FO no. 10, 2005, Temptation

One big brown bulky knit is done! A fun, quick and very rewarding knit - such a great and shapey design:

(It IS really sunny today -after days with extreme rainstorm!)
I am indeed very pleased with how it turned out - and I love the details - the buttons - the little KH-tag - the edgings..and the extremely soft wool!

details:
yarn: Rowan's Big Wool, shade 023 "Camouflage"
needles: 10 mm (for the sleeve-ribbing and the waist) and 12 mm, circular
pattern source: This kit!
and the designer: Thank you,

- for making such great designs!

I'm ready to go!:

Woohoo - into the sun! - for as long as it lasts...

	Karen, hvor er den flot! Jeg er vild med faconen og er imponeret over så flot, det tykke garn er til den model. Så skal jeg måske alligevel spare sammen til den model..... k.h. Mette

	Den er flot - og jeg er overrasket over at det tykke, tykke garn kan give et så elegant resultat. Hun kan sit kram, hende KH! KH Britt

	I love it! It looks so soft and squishy and snuggly. All those good s-words. And you're right, the detailing is really what makes it special.

	Aargh! I can't see the pictures!! Just little red x'es. Very disappointed :-(

	That's gorgeous. Looks great on you, too!

	Du og Kim har bidratt sterkt til å fjerne mine fordommer mot big wool! Jeg trodde det garnet var dømt til å gjøre tøyet litt bomsete og vamsete (ref. islandsgenser i fritidsgarn ol.). Jakka er jo rett og slett nydelig!
