Men, I would have given up if I had to rip up a whole glove! And it does not seem to be knitted on 6mm pins;-) By the way, your hair looks great. What a surprise! See you in August. Love the glove.

I can't say I saw many Danish knitting books, in fact this is the only one I remember seeing. I bought it in M&M on Laugavegur. I think that the reason for the back looking so neat is that I do the backstitching inversely, so that the front in fact doesn't look quite as neat. In this case it doesn't matter, as it's darkbrown in color and the thread is pretty much the same color as the knitted border. It's difficult to describe, but the way I've been backstitching is to jump one stitch forward on the front side and then half a stitch back on the back side. I think I should do it the other way. Does this make any sense? Hehe, also the link is just to the shop, they’re using frame (ick!). I can’t say I saw many Danish knitting books, in fact this is the only one I remember seeing.

I'm sure yours looks nicer than mine in the back, can we all see the back side? Your mom´s sweater looks like it will be nice and I am sure crocheting the edge will do the trick. Is there a good bookshop in Reykjavík for Danish knitting books? I am looking for this one: http://www.sommerfuglen.dk/butik/butik_frame.asp You can see the designer's things here: http://www.isagerstrik.dk/1-80-strik-a-la-carte.html I sewed my lopapeysa zipper in the heat too, ick ick ick.
