'What to do while on holiday.

I have this great yarn in m y stash. 300 gr. Not much, but should be enough for a simple cardigan.
The yarn streches 450 m. pr. 100 gr.
I`ve been surching for a pattern that would suit the yarn and yesterday I was lucky to find it. 
Of course made for a another yarn, but with a little test knitting I found the gouage and needle size. 
With a little counting and meachuring I casted on. If everything works out well I will have a spare of aprox. 200 m !! 
The cardie is knittet top down, which will be a welcome change.
I also casted on this scarf with a lace edge. The yarn is from Hand Maiden Casbah . Color safari.
The yarn is purchased at Sommerfulgen
The pattern book is by the danish designer Lene Holme Samsøe. Books called : Mere feminin strikk.

Well I´m off to enjoy summer , sea,rowing, fishing, reading,knitting, being with family , sleeping a bit in the morning and just enjoy.
