Auhind/Award

Mul on au saada autasu Lindalt, kes on norra kudumisdisainer. Saime tuttavaks Ravelrys ja sõbrustame.
I am honoured to receive an award from Linda who is a Norwegian knitting designer. We got acquainted on Ravelry and are friends.

Reeglid on sellised (ma ei hakka tõlkima eesti keelde, läheb väga pikaks).
Here are the rules.
When you receive the award, and choose to accept it, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated you.  Then:

•  Pass the award on to at least 3-5 ( I stretched it to 6) other blogs and ask them 11 questions that you have created.
• Make sure that you let them know that you have nominated them!
• You are not allowed to nominate the blog that nominated you!
• Make sure that the blogs that you choose have 200‑3000 or less followers.
  Ma ei pea sellest viimasest reeglist kinni, kõik regulaarsed lugejad ei pruugi registreetuda jälgijatena.
  I am not going to stick to the last rule because not all regular readers are necessarily registered as followers.

11 fakti minust/11 facts about myself
1.  Olen iseõppija nii kudumises kui ka paljudes muudes asjades./I have taught myself knitting and many other things.
2. Kudumine on pannud mind rohkem mõtlema isiklikust stiilist, kuigi olen alati teadnud, mis on minu oma ja mis ei ole./Knitting has made me think more about personal style, albeit I've always known what is mine and what is not.
3. Lemmikvärvid on must, hall, lilla, tumepunane, tumeroheline./My favourite colours are black, grey, purple, dark red, dark green.
4. Ma ei arva, et minimalism on millestki loobumine. See on kas inimesele omane või mitte./I don't think minimalism equals to giving something up. Either it is characteristic of you or not at all.
5. Mul praktiliselt pole sirgeid vardaid ega sukkavardaid, töötan alati ringvarrastega./I have practically no straight needles or DPNs, I always knit with circulars.
6. Mu lemmiklõngad on Aade Lõng (aka Kauni), Fabel (Drops), leedu linane, ka mitte väga karvased peenikesed mohäärid (ei ole konkreetset firmat). Viimasel ajal meeldivad väga RebelYarni lõngad. /My favourite yarns are Aade Lõng (aka Kauni), Fabel (Drops), Lithuanian linen and also not very hairy laceweight mohairs (no particular company). Recently I've become an admirer of RebelYarn yarns.
7. Õpetuste kirjutamine võib tunduda tülikas, aga see arendab tohutult./Writing patterns may seem boring but doing this enhances your development just enormously.
8. Must ja hall ei ole depressiooni ega peitupugemise värvid. Värvide tõlgendamine sõltub palju kultuurist. Loodan kunagi kirjutada nendest pikemalt./Black and grey are not colours of depression and escape. Interpretantion of colours is a culture-dependent thing to a great extent. I hope to elaborate on this once.
9. Hea meelega vaatan kudumeid poes. Saab väga palju õppida./I examine knitwear in stores with pleasure. You can learn quite a bit.
10. Seda teate nagunii: kõik mu kudumid on õmblusteta. Mõtleme kohe kolmemõõtmeliselt!/You know this anyway: all my knits are seamless. Let us think  in 3 dimensions from the start!
11. Ei ole kudumisega seotud, aga las olla. Olen suur kohvijooja./It is not related to knitting but let it be. I tend to drink a lot of coffee.

Siis peab vastama Linda küsimustele:
Then I have to answer Linda's questions:

1. Where are you right now? - Kodus/At home.
2. If you could beam yourself, where would you go in this exact moment? - Oleks kodus edasi/I would stay at home as I am now.
3. How does your usual Sunday look like? - Midagi erilist. Töötan, koon, käin kõndimas./Nothing special. I work, knit and go for a walk.
4. How do you relax? - Loen või vaatan ilusaid kudumeid Ravelrys./I read or I look for beautiful knits on Ravelry.
5. If you were to learn a new craft/hobby what would it be? - Teeks (hõbe)ehteid./ Jewelry making (silver).
6. What inspires you? - Värvid, 1920-ndate mood, funktsionalistlik arhitektuur, ei oska kõike nimetada./Colours, the 1920s fashion, functionalist architecture, I probably cannot list everything.
7. Name your favorite yarn or flower, if you could only pick one? - Raasiku villane 8/2 või 8/3/ Wool by Aade Lõng 8/2 or 8/3.
8. What would be your dream job? - Jätaks kõik, nagu on praegu./I would leave everything as it is now.
9. What is your worst craft/hobby disaster, that you can reveal? - Uskumatu, aga ma ei oska nimetada! Võib-olla pole see katastroof, aga lihtsalt naljakas juhtum: päris algajana hakkasin kuduma rätikut õpetuse järgi, see oli kolmnurkne rätik, mida tuli alustada laiemast äärest ja kahandada. Ja see tuli liiga väike, tuli välja mõelda mingi äärepits./It's unbelievable but I am unable to name it! Maybe this is not a disaster but just a funny occasion: as a beginner I decided to knit a shawl from a pattern, it was a triangular shawl, started from the widest edge and with decreases. And it was too small, so I had to invent some edge lace.
10. Worst task you have to do? - Kui tõsised kohustused, mis on seotud kuhugi minekuga, esinemisega jne, on pärast kl 15. Olen hommikune inimene, pärastlõunal pea ei tööta./If I had serious obligations that suppose going somewhere or giving a talk etc after 3 p.m. I am a morning person and in the late afternoon my head is not functioning properly.
11. What is your favourite garment? It can either be a type or one you wear whenever you have the chance? - Ilmselt sviiter. /Probably, sweater.
