting in the trust
that creates the world.
Children are a people, and they live in a strange land. This land is a rain and a puddle.
Over the puddle the boys’ boats go sometimes, and they glide so nicely even without a keel.
There walks a girl who collects rocks. She has a million for herself.
The King of Trees sits quietly among the branches of the Tree King’s throne.
There walks a boy who laughs at the snow.
There walks a girl who made an island out of fifteen pillows.
There walks a boy - and everything he touches turns into ice cream.
All of them are children, and they belong to the mysterious people.
Children are a people, and they live in a strange land. This land is a meadow and an attic.
There a boy may find a new Samarkand, and ride away on a swinging gate.
There walks a girl who sings about fir cones. She owns two herself.
There by a wooden fence stands a boy who scribbles that the world is blue.
There walks a boy who turned into an Indian.
There, there walks the King of Shades around town, he is stalking thieves.
There - a girl found a funny grimace that she is trying on.
All of them are children, and they belong to the mysterious people.
Children are a people and they live in a strange land. This land is a back yard and a shed.
There, the dangerous train ambush happens sometimes, on beautiful evenings when the moon is yellow.
There walks a boy who is guessing on cars; he always wins.
The songs of birds in their many variations are magical jokes.
There, a worthless thing turns into a treasure.
There, beds turn into boats one night and go off to the moon.
There are kingdoms that none of us can take away from them.
All of them are children, and they belong to the mysterious people.
Yngste jentebarnebarnet må jo ikke fryse på beina så jeg mekket sammen disse fra eget hode etter innfallsmetoden.
Den geniale treskolignende tåfellinga lærte jeg av
( lenket )
Alle bilder åpnes større i nytt vindu, - høyreklikk og lagre.
NB!: da jeg strikket treskotåa med tykke pinner og tykt garn fikk jeg hull ved endene av hver økning som jeg siden måtte jobbe ekstra med:
Etter festing av tråd i tåspissen splittet jeg opp ulltråden og nestet sammen de store hullene på hver side med stigesting.
For å unngå dette senere vil jeg følge denne framgangsmåten som er vist i en video fra Garnstudio:

Hvordan strikke I-cord om du velger variant B,
bilder tatt fra en blogg og så gjort om til GIF:
Før toving:
Ferdig tovet, – først med et håndkle på 60 grader, så ditto på 40.
Vel hjemme i Norge skal jeg finne fram filtenåler og mini pepperkakeformer og nålefilte på hjerter på vristen + sette på prikker med antiskli-middel som jeg så vil forsøke å dra tannpirker igjennom for hjerter under også.
Kjøpt hvit på ebay.uk ForestFibres ( 61,65 inkl post ):
Datter ønsker seg kule ukulele-tøfler… Etter å ha sett disse på Etsy.
Tror jeg skal kjøpe roving bundles fra ebay slik at jeg kan gå skikkelig amok mtp dekor…
Translation to follow!
I made some placemats for my mum and dad as a pressie and the binding gave me an opportunity to test out this technique I picked up in a course on Craftsy
by Wendy Butler Berns.
Hopefully the gif will give you the how to! In short:
Cut the strips 2 1/4” wide. Cut the starting end on the diagonal.
After pressing the raw edge under fold in half and proceed as the gif shows.
Remember to start sewing a bit away from the starting point and end likewise to easier tuck the end in before the final splice. Remember to avoid “nostrils” in the corners and top stitch for an all machine and thereby fast finish!
