This is my granddaughter Nele. She is almost 2 years old and she is of course the most beautiful, most intelligent and adorable child of the world. It was for her that I had to put my quilting aside for 1 week but for moments such as these and many others it was worth it.
Nele is enjoying her first encounter with a spool of threads.
During night time I was able to finish my knitting
Die Art und Weise wie das Ärmelloch entstanden ist, ist anders als ich es sonst kenne. Dieses hier gefällt mir besser und läßt sich auf jeden Pullover übertragen. Die Reduzierung der Maschen erfolgt immer am Anfang und am Ende einer Reihe.: Randmasche- 1 rechts - 1 abheben- 1 stricken und die abgehobene drüberziehen. Am Ende für die letzten 4 Maschen: 2 zusammenstricken - 1 rechts- 1 Randmasche. Die Rückreihe wird normal gestrickt.I like the way how the armwhole was done . It was different than usual and is applicable to any sweater . The stitches are decreased at the beginnig and end of the row as the following: Knit 2 st. - pull 1 st - knit 1st. and pull the 3 st. over. At the end of the row leave 4 st : knit 2 together- knit last 2 st.
The quilting term for this is "Blocking". After the parts are slightly stretched and pinned, they are covered with a wet towel possibly over night.
