Jeg er et meget tålmodigt menneske men med nogen ting kan jeg være ret utålmodig! Og det er jeg nok lidt mht udgivelse af min bog! En bog med opskrifter og historier fra min fantastiske rejse til New Zealand i starten af året.
Derfor har jeg besluttet at frigive opskriften på Geraldine Sweater og den kan nu kan købes på Ravelry; http://www.ravelry.com/designers/Trine Eger Nielsen eller ved at sende mig en besked.
Geraldine Sweater har fået en del opmærksomhed og jeg ved at nogen venter på opskriften og på bogen og nærmest allerede har købt garn. Jeg håber af mit hjerte at den lever op til forventningerne ♥
Jeg har opkaldt denne sweater efter byen Geraldine hvor jeg købte garnet.
Geraldine ligger et par timers kørsel syd for Christchurch. Min strikkerejse var lige startet så jeg havde på ingen måde fundet nogen rytme. Sproget, at finde rundt og køre i venstre side var en ting, købe garn, priser, designe, engelsek betegnelser som ply, DK, worsted og woollen spun var en anden!
Maniototo wool havde jeg fundet på nettet hjemme i mørke Danmark. Nu stod jeg her i Geraldine, i Country Rumours og havde det lækreste uld i hånden og skulle til at vælge. Og det kunne jeg ikke.
Dagen efter kørte jeg til privat adressen hvor Mary Furness Weir har sit firma og her var et endnu større udvalg af alt det lækre uld i de skønneste farver hvilket jo ikke gjorde det nemmere at vælge!
Det var fantastisk at snakke med Mary som var så sød og hjælpsom ♥
Resultatet blev Geraldine Sweater. Strikket undervejs på min fantastiske rejse, fotograferet på Taka Hill og på Neudorf Vineyards.

I am a very patient person but some things in life make me a bit impatient! And I might be a bit impatient about the publishing of my book! A book with patterns and stories from my fabulous trip to New Zealand at the beginning of the year.
SO I have decided to release the pattern for the Geraldine sweater. It can be purchased on Revelry; www.ravelry.com/designers/Trine Eger Nielsen or by sending me a message.
The Geraldine Sweater has received some attention and i know that some of you are waiting for the pattern/the book and may have already bought yarn for the sweater. From my heart I hope it will live up to expectations ♥
I have named the sweater after the town Geraldine where I bought the yarn.
Geraldine is located two hours drive south of Christchurch.
My knitting trip had just begun and I had not yet got into a rhythm. The language and driving on the left side of the road was one challenge. Buying yarn, prices, making designs, english knitting terminology like ply, DK, worsted and woollen spun was another!
In the dark Denmark winter I had found Maiototo Wool on the internet. Now I stood there in Geraldine, in Country Rumours, with the most lovely wool in my hands and had to choose. I couldn’t!
The day after I went to Mary Furness Weir’s private adress where the Maniototo wool company is located and then I’ve had a much bigger selection of the most wonderful wool in so many beautiful colours wich didn’t make it easier to choose!
It was amazing to meet Mary who was so lovely and so helpful ♥
The result was the Geraldine sweater. Knitted during my amazing journey, photographed on Takaka Hill and on Neudorf vineyards.
