Not quiet the start I had planned, above my 1st wrong attempt of yet the simplest hat ever. But to my fairness the pattern/digram is in another language.
Here's how I began.
Pattern 0ne
Hat!
Easy peasy (hopefully)
Mössa
Storklek:Vexenmodell, lätt att minska till barnmodell.
Garn:Ett tjockt,mjukt och luftigt ullgarn rekommenderas.Till mössan s.16 och 24 har” Gute” garn från Bergå använts.
Garnåtgång:1-1 1/5 hg.
Tips: Om man vill ha en smidigare mössa kan man dra ifrån 5 cn på
Uppläggningsvaret och vika upp enkel kant.

Cap
Storklek: Vexenmodell, easy to reduce the child model.
Yarn: A thick, soft and fluffy wool is recommended. To cap p. 16 and 24 have "Gute" yarn from Berg used.
Materials: 1hg.
Tip: If you want a flexible cap, you can subtract 5 cm on
Posting answer and unfold single edge.
Ok then lets work that out……..
Diagram below
This was my big mistake the 36 width and the 44 height I assumed was Cm's So attempt one just like my Fiona hat grew way to fast to ever be a basic hat.
Attempt two
36 stitches
44 rows
And I'm off again.
Here I have to apologise to Helen(Sticka) and Karin(Ex knit lab)
As they kindly offered me a lot of help with the translating, but this post was already prepared and ready to go.(Organised week)
So I promise my next translate will be Spot on......100%;-)
Below attempt two............
Phoenix
More Photos of Phoenix, to finish I just have to complete the skirt. One skein that today I will go to Panduro(Swedish craft store)
Which was where I purchased the yarn and hopefully they will have some thing similar, as I brought the orange a while back in the sales:-(.
Traditional yet funky
Detailed neck stitch, I think that this is my favourite part.
My Juila Child, Julie blog film/book version inspiration but of course knitting not cooking challenge.
For me knitting is a challenge!
The most difficult part is that it’s all in Swedish and I don’t understand Swedish.
A little,(3rd year here) yes, no, please and the odd knit term but that it that's my Swedish in a nut shell.
So a lot of typing and thankful for translators.
I also as you all know have a few very good Swedish knitting friends (aka)
Knit family that I'm sure will be laughing loudly at my translation.
Before I even start this challenge I need to work out how to add the dots!
(Keep reading you’ll see)
Unlike the Julie Julia film challenge, she had a time set 1 recipe a day? in 365 days (I think)
Knitting and translating will obviously take me a little longer, not a year but a few days to weeks each project.
(1st pattern, the hat above. Looks easy but we will see.)
The reason for this book choice
The reason for choosing this book, I will type the back translation.
I think from what I can tell!, From the picture and diagrams that it is aimed at non
Pattern readers like my self.
So here’s to the translation…….
Wish me luck, I feel a good challenge coming on.
Sa har roligt och enkelt kan det vara att stick!
Did have fun and easy it can be to stick!
Ok..........so far so good.

I will start the challenge today.
Phoenix
My back and the sleeves, the left sleeve a brand new stitch for me. Discovered whilst running errands in the car on sat, Rich was doing the driving.
I was doing the crochet experimenting, whist back seat driving.
Almost completed
I was one orange skein short of completing the full skirt. I need to go shopping and try and find a yarn that is the same thickness, nothing in my stash will suffice.
Shrek bag lining
How I lined the knitted Beret bag.
I took one old recycled carrier bag
(You know the fabric type that replaced the plastic)
1st I cut the strap off, then stitched it loose in side the knitted bag. To make the body of the bag stronger thus stopping the stretching and keeping the bag shape a little better.
So I frogged the pink........ Then I began again using the Red lidl acrylic and the left over Maria's Garn yarn. (Marks & Kattens,funky bright sock yarn)
Sitting today watching The Sex in The City Movie I just have to stop here and talk about that movie. Honesty, hand on heart, I absolutely love that movie. The Writers did me proud. (Yes I am a huge sex in the city fan)
I like that the movie repeats so many of the best lines..........Ever
Ever ever from all the series, It gives me goose bumps talking about it.
If I can ever get past the part that he jilts her with out crying, i'll be amazed.
That's usually the point that I make a cuppa, but I still get choked. On an hormonal day sobs! (soft)
I think that it is because I have watched every series so many times that I almost believe that it is true, that its their real live's.
Carrie and Big, WOW.
I diverse as usual, Inspired by such strong women characters, my crochet was on a roll.
TWISTY STITCH
I have used this Twisty Stitch before when I made Vogue Buttons, I used it on one of the sleeves, black glittery one.(it's on my web site)
