Finished the front and the back, both are knitted the same way. Now i'm on the second sleeve. After that i will sew up everything and pick up stitches for the yoke.

What do we know about people, who want something (in this case they want to buy something i made) but also trying to insult me to make me sell it?

Strange people...or am i the strange one and just don't understand those tactics...

Finished the sleeve today. I tried to stay consistent with the pattern through the decreases...well it was hard to see with the black yarn, so it is not perfect.

Started with the ribbing of the front piece. I'm only a few rows in, so no picture.

The pattern isn't hard to knit, but i'm not enjoying it. So i will only knit the sleeves in this pattern and the rest in stockinette.

I started with one sleeve and because the yarn is black, the pattern is a bit hard to see.

I also have a new vintage knitting pattern in the making. It is called "Zelda...persuasive flattery". (Free on Ravelry and Trove)

The yarn is a mystery black yarn on a cone, most likely a cotton and for the yoke a golden yarn on a cone (lurex/viscose).

I actually managed to knit a top in 2 and a half days. My previous plans for a mothersday gift fell through, so i frantically changed my plans.
(Yes, i could have bought something, but i usually don't do that for gift giving)
It was a lot of knitting in short time, but i finished it in time
It is a free pattern from Drops (can't think of the pattern name right now). Sport weight cotton yarn from Buttinette (i think it is called Daphne), knitted on 2.5 and 3 mm Needles.

And also thank you to all of you, who voted on the buttons, i really like them. In real life the have the same tone of grey as the yarn, so they match really well.

Finished the cardigan. Took me about 4 months to knit it on 2,5 mm and 3 mm Needles.

My added length wasn´t really necessary, because that cardigan is longer than the usual vintage pattern (which tend to be quite short on me). The sleeves are also slightly longer than bracelet length, but i´m fine with it.

I still need to wash it, hopefully the puckering from sewing in the sleeves will soften out a bit.

All in all, it is quite nice!

I found buttons i would like to use, but i'm not sure which one i prefer. Although Button Nr.2 does look nice. So why not make a poll.

First the pictures, because not all buttons are easy to photograph. (Button Nr.1 is on top, Button Nr.4 on the bottom)
