Vahepealne/In-between

Tavaliselt pole mul mitut pooleli kudumit, aga nüüd on selline olukord, et tuleb tellijale selga proovida enne, kui jätkata saab (sest see on just kõige olulisem hetk, kui on vaja kaenla all ühendada). Kuna vahel oli terve nädalavahetus, ei saa ma kudumata olla, seda enam, et oma aega ootab üks peenike meriinolõng,
Usually I don't have several unfinished knits at the same time but now it is a situation when the cliend should try the garment on before I can go on with  it (because it is the most improtant moment when it is time to join the back and the front pieces under the arms). Whereas the whole weekend was ahead of me, I could not be not knitting, especially when a  merino laceweight yarn was sitting and waiting.
Meriino on 100 g/800 m üleminekuvärvidega, üksinda tundus mulle liiga lörr, mulle meeldib selgema struktuuriga koepind. Aga sellest topist on järel linase ja viskoosi segu, 100 g/400 m. Nii et panin nad kokku. Seda enam, et meriino värv läheb sujuvalt mustast valgeks ja mulle ei meeldi puhas valge värv, las tal olla kontrastne kaaslane.
Merino is 100 g/800 m in gradient colours; when knitted alone, it is too "liquid" for my taste, I like more structured fabrics. But I have some linien-rayon blend from this top, 100 g/400 m. So I put the two together. Especially in the view that the colour of merino is going from black to white and I don't like white, so let it have a contrasting partner.
Siin pole veel eriti näha, aga juba algab tumehall sektsioon. Varras 5 mm, suured augud.
It is not yet visible but a dark-grey section is begininning. I am using 5 mm needles and the holes are quite large.

Topp on valmis/The top is finished

Topp on valmis, aga väljas pildistamisega on häda: päike ja tuul. Seetõttu on üks pilt hoopis selline.
The top is finished but there is a problem with taking pictures outdoors: sun and wind. This is why one of the pictures is like this:
 
Ma ei ole veel kaalunud, arvan, et kulunud on u 150 g ehk 600 m. Koepind on mõnus. Ajab natuke viltu (mõingate linaste omadus), aga kandes pole märgata.
I have not weighed it yet, probably, some 150 g or 600 m is used up. The fabric is lovely. It is slightly biased (a feature of some linen yarns) but this is not visible when wearing.

Jälle suvekudum/A summer knit again

Selle lõnga sain kingituseks Nataljalt, ta elab Moskvas ja teeb igasugu huvitavat käsitööd. Lõng on linase, puuvillase ja viskoosi segu, üsna peenike, 100 g/400 m. Proovisin peenikese puuvillasega kokku panna, aga koepind on siis kohe paksem kui tahaksin. Siis hakkasin kuduma ühekordselt, minu meelest päris hea koepind. Nagu ikka, pole veel teada, kas varrukad tulevad.
I got this yarn as a present from Natalja, who lives in Moscow and does all knid of interesting crafts. The yarn is a linen, cotton and rayon blend, quite thin, 100 g/400 m. I tried to combine it with thin cotton but the fabric was substanatially thicker than I would like. So I am using one strand of the yarn and the fabric is quite nice, as far as I am concerned. As usual, I don't yet know whether there will be sleeves.
 
Nagu näha, külgedel on laiem ripsi triip. See lõng ei talu mingit soonikut (loogiline, see on peenike linasega lõng), seetõttu viimistlesin kaeluse ripskoes ja alla äärde tuleb ilmselt samuti ripskude.
As you see, there is a wide stripe of garter stitch on the sides. This yarn does not tolerate any kind of ribbing (quite logical, isn't it, as it is a light yarn with linen), so I made the finishing of the neck opening in garter stitch and the bottom edge will probably be in garter stitch as well.

Sviiter ja rätikud, koos ja eraldi/Sweater and shawls, together and separately

Sviiter on valmis. Kulus 7 tokki ja pisut 8-ndat (Belle, Drops).
The sweater is finished. I used up 7 balls and a little bit of the 8th (Belle by Drops).
 
 
Ei olegi midagi erilist, tradistioonilised pildid (ei tea, millal saan enda seljas pildistatud). Arvasin, et võib samahästi pildistada koos hiljutiste rätikutega. Sviitri pind on sile (varrukate oma mitte, aga nad ei domineeri), seega saab kombineerida nii siledate kui reljeesete rätikutega.
Nothing special, just usual pictures (don't know when I will have modelled pictures). I thought I can photgraph it together with my recent shawls. The fabric of the sweater is smooth (to say nothing about the sleeves but they do not dominate), so one can match the sweater both with smooth and textured shawls.

Line rätik/The shawl from Line

Rätik on valmis, 4-st tokist saab juba päris korraliku pikkuse ja laiuse.
The shawl is finished: from 4  balls you can get a decent length and width.
 
 
 
Peaks tegema villasest või linasest lõngast. Päris hea ja lihtne.
I should make one from wool or linen. It is rather nice and simple.

Uuest lõngast/From a new yarn

Eestis on nüüd olemas auväärse norra Sandnesi firma esindaja, Sandnes Garn Eesti. Sandnesi lõngad on Eestis uued, vaadata ja osta saab siit. Plaan on, et kevadel tuleb väike õpetuste kogumik, sinna teengi kudumi Line lõngast.
The long-established Norwegian firm Sandnes has now a representative in Estonia, Sandes Garn Eesti. Sandnes yarns are a novelty in Estonia, you can have a look and buy here. The plan is to do a small collection of patterns and I am currently making a design from Line.
Hea reljeefne kude.
Nice stitch definition.
Sellest tuleb lihtne kudum.
It will be a simple knit.

