FO no. 9 2005, baby kimono
In progress:
A quite quick and delightful knit, here we are, finished and a little steam-blocked:
The kimono is knitted in one piece. When I had knitted it all up I discovered that the sleeves were rather short. So I had two options; rip almost 1/3 of the whole kimono or work out some other way to add a bit of length. I went for a bit of length - picked up and knitted 4 cm moss stitch. Not perfect - as I think the original design with the simple sleeves is just the right thing - but it saved me a lot of work...
details:
yarn: baansull merinoull/alpaca, double stranded - used aprox. 120 g, size 1/2 yr.
needles: 3 mm circular
pattern source: interweave knits summer 05
model: baby kimono, designed by Kristin Spurkland
modifications: picked up stitches and knit 4 cm moss stitch for extra sleevelength.

nydelig!
Og takk for at du introduserte meg til bånsull! Ser ut til å ligne www.nostebarn.no som jeg har hatt mye moro med. Oppdaget i dag at bånsull skal åpne butikk mlm de 7 fjell i løpet av et par uker! |

It so cute! I think the moss stitch section was a very creative solution to the problem, and it looks nice. |
