Finally - I'm finished!
You can see the first heart sweater her. It's a little big. Hopefully she'll be happy anyway - at least she can use it for a couple of years then. And when she's finished - there's two girls in line, ready to take over
Finally first sleeve of my dear daughter's i Heart you is coming up. The sweater has been som what frogged the last couple of weeks. I've been playing with KnittingDane codes instead. Ex the main page has changed - for the better I think .
I'm also in the process of updating all the old Danish Knit Articles. Swing by the Danish version of this site to get a glimpse of what's getting translated (when time comes).
As always I knit everywhere. Picking up kids from school is a perfect time for knitting. I'm never in a hurry. I just knit yet another round. Then the kids can finish up nice and slowly - as always.
As an extra bonus - there's always a chance to talk about knitting. Both kids and grown ups stop on their way just to talk about knitting. And those kids - they really know how to show excitement. I like it - I like it a lot
Here's yesterdays status:
The last couple of days I've been posting pictures on my Facebook Page of the work in progress. But not everyone is on Facebook, so here's a follow up.
I've knit a lot, mostly surrounded by kids - and coffe...
Saturday this was the sight of my bag. Ohh how I love the wrong side of stranded knitting.
Next sweater is in progress - here's some preparing of stripes. Best preformed with a glass of redwine and lots and lots of homemade ice cream.
But even though I did some preparing I'm still left in doubt. This time I'm knitting the sweater from the top down, and I forgot to turn the stripes upside down.
Finally I got pictures of my dear daugher in the Heart Sweater. Ok admitted, didn't finish before christmas as I promised, and I didn't even start the second sweater for my other daughter either. Luckily my daugther her self told me to relax and not fuss over knitting. You just gotta love 'em
But this lady down here - she's not easy to get pictures of.
For several years I have wanted to knit a sweater for my second oldest daughter. Then it could be past on to the next daugther and the next again. Perfect now that I never find the time for all the knit I'm dreaming about.
Both pattern and yarn has already been approved by the daugther. And lucky me, I found an old gauge swatch in stockinette stitch, which I could recalculate stitches from - or could I??
I casted on the stitches!
And knit...
Pretty far indeed...
So far I know can get my self to ravel up the whole work
