Noget gult / Something yellow

I lørdags skulle jeg til fødselsdag. Strømperne var færdige, og der var ikke mere at strikke på kjolen. Men jeg ville jo have et strikketøj med!
Der var ikke tid til at kigge mønstre og sådan, så jeg greb noget gult garn, nogle strikkepinde i rigtig størrelse og længde, og nogle baby-strikkehæfter og tænkte, at det nok løste sig.
Der var bare ikke rigtig nogle af mønstrene jeg kunne lide, så til sidst valgte jeg at slå op til en vest. Jeg vidste ikke, hvor meget garn der ville være eller hvor langt det ville række.
"Vesten" ender nu nok som en sweater, har jeg fundet ud af, med et eller andet billede på maven - sikkert noget hæklet som skal syes på. Selv om babyen som forventet er en pige (og ja - hun kom om natten efter kjolen var færdig!) tænker jeg et eller andet som kan bruges til både piger og drenge. Babyer er jo ligeglade!
Jeg venter i spænding på hvordan den ender med at blive.......

Last Saturday, I was going to the birthday. The socks were done, and there was nothing left to knit on the dress. But I wanted to bring some knitting!
I didn't have time to search my patterns and such, so I grabbed some yellow yarn, some needles of the right size and length, and some baby-pamphlets and thought that it would probably work out.
Turned out I didn't really like the patterns, so in the end, I chose to cast on for a vest.
Since I didn't know for sure how much yarn I had, I didn't know how far it would go.
The "vest" turns out to become a sweater, however, and I think it will have some kind of picture in front - probably a crochet figure sewn on. Although the baby - as expected - is a girl (and yeah - she did arrive during the night after I finished the dress!) I think some kind of motive that fits both boys and girls. Babies don't care!
I'm waiting very excitedly on how this one will turn out.......
