The blues
- Felted Tweed

A lovely and affirming sweater which is a bit demanding to make. On some rounds you are working with 3 colors at the same time, sometimes with more than 5 stitches in between each color change. Make sure you cross the yarn around each other on the wrong side to keep it neat. You will need to work the stranded colorwork pattern back and forth in rows at the top of the body and sleeve cap. But it is worth the effort, good luck!

En herlig og livsbejaende genser som krever litt arbeid. På noen omganger strikker du med 3 farger samtidig, noen ganger er det mer enn 5 m mellom hvert fargeskift, pass da på å tvinne garnet rundt hverandre på vrangen slik at det blir pent. Du må strikke mønster fram og tilbake på slutten av bolen og på ermetoppen. Men det er absolutt verd arbeidet, lykke til!
