"black licorice"
I ordered something !!
I ordered something through the DANISH mail. This meant selecting, writing, arranging in Danish - and more importantly -
paying in Danish on line.
Alistair did that last part for me.....
Oh, what a happy day when the the bell rang and this package was being delivered to me:
Look at the sweetest little pattern --
including tags! --
-- to be knit for the sweetest little American boy, born to friends last week here in Denmark. A Danish sweater, then, is the perfect item.
A sailor's sweater, even.
I love the handwritten invoice -- and she included an extra skein for no charge, so I could knit both the smallest size, as well as the 18m size for later.
That part had been a little unclear to me, actually, in our correspondence. What a sweet surprise.
So, I cast on right away, of course.
Suddenly sort lakrids sounds pretty delicious, doesn't it?

And now all you need with your knitting is a cup of Nana's homegrown licorice tea!! And I actually do have a new little bunch of leaves growing in this looong, hot, dry autumn...(I've steeped and frozen all else...for when you all come..so will dry and bag and mail these last offerings :) (I'm so excited about this latest "mint"...you'll love it)
So cool! And what a beautiful sweater for that gorgeous yarn. Bravo for you. I don't know that I would ever have the courage to order something in another language. You amaze me.
