Dale of Norway not only makes beautiful knitting patterns, like Kashmir, but also great machine knitted garments. I like this one a lot:

But being a knitter, I want to knit it myself. So I started charting a pattern from pictures of the internet.


The charting is done. Now to look for yarn which will give me around 32 stitches on 10 cm. And to choose colors. Will I go with the off white and brown version? The red one is great too. Or choose realy different colors?


Hmm, maybe just get samples of several colors.

I am a .....

You Are a Cardigan

You are traditional, old-fashioned, and even a little conservative. More than anything else, you are a creature of habit. You haven't changed much over the years. You shy away from flashy ideas, people, fashion, and foods. You have simple tastes. You go for established quality and longevity every time.

What Kind of Sweater Are You?

Somehow I don't recognize me in the picture ;-)

Finally done: Kashmir

A year ago I started my Kashmir sweater. After a long summer stop I picked up knitting on it during autum. And beginning December I finally had enough length to lay the bottom flat and to measure. A day later I had this:

It was to smal. I could have knitted on, hoping one day I would fit the sweater, but was afraid I would lose faith in the project. So I ripped it, steamed my yarn, bought bigger needles and casted on a few extra stitches and started all over again.
Beginning of February I was back at the point where I had ripped it all and this time it was ok.

Half March the body was done:


Beginning of April the sleeves were knitted and the steeks sewn and cut.

The pattern has a rolled hem at the neck line, which I do not like. So I used this way of making it look like the bottom and sleeve hems.

And now it's done. Finally.
