Not the best photos known to mankind, but here it is, my new wonderful dress:
I was a bit skeptical back when I started it (or rather, when I started considering whether to make it a couple of months ago when the VK Fall 08 issue landed in my mailbox), but I'm not anymore! Of a garment can be cozy and fashionable at the same time, this one is. I've been wearing it all day round the university and I just love it! The length of it is perfect for this years short dresses and tights fashion and that kangaroo pocket is more ingenious than I actually thought it would be. It looks great with a belt or a ribbon below the bust as well, but I wore it like this today.Linking to Ravelry, the pattern is #22 Twinkle Cabled Dress from VK Fall 08, and the yarn is Cascade Magnum in the fabulous colour (my favourite) Blueberry #9464 (purchased at wollbox.de).
It's another of those extremely fast bulky knits. Being very busy at school (and liking it!) it took me a week to knit (I knitted a bit on a sock and a sweater as well...). I must say work gets the best of me these days, but I really don't mind.
Read about the few mods I made in my Ravelry post.

I love it!!
Hvor er den dog fin. Og en skøn, skøn farve.
Det er virkelig et flot stykke arbejde. Det er fedt at snoninger er blevet så moderne.
Jeg er selv og gang med at strikke en poncho med snoninger. Du kan se projektet på min hjemmeside, hvis du har lyst. :-)
Thank you! / Tak! :D
Pernille - glæder mig til at se mere af din snoningsponcho! :)
