Litt nytt / Some new stuff

Fabelbukse

Først minstens Fabelbukse. Strikket i en fei på strikkemaskin.

First the wool tights I have knitted for my youngest son. Knitted up very fast on my knitting machine.

 

 

Shalom cardigan 

Så var det Shalom. En cardigan jeg falt for med en gang jeg så den. Men jeg måtte spesialtilpasse den, da mønsteret tilsvarer 34" i overvidde. Og det er alt for smalt for meg. Jeg ble godt fornøyd med resultatet.

Then Shalom, a cardigan I fell for as soon as I laid my eyes on it. But I had to upsize it, because the pattern only makes a bust width 34", which is way too small for me. I am very happy about the result for this one.

 

Mønster/Pattern: Meghan McFarlane

Pinner/needles: 7 mm

Garn/Yarn: En tråd alpakka (LaCancha)og en tråd Cubist (YarnTreehouse) / One strand of Alpacka (LaCancha) and one strand of Cubist (YarnTreehouse).

I did a total of 4 ridges of garter stitch before I followed the pattern, and did the stockinette section.

Stitches for front pieces: 42

NB! I put the 45 stitches for the sleeves on hold after 2 ridges. I cast on 10 new stitches between the front and the backpiece (under the sleeves). I also picked up these st and did 2 ridges of garter stitch as sleeves.
