- Make sure you have got hold of Twinkle's Big City Knits and some beautiful chunky yarn before you start.
- Sleep till 10am cos you stayed up till after 2am last night.
- Have breakfast, surf the internet, read the newspaper.
- Cast on for the Best Friend Cardigan.
- Knit for 3 hours while waiting for the thunderstorm to blow over. After 3 hours you will have completed the body of the cardigan including knitting the shoulders together. Try it on and get the feeling that it'll turn out magnificently.
- Go for a 12 km run. That'll do you good.
- Shower, Skype your boyfriend who's soon to return from his never-ending (16 days) business trip to Houston (TX), knit the collar onto the body of the cardigan, prepare and eat you extremely healthy dinner wishing it would all of a sudden turn into a delicious pizza!
- Cast on for the first sleeve while watching Robin Hood on TV - and finish it.
- Cast on for the second sleeve while drooling over Sean Connery in the Saturday night James Bond movie.
- Sew the sleeves on to the body (be brave, this is the worst step!).
- Weave in ends.
- Sew on the buttons.
- Try it on (and think: niiiiiice), and move one of the buttons a little.
- Think: Damn, I look gorgeous in this one!
- Soak it in cold water and leave it drying on a towel on the bathroom floor overnight (optional).
There you go! And I tell you this one is a good one! Unfortunately, it is now way too dark for photos; I'll post some tomorrow or Monday - you have to see this one!

Wauw - det er da et tempo, der vil noget!
Glæder mig til at se fotos.
:-) Britt
Så vil jeg glæde mig til billederne.
12 km! wow!
That's so funny! I can't wait to start one of Twinkle knits - I have the book and ordered some Cascade Magnum through Wollbox. I love your Hoodie - I've been eyeing that on Ravelry and think this is one of the nicest Twinkle Hoodies I've seen. And I'm anxious to see the pics of this one.
Britt - jeps, det går stærkt på pind 15mm! ;D
Julia - ja, jeg er meget glad for at løbe :)
Og så er der billeder! :D
Juicyknits - that IS funny; and Cascade Magnum is a great yarn if you ask me. I've now got some if Twinkle's Soft Chunky as well, and I think Cascade Magnum is just as good. I'll be looking forward to seeing your Twinkle knit - I'm so fond of those designs!
Photos are up! :D
