A Christmas present!!

Hi!!!! I´m back!!!

I wanted to do something for my nephew E.P but I didn´t know what! I found some patterns for knitted baby clothes but not the one I wanted so I knitted bites of different designs! But the collar was the hardest because it is overlapped...it´s difficult to explain! But it looks like this...

I have knitted little things before so I'm not the best knitter ... I've lost count of how many times I had to redo it and start all over again!! I took a few deep breaths .. counted to 10 ... And maybe some bad words;o) 


This is the back!

This is the front!

When I first read the chart for the pattern ... I thought that I'd never get it but it wasn´t so hard when i got started .. but I had to keep count of each lap/ row,
otherwise it would have been impossible to remember where to do what!


An arm!





I couldn´t make the collar as in the picture so I had to rethink and make something else with what i had:o)






Good thing I played with dolls when I was younger!

I had a big doll that I put the sweater on after I had put the pieces together. .=( Then I saw that I made ​​the collar too low in the front! I had to redo it but it went pretty fast to do.


And this is the end product!!!!!It may not be perfect but but I like it .... I just hope he can wear it :o/

                                                   



I´m have some ideas about other things i want to do.....but that´s a story for another day;oP

  2. Va fin den blev! Själv nöjer jag mig med att sticka en enkel sjal.
