Usually I do not start a new project if I have another work in progress. However, sometimes you get an idea and cannot help trying it out. I made the chart and decided to make a small swatch but no way! I got carried away. In one day I made this thing. Please look at the stitch pattern.
Siin on lähipilt.
Here is a close view.
Näha on, et see on üsk ja sama muster, ainult pahem pool pole sugugi "pahem". Hea teada, mõnikord on vaja mustreid, mis on viisaka väljanägemisega mõlemal pool (nt krae jms puhul). Järgmine pilt annab ettekujutuse mõõtudest.
As you can see, this is the same stitch pattern and the wrong side is not "wrong" at all. It is good to know because you need patterns that look decent on both sides (for instance, collar etc). The next picture gives some idea about the size.
Ja obligatoorne aknapilt.
And an obligatory window picture.
Lõng on Indiecita alpaka, 50 g/160 m. Pole aimu, palju ma ära kasutasin, sest üks tokk oli poolik. Ehk umbes üle ühe toki. Vardad 4 mm. Selle lõnga ostsin kunagi, kui olin algaja. Tean, et sellest on tehtud ilusaid kudumeid, aga ausalt öeldes pole see minu lemmik. Esiteks, olen alpakale enamasti allergiline (Dropsi alpaka on imekombel erand). Teiseks, puhtsubjektiivselt tahaks siia kas peenemat ja õhulisemat lõnga (peenvillast, peenikest meriinot, mohääri) või hoopis jõulisemat ja tugeva keeruga lõnga. Sellegipoolest arvan, et eksperiment läks asja ette Ma ei räägi veel, kuidas ja mida tegin, võib-olla annab selle mustriga veel töötada mitut moodi. Mõistagi annan teada eksperimendi jätkust.
The yarn is Indiecita alpaca, 50 g/160 m. No clue about how much I used because one skein had been already used. Probably slightly over one skein. Needles 4 mm. I bought the yarn when I was a beginner. I am aware of beautiful knits made with this yarn but, frankly speaking, this is not my favourite. First, I have developed allergy towards alpaca (Drops alpaca is a miraculous exception). Second, personally, for a project like this I would like either a lighter and airier yarn (laceweight wool, laceweight merino, mohair) or, quite opposite, a yarn with a tighter twist and stronger definition. Still, I believe the experiment was successful. I am not going to describe yet what and how I did, maybe this pattern can be used in a variety of ways. For sure, I will let you know about the further experimenting.

The pattern looks very nice, like waves in the ocean :-)) Your experiment looks like a lovely mini shawl :-)) I am very curious what are you going to do next with this stitch pattern :-))
Hallo Anna,
da hast Du ja ein wunderschönes Muster entworfen!
Es ist immer sehr inspirierend ,was Du uns alles zeigst auf Deinem Blog.
Liebe Grüße Annette
Aivan mahtava oivallus! Anna hyvä, juuri tätä taitoa sinussa eniten ihailen!
Anna, your experiment looks lovely! I really like you little shawl. It will be useful in the cool evening.
The reversible pattern is a great idea and it will work for a vest, and for details. It looks like ripples on the water.
Väga armas muster mõlemalt poolt!
Diana, thank you, I think this pattern has a potential.
Annette, vielen Dank! Das Muster gefählt mir sehr und ich werde es sicher weiter nutzen.
Mia, voi kiitoksia! Katsotaan, mitä siitä kuviosta syntyy!
Lidia, thank you very much. I will make it in a different yarn, either Estonian wool that gives a great texture and stitch definition, or something airy like mohair or laceweight wool/merino.
Kaja, tänan!
Hauska mallikuvio! Olen samaa mieltä, että se olisi varmasti parempi ohuemmasta langasta.
