Solen (The Sun)

It's finally on display! Starting back in February, I took some huge breaks in knitting this one. Finally, I procrastinated sewing the side seams for almost a month. But now its done (still needs a washing, but I've started wearing it): Solen (English: The Sun) from Marianne Isager's book Japan published about a year ago. 

I made the following modifications: 

• 1 "column of suns" less, i.e. I have 3 or 4 circles on each row, not 4 or 5. MI usually designs very wide sweaters for my taste; turns out I was right - this one fits me.
• I made St st sleeves with garter stitch edgings instead of the full garter stitch ones called for in the pattern.
• I've randomly placed two small, red circles (like the ones on the front) on the back instead of one huge one.

I like this sweater. It's not going to be quite as much a favourite as the Cabled Spiral or the IncREDibly Red one, but I think I'm going to wear it quite often - it came out better than I anticipated!

It's knitted using 1 strand of Spinni and 1 strand of the equivalent of Tvinni bought directly from Henrichsens Uldspinderi. The red/pink/orange circles are Tvinni, Tvinni Mohair, and some other yarn from Henrichsens.
