För en del år sen, när Sverige och EU började strama åt sin flyktingpolitik broderade jag den här texten. 🧶

It has a big patch in the front where a small part of the UN declaration of human rights is embroidered: "Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution." Detail showing the text which is embroidered in different beige and brownish colours.

I sommar har jag tränat mig på att odla potatis. Eftersom det har varit väldigt torrt är skörden inte så stor, men den räcker för att jag ska kunna provsmaka de olika sorterna. Här är det Amandine, Rocket och Swift.

Two small burgundy coloured bowls with potatoes are placed on a blue and white striped dish towel. Between them there are a small pile of potatoes and some chives. Three small pieces of tape have the names of the three different cultivars of potatoes written on them: Amandine, Rocket and Swift.

Den översta delen på våra påslakan slits ofta ut före resten av lakanet. Nu har jag provat att klippa av den delen och sy dit en ny av tyg från ett gammalt underlakan.

The corner of a bed, where the corner of the duvet has been folded so that you see the backside. The front of the duvet is beige and the backside is striped in beige and white with very thin stripes. The top of the duvet has been removed and replaced with fabric and is pale green on both sides. You can also see the corner of a chefstjänster of drawers, but that's less interesting.

Här kommer en sashikoinspirerad lagning av en skjorta. Jag har använt ett gammalt lakan eller örngott från äldre släktingar, som jag färgade ljusblått. Ett monogram och en bit spets fick följa med. 🧶

A light blue shirt with sashiko inspired mendings on the elbows and one arm. The fabric for the mendings is also light blue and threads in various blue colours are used for the sewing. Detail of the same shirt. Part of the arm is shown. There are two patches. The patches are made from an old sheet or pillowcase that has been dyed light blue. One patch has an embroidered monogram and the other one has a crocheted lace. There are blue sashiko stitches along the edges of the patches.

We need to tell our politicians that 89% of the global population wants them to take action and make sure we mitigate climate changes. To knit and wear this 89% beanie is my way. Join if you like! A simple, free pattern can be found at Ravelry.

I thought this sunhat had a too small brim, so I unravelled the brim and used a darker yarn to make stripes and a bigger brim.

The picture shows a crocheted sunhat, made from flax yarn. The middle of the hat has natural flax colour. Then come two dark green stripes and finally the main part of the brim is dark green with a lace pattern. A detail of the brim of the same sunhat. The sunhat being worn by a woman, seen from behind.

Två gånger blåa ätliga blommor, hässleklocka (Campanula latifolia) och nävan Rozanne. På hässleklockan kan man äta bladen också. Jag väntar dock med ätandet tills de här har blivit lite större.

The theme for this week is striped and my striped 89%-beanie is almost finished. 89% refers to the fact that 89% of the people in the world want climate politics that keep the Paris Agreement.
