I tried to get Heart Yoke Cardigan done during January, but needed time in February to finish it. I love the pattern, even though I had problems following it. Not the pattern's fault, but myself. I had to frog a couple of times, but love the resault. The only problem with the jacket, I don't know if it turned out a bit too big to me? I'm not sure, but I'll guess I just sew in some buttons and try it on. I didn't want a jacket as tight as the one on the pattern picture, but I'm not sure if I wanted it as loose as it turned out. I used Hifa 2 Ask wool for the jacket and it's the first time I knitted with this yarn. So far I like the yarn.
For en tid tilbake kjøpte jeg to nøster med dyr italiensk merinoull. Ikke vet jeg hva jeg tenkte da jeg kjøpte garnet, og ikke vet jeg helt hva det egner seg best til heller. Fargeskiftene er veldig korte, og jeg skylder på at jeg ikke visste bedre i handlingsøyeblikket. Fikk det plutselig for meg at jeg skulle bruke garnet til noe. Det er ikke mye som blir verken pent eller morsomt med så korte fargeskift, men jeg fant ut at en barnelue kunne i det minste bli morsom. Strikket en veldig enkel lue med vrangbord nederst og resten i glattstrikk. Kunne ikke ha noe mønster med så rotete farger. Resultatet ble en crazy sukkertøy-lue, men lillegutt er veldig fornøyd. Han syntes lua var morsom også klødde den ikke. Jeg brukte ikke mer enn nesten et nøste på den lua, så spørsmålet er hva i alle dager skal jeg bruke det siste nøstet til? Tar gjerne i mot forslag. Lua er strikket på pinne 3,5 mm.
A while ago I bought two skeins of quite expensive merino wool from Italy. I don't know what I thought about when bying the yarn, and don't know what pattern fits the pattern the best either. The color shifts are short and makes it all look a bit crazy. Not many things you can knit and make it look nice, but I decided to try a children's hat. Just ribbing at the end and garter stitch for the rest of the hat. The hat turned out a bit crazy looking, but my son loved it, he loved the colors and the fact that it didn't itch. I have 60 grams left of this yarn, so if you have any idea what I could make out of it, give me a hint? The hat is knitted on needles 3,5 mm.
