The Tale of Finishing the Bubble Pullover

I mentioned somewhere that I ran out of kidmohair for the Bubble Pullover, which I knit from one strand of kidmohair and one strand of ordinary wool. Thus, I needed to order 25 g more. Wanting these 200g of 100% silk yarn seen in front of the photo to knit together with some of my other stash, I purchased what I thought would be the same yarn at a company different from the one I originally ordered the kidmohair from.


Of course, it wasn't the same colour - not even close. So --- I had to order a ball from where I originally bought the kidmohair as well:

Unfortunately, hat is more than 25 g odd balls added to the stash, but I think I'll manage. Anyway, I'm happy that I finished the Bubble Pullover 'cause it is absolutely awesome!! I'll try to wear this sweater to pieces because it is just sooooo nice to wear!

I made it less baggy than it is in the book (Knitting Nature) - I think that suits me better. And here is a detail: The buttons are ladybirds:

Knitted from approx. 130 g of dark blue kidmohair and approx. 200 g of lighter blue (2 different colours actually since 2 of the pentagons and one cuff has a different colour) 100% wool from Henrichsens Uldspinderi.

In this way, my stash is now reduced by another 330 g, i.e. 1738 g in total since February 25.

I did not buy yarn for 4 months of the Stashalong. Now I've earned a decent amount-allowed-to-buy (40% of what I knit up), so I've made some purchases as you can see. Furhtermore, I have some cashmere coming from Posh Yarn -mmmmmm!

The free day I have earned from finishing the Bubble Pullover as part of the June KAL in KAL on Stashalong will be used on my holidays in Göteborg or at getknitted.com.
