May the Force be with you

Det tog et par forsøg, men det lykkedes! Sweateren blev færdig i går efter en dag med intensiv hæftning af ender og syning. Den er anstrengelserne værd, synes jeg.
Jeg er virkelig glad for, at jeg strikkede den om fra ribkanten og op, for den var bare for lille. Heldigvis blev den så færdig inden jeg rejser hjem, og det var virkelig skønt selv at aflevere den og se, at han kunne lide den!

It took a few tries, but it turned out right! The sweater was done yesterday after a day of intense sewing of ends and sleeves. It is worth the trouble, if you ask me.
I'm really happy that I re-did it from the rib-edge up, because it would have ended up too small.
Fortunately, it got done before I leave for home, and it was just great to give it away myself and see how he liked it!

Han er meget tilfreds, og den passer perfekt!
Faktisk tog det jo mindre end 2 uger at strikke den pga. alle rejserne og min ferie. Ærmerne nåede jeg i flyet. Ellers var det heller ikke gået så stærkt!
Lidt fakta? Strikket i det tykke wollmeise på pind 3,5, 3,75 og 4 mm. Hvad jeg nu lige havde. Den vejer 460 gram.
Mønstrene fandt jeg bl.a. her.
Antal masker har jeg fundet i en anden opskrift (inden jeg justerede!), og selve faconen er jo bare lige op og ned. Ikke noget underligt der.

He is very happy with it, and it fits perfectly!
It actually took less than 2 weeks to make it, due to all the traveling and my vacation. The sleeves were made on the plane. Otherwise it wouldn't have been so quick!
A few facts? Made in the DK weight wollmeise, using needles size 3.5, 3.75 and 4 mm. What I had brought. It weighs 460 grams.
The patterns were found partly here.
The number of stitches were found in another pattern (before adjusting the number!), and the shape is very basic. Nothing peculiar.

Inden jeg fik syet på symaskine og klippet op til ærmer, fik vi lige et bonusbillede. Han er sjov!

Before using the sewing machine and cutting open for sleeves, we had a bonus picture. He is fun!
