Vigdis, as promised



So, here it is! I did make the hood from the book, but I don't like the way I look in the pictures modelling that. I also made this coif from knitty, since it will also keep my ears warm, and sometimes my hair is too bulky to wear the hood. I think it goes with the tunic very nicely, and it was so easy and fast to knit. I may have to make one to go with every sweater I make from now on! I will be knitting the backpack also, but haven't started on that quite yet.

Those little short (30 cm?) knitting needles are very nice and good for more than just necks. Although I did the ribbing at the bottom of the sleeves with dpns, the circular needle made it all the way down to that point without the knitting having to stretch too much. Here and here are a couple of pictures of Vigdis, almost finished, and you can see how the sleeves were done.

Yellow Jacket is coming along also.



As you can see, I have just barely cast on for the second sleeve. Then I get to attach the sleeves and start the raglan decreases at the top of the cardigan. This is my first raglan, BTW. Well, I have done raglans for dolls, but I did them from the top down, so this is a little different, and it is my first human sized raglan.
