Notes

Thank you mom for helping with the photoshoot. :D

Ok, finished again. it’s blocking. I think I like it much better this way. super cute and I can’t wait to wear it on my trip to Iceland! :) I hope I get to see the sheep herding!!!!

I’m changing the border to ribbing. I dind’t really like the green on the edge taking away from the green of the sheep. Plus, I wanted to button it.

blocking

finished the body. three quarter sleeves right now, I wasn’t sure how far my one skein of Veilchen would go, so I did the sleeves first to where the purple would stop. Might just leave them that length. not sure yet.

mods: not a huge fan of ribbing, so I did a turned hem like collar, and will do the end of sleeves and bottom as well. am also not steeking this. just knitting as a top down cardigan. I don’t mind purling. steeking is way too scary. Did it once, but was not confident in it.

kind of inspired the cdh cal and using my cdh veilchen. the middle skein with the black/dark purple streaks. LOVE IT!!! contrasted with heavy metal for the stripes and nature sheep on a gruenfink pasture! :D

Last week I finalized booking our trip to Iceland!! And I heard that the sheep wrangling is going to be on while i’m there!! I knew I had to put this one back in high gear and finish it so that I can wear it out there! :D

alrighty! I finaly got a combo that I like. I think I did this over like 10 times! :D I was thinking that the sheep need to be in a pasture! LOL so here they are.

I’m still trying to decide on colour!
Used google translate and got the gist of the pattern. :D
