Ännu mer av Tant Koftas garn

 

Fotograferingen idag stördes Kakan som tyckte att linnet med peacemärket var skönt att ligga på. När jag drog undan det för fotografering följde hon efter. Därför syns det inte att även den lilla barntröjan har ett av våra signaturmärken, feministmärket. Sakta men säkert jobbar jag vidare på att förbruka 20 kilo bomullsgarn. Det lär ta en stund till.

Fortsatt återutlåning augusti 2021

Nu har vi passerat 123 000 utlånade dollar. Här nedan kan du läsa vilka nya låntagare vi valde i augusti. I slutet blev det flera nya lån till jordbrukande kvinnor i Sierra Leone och Albanien. Dessutom blev det några små donationer till Kiva. Det är ju tack vare dem vi kan göra skillnad i världen.

Två ufon i hamn

 

Det stämmer faktiskt inte att det bara finns barntröjor på stickorna. Det finns två restgarnsfiltar som kommer fram med jämna mellanrum och därför inte direkt kan klassificeras som UFO. Det kan däremot klänningen och barnskallran på bilden. Klänningen var från början en mössa som bara skulle passat en person med jättestort rastahår och som inne hittat någon köpare på flera år. Därför bestämde jag mig för att göra om den till en barnklänning. Det har väl tagit sådär sju, åtta år. Egentligen var det jakten på mer bomullsgarn att sticka tröjor av som fick mig att ta tag i projektet igen.

Det skulle inte förvåna mig om skallran har legat ungefär lika länge som klänningen. Nu vet jag inte om det finns några fler rena ufon liggande men det finns fler mindre lyckade mössor som ska omvandlas till annat. Det är också ett sätt att inte öka på volymen av färdigstickat, att ta upp saker ur lagret och sticka nytt av de mindre lyckade alstren. Förhoppningsvis återvänder snart möjligheten att komma ut och träffa nya kunder och på så sätt minska lagret. Hoppas, hoppas!
