Lõpuks valmis/Finished at last

Head Vabariigiaastapäeva! Jakk on lõpuks valmis. Viimase hetkeni polnud selge, kas soovitud A-kuju on nähtav või ei. Igatahes kergelt seda on. Sellest lõngast kootud tükk ei lange hästi, on pehme, kudum pigem hõljub. Siin on hulk pilte. Pildistajaks on Anu ja kohaks Pronksi pood.

Have a nice Independence Day! The jacket is finished at last. To the very last moment it was not clear whether the desired A-shape is visible or not. At least, there is a light increase. The fabric does not fall well, it is soft and the knitwear floats in the air rather than drapes. Here are some pictures. Anu was the photographer and the place is Pronksi yarnshop.

Back view:

Siis mõtlesin, et oleks vaja midagi kontrastset näo lähedale. Valge pole minu värv. Selleks puhuks oli mul varutud üks lemmikkee. Selline kee kaela panna ja pilt must-valgeks teha, siis on peaaegu 1920-ndate hõng.

Then I thought that I needed something contrasting near the face. White is not my colour. For that purpose I had my favourite necklace in store. If you put it on and make the picture black-and-white, it is almost like 1920s.

Värviliselt ikka ka:

And the colour version:

Nüüd võib veenduda, et A-kuju on olemas:

Now you can see yourself that A-shape is present:

Siis tekkis mul veel üks mõte. Kui pole rätikut ega salli, aga tahad midagi kaela panna (ikka kontrasti mõttes), siis lõngapoes tuleb appi viht. Võta viht ja pane ümber kaela. Antud juhul on kaelas Aade Lõng 8/1.

Then yet another idea occured to me. If you don't have a shawl or a scharf but you want to put something around your neck (for the sake of contrast), then in a yarnshop you can use yarn. Take a hank of yarn and put around your neck. In this case I have Aade Lõng 8/1.

Nüüd midagi muud: poodi on saabunud uus lõng, villa-alpaka-polüakrüüli segu, tibukollane. Polüakrüüli on suht palju, kuid katsudes tundub täitsa kena.

Now something else: a new yarn in the shop, wool-alpaca-polyacryl blend, chiken-yellow. Indeed there is a great deal of polyacryl but when you touch the yarn it feels nice.

Muidugi tekkis mul kange tahtmine proovida, tegin kohe vardaga nr 3 proovilapi:

Needless to say, I wanted to try it and made a swatch with needles 3 mm:

Ja lõpuks uue asja (seekord tütre tellimuse) proovilapid. Lõng on hea tuntud Jil, kuigi pole sellest varem kudunud. Värv on pigem naturaalne valge.

And finally, swatches for something new (this time it is my daughter's order). The yarn is well-known Jil, although I had not tried it before. The true colour is natural white.
