To the dunes!
The Red Dune sweater is ready. While I showed you my lovely Noro yarn, I was busy knitting it.
If I should give this sweater a name, it would be something medieval. (You can suggest something if you like.) The sweater just gives me that kind of a feeling... It was not intentional, it just turned out that way. Also, this sweater does not even look like the sweater that inspired me, my sweater has less cables and it's slightly flared at the bottom.
Details
Yarn: 700 g Ornaghi Filati Red Dune, 100% mercerised cotton (and I still have one ball left even though I thought I would run out of yarn!)
Needles: 6 mm
Pattern: my own "make it up as you go" pattern
Hindsights: if I had known that I had enough yarn, I would have made the sleeves a little more flared to enhance the medieval feeling

Jo, jag kan läsa svenska. :) Det är alltid en överraskning för mig när jag kan också tala svenska! Jag tror att jag är bara för blyg och så har jag glömt bort mycket...
Anyway, Aura is a nice name. It can be a woman's name, and there is a town by that name in south-western Finland... and there's a blue cheese called Aura as well. Oh, and there is the Aura river that runs through Turku! (The name of the river comes most likely from an old Swedish word "aathra" which means a water route, also the modern Swedish word "åder" comes from that word.)
But to the point: the word Aura has two meanings that are completely different. It can mean a plough or a plow (isn't that romantic?) or have the same meaning as the English word aura, meaning radiation, emission (like the aura around you).
Hej!
I do like that sweater, its so nice... why dont you call it " Aura" I have always love thatr namne. BUT I perhaps mean something bad in finnsh??? Kan du läsa svenska??
