More stripes - Lisää raitoja

I'm currently working in a new project and juggling with my work-family life balance, so I haven't been updating my blog as frequently as I thought I would... anyways -

Here's the second stripy Puro sweater I knitted. Amanda chose pink-blue-brown colourway of Puro for her sweater, and it looks nice on her. (although she at first complained that there was "too much blue" in it...) Pattern: none really - it is a top-down raglan with 2-row stripes knitted from two separate balls of Puro, k1p1 ribbing on hem, sleeves and collar (w/1row stripes)
Yarn: Novita Puro in Jäätynyt karpalo #806 (Frozen Cranberry) approx 200g,- size ~104cm/4yrs
Needles: 6mm & 5mm

I have to say this sweater was the hardest to photograph, as A. is always moving . She cannot seem to stay still. At all. Sometimes I think she's more like a force of nature than a little girl.

I had my doubts when knitting this sweater, but it turned out really well.

Töihin paluu ja koko arjen uudelleen opettelu aikatauluineen jne vie voimia ja enemmän aikaa kuin olisin uskonutkaan. Siksi blogin hitaanpuoleinen päivittäminen. Tässä nyt kuitenkin toinen Puro raitapaita - keskimmäiselle tyttärelle. Värinä neidin oma valinta Jäätynyt Karpalo, jota neuloessa hiukan mietitytti että tuleeko tästä mitään - mutta näin valmiina se on varsin hauska neule.
Kuvaustuokio oli taas hmmm... haastava. A. kun on jatkuvassa liikkeessä, joten kuvien ottaminen ei ole sieltä helpoimmasta päästä - nämäkin hiukan epätarkkoja, mutta saavat kelvata tällä erää:-)

I think both sweaters look really good.

Oooooh.... your girls are so cute! Looks like neither one of them can stand still for very long.

As for Lana Grossa Gnocchi: it's really very, very comfortable and soft. I love the color combination, and if I remember correctly, there's also a purple/light brown/beige color mix. I couldn't find it online just now, but I think those where the options. I just discovered Lang Yarns Hopla--that too seems to be very similar to Gnocchi.
