Varrukatest ja mustritest/About sleeves and stitch patterns

Lõng on mõnus ja kudumine edeneb. Nüüd on mul varrukad valmis. Kui see pole just kimono-, raglaan- või ümmargusest passest eraldatav varrukas, siis on tihti nii, et see võib mõjutada kudumi pikkust (s.o. varrukas tõstab kogu asja pisut üles). Sellepärast teen nii: koon kere osa umbes taljeni ja teen varrukad valmis. Teoreetiliselt võib mõjutada ka krae, aga minu arust mitte nii oluliselt. Sallkrae, mida kavatsen siiagi kududa, minu teada ei avalda üldpikkusele mõju.

The yarn is pleasant and my knitting is progressing. Now I have both sleeves. If it is not a kimono, raglan nor a sleeve growing out of the round yoke, very often it can affect the general length of a garment (that is, sleeves raise the whole thing a little bit). That is why I usually do the following: I knit the torso part approximately to the waist and then knit the sleeves. Theoretically, a collar may have some influence as well but not very dramatically. A shawl collar that I am going to knit in this case, does not affect the general length.

Siin on varruka muster. Tegin kalkulatsiooni ja vaatasin, et põhimustri mustrikord on päris lai, kas tasub siis üle koormata (austatud lugejad teavad, et ühelt poolt köidavad mind pitsimustrid, teiselt poolt minimalism, püüangi kahe vahel balansseerida - ehk vääriks see eraldi postitust). Küljel on aga juba mustririba, mis tundus sobivat põhimustriga, sellepärast otsustasin siingi korrata. 

Here is the stitch pattern for the sleeves. I did some calculations and realized that the pattern repeat of the main stitch is rather broad and maybe it would be counterintuitive to overdo it (distinguished readers know that, on the one hand, I am drawn to lace stitch patterns and, on the other, to minimalism, trying to balance between the two; maybe it is worth a special post). But there is already a small stitch pattern on the side and, apparently, it goes well together with the main pattern; thus, I decided to repeat it here.
