The Challange
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.
(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.
Wish me luck, I feel a good challenge coming on.

And again
Decide for yourself paint, yarn, knitting needles or size. Please use the old residual yarns. Go ahead and knit caps, gloves, socks, sweaters, polo collars, scarves, shawls, sweaters, dresses, blouses, solliv, linen, waistcoats, jackets, cardigans, capes, ponchos and bags in a
New and inspiring way!
I will start the challenge today.
I was doing the crochet experimenting, whist back seat driving.
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.
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.
