Lõng ei taha lõppeda/The yarn is not going to end

Mõnikord on probleem, et lõng lõpeb otsa valel ajal vales kohas. Kuid seekord on lugu nii, et lõng ei taha lõppeda, seetõttu on top muutunud tuunikaks ja võib-olla muutub pealegi kleidiks!
Sometimes there is a risk of running out of yarn in a wrong time and in a wrong place. However, now the thing is that the yarn is not going to end, therefore, the top has turned into a tunic and the tunic will perhaps turn into a dress!

Järgides 1920-ndate sitiili, otsustasin teha madala "vöö":
According to the 1920s style, I decided to make a low "garter":

Ja mul on niipalju lõnga:
And this is how much yarn I have:

Veel uudiseid: eile käisin üle hulga aja Pronksi poes. Ja seal oli ka muid kudujaid ja me otsustasime, et teeme kudumisklubi. Nii et ettevõtlik Kersti tegigi klubile leheküle. Klubi käib koos laupäeviti alates kl 11, kes kuidas jõuab. Mul on hea meel!
And more news: yesterday I went to the Pronksi shop after quite a long break. And there were knitters there and we decided to establish a knitting club. So energetic Kersti made this site for the club. The club meets on Saturdays starting from 11 o'clock and you can come as you can make it. I am glad!

Pilte/Pictures

Lõppude lõpuks saime Kristiinaga kokku ja ta tegi pilte hallist vestist. Pildistamine toimus kohvikus Kompott. Tore koht, aga võib-olla mitte just pildistamiseks, ei saa kuidagi õiget valgust õiges kohas.
Finally Kristiina and I met and she took pictures of the grey vest. The session took place in the Kompott cafeteria. A pretty place but maybe not exactly for photo shoots, you cannot get the right light in the right place.

Muster:
The stitch pattern:

Ja see on minu meelest kõige parem pilt sellest vestist:

And this is, in my opinion, the best picture of the vest:

Lõng/Yarn: linane/linen (Mezgimo zona, Vilnius)

Vardad/Needles: 2 mm

Lõngakulu/Yarn used: 130 g

Varrukad valmis/Sleeves are done

Veel kord tänan kõiki, kes te kommenteerisite eelmist postitust. On hea teada, et mul on lugejaid ja et neid huvitab, mida teen.
I thank once more all of you who commented the previous post. It is good to know that I have readers and they care about what I do.

Nagu näha, varrukad on valmis. Kudusin samas lainelises mustris. Üleminekuks on mõned ripsiread.
As you see, the sleeves are done. I knitted in the same wave pattern. Some garter stitch rows mark transition.

Ja siin on üldvaade. Nüüd koon edasi ja vaatan, kauaks mul lõnga jätkub. Varrukateta pikema topi jaoks nagu see kulub mul 120 g ringis.

And here is a general view. Now I am going to knit further and we shall see how much yarn I have. A sleeveless longer top like this one required approximately 120 g of yarn.

Kodus/At home

Lõpuks olen kodus. Näitan abstraktset kunsti:
Finally, I am at home. Please see some abstract art:

Mis on tegelikult laineline muster. Nagu näha, alustasin varrukat.
Which is, in fact, the wave pattern. As you see, I've started the sleeve.

Miks? Sellepärast, et varrukad panevad ülaosa täpselt paika, siis näen tegelikku pikkust ja kui palju tuleb veel jätkata. Top ulatub praegu taljeni ja on suhteliselt avar.
Why? Because sleeves precisely fix the upper part and I can see the real length and how much should be added. The top has reached the waist line and has a relatively free ease.

Kodus ootas mind Moda 6/2010. Vaatasin, et seal on ka üks minu rätik. Pildistasin ümber ajakirja pildi sügisõhtu viletsas valguses, aga tegelikult see on see rätik.
At home Moda 6/2010 was waiting. I saw that there is one of my shawls in the issue. I took a picture of the picture from the magazine in this poor autumn evening light, this is, in fact, this shawl.
Ja nüüd see intervjuu ja pilt minust.
And here is this interview and the pictures.

