"Estrenando mis pájaros amarillos"
"Wearing my yellow birds for the first time!"
In Spanish they have one word meaning "wear for the first time" - estrenar. I like that! We don't have a similar word in Norwegian, and, as far as I know, not in English either (correct me if I'm wrong!)
So here I am, wearing my yellow birds:
This was such a fun knit (apart from the currogated ribbing, that is). I can see why Jettshin has made so many. I have another one in my head - but there are other projects to finish first...
My gauge is 23 for the body (needles 2,5 mm) and 28 for the yoke (needles 3,0 mm). It sounds like a huge difference, but the fit is perfect. The yellow yarn from Ninukka is a little thinner than Wollmeise, but it doesn’t matter, I think.
This was my first project with Wollmeise, and I do see why people love the yarn som much. My problem is that we have a meeting at work every Friday morning when the shop updates, so it's hard to get. We might have to change our meeting time...

Knallfin - og den sitter utrolig fint. Godt jobbet. Fristelsene bare vokser og vokser....
Takk for hyggelige kommentarer!
Ja, Pinneguri - jeg leste innlegget ditt og tenkte det var kanskje ikke så farlig å vise seg fram litt mer :-)
Genseren er god og myk å ha på, men faktisk litt i varmeste laget om dagen. Så det blir nok mer til bruk på andre årstider, med noe under.
Utrolig sød og velsiddende.
Fine farver du har sat sammen.
Jeg følger gerne din blog, for du har mange fantastiske projekter.
Skikkelig fin!! Gratulerer med ny genser! Syns fuglene dine var ekstra fine.
Jeg har hatt bilder av meg selv på bloggen flere ganger jeg - ingen som kjenner meg igjen likevel. Enten er bildene veldig dårlige, eller så er jeg mye vakrere i virkeligheten, haha :D
Ha en finfin uke!
Fantastisk vakker genser! Farger, mønster i det hele tatt! Gratulerer med vel utført arbeid og nytt plagg! :)
Un canesú fantástico. Me encanta como has unido esos colores, siempre me han gustado.
Me pregunto si el canesú tiene disminuciones o no. ¿Puedes mostrar una foto para verlo más de cerca ?
Gracias

Gracias Rosalia! Te contesto en inglés, porque a lo mejor será interesante para más gente:
All the decreases on the yoke are made after the stranded pattern. You can have a look at this photo on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/torirot/4716273789/in/set-72157604068121743/
I followed the pattern for the decreases, although I changed the motifs. If I make another one, I think I will start decreasing a little earlier.
Fin, fin, fin!! Perfekt faktisk!
Så fin den er! Det gjør seg virkelig med fuglene. Selv har jeg lurt litt på å lage en med dalahester ;) men de er kanskje litt i minste laget for at det skal bli fint.
Ha en fin Sankthansaften.
I know I've said this before, but it's worth saying again, amazing work! Very beautiful!
¡te ha quedado fantástico!
un abrazo,
SIONA
Thanks ladies!
