Yarn Along – (Hooded?) Sweater

Happy to be joining Ginny again today.

Although, as you can see, it's Knitting and Baking rather than Knitting and Reading around here.

I am by myself these days. To be precise: Alone with four kids, husband away for business… So there is not so much reading time and I have not finished my latest reading matter.

Well at least, I am getting some help here and in between a chance to measure on the living model.

No it's not supposed to be a poncho. The seams are simply not joined yet.

(Does anyone else do that: Try the project on the baby. Sometimes it helps me to make up a pattern, sometimes I just can't wait to see what it looks like on him…)

From this it seems like it is going to fit and I am happy with the pattern.

However, I am using up a lot of yarn really and thinking of leaving out the hood. I knit with thin needles compared to the strength of yarn to obtain a very tense look and feel, like for a spring or autumn jacket.

Hm, we'll see about that.

We'll be enjoying Julie's Peperkoek in the meantime.

Julie hat schon recht.

Es ist Februar.

Da kann man mit einem Fuss noch in der Weihnachtszeit und mit dem anderen in der neuen Gartensaison sein.

Deshalb habe ich es heute nochmal mit Lebkuchengewürzen probiert und gleich werden wir den "Pfefferkuchen" verputzen.

Ansonsten versuch ich zur Zeit mit beiden Beinen am Boden zu bleiben. Mit vier Kindern und ohne Mann.

Bin zwar kaum zwei Seiten, aber dafür ein paar (Strick-)Reihen weitergekommen.
