I will finish the back today, and maybe I will cast on for one of the fronts. I’m a bit scared about the hood part, because it involves short rows, which could be tricky with this drop-stitch pattern. We’ll see.

Anyway, this is going so fast, and it is such a fun knit up till now! I’m so glad that I’m able to make it with the recommended yarn!

Sára is getting better, and we are going back to the GP on Thursday. I hope she can go to the kindergarten from next week. She has a great time home, but I’m sure she misses her friends. One of her little friends phoned us yesterday, just to say she misses Sára. How sweet.

And the co-workers vest. Khm. Well, at least the part of the back. She is small, so it should go fast, but I’m just bored with this stockinette panel. And there are so many interesting knits to finish… I’m pushing myself to knit a few rows every day, at least while we are home with Sára.

And guess what! Yesterday my yarn from Donna has arrived! GGH Samoa, for the drop-stitch hoodie. Great yarn, I love it! Of course I had to cast on for the hoodie right away. I can tell you, this is the best cotton I have ever touched. It is soft, relatively easy for a cotton (ok, half of it acrylic), and it has a great crisp stitch definition, and a nice drape. Also it is elastic enough to make a nice, fitted garment, which will be still comfortable. I have a feeling that this cardigan will be a hit, when I finish, and I will love to wear it.

I have finished half of a pattern for the hoodie, and I say it is going to be a quick knit. You just going through a pattern repeat, and 10 cm is done with your knitting. Fun, and entertaining knit. I’m a bit worried though about the shaping, because it was a bit complicated for the first read, but I hope it will clean up as I get to it.
