And here it is, the "little brother" cardigan

@brittarnhild

All this done in less that a week! Wow, I am quite proud of myself. It has been a busy week workwise, and I have also had other things on my agenda, but two of the days filled with work has also been days with quite a lot of driving in the diocese. I was not the driver, so I could knit, knit, knit for hours. 

Not only in the car, I could even knit on the ferry one day. The ferry over the Trondheim Fjord, which takes about 25 minutes. The fjord was quite busy that day, as there is a UN-led military exercise in our area these days, vessels were sailing out the fjord and helicopters were filling the air. Not that I like the exercise pretty much, but it was a spectacular sight.

Here I am comparing the cardigan with another one I knitted for Leander before he was born. I used a ready made pattern for the first one, this new #lillebrorjakke, little brother cardigan, is my own design as you know.

I knitted the cardigan on circular needles. Then I could knit only, and do no purl. So much easier. I do have to cut the front opening when I knit this way, but still it is so much easier than doing one row knit, the next row purl.

Only the buttons left now, I plan to buy them today. And I have some exciting plans for what to do with the left over yarn :-)

Very lucky grandchildren. I knit too slow to make anything for grandkids under size 2-4, They just grow too fast.
I am kind of on the same track as you are...my grand daughter was just 3 years -and she now has a little brother, 4 months.
