Strasky and family trip

  The first time I saw this belted sweater I fell in love. I even tried to knit it two times but at first time I used a mohair yarn gathered in two strands and that was a fault. It didn't look well. The cardi got ripped. The second time I used some acrylic yarn my MIL gave me few years ago and there wasn't enough yarn for collar and belt. I finished the cardi with other yarn color but it ended at charity box.  

  Next time I used again acyrlic yarn from my stash and third time was rewarding: the cardi was completed but I had to modify it a lil' bit since I used thinner yarn.  I was knitting sts as for M size and rows as for S size. Well, although I like this pattern a lot it ended with to short body part with to long sleeves.  Lesson learned: knitting in parts and then sewing them may be very surprising in finished project measurements!   Also in addition to this post I will add a few photos of yesterday's family trip to highest hills near my city - Łysa Góra & Święty Krzyż.
