FO: En Sårk För Mej (A boy for me)

The yarn is called "Sårk" which in Gotland means Boy! It is of course the wonderfully loose spun Fardhem yarn from Gotland, and bought at the spinnery, that is the origin of this cardican. It is all design from my head - and I have just made it a simple ragland/lopi decrease yoke to keep the pattern. Had to have pockets. I bit longer than planned, and a bit tighter than planned, but somehow it worked out, ok! Very soft and very warm.
What is not ok is that it has snowed, and is freezing again. What happend to spring? April weather! Finally some days rest on the Easter holiday. How wonderful! Happy easter to you too!

  1. Koftan ser så go o mysig ut, lagom lång och med fickor! Har inte räknat efter hur många färger osv du stickat med, men du ska veta att liknande mönster är helt uteslutet för mig. Det jag klarar är slätstickning och enfärgat.

  2. Oh I love the colorwork in that! I know what you mean about the weather, it is colder here in April than it was here in March. Which means in March it was 80 F and in April we are lucky to get to 70 F, which I realize is not really cold. But anything below 70F and I'm wearing layers!
