Peaaegu kaks varrukat/Almost two sleeves

Loodetavasti saan täna valmis teise varruka. Siin on võrdlus:
I hope to finish the second sleeve today. Here is a comparison:

Üldvaade on nüüd selline:

Overall picture is like this now:

Loodetavasti tuleb nädalavahetusel, kui aega on rohkem, mõni sisukam postitus.

I hope there will be a more informative posting on the weekend when I have more time.

Varrukas ja uus "Käsitöö"/One sleeve and the new issue of Käsitöö

Vahepeal polnud aega kirjutada, hea, et kududa jõudsin! Alustasin eile varrukat ja nüüd näitan, mis on olemas.
Meanwhile I had no time to write, I am glad I had some time to knit! Yesterday I starte one sleeve and now you can observe what has been done up to this point.

Siin on üldvaade. Praeguseks on kulunud täpselt 4 tokki (50 g/100 m). Varrukat alustasin uuest tokist. Arvatavasti kulub mõlemale varrukale kokku pisut rohkem kui 2 tokki. Siis saab otsustada pikkuse üle.
Here is a general view. As of now exactly 4 balls (50 g/100 m) have been used up. I started the sleeve with a new ball of yarn. Probably, for both sleeves I will need slightly more than 2 balls. Then it will be possible to determine the length.

Uus "Käsitöö" ilmus siis, kui olin Leedus. Täna aga sain kätte oma eksemplarid. Võimaluse juures skaneerin oma kudumitega leheküljed.
A fresh issue of Käsitöö came out when I was in Lithuania. Today I finally got my own copies. When possible, I will scan pages with my knits.

Uusi lõngu ja uusi kudumeid/New yarns and new knits

Tänan veelkord kõiki lahkeid kommenteerijaid! Sviiter on paras sügiseks ja ootab vastavat ilma. Nüüd aga midagi uut:
Thanks again for all the kind comments! The sweater is most suitable for Autumn and is waiting for the appropriate weather. Now something new:

Sain Dianalt niisuguse armsa paki. Lõng on Tosh merino light, värvi nimi on Malachite (ongi nagu malahiit). Lisaks veel lühikesed ringvardad, just varrukate kudumiseks. Suur tänu!
I received this lovely package from Diana. The yarn is Tosh merino light and the colour name is Malachite. Plus a pair of short circular needles, suitable for sleeves. Thanks a lot!

Käsil on uus töö. Tütar tellis jaki. Ütles, et olgu hea langevusega, sile ja väga lihtne. Siiski leppisime kokku, et üleni labane parempidine ei tule. Nii et alla tekib vist mõni lihtne muster. Lõng on puuvillase ja polüamiidi segu, kududa on mõnus, langevus on hea.
A new work in progress. My daughter ordered a jacket. She wants something with a good draping quality, smooth and very simple. Still, we agreed that it will not be plain stockinette from top to bottom. So there will be some simple lace pattern in the bottom. The yarn is a cotton-polyamide blend, lovely to work with, good drape.

Must-hall/Black-and-gray

Niisiis, pilte! Kirstiina jõudis kohutava kiirusega teha igavese portsu pilte, mul oli tükk tegemist, mida valida.

Now the pictures! Kristiina took a whole bunch of pictures with an astounding speed and it took some time to make choice.

Küljel on pahempidiste riba.

There is a strip of purl stitches on the side.

Nagu näha, olen varrukatega üsna rahul.

As you see, I am quite satisfied with the sleeves.

Mustvalge:

Black-and-white:

Pildid/Pictures: Kristiina

Lõng/Yarn: Drops alpaca (50 g/167 m), ~ 175 g; Alvita Kid Mohair (25 g/225 m), 25 g

Kogu kaal/Total weight: 210 g

Vardad/Neeldes: 3,5 mm, 5 mm

Nüüd olen sügiseks varustatud, sviiter tuli hästi soe!

Now I am equipped for the autumn, the sweater is rather warm!

Musta ja halli pildistamine/Taking photos of black and gray

Musta on raske pildistada, tumehalli ka, aga kui nad mõlemad on koos, mida teha siis?
It is difficult enough to photograph black and the same refers to dark gray; but what should be done if these two are together?

Siin on natuke näha kontrasti.

Here the contrast is slightly visible.

Püüdsin nii ja naa. Loodetavasti saab homme pildistada minu seljas õues.

I tried out this and that way. Hopefully, tomorrow it will be possible to get modelled photos outdoors.

Segane pilt/Unclear picture

Pilt ei ole segane otseses mõttes, s.o. pole nii, et foto pole terav, vaid pilti vaadates ei saa veel aru, mis toimub.
The picture is unclear not in the straight sense, that is, it is not like the photo is blurred but looking at the picture you have no idea what is going on.


Nõnda on, sest krae on veel üsna väike. Kui ta on suurem, on selgem.
This is because the collar is too little yet. When it will have grown bigger, it will be more clear.

Krae on kahekordsest mustast mohäärist. Tegelikult on kontrast halli sviitri ja musta krae vahel pisut suurem.
The collar is from a black mohair, held double. In reality the contrast between the grey sweater and the black collar is a little bigger.
Minu käest on küsitud sviitri konstruktsiooni kohta. Olen juba sellest konstruktsioonist kirjutanud, aga sellel konstruktsioonil on potentsiaali (s.o. võib alustada samamoodi ja pärast jõuda hoopis millegi muuni välja), sellepärast kirjutan kunagi hiljem eraldi postituse.
I have been asked about the construction of the sweater. I have written about this construction elsewhere; as this construction has a great potential (that is, you can start in the same way but then do something completely different), I am going to write a special post about it later.

Viimane päev Vilniuses/The last day in Vilnius

Eile oli taas kooskudumine poes, sel suvel minu jaoks viimane. Loodetavasti järgmisel suvel saan jälle postitada kooskudumise pilte. Aitäh kõigile!
Yesterday the knitting club meeting took place in the store, the last one for me this summer. Hopefully, next summer I will be able to post knitting club pictures again. Thanks to all of you!
Ačiu visiems!
Nüüd sellest, mis on töös. Alustasin juba pühapäeval, kuid pole siiamaani jõudnud postitada. Selline oli seis üleeile.
Now about the current project. I started already on Sunday but have had no opportunity to write a post about it. This is how it looked like the day before yesterday.

Selline seis on praegu.

This is the state of the things as of now.

Lõng on Dropsi alpaka. Esialgu plaanis oli see rätik, kuid alpaka on niisuguse mustri jaoks liiga pehme, pealegi tumehall värv sõi kogu mustri ära. Nii et rätik sai tehtud Drops Fabelist. Mõtlesin siis, mida teha alpakast ja mõtlesin välja. Nagu näete, on see lihtne sviiter. Kuid veel tuleb kaelus ja varrukate ääred teisest lõngast.

The yarn is Drops alpaca. At first the yarn was intended for this shawlette but alpaca is too soft for such a stitch pattern, and dark grey ate up the pattern entirely. Thus, I used Drops Fabel for the shawlette. I've been thinking what to knit with the aplaca and got an idea. As you see, it is a simple sweater. There will be a collar and sleeve edges from another yarn though.
