St.Lucia (free chart)

I finally got a picture of finished St.Lucia chart. The one of my own designs that is also a free chart on this website. I plan to sew a new hot water bottle cover and want this picure of St.Lucia to warm it. But it's a summer and my intention to sew such a warmer is not working at the moment. :)

Arctic summer


You would not believe but I have start a knitting project for the comming winter. No, there's not any sings of comming winter yet and we are living on the best time of the summer. But still I picked up the knitting project so that I'll have enough time to finish it.

I popped in my favourite yarn shop and found excellent material from a  discount basket. It's SandnesGarn kitten Mohair yarn in apple green shade. (30% mohair, 20% wool, 50% courtelle.) Retail price was 4,95€/50g but it was on sale for 2,50€/50g. I could not say no. I bought every nine balls of it that was. I planned to knit a pullover for a horse girl but I ended up to knit a vest/sipover. I use two strands so it's going to be thicker and even more warmer. It's not going to have sleeves because it will be so thick so there will be more space for arms to move on under it all in winter clothing.

The vest won't need all of the yarn so we'll see what else I will knit from it. It depends on it how much will be left at the end.
