Marianne juures/at Marianne's

Käisin lühidalt Marianne's Mohair firmas, arutasime plaane, näitasin sviitrit jms. Marianne soovil tegime selle pildi.
I made a short visit to Marianne's Mohair office where we discussed plans and I showed the sweater etc. Marianne wished to take this picture.

Veel ühe sviitri pilte/Pictures of yet another sweater

Sviiter sai hulk aega tagasi valmis, läksin seda näitama Domus Linum poe perenaisele Küllile ja selgus, et see sobib talle suurepäraselt. Mis siis muud kui pildistada uue omaniku seljas.
The sweater was completed a while ago and I went to Domus Linum to show it to Külli, the owner, and it came out that it perfectly suits her. What else can I do but to photograph the new owner modelling the sweater.

 

Sviitri pilte/Some pictures of the sweater

Sellised pildid. Õpetus tuleb kunagi hiljem, enne Tampere käsitöölaata teeme kooskudumise. Lõnga ja varda info siin.
These are the pictures. The pattern will come later and there will be a KAL before Tampere Crafts Fair. Yarn and needle information here.

 

 

Selle suve topid/This summer tops

Selleks suveks on mul 3 toppi, ei välista, et teen jällge midagi patent- või poolpatentkoes.
I have 3 tops for this summer and it is entirly possible that I will make something else in brioche or half-brioche stitch.

Ülemine must topp on tencel-puvilla segu (Katia, Tencel Cotton), alumine must on puuvillasest. Hall topp on puuvilla-polüamiidi segust (Alize Cotton Gold). Seda viimast lõnga olen juba kiitnud.
The black top in the top picture is tencel-cotton blend (Katia, Tencel cotton),  the black one in the bottom is cotton. The grey top is from cotton-polyamide blend (Alize Cotton Gold). I have praised this yarn elsewhere.

Vahelduseks üks rätik/A shawl for a change

Kirjutasin siin, et sain Martin's Lab käsitsi värvitud lõngu. Nüüd mõtlesin, et prooviks ühte konstruktsiooni ja alustasingi täna hommikul. Õpetus tuleb kindlasti.
I wrote here that I had received some hand-dyed yarns from Martin's Lab. Now I decided to try out a certain construction and started today in the morning. There will be a pattern, for sure.

Sviitri seiklused/Adventures of a sweater

Näitan nüüd suvesviitrit. Koos on kaks lõnga: Bodrum (Alize, 50 % linane, 50 % polüamiid) ja peenvillane (100 g/1500 m või isegi peenem), vardad 3 mm.
Here are some pictures of the summer sweater. I combined two yarns: Bodrum (by Alize, 50 % linen, 50 % polyamide) and laceweight wool (100 g/1500 m or even thinner), needles 3 mm.

Kõik oli kena, aga polnud kindlust, et Bodrum-lõnga jätkub. Tundus, et siiski ei jätku. Läksin poodi, hankisin ühe toki juurde. Lõpuks selgus, et seda uut tokki kulus ainult mõni meeter!
Everything was fine but I was not sure whether I have enough Bodrum. It seemed like I was running out of it. I went to the store and purchased one more ball. Finally, it came out that I needed only a couple of metres from the new ball!

Nagu varem kirjutasin, see on kena muster ja seda peaks proovima ka mõne muu lõngaga.
As I wrote earlier, it is a beautiful stitch pattern and I should try it also with some other yarn.

Sviiter jämedast mohäärist/Sweater from thick mohair

See on Adele's Mohair/Marianne's Mohair lõng, 50 g/180 m, üsna pehme ja suhteliselt karvane. Mingeid mustreid eriti ei talu. Väike erand on võrgulised mustrid nagu siin. Koon õpetuse jaoks ümmarguse passega lihtsat sviitrit.
This yarn is by Adele's Mohair/Marianne's Mohair, 50 g/180 m, very soft and relatively hairy. It is not suitable for stitch patterns. A small exception are mesh stitches like here. I am making this simple cricular yoke sweater for a pattern.

