Færdig med efterårets store projekt - cardigan med mønsterstrik og lus (eller lopper da denne strikkes ovenfra og ned). Jeg har valgt at strikke med lopper i flere farver på bullen men droppet dem på ærmene.
Nu skal jeg bare fæste en hel masse tråder....
Opskriften er fra Pinneguri og du kan finde den på norsk, engelsk og tysk her
Garnet jeg har brugt er: Kate Davies Designs Buachaille
(tilbagedateret indlæg)
Opskriften er Christmas in July (link på Ravelry)designet af Tanis Lavallee
Ps min mellemste på 3,5 år har ikke været i mod Finull men hos nogle børn kradser det. Personlig elsker jeg alle farvene du kan få. Jeg har også brugt noget ukendt restegarn...

Yes it's true I'm putting myself probation - no more new yarn (bought by me, gifts ok) for the rest of the year.
I've just discovered that I had ....much more yarn then I thought. As I mention before we have just moved (in February) but somehow boxes with yarn keep appearing....
Not to mention in my mailbox after latenight online shopping (oh Paypal you are just too easy). So per 1 april (ok not exactly I did manage to buy some amazing pink tweed before starting the ban). It's scary but also exciting. I have so much nice yarn that just want to be on my needles.
Ps I'm not a slave to you Paypal...(changed my password to something I've already forgotten)
1st month down and well I had a birthday and started on a shawl in luxury yarn so it went ok.
Sometimes (well often) I long for the winters here in Denmark to be colder. Not that I enjoy when the winds is piercing cold. But the need for hand knits would be greater with colder weather. I guess it's the (Norwegian) knitter in me.
Even though my kinds might not wear as much hand knitted items as their Norwegian counterparts they do wear a lot of wool. So much that my friends calls them wool kids. Here is some favourites (I'll show the baby knits in a separate post)
Little mister M, here just 8 months old. Wearing 'Eivor' cardigan in lovely Estonian wool, Evilla.
Mister T, the baby here just 1 month old, wearing 'Fuglemammas omslagsbody' a knitted bodystocking. Pattern is not available in English but this one piece from Knitting for Olive is a nice substitute.
My oldest in his current favourite, Bygenseren. Knitted in Knit Me Merino
