After a long while I went to Helsinki for a short visit. Brought a pile of knitwear to Marianne and saw some knitting friends.

Happy Independence Day!

A good friend has sent me some cotton named Lily, 100 % cotton, 100 g/392 m. This friend of mine has knitted with two strands some textured patterns. I thought I could do a summer top with "brick" pattern. But then problems started. 

Just a picture. It says more than enough.

I bought this yarn last summer in Lithuania. I assumed 1000 m is enough for a size S sweater with some positive ease. But then it became a bit of dramatic story.
