Oversetting?…

Eg skulle berre sjekke ut ein link på Pinterest. Sjølvsagt noko heklerelatert – ein ny metode for samanhekling såg fin ut.

Bloggen var på fransk… Sjølv om eg hadde fransk på gymnaset, så er det ei stund sidan, liksom…

Så eg takka ja til tilbodet frå google om å oversette for meg.

Det var lurt – hekleoppskrifta blei så mykje lettare å forstå då… (lett ironisk her)

Eg trur faktisk eg forstår meir med min begrensa gymnasfransk…

?????

I tried to use Goole to translate this french crochet pattern, but I don't think Google knows the crochet language…

It was impossible to understand, even if the words were Norwegian.

So I must try to use the little French I know to read this pattern…

Makroner

Eg hadde ein del mandlar liggande igjen etter jul. Så no i påska fann eg ut at dei måtte brukast. Og då kan ein vel prøve seg litt på franske makroner, tenkte eg…

Eg skålda ein del av mandlane – faktisk så mange at eg måtte lage fleire porsjonar med makroner.  Og då fekk eg prøvd meg på fleire variantar også. Ganske lurt…

Prøvde først ein sjokoladevariant med sjokoladeganashe-fyll. Oppskrifta fann eg i ei bok. Dei blei ikkje så fine å sjå til (sprakk på toppen), men smakte veldig godt.

Så laga eg ein pistasjvariant. Den oppskrifta fann eg her hos Heartshaped. 

Til slutt vart det bringebærmakroner også. Nokre fekk sjokoladefyll, og resten fekk bringebærkrem.

(Jammen bra med storfamiliepåske slik at eg fekk hjelp med å bli kvitt dei også…)

NAM!!

I made macarons last week. Quite fun, and they turned out nice – if I may say so myself

Påska – Easter

Triangelpute nr 2

Denne vart ferdig rett før påske, akkurat i tide til å bli bursdagsinnflyttingsgåve. Puta er hekla etter same mal som den første, med litt mørkare gråfarge (for det var det eg hadde no).

På denne laga eg åpninga bak på ein litt annan måte. Eg laga knapphola på siste fargestripe og hekla ein separat bit med kvitt som knappane er festa på.

This is triangle pillow number 2. It was finished just in time to be a birthday-housewarming gift before Easter.

It was made almost tah same way as pillow number one. Used a darker grey in this one (because that was what I had now). And I made the opening in the back a bit different.

I made the buttonholes on the last stripe of colour. Then I made a separate rectangle with white dc to go under the first piece (overlapping) and sew the buttons on it. I think I like this way better than that on pillow #1.

Triangles – geometric pillow

This pattern was edited Aug 2015.

This pattern is for a 40 x 40 cm pillow
The front piece is made of 24 triangles and 6 half-triangles.
The back is a square made of dc only.
Yarn: DK / 8 ply
Hook: 4 mm
Gauge: 9 dc = 5 cm

How to make a triangle:
On the start of every row you make a dc in the same st as you start with the 3 ch. You're increasing with one st on the start of every row.
Row 1: ch 4 (counts as 1 dc), dc 1 in first ch, turn [2 dc]

Row 2: ch 3 (counts as 1dc), dc 1 in same st as the ch (where the arrow points), dc 1, turn [3 dc]

Row 3: ch 3 (counts as 1dc), dc 1 in first st and every st on the row [4 dc]
Row 4: ch 3 (counts as 1dc), dc 1 in first st and every st on the row [5 dc]
Row 5-12: Continue the same way, increasing 1 dc in the start of each row, until you have 13 dc. Cut the yarn, leaving 25-30 cm tail for sewing the triangles together later.

How to make a half-triangle:
(You wil increase in every other row).
Row 1: ch 4, dc 1 in first ch, turn [2 dc]
Row 2: ch 3, dc 1 in same st as the ch, dc 1, turn [3 dc]

Row 3: ch 3, dc 1 in next st, dc 1 (where the arrow points), turn [3 dc]

Row 4: ch 3, dc 1 in same st, dc 2, turn  [4 dc]

Row 5: ch 3, dc 3, turn  [4 dc]

Row 6: ch 3, dc 1 in same st, dc 3, turn  [5 dc] 

Row 7: ch 3, dc 4, turn  [5 dc]

Row 8: ch 3, dc 1 in same st, dc 4, turn  [dc 6]

Row 9: ch 3, dc 5, turn  [dc 6]

Row 10: ch 3, dc 1 in same st, dc 5, turn  [dc 7]

Row 11: ch 3, dc 6, turn  [dc 7]

Row 12: ch 3, dc 1 in same st, dc 6  [dc 8]

Lay out the triangles in the pattern you like. Whip stitch together using the long tails.

The back is made of two pieces. One large with stripes and one smaller piece.

Row 1: Make a dc foundation row, and make 70 dc.

Row 2 – 30: ch 3, dc 69. Change colour every 5th row if you want stripes.

Row 31: Buttonhole row. Ch 1, sc 8, *ch 2, skip 1 st, sc 9* 2 times, ch 2, skip 1 st, sc 10, *ch 2, skip 1 st, sc 9*  3 times.

Row 32: sc 1, sc in every sc from last row, sc 2 in every ch 2 space.

Piece 2:

Row 1: Make 70 dc with the foundation row method.

Row 2 – 10: ch 3, dc 69.

Put the front and back together with right side out. (Don’t worry if your back piece look to small. The blocking will fix that).

The back pieces are made to overlap by 5 rows. Make sure the rows match up.

I prefer to crochet the pieces together, from the front, starting in the bottom right corner. 

Sc 2 in every row, through both layers. When you come to the overlapping you will crochet through three layers.

Sc 3 in the corner st, and  sc 1 in every st on the top and bottom.

Finish with a row of crab st.

Find 6 pretty buttons from your collection and sew them in their right places.

There you have it! A new pillow for your couch or favourite chair!

Vinteferien…

… er visst nesten over… sukk…

Eg har ikkje vore på ski, men har brukt beina (og broddar). Oppover skogsvegane. Det var til og med så lyst at eg måtte bruke solbriller.

Ellers har eg forbarma meg over hobbyrommet. Det har likna meir på eit lager (eller kott) siste året, og absolutt igenting kreativt har skjedd der inne…

No forsvinn 70-talstapeten litt etter litt. Halve rommet er mala no, andre halvparten må nok vente litt for der står tunge hyller med mykje stasj…

Gjenbruksskrivebordet mitt får også ny farge.

Men på kveldstid blir det litt hekling. Har fått med meg at geometriske former er inn, så då prøver eg å lage ei pute med trekantar.

Half term this week. Nice to have a week to do other stuff.

I have not been skiing but have gone for walks. And I've painted half my craft room. My craft room has been used mostly to store things lately, no crafting has been done in there. It's time to freshen it up a bit. The 70's wallpaper is disappearing. And my desk is getting a new colour.