Vahepealne/In-between

Kuna olen tööga hõivatud, ei ole jõudnud eriti palju kududa. Siiski olen kudunud iga päev. Vaatamata koledale valgusele tekkis siiski kiusatus näidata, mis juba olemas on.
As I am busy with my work, I don't have much time for knitting. Yet I've been knitting every day. Even with this dreadful light, I could not resist the temptation to show what I have so far.

Peeglipilt ka:
A picture in the mirror, too:

Pilt pole eriti kena, aga näitab, kuhumaani olen jõudnud. Ja siin all pole sürrealistlik kunst, vaid topi külg!
The picture is not particularly good but it shows how far I am. And below here is not some kind of surrealistic art but a side of the top!

Nagu Ruthi blogist selgub, Eestis on juba värske Käsitöö täiesti olemas. Nii et loodan peatselt näha. Kaja just saatis mulle mõned pidid (fotograaf Mark Raidpere). Aitäh! Ülemisel pildil on tuttavad seelikud ja sall, alumisel on paremal hall sviiter.

As we learn from Ruth's blog, the fresh issue of Käsitöö has already appeared in Estonia. So I am looking forward to seeing it soon. And Kaja has just sent me some pictures (photos by Mark Raidpere). Thank you! The upper picture has the familiar skirts and the scarf and the bottom picture on the right the gray sweater.

Lained/Waves

Kuna mu toas on valgustus lihtsalt jube, pole mõtet pildistada. Ütlen ainult, et kudum edeneb. Kirjutan hoopis mustritest. Siin on muster, millega koon oma rohelist toppi. 6. rida tuleb kududa parempidi, seega on ta paremal pool pahempidine.
As the light in my room is simply dreadful, there is little sense in taking pictures. I can just say that my knitting is progressing. Instead I will write about stitch patterns. Here is the lace pattern I use in my green top. The 6th row is knit on wrong side, so it will appear as purls on the right side.

Võib ka nii teha, et nn lainerida on hoopis pahempidine. Valged "tornid" on 2 ph kokku.
You can make the "wave row" in purl sitches. The white "towers" are p 2 tog.

Ja siis võib reljeefsuse lisamiseks lisada ripsiridu (edasi- ja tagasiread parempidi) ja lisada ka parempidises koes ridu, nii et vahemaa lainete vahel on suurem:
And for a greater definition you can add garter rows (knit RS and WS rows) and also add stockinette rows to make the distance between the waves larger:

Lõpuks võib laine ka laiem olla: siin on mustrikord 17 silmust.
And, finally, the wave can be wider: here the pattern repeat is 17 stitches.

Lainemustreid on üsna palju, siin on vaid osa neist. On ka selliseid, kus mustrikorras on paarisarv silmuseid. Nagu näha, on need mustrid kergesti kohandatavad, nagu vausabakirjadki.
There is quite a lot of wave patterns and here is only a small part. There are patterns that have an even number of stitches as well. As you see, these patterns are really versatile like horseshue patterns are.

Roheline/Green

Olen jälle töö asjus välismaal, nimelt Hollandis. Internetiga on siin nii ja naa, valgustus hotellitoas ei ole just pildistamissõbralik. Siiski näitan lühidalt, mis on käsil.
Because of my work I am abroad again , namely, in Holland. The internet possibilities are so-so, the light in the hotel room is not exactly photo-friendly. Still, I show what I am doing now.

See on Vilniusest saadud roheline linane, ülemise pildil on värv enam-vähem õige. Ja sellest on kootud niipalju:
This is linen from Vilnius; the most upper picture renders the colour more or less accurately. And from this yarn I have this much:

Muster lähemalt:
A close view of the lace pattern:

Teatavasti sobivad linasele ka nn lained. See konkreetne muster on hõlpsasti mugandatav. Võib muuta parempidises koes ja ripskoes ridade arvu jne.
As it is known, so-called waves are also suitable for linene. This particular pattern is easily adjustable. You can change the number of stockinette or garter rows etc.