Samas vaimus/In the same spirit

Nagu kirjutasin eelmises postituses, harutasin tagasi ja tegin veel mõned kahandused (see mudel lubab käigu peal reguleerida). Nüüd on vaja kududa veel paar mustrikorda alla. Ei tea, kas lõnga jätkub. Muster meeldib väga, peaks proovima ka mohääriga. Kirjutan kunagi hiljem, mille poolest see muster erineb paljudest analoogsetest.
As I wrote in the previous post, I ripped some portion of the torso and made some more decreases (this construction allows adjustment as you go). Now I have to knit downwards a couple of repeats. I am not sure whether I have enough yarn. I like the stitch pattern quite a lot and should try it with mohair. Later I will write how this pattern differs from a lot of similar patterns.

 

Sviiter kasvab/The sweater is progressing

Mõlemad varrukad on olemas, aga kere on natuke liiga lai, peaks harutama ja rohkem kahandama.
Both sleeves are done but the torso is a little bit too wide, so I have to rip it and to make more decreases.

 

Mõned suvekudumid/Some summer knits

Näitan paar kudumit. Piltnik Olivia Soans. Sviitri mustrit kavatsen kasutada ka muu lõngaga.
Here is a couple of knits. Pictures by Olivia Soans. I intend to use the sweater stitch pattern for another yarn, too.

Info topi kohta siin.

Information about the top here.

Proovilapp/Swatch

Kombineerin lõngu, et saada tumehalli. Must on linase ja polüestri segu 100 g/280 m (Bodrum, Alize) ja tumehall on tundmatu peenvillane (oletan, et 100 g/1400-1500 m).
I am combining yarns in order to obtain dark grey. The black yarn is linen-polyester blend 200 g/280 (Bodrum, by Alize) and the dark grey one is unknown laceweight wool (100 g/1400-1500 m, I presume).

Topp on valmis/The top is completed

See oli tõepoolest lihtne ja probleemitu kudum. Loodetavasti saan varsti näidata enda seljas.
This was indeed a simple unproblematic knit. Hopefully, I will be able to show modeled photos soon.

 

Lihtne topp/A simple top

Kirjutasin korduvalt, et Eesti suvi võib olla jahe ja hea, kui on olemas mõni kerge sviiter. Praegu aga on täiesti suvine ilm, sellepärast hakkasin kuduma toppi.
I have written many times that Estonian summer may be chilly and some light sweater may be quite handy. However, right now it is a real summer weather and I started a top.

 

Üleval on mõned ripsi triibud, õlad kujundatud lühikeste ridadega, muidu on kõik väga lihtne.
There are some garter stithc stripes in the upper part and shoulders are shaped with short rows, otherwise everything is extremely easy.

Puuvillane sviiter/Cotton sweater

Sai nüüd valmis. Praegu on ilus ilm, aga mine tea, Eesti suvi võib olla ka selline, et mohäär on liiga palav, samas ilma varrukateta topist ei piisa.
I have completed the sweater. The weather is nice right know but you never know because Estonian summer may be such that mohair is too hot but a sleeveless top is not enough.

 

Natuke uudiseid/Some news

Käisin lühidalt Vilniuses, siin on traditsiooniline pilt Diteksasest. Sain sealt huvitavat villasegu (70 % vill, 30 % polüamiid), mis näeb välja nagu mohäär ja on üsna peenike, 100 g/1100 m. Tegin juba paar proovilappi ja kirjutan sellest kunagi hiljem.
I made a short trip to Vilnius, here is a traditional photo from Diteksas. I got some interesting wool blend there (70 % wool, 30 % polyamide) that looks like mohair and is rather thin, 100 g/1100 m. I've already made some swathes and will write about it later.

Kodus ootas mind saadetist Martin's Lab lõngafirmalt. Sain käsitsi värvitud BFL Soft Sock villase, hiljem mõtlen midagi välja ja teen õpetused ka. Roheline läheb rätikuks või salliks ja hall on mõeldud sviitriks.

At home a package from Martin's Lab had been waiting for me. I got some hand-dyed BFL Soft Sock wool and later will design something and write patterns. The emerald one is for a shawl or a scharf and the grey one for sweater.
