Knitted sweather with loose neck

This is Sofie in her sweather. She saw the model exhibited at Gjesdal spinnerier and went and picked the correct yarn her self. I helped her getting the amount correct. Then she started to ask me if I was not going to knit soon.

When it was done she picked buttons to decorate the sleeves and the neck.

The sweather is 100% wool and knitted so it is extra warm ("patent strikk" in Norwegian). And she is using it outside a lot.

When I am done with the blanket - my next project is to knit a smaller version of this sweather to a young friend of the family.

Earlier this winter Lene flipped through a magazine with several patterns for children - and picked this sweather.

So that is the next thing.

Still working on the knitted blanket.

And it is growing at the average rate of 1/2 a square per evening when I am at home. 16 squares so far. I have decided to make half the squares inverse in colour to avoid the blanket of becoming to boring.
