Eksperiment nr. 3/Experiment no. 3

Niisiis, kooskudumine Mustrimaailmas jätkub. Järgmine samas stiilis kudum tuleb juba talvisest lõngast ja varrukatega. Näitan pilte (Ave, suur tänu pildistamast!), värv on tegelikult sügavam.
Well, KAL at the Estonian forum is in progress. The next knit in the same style will be from winter yarns and with sleeves. Here are the pictures (Ave, many thanks for taking the photos!), the real colour is more intensive.

 

Lõng/Yarn: Cottone Viscose (Drops), 54 % puuvill/cotton, 48 % viskoos/rayon, 50 g/110 m, ~ 200 g.

Vardad/Needles: 3 mm

Kooskudumine jätkub/KAL is in progress

Mustrimaailmas on päris palju huvilisi, mõni on juba kõige huvitavama osa valmis saanud. Mul on seis selline:
In the Mustrimaailm forum quite a few knitters showed interest and some of them have already finished the most interesting part. My progress is here:

Kooskudumine algab/KAL starts now

Teema Mustrimaailma foorumis on avatud. Siin on mu proovilapp, lõng on Cotton Viscose (Drops), viskoosi-puuvilla segu, 50 g/110 m.
The topic in the Mustrimaailm forum is opened. Here is my swatch, the yarn is Cotton Viscose (Drops), cotton-rayon blend, 50 g/110 m.

Arvan, et teen isegi tihedamad triibud (nt 5 rida labases parempidises, 1 rida parempidiselt).
I think I will even make denser stripes (for instance, 5 rows in stockinette and 1 row in reverse stockinette).

Kui palju lõnga kulub/How much yarn is needed

Tihti ei mõtle ma kuigi palju sellele, kui palju lõnga varuda, orienteerun enam-vähem metraaži järgi, aga oleneb muidugi ka materjalist. Seekord aga arutlesin nii, et  võib-olla on 4-st tokist vähe (50 g/165 m), võtsin 5. Jutt on lühikese varruka topist.
Usually I don't spend much time thinking how much yarn I should get and plan more or less according to the yardage and also depending on the fiber. However, this time I thought that 4 balls is too small an amount (50 g/165 m). It is about a short-sleeved top.

Tulemus on aga üllatav (kuigi, kui järele mõelda, mis siin ikka nii üllatuda). Sain hakkama 3 tokiga, allesjäänud jupp on 3-nda toki jupp. Nüüd püüan ülejäänud tokid ringi vahetada, kui võimalik. Endiselt kiidan lõnga Catania Fine (Schachenmayr Nomotta), võtaksin hea meelega sama lõnga teist värvi.
The result is surprising (however, after some thought, there is no reason to be surprised). I managed with 3 balls and the remaining piece is from the 3rd ball. Now I will try to exchange the remaining balls, if possible. I have not changed my opinion and praise Catania Fine (Schachenmayr Nomotta); I could use this yarn in another colour.

Kooskudumise plaanid/Plans for knitting together

Mustrimaailma foorumis hakkame varsti jälle koos kuduma. Ravelrys on waterfall-krae valemi testimine peaaegu läbi, mõtlesin, et eesti foorumis, kus paljud oskavad ise kalkuleerida, oleks see päris sobiv. Hankisin Dropsi Cotton Viscose'i nimelist lõnga, ilus särav sinine!
We are going to start a KAL in the Mustrimaailm forum again. On Ravelry, the testing of my waterfall collar formula is almost done and I thought it would be a suitable KAL for the Estonian forum where many knitters are able to independently calculate. I've got Cotton Viscose by Drops, lovely bright blue!

Praegune kudum on pooleli. Nüüd on mustrit juba päris palju, saab parema ettekujutuse. Sellise mustriga võiks olla nt linane sall või pikk jakk.
The current knit is not yet finished. The piece of fabric with the stitch pattern is rather large and you can get a better idea. I imagine a linen scarf or a long jacket with the pattern.

Küsimus/A question

Olen tagasi, kliima vahetusest pisut tõbine, aga nüüd jätkan kudumist ja arutlemist.
I am back, feeling somewhat unwell after the climate change but now going on with knitting and discussion.

Siinse blogi lugejad teavad, et mulle meeldivad diagonaalsed mustrid. Modifitseerisin pisut üht tuntud mustrit, nii et kitsamad ribad on ripskoes, mitte labases pahempidises. Lõng on Catania Fine (Schachenmayr SMC, 100 % puuvill, 50 g/165 m). Väga meeldiv lõng, muster jääb reljeefne, samas on lõng piisavalt peenike. Nüüd küsimus: kas keegi oskab öelda, miks nii hea lõng on tootmisest maha võetud? Ravelry andmebaasis seisab "discontinued".
The readers of this blog know that I like diagonal stitch patterns. I slightly modified a well-known pattern so that the narrower portions are in garter stitch and not reverse stockinette. The yarn is Catania Fine (Schachenmayr SMC, 100 % cotton, 50 g/165 m). It is a rather nice yarn, the pattern has a good definition, yet the yarn is rather thin. Now a question: can anyone explain why such a fine yarn is discontinuted? At least according to the Ravelry database it is.

Midagi sain valmis/I've finished something

Sel reisil oli vähe aega kudumiseks. Siiski sain midagi valmis. Muster on mu vana lemmik.
I had little time to knit during this trip. Still, I have something finished. The stitch pattern is my old favourite.

 

Plaanidest ja muust kirjutan varsti, kui olen jälle kodus.
I will write soon more on my plans and other matters when I will have returned home.
