Üle 30 inimese on Ravelrys avaldanud soovi koos kududa. Näitan, mida olen vahepeal teinud. Koon juba nööbiliiste.

Kooskudumine on alanud/Knitting along has started
Ja siin on minu töö. Valgustusega on selles korteris probleem, aga üldjoontes on arusaadav. Pildid on kronoloogilises järjekorras. Viimasel pildil on varruka ülaosa. Praegu on teine varrukas poole peal.
And here is my work. There are problems with the light in this flat but you can get the idea. The pictures are in the chronological order. The bottom picture shows the upper part of the sleeve. I am in the middle of the second sleeve.

Kooskudumine Ravelrys/KAL on Ravelry
Nagu lubatud, avasin Ravelrys kooskudumise. See pole tavaline õpetus, vaid pigem retsept (inglise keeles öeldakse: pattern recipe): konstruktsiooni seletus, mustri näited ja kirjeldus, kuidas tegin oma rohelise jaki. Kes on Ravelrys ja soovib ühineda, tere tulemast siia.
As promised, I opened a KAL on Ravelry. This is not a pattern in the usual sense but a pattern recipe: explanation of the construction, examples of stitch patterns and a description how I made my green cardigan. If you are on Ravelry and wish to join, welcome here.

Linane+ nr. 3/Linen+ no 3
Sviiter on valmis ja peab ütlema, et pisut ebaühtlane värv ei jää hästi fotodele. Sellegipoolest olen piltidega rahul, Sonata, suur tänu!
The sweater is finished and I have to say that the slightly uneven colour of the fabric is difficult to photograph. Still, I am satisfied with the pictures, thank you very much, Sonata!
Lõng/Yarn: linane/linen (SIŪLAS), 100 g/500 m, ~150 g & merino (~ 100 g/1500 m), ~45 g
Vardad/Needles: 3 mm, 3,5 mm
Meriino metraažiga on huvitav lugu. Ostsin selle väiksest vanakraamipoest Mezgimo Zona kõrval. Varem müüdi seal lõngu tokkides ja kerades, nüüd aga müüakse mingil määral ka pooli pealt. Perenaine ütles, et tellib vabrikutest. Koostis on teada, metraaž aga mitte. Antud juhul oli vaid näha, on hästi peenike. Kerisime väikse kera, 2 grammi kerimine võttis suhteliselt palju aega. Siis mõõtsime, mitu meetrit on, ja arvutasime. Saime arvu 100 g/850 m, kuid kulunud lõnga järgi tundub, et on hoopis rohkem. Mul on veel 55 g meriinot alles, saab veel ühe sviitri kombinatsioonis teise lõngaga.
As far as the metrage of the merino is concerned, it is an interesting story. I bought it from a little second-hand shop near Mezgimo Zona. Earlier they had some yarns in balls and skeins but now they sell also bobbin yarns. The owner told me she orders from factories. The fiber composition is known but not the metrage. In this case the only obvious thing was that the yarn is very thin. We wound a small ball and winding 2 g of the yarn took relatively much time. Then we measured the metrage and calculated. We obtained 100 g/850 m but based on the used up yarn I think the metrage is much bigger. I have 55 g of merino remaining and it is enough to combine with another yarn for another sweater.

Eile Mezgimo Zonas/Yesterday at Mezgimo Zona
Nagu alati, oli tore Mezgimo Zona lõngapoes õpetada. Koos oli palju vanu tuttavaid, aga ka uusi. Kokku oli 20 inimest, pood oli rahvast täis. Sonata tegi paar pilti, tänan!
As always, it was fun to teach at the Mezgimo Zona yarn shop. Many familiar people arrived and there were some new knitters as well. There were 20 attenders and the shop was full. Sonata took some pictures, many thanks!
Veel uudiseid: varsti alustame Ravelrys sakilise mustri ja sallkraega jaki kooskudumist (hiljutise rohelise jaki vaimus). Annan teada ka siin. Kes tahab rohkem teada linase lõnga kombinatsioonist, soovitan Mia postitust siin.
Some news: I will soon start KAL on Ravelry for a zigzag patterned cardigan with a shawl collar (in the spirit of my green cardigan). I will let you know also on my blog. To those who wish to know more about combinations of linen, I recommend Mia's post here.

Probleem, mis pole tegelikult probleem/A problem which is not really a problem
Mõni probleem on seda ainult nime poolest. Mõtlesin, et teen linasest ja peenikesest meriinost suure torukraega sviitri. Teatavasti võib alustada kohe torust, võib aga kududa esialgu kogu sviiter (s.o. kujundada kaelus jms) ja alles siis kududa külge toru. Valisin teise võimaluse. Siis hakkas mulle kaelaava kuju kangesti meeldima ja hakkasin arutlema, et ei teegi kraed. Siis aga tekkis küsimus, mida muud huvitavat teha, sest mingi väike detail peaks olema, kuigi kudum on minimalistlik (kunagi varem kirjutasin, et minimalism ei ole küündimatus ega kujutlusvõime puudumine).
Certain problems are problems in name only. I wanted to make a sweater with a large tube collar from linen and merino. As you know, you can start from the tube or you can make the entire sweater in the beginning (that is, shape the neck opening etc) and to knit the tube later on. I decided to take up the second option. Then I became fond of the neck opening and I started thinking that I would not make the collar. Then the quesiton followed what other little details I could add, although this is a minimalist garment (some time ago I wrote that minimalism is not lack of skills and imagination).
Lahendus on lihtne: ripsitriibud varruka otstel. Neid tuleb veel vöökohale. Väga reljeefseteks triipudeks pole lõngakombinatsioon sobiv, aga ka sellised sümboolsed triibud toimivad täiesti.
The solution is very simple: purl stripes at the bottom of the sleeves. I will make the stripes on the waist line, too. This combination of yarn is not suitable for textured stripes but even such symbolic stripes work quite fine.

Linane+ nr.2/Linen+ no. 2
Mohääri ja linase kombinatsioon on päris meeldiv. Igaüks toob midagi oma: mohäär annab pisut faktuuri (kude on reljeefsem) ja linane annab langevust. Rasa, tänan pildistamast!
The combination of mohair and linen is quite pleasant. Each one adds something: mohair gives more texture (the fabric has a better stitch definition) and linen gives draping. Rasa, thanks for taking photos!
Lõng/Yarn: 1) linane/linen (100 g/500 m), ~ 145 g; 2) mohäär/mohair (25 g/240 m), ~ 70 g.
Vardad/Needles: 4 mm, 4,5 mm
