This vest is knitted in Kasisma classic Drops garnstudio yarn. It is very warm so no need for long sleeves. The stitch is Honey Stitch.
The vest is knitted in no time as the stitch is easy and very relaxing to knit.

Knitting seems to put things in a new perspective…
My husband has style, especially when it comes to knitting. He wants the best yarn (Fare island wool), he is very particular about the colour and he wants the garment to be stylish in a not to dominant way.
I just want to ensure he wears whatever I knit for him! But of course it has to be a little fun to knit as well. Therefore he has designed this vest, but I have managed to sneak in a small cable on the back (can always be coved up by a jacket if it is not appropriate – but we both know it is there).
I wish he will wear this vest until it needs repair…
Malmø – Sweden
again 
I have recently been to San Francisco – California. The nature around San Francisco was fantastic and San Francisco was a lovely city.
Apart from nice views, cable cars and nice food San Francisco also offers the opportunity to explore the city and its many nice areas through yarn shops. There are several nice shops in San Francisco, but I would recommend Urban knitting studio, Artfibers, Noe Knit and ImagiKnit. They will not only tempt you with nice yarn, book and accessories, but also show you some nice part of the city.
In Greenland they have long been recognised for their beautiful wristlet (a tajarutit in Greenlandic). Pearls and yarn are knitted in order for a lovely pattern to emerge.
A book by Lise Stender presenting the technique has just been published. It is published in four languages English, French, Danish and Greenlandic and can be required in The Greenlandic House in Copenhagen.
Knitting is nice in solitude, but even nicer with friends. The only “drawback” is that more ideas are developed – as if I do not have plenty of half done projects.
Furthermore it suddenly becomes natural to knit in nice cafes (Royal Copenhagen), hours can be spend in nice knitting shops (Betty, Sommerfuglen, Uldstedet) and knitting in public is the common thing to do.
I love yogurt, especially the natural kind. But the yogurt seems to taste better if there is a picture with a lady knitting on the packet…
I think Sweden and the Swedes are great!
I just had a very nice holiday in Gothenburg – Sweden, and of course I used some time checking out knitting shops.
A shop I would recommend if you come by Gothenburg is Deisy Design. The shop is in the centre of town. Among other things the shop had some knit picks double pointed needles I just could not resist.
The weather was not perfect but it was a love holiday even so. I love windy weather as this gives me an excuse wearing a nice sweater….
I think knitting in public day is a fantastic concept. I often knit in public – yes I am officially a knitter and not ashamed of it…
My friends and I wanted to be part of the bigger happening, but meet up at the wrong venue. The venue where my friends and I had our knit in public day was Dansk Design Centre. Very nice tea and cake, and the food smelled very nice. Lovely day, lovely people and hopefully more people got inspired to knit. Next year I will be back knitting in public!
