Hey people
My Sylvi is finally finished!
Just in time for the snow and the cold weather they have predicted for next week!
It was a lot of work and many different cables but lovely to do and I'm very pleasured with the result!
I've used one yarn cascade eco wool and 6mm needles so my gauge was a little smaller than in the original. I've maked the back and front pieces a couple of stitches less and I've also sized down the sleeves a little more beacause I want them not too loose. As point of origin I used pattern size xs. Now it would be about 30 inch, xxs or childrensize 12 (Europe152-158)
I've self designed matching pockets with a part of the cable and a little flower.
And added a little cable on the cuffs instead of the stripes in the original pattern.
I've asked my father to take a couple of pictures this weekend during my visit at my parentshome.
I've also started something new, the carnabyskirt from the last knitty! I use some of the yarn I original want to use for my sylvi but I couldn't get the gauge with. It is lovely red-purple, very soft and very economical because it is worst weight and 170m in 50g!
And I'm making little "Sinterklaas" presents, hooking little clovekeyrings because a lot of persons in my environment can use more luck!!!
For people who are one ravelry, picture of the projects are here:carnaby skirt, clover
More pictures of these also on my blog will come when I'm back in Nimwegen!

Breid Cascade fijn? Lijkt me een fijn wolletje.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenCascade breit ook echt heerlijk en weinig draadjes wegtestoppen omdat je met grote strengen werkt, je moet wel even het egdulde hebben om bolletjes te maken :)!
