Noget andet / Something different

En af mine kolleger skal snart forsvare sin doktor-disputats. Han var så venlig til min ph.d. at give et gavekort til en garnbutik (sammen med en af de andre, der er lige så god til at finde på gaver...), og er blevet far til nr. 2 for ca. et halvt år siden.
Jeg havde tænkt, at han til sit forsvar skal have en noget utraditionel gave - nemlig en Bella-vest til sin lille datter. (Som han iøvrigt allerede har ringet til "børnelægen" om for at få et godt råd. Hvad er venner til?)
Eller også er det hele bare en dårlig undskyldning for at få lov at strikke den lille Bella-vest? Det er et vildt sødt mønster.......
Jeg strikker i bomuld, og det bliver så fint. (Selv om maskeantallet ikke passer. Beklager.)
Iøvrigt - tørklædet endte hos min søster. Den mindste niece dømte "KRADSULD!" (Jeps. Hun har ikke fortjent det!) og de andre var bare ikke hurtigere nok. Til gengæld er det perfekt til den grønne frakke, det nu hører sammen med!

One of my colleagues is going to defend his doctoral thesis soon (a bit like a ph.d., only much bigger. It is a Scandinavian title.) For my own ph.d. defense he was kind enough to give me a gift-card for a yarn shop (with one of the others, who also give really great gifts.....), and he had his second child about 6 months ago.
I thought that for his defense he will have an un-traditional gift - a Bella-vest for his little daughter. (By the way, he already called the "pediatrician" for advice once. What are friends for?)
Or maybe all this is just an excuse to make the pretty little vest? It is so cute!
I'm using cotton, and it is just beautiful. (Even though the stitch number is wrong. Sorry.)
By the way - the scarf ended up at my sister's. My youngest niece cried "ITCHY!" (Oh yes. She never deserved it!) and the other nieces just weren't quick enough. But it is just perfect for the green coat it belongs with now!
