The Early Bird Challenge for September has a "Outdoor" theme.
I`ve knitted a seat pad/base (to sit on!), well I don`t know what a sitteunderlag is in english....
I have tried a new yarn (to me!), Lètt-Lopi, it`s made in Island.
A bit stiff to knit with, but still very beautiful and comfortable result.
How: I did a 85 loop cast on, circular pin 7.
I knitted 15 stripes, 10 row of each color, all together 150 rows.
It measured 59cm width x 55cm long.
I gave it a wash on wool program 40warm, and it grew! to 63cm x 57cm!
Then I tried again this time main program, short 60warm: now it is 44cm x 43cm.
I love it and I will absolutely try this again :)
All the best

Så fint sitteunderlag. Lett lopi er et flott islandsk garn, og egner seg nok kjempegodt til toving.
SvarSlettJa, jeg så dinosauren i innlegget under:-) det virker som om sånne har både føtter og vinger som de forflytter seg med:-)))
Ha en god søndag videre og en flott ny kreativ uke:-)