Võrguline sall/Mesh scarf

Viimasel ajal meeldivad mulle võrgulised mustrid. Sain nüüd salli valmis. Muster venib pikkusesse, nii et sellega võiks edasipidi arvestada. Olen üsna rahul. Loodetavasti tulevad paremad pildid kunagi varsti.
Recently I have become fond of mesh stitch patterns. I have just finished my scarf. The pattern tends to stretch in the length, so I have to take this into account in future. I am guite pleased. Hopefully, proper pictures will be taken soon.

Sall jääkidest/Scarf from yarn leftovers

Ma ei ole kirjude kudumite austaja (s.o. mõni võib mulle meeldida abstraktselt, aga ise ei kanna ega koo). Seda raskem on välja mõelda, mida teha jääkidega. Õnneks sallis ja rätikus ei häiri mind värvide vaheldus.
I am not an adherent of multicoloured knits (that is, abstractly I might like some of them but I would not wear nor knit them). This makse it even more difficult to invent what to do with leftovers. Fortunately, I am not disturbed by colour alternations in shawls and scarves.
Ilmselt umbes pool (või alla poole) on hall, teine pool must. Kui selgub, et musta ei jätku, siis tuleb muretseda mõnda tumehalli või musta juurde. Hall on linane ja must on viskoosi-linase segu.
Probably, a half (or slightly less) is grey and the other half is black. If it happens that I don't have enough black, then I will have to purchase some dark-gray or black yarn. The gery yarn is linen and the black one is rayon-linen blend.

Kordustest/On repetition

Ühelt poolt ei taha ennast korrata, tahaks areneda. Samas on kordamine mingil määral vältimatu. Et sviiter oleks sviiter, peaksid tal olema teatud tunnused: reeglina ei ole see eest lahtine (muidu oleks kardigan, hõlmikjakk jms), tavaliselt on ka varrukad (muidu oleks vest). Kui koome raglaani, siis vaatamata võimalikele variatsioonidele on kõigil raglaanidel põhiolemus sama (ja nõnda on kõigi põhikonstruktsioonidega). Mustritega on selline lugu, et on mõned lemmikud, aga kui lõng või konstruktsioon on teistsugune või on koguni rätik ja, ütleme, mitte seelik, siis on see kordamine suhteliselt tinglikus mõttes. Mõnikord on aga mõningane kordamine sunnitud.
On one hand you don't want to repeat yourself, you want to grow. On the other hand some kind of repetition is inevitable. In order for a pullover to count as a pullover, it must have certain features: as a rule, it is not open at the front (otherwise it would be a cardigan, a wrap jacket etc); usually it has sleeves (otherwise it is a vest). If we knit a raglan, then all possible variations notwithsdanding, all raglans have essentially the same features (and this is true about all basic constructions). As for stitch patterns, some are favourits but if yarn or construction is differen or, say, you are not making a shawl but a skirt, then this is a relatively minor matter to count as a repetition. But sometimes you have no other way but to repeat yourself to a certain degree.
Sellest topist kirjutasin umbes aasta tagasi siin. Ravelrys kudusime koos sakilise mustriga kimonotoppe.
Approximately a year ago I wrote about this top here. On Ravelry we knitted together kimono tops with a zigzag pattern.
Milles on asi? Esiteks muster meeldib mulle tõesti. Teiseks aga "süüdi" on lõng Primula (Lana Gatto), 50 g/158 m, 67 % puuvill, 33 % viskoos. Tahtsin proovida üht uut konstruktsiooni. Ma parem ei alusta juttu suvelõngade värvidest, kõik tuttavad naeravad juba, teavad, et mul on probleem. Igatahes on õige värv üsna tumesinine. Värvi pärast võtsin, koostis on ka hea, aga lõng on suhteliselt libe ja lõheneb kergesti, uut konstruktsiooni pole hea proovida. Selgus, et on mustrite suhtes kapriisne. Kõige paremini sobivad labase parempidise koe põhised mustrid. Vaatasin, et tihedus on umbkaudu sama, nagu musta topi puhul (too lõng, Cotton Stretch, on väga hea, soovitan). Siis hakkasingi kuduma sama mustriga, kuigi teatud väikeste modifikatsioonidega.
What happend? First of all, I really like this stitch pattern. Second, the yarn Primula (Lana Gatto), 50 g/158 m, 67 % cotton, 33 % rayon is "guilty". I wanted to try out a new construction. I will better not start talking about colour choice of summer yarns, all my friends will laugh, everyone knows that I have a problem. Anyway, the colour is very dark blue. The colour was decisive and the fiber composition is fine, too, but the yarn is relatively slippery and splits easily, not a good way to try a new construction. It became clear that it is moody as far as stitch patterns are concerned. The best are patterns based on stockinette. I noticed that the gauge is almost the same as that of the black top (the yarn I used for that one, Cotton Stretch, is excellent, I highly recommend it). Then I started working in the same pattern, albeit with minor modifications.
Topp pole veel päris kuiv. Täna on suvine ilm, loodetavasti saab nüüd suvekudumeid kanda.
The top is not completely dry yet. Today is a sunny weather and I hope one can wear summer knits now.
