Først strikket jeg prøvelapp, regnet ut strikkefasthet og valgte størrelse fra boka. Jeg strikket med friskt mot gjennom hele raglanøkningen og et godt stykke ned på bolen før jeg måtte innrømme for meg selv at dette ble alt for stort. Så jeg rekket opp, gikk ned en størrelse, reduserte antall økninger i ryggen og prøvde igjen.
Ryggen på andre forsøk |
For mye stoff under ermene og i livet |
For lang, for vid, for rett i livet |
De myke fakta;

* Resten av garnet ble kjøpt uten en plan, noe som kanskje forklarer hvorfor det stort sett har blitt liggene i skuffen

Two girls in my class have enviable short retro red cardigans, and I wanted one for myself. This cardi, however, gave me nothing but trouble. It's based on The Knitter's Handy Book of Top-Down Sweaters. The first version got to big. The second version fit all right in the chest put the arms got too tight, and I had too much fabric under the arms. Then I forgot to stop knitting the body in time and got a sweater that was too long and didn't have any shaping. Then I got sick and tired, ripped the whole thing out and started again with a new pattern.
