Who knows German?

[pixiecrinkle]

OK, I'm looking for someone online who wants to do this crazy beaded colorwork sweater I've started, and I finally got a hit on google. But it's in German. The last time I actually attempted to speak/read/write in German with any regularity was 1996, so I'm a bit rusty. Can anyone help me with this paragraph:


Wollt ihr wissen, was mein nächstes Projekt sein wird? Carlotta aus dem Rowanmagazin Nr. 36!!! Allerdings besteht mein Projekt nicht darin, diesen Pullover selber zu stricken (so gut kann ich meine Strickfähigkeiten dann doch einschätzen...), sondern darin, eine Strickerin vom Wollwirrware zu suchen, die Lust hat dieses Teil in Angriff zu nehmen. Ich hoffe, dass sich da jemand finden wird! Ich träume schon lange von dem Pulli.

Schön, dass ihr uns alle ins Strickcafé gefolgt seid! Und vielen Dank für die vielen Meinungen zur Preisfrage!

Words for non-knitters:
-Carlotta is the name of the sweater
-Rowan #36 is the magazine the pattern is in
-Strickcafe' is the blog name



I think it looks like she is about to start the sweater and is seeking other people knitting it, but I'm not certain. It might also say she's looking for someone to knit it for her. I get the feeling that she does read English from some of the blogs in her blogroll, but I want to at least make an attempt at understanding her and writing in her language before I go off and send a random email to someone around the world.

I think she's looking for someone to knit it for her. She's looking for "a Strickerin [Strick-cafe-reader probably] who wants to tackle this" and "opinions on prices". She says she's already dreamed about this sweater -- I bet it's a really nifty one!

Sigh. So no one wants to knit with me. :-)

It is pretty cool. Actually, here's a photo:



I'm almost halfway through the back of it right now. It's on super small needles though, and it has 1,400 beads knitted in. so I don't see wearing it before February. I also totally understand why she doesn't want to knit it herself!

Oh *wow*. That's a big project! I'd love to see a pic of yours when you get it done. :-)

I heart that sweater. Rowan patterns totally take me 2 years to finish, though.

Babelfish gave me:
Want you to know, what my next project will be? Carlotta from the Rowanmagazin NR. 36!!! However my project consists not of knitting this sweater (can I mean so good cord abilities nevertheless to then estimate...), but in it, looking for a Strickerin from the Wollwirrware to the desire has this part to tackle. I hope that someone will be there! I dream already for a long time about the pulli. Beautifully that us all in the Strickcafé followed it! And thank you for the many opinions to the matter of price!

So yeah, I think she's looking for someone to knit it for her.

Yeah, I tried Babelfish too. It was the "cord abilities" sentence that had me stumped. And I think Wollwirrwarre is World Wide Web, but I wasn't sure about Strickerin.

I really need to re-learn a foreign language. Once upon a time I could have gotten through that without help!

Stricken is "to knit" so Strickerin would be "knitter." ;)

I figured the same about Wollwirrwarre.
