new sweater

tadaaa.... a new fair isle sweater went off my needles!!!
only 2 colours (i need to practice, practice , practice
to be good in this technique)


started with a provisional co to work the yoke first
and bottom up (to check my decrease rounds for yoke shaping)
then unravelled the provisional co to work the rest of the 
sweater topdown - to be able to put it on and see how it fits.
this was a pretty good way i think....

need to check my notes and hopefully i am able to write
a pattern down (not sure)

yarn. Kauni solid col. HH3 and DD1 purchased here

i have ordered some more colours of this yarn....there is 
a cardi in my mind which wants to be knitted :)

otherwise i am occupied with sorting out my little home
....lousy!!!
it's curious how many things you can store in a house
you don't need at all!
renovation will start in april and we need to move 
(and we don't have a flat to rent yet!!! ), 
there are some serious things to do here in this house...
it's a very, very old house (built in 1789) and no one knows
what to expect.... 
our architect (a good, good friend of us) estimated a renovation time of nearly 1 year!!!! hopefully it will take not that time.
oooh, but it will be worth this effort, i'm sure.
there will be new and bigger windows, new floors, a new  
heating, a new roof, the use of the rooms will change
(our kitchen will move to the other side of the house!)
...and so on

think i will post more renovation related things this year
.....


hope you are all coming with me this year

  14. Der Pullover sieht (wie all die vielen anderen von Dir) super aus! Die Aussicht auf eine evtl. veröffentlichung des Musters klingt sehr vielversprechend. Bis dahin habe ich vielleicht auch noch etwas Zeit an meiner Fair-Isle-Technik zu feilen ;-)

    Die Sache mit der Hausrenovierung klingt ebenfalls super spannend. Da hoffe ich auf viele Vorher-Nachher Bilder und frücke schon mal fest die Daumen für ein passendes Zwischenquartier.

  15. OOhh - Renovierung! Das klingt spannend. Unser Haus ist etwas älter (ca. 16./17. Jahrhundert)Wir haben es vor 23 Jhren gekauft und seitdem gibt es immer was zu tun. Inzwischen hab ich schon graue Haare bekommen:-) Zum Stricken bleibt trotzdem Zeit. Momentan arbeite ich an Paulie. Und übrigens - der Pulli ist sehr sehr schön.
