Scottie Cardi for Laura
Pattern: “Scottie Cardie” By Erika Knight from Simple Knits for Little Cherubs
Yarn: BC Garn Lucca Fino (Nr. ub43-100gr.)
Needles: US 4 / 3.5 mm
Size: 2,5 years old – I hope she can still fit into it 
Notes: The knitting part was very straight forward, even though it would have been nice with a more accurate pattern, like telling me how many rows to knit instead of how many cm. The sewing part was the hardest part for me, it would have been great if the full fashioning had been written into the pattern.
Ooh yeah, and choosing yarn that needs to be hand washed, for a garment for a 2 year-old – not my wisest decision
This is a picture of my beautiful cousin and her daughter Laura. The Cardigan ended up a bit to short for my liking, but the sleeves were nice and long. I doubt that Laura will be wearing it a lot. But perhaps her kid brother/sister will (My cousin is expecting a baby in 5 moth or so). And if not, that is okay to. I learned a lot from the process and is very happy that I finished it.
Here is a close-up of the cardie so you can really see the lovely yarn – super soft and a nice thick brown color!
Halfway through the process. I very much enjoyed knitting from a cone, but I have no idea how much yarn I used.
Cute buttons. Uni-sex, if Laura should get a kid brother then he would be able to also use the cardie. The band was for sewing inside the Cardie to strengthen it were it is sewn together. In the end I only used it on the shoulder and neck seams.
Last but not least, a closeup of my weapon of choise for this project.
These have been done for quite some time. But due to a lot problems with my computer, I haven’t been able to post them 
Pattern: Vespergyle mittens by Elinor Brown
Opinion: Great pattern, very easy to memorise and very nice result! I might do it again sometime 
Modifications : I went up a couple of needle sizes and chose thicker yarn than the pattern asked. I also added length about 5 rounds more.
They now belong to my Rasmus. And even though they very extremely fun and easy to knit! The best thing about them, is hearing him brag to everybody he knows, about them! 
He still wears them.. and it’s 20 degrees celcius outside!
Here are a couple of pictures from the process. Please note that the colours are more accurate on the top ones.

My sweet Rasmus has returned from New York I couln’t be happier And even though I had told him, that the only sourvenir I wanted from New York was him, he still went out of his way to find me something.
Scarf style from Interweave Press and Dali yarn from Knit-A-way
He knows I love to knit, that I mostly knit accesories and that I love red. I don’t think I had chosen these things myself, but I enjoy a challenge. There is a pattern in the book that I think will go great with the yarn. And hopefully there will also be enough yarn for a couple of fingerless glowes to match the scarf
This one is a keeper I tell you!
