The kit contained Mellowspun yarn, an acrylic, but boy, is it ever soooooft and pleasant to work with. Not the greatest stitch definition with this one, but that's a minor thing. And, oh yeah, I generally dislike acrylics, but this one is pretty darn nice. My only pet peeve is that I found that each skein had different yardage - a markedly different yardage. Not that I measured or anything, but... I knit identical front and back sections at the same time, each from a separate skein. I did the same thing for the sleeves. Both times, one skein had noticeably more yardage left than the other, like almost twice the yardage of the skein with less yarn. Hmmm....Anyway, the sweater is done, my munchkin loves it, so I'll just move on to my other UFO's.

Uroczy sweterek i córeczka tak ładnie w nim się prezentuje. Dzieciaczki szybko rosną, więc za nim się obejrzysz będzie w sam raz.

Dziekuje za mile slowa. Coreczka juz sobie "zamowila" nastepne rzeczy - teraz kaze mi robic czapke, a potem nastepny sweterek.
Sliczny sweterek i pieknie cora w nim wyglada - one tak szybko rosna niestety, ze nawet nie zuwazysz jak sweterek bedzie za maly... :)
ReplyDeleteDzieki serdeczne za odwiedziny na moim blogu i dokladny opis jak zaznaczac oczka w robotce. Taka magnetyczna tablica jest super. Ja na razie uzywam post-it karteczek, ale one sie szybko odklejaja i znikaja gdzies niestety.
I lifeline super pomysl - nie wpadlam do tej pory, ze mozna w ten sposob zaznaczac tylko siedzialam i liczylam rzedy - a to nie jest najlatwiejsze w azurowym wzorku. A tu sie okazuje, ze na wszystko jest sposob :) Dziekuje.
Oj, mi tez nie che sie jakos na blogu pisac. Brakuje mi ostatnio weny tworczej...
Pozdrawiam serdecznie. iwona
Sweterek śliczny i ładnie leży.Wcale nie jest dużo za duży(oj szybko rosną te dzieci strasznie i jak się tęskni za nimi malutkimi :) )
