Yarn Along - kotes es olvasas

I have two passions that keep following me in life. One of them is reading, and the other one is knitting. I am sure this is not a revelation for you, if you read my blog from time to time. However, today I am going to combine the two with this icon, Yarn Along.
The idea behind this icon is to match up two things you enjoy. It could be a description of a knitting, and some musings over a book; or it can be a picture to illustrate your progress in knitting/crocheting and the book.
 This is how I join in with Ginny on Wednesdays about knitting and reading.

I am almost done with this little cardigan. I made it for my niece's Son, who is two weeks old now.... I hope it will fit him. They live in Europe, so it is a "test knit" for size...
I have to crochet around, and make a loop for a button and find a button. The ones I saw in Michaels were not my favorite. This is a warm yarn, so he might be able to wear it for a few weeks and then with the warmer weather coming, I will start a new one with cotton.
The book is a collection of essays of people who knit in Brooklyn, and share how and when they started to knit. I love the idea, and it is an excellent light reading before I go to sleep.

 
Ket dolog van amit soha nem unok meg, az olvasas es a kotes. Gondolom, ez nem nagy hir, ha mar olvastatok a blogot, de most elhataroztam, hogy osszekotom oket a Yarn Along gombbal.
Itt az az otlet, hogy ossze hozzuk azt, ami orommel tolt el minket. Az lehet egy kotes/horgolas leirasa, es egy konyvrol valo monfondirozas. Es lehet egy foto is, amin a konyv es az alakulo kotes/horgolas van.
Igy csatlakozom Ginny szerdai olvasok es kotok oldalahoz.

Mar majdnem kesz vagyok ezzel a kis kardigannal. Az unokahugom ket hetes kisfianak keszul, remelem jo lesz ra, de mindenesetre ez lesz a teszt kotes, ehhez majd tudok viszonyitani kesobb.
Amugy is meleg a pulcsi, es jonnek a melegebb napok, (remelem) igy a kovetkezo az mar pamut lesz.
Most meg korbe kell horgolnom, es egy kis gomblyukat kialakitanom meg valahonnan elovarazsolni egy prezentalhato gombot... amit tegnap a boltban lattam, nem tetszett.
A konyv az egy essze kollekcio, mindegyik essze bemutat egy kotost aki Brooklynban el, es arrol szol, hogy mikor es miert kezdtek el kotni. Pont jo laza es szorakoztato kis olvasmany mielott elalszom.

  4. This is a great looking little pattern, what a fantastic gift knit. I have some babies to knit for, so many are due that 5 hours per project sounds about right!

  5. Does this sweater really take only 5 hours? Yours is darling. I enjoyed reading that book. She has written another "Knitting Memories." I liked it too.

    1. I think it took me a bit more, let's say 8, and that includes my hesitance on the buttons. I ended up using 3 buttons... Thanks for the book info, I fond her at the knitting section at the library. Will read the other one as well!
