from: Vintage Knits, Sarah Dallas
yarn: Karabella Vintage Cotton
Yay, after many weeks of endless k2, p2 ribbing I have finally finished something! I love the Vintage Knits book by Sarah Dallas and now I got to make something from it. The yarn was on sale at Kpixie, an amaizing online yarn shop. The shipping is a bit expensive but the packages have arrived to really fast every time. Sometimes one just doesn't want to wait.
Look at me grinning :) I'm really happy with the result and it shows. The sweater fits nicely.
If someone in Finland is interested in trying out the Karabella yarn, I'm selling my leftover yarn at huuto.net. Go check it out and make an offer.
Now on to the next project. I just can't stop knitting right now.

Todella hieno tuli!
Sopii siulle hyvin!
Kiitoksia, mä olen aika yllättynyt että ei jäänyt keskeneräiseksi kun oli niin paljon 2o 2n neulomista.
Ninni,
That sweater is SO nice! You are a great knitter! What does "Weiner" mean in Finnish? I sent a couple of pieces to my friend who loves the word "weiner" and she was SO happy!
She's mentioned it in two blogs lately.

and on receiving the nougat:

Do you pronounce the 't' in 'nougat'? In Australia we say "noo-gaa", but in America they say "noo-gat".
Neither wiener or nougat are Finnish words really, wiener is German and means Viennese, referring to the Capital of Austria, Vienna (=> Wien is the original German name for the town).
I guess the recipe for this specific type of nougat comes from Vienna, thus the name. We pronounce nougat more like "noo-gaa".
I'm amused because you're so amused by that word:)but really, there's no mystery here.
