Sorry for the massive absence of posts in January – it was one thing after the other all month. I have been really busy with work, went on holiday to Bulgaria snowboarding and then got ill – I only just feel like I’m getting back to normal.
So, Laika – I started knitting this in the Summer and finished it in October so why the wait for blogging? Well, though it fitted – I knew that it could fit a lot better. I finally got around to taking some pictures last Sunday and I absolutely love my new hoodie.
Pattern – Laika by Ysolda Teague
Yarn – Wollmeise Lace-Garn in Fritzi Frizzante.
Size – 36″ bust
Buttons – Vintage look yellow buttons (love!)
Needles – 3.25mm Knit Pro metal interchangeable circulars (managed to bend one of them majorly)
Started – 26 July 2012
Finished – 2nd October 2012
Comments/Mods – Absolutely love. No mods made and feel like knitting another one (maybe – what is wrong with me!? It took so long!) with a zipper.

It turned out wonderfully! Love the buttons….Love the hood!
I wonder if yarn knows how lucky it is to have Steph for a friend? The sweater is great, and you make it look fabulous.
A very pretty hoodie
Super cute! I think if I ever made a laika I would do a zipper.
That is absolutely gorgeous, love the yarn colour and the yellow buttons. You did an amazing job!
Love it love it love it!! It suits you brilliantly and the colour is FAB. PS It did not take you a long time, I still have Skelf on the needles (and Lauriel still need finishing off!) xx
