The elephant cardigan was unraveled - that will not happen again I tell you...
Luckily the amount of stitches in this small size were easy to deal with.
I'm pleased with the new colours of the first pattern row. It's supposed to be like this on the sleeves as well, but in my opinion, that will become far too much on such a little cardigan.
If you look carefully - and know the pattern - you will see that I left out 2 dark grey stitches under every one of the elephants' trunks. Definitely not on purpose. But it will be easy to fix with a needle and some yarn when the knitting is over...

I have now reached the beginning of elephant row number 4. The snowy day has been perfect for a bit of knitting and sitting inside the warm house.
But Emil and I did also play with Otto in the snow. He's so funny in this weather. He acts as if the whole lot of snow has been put in the garden just for him. So he jumped as high as possible to reach the many snowballs Emil threw into the sky. What a joy to watch.
He's such a happy, funny and loving dog...

Okay, just when I thought those elephants couldn't get any cuter, they do! I adore the new trim. You have such a great eye for color. And my condolences on the ripping. I've been on a bit of ripping jag myself these days—frustrating—but always worth it and snowy-good-knitting days soften the blow somewhat.
ReplyDeleteHappy knitting!
Hold K... hvor er det flot Ulla - Maria har lige lært at strikke hos hendes bedstemor......måske Maria kan låne et mønster så hun kan strikke til hendes mor *SMILER*......jeg er vild med elefanter :0)

Det ser da bare super flot ud - Ulla. Lækre farver og søde elefanter.
ReplyDeleteGod dag.
ÅÅÅh hvor er den skøn og nogle fine farver du har valgt. Hvem har lavet mønsteret?

Hvor bliver det godt - og rigtig godt valg med en farvet kant. Det bliver godt...
ReplyDeleteawww this is SO cute. you are a brilliant knitter. I've got a hat I've been knitting for a few months! I think it will be too warm to wear it by the time I've finished ;) Catherine x
ReplyDeleteI'm happy that you like it even better now, Alison. Thanks a lot. :))
ReplyDeleteAfter all the ripping did create a better result - then we see a purpose with it, don't we? I simply hate ripping up knitting - and sewing for that matter too. ;))
Have a lovely weekend. :))

Dorthe, 1000 tak. :)) Det er et gammelt mønster - faktisk helt tilbage fra før Emil var født!
Hvor er det fint og hyggeligt at Maria har lært at strikke. Det er lidt sjovt at det altid er bedstemødre der lærer børn at strikke. Sådan var det også for mig og Anne-Sophie. :))
Så hun kan låne alle de mønstre hun vil, hende Maria. :))
Vi nyder vinterferien. Emil og mig har været alene hele ugen, men heldigvis kommer Christian hjem fra skitur med Skringstrup sent i aften. Det glæder vi os til. :))
Hav en dejlig fredag. :)

Tusind tak, Gitte. :)) Ja, det er ved at være okay nu efter flere forsøg, men jeg når aldrig dine højder når det drejer sig om mønsterstrik i ensfarvet garn. Hold da op hvor har du lavet mange flotte ting i den genre.
Rigtig god weekend. :))

Mange tak, Charlotte. :)) De rødelige farver var langt bedre og mere passende til en størrelse 2 år, så det var godt jeg fik lavet det om.
Opskriften er af Hanne Thorsen.
God weekend. :)

Tusind tak, Karina. :)) Jeg var ellers overbevist om at de grå ville være meget elegante og simple i borten, men på én eller anden måde kom den mørkegrå til at svæve for meget i luften. (Jeg ved ikke om det er forståeligt?)
Men nu virker det. :))
Rigtig god weekend.

Thank you so much. :)) I know exactly what you meaan, Cathrine. I have a shawl that I have been making for years now! I actually don't know whether I will ever get it done. It has a zillion yarn ends to weave in...
Have a lovely weekend. :))
