Dale Konfekt cardigan

I have always liked many of the knitting patterns which the Norwegian company "Dale" creates. Ever since Anne-Sophie and my sister's 1st child, Ida, were born, I have knitted Dale sweaters and cardigans.

The latest one is this (sadly it's not all done yet!!) but it's not for either Anne-Sophie nor Ida ;0)

Recently, I found this amazingly beautiful cardigan on Ravelry: Dale Konfekt Cardigan.

I would love to make it for myself sometime in the future, but I have been searching and searching for the Dale magazine #196 without any luck.

I have found Dale yarn in some Danish yarnshops but none of their magazines!!

I will keep on searching....

Pause- fish and knitting

When I was a child, our only TV channel - DR - had a phenomenon called "fill-in-fish" or "pause-fish" if you like!

Whenever there was an interval between the programs lots of swimming fish would turn up on our TV screen and it almost felt like looking at a fish tank....

Now I have started my own pause-fish phenomenon: pause-knitting. And don't we all know that???

In between knitting on "Ansigter" I started making a little sweater size 4. It's "Stikkelsbær" from the book "Hønsefødder & Gulerødder". (Actually it's a Christmas present! I have to start now, to be sure to finish it in time!!!)

I just needed something to knit while watching TV or talking to my family....that is not an option I have while knitting "Ansigter" ;0)
