Det är kul att sticka nya saker

Väldigt många saker stickas numer med hjälp av autopilot vilket innebär att det inte finns särskilt många frågetecken kring hur slutresultatet kommer att bli. Därför är det alltid spännande att sticka nya saker. Här är en poncho i restgarner inspirerad av en diagonalstickad babyfilt. När en inte har någon aning om hur slutresultatet kommer att bli blir det plötsligt väldigt spännande och det blir svårt att lägga ifrån sig stickningen.

Att sticka nya saker kan också innebära att sticka om gamla misslyckanden. Till restgarnshögen lades också en misslyckad "rastamössa". Med öppning i båda ändarna skulle den kunna passa en person med rastahår. Tyvärr skulle inte bara håret behövt vara stort för att den här skulle passa. Även skallen skulle ha behövt vara gigantisk för just den här modellen.
