These were taken by the official curise photographer Mikko Varjokorpi.
And these are by Mia.
In the nearest future I will write up one more shawl pattern. I will post more later.

Rätik mitmest villasest lõngast/A shawl from various woolen yarns
Rätikud on head jääkide ärakasutamiseks. Mul oli musta-halli Raasiku 8/2 (52 g), samas jämeduses musta (18 g) ja Pirtin Kehräämö villast (50 g). Alustasin mustast, seejärel sobitasin üleminekulõnga värve nii, et sektsioonid oleksid pikemad, ning lõpetasin samuti mustaga. Vardad 5,5 mm.
Shawls are good for using up leftovers. I had some black-grey Raasiku factory wool 8/2 (52 g) and some black yarn of the same weight and the same manufacturesr (18 g) and Pirtin Kehräämö wool (50 g). I started with black, then I arranged the variegated yarn so that colour sections would be wider and finished with black as well. Needles 5.5 mm.
Selle kuju ja mustriga rätikuid olen teinud mitu. Vist peaks õpetuse kirja panema. Rätik meeldis minu mehele ja võttis nüüd kasutusele. Väga kena, mul on ettekääne jälle midagi taolist kududa!
I have knitted several shawls with this shape and stitch. Probably, I have to write up the pattern. My husband liked the shawl and started wearing it. Very well, now I have an excuse to knit again something of the kind!

Haapsalu + Raasiku
Sõbrad, kinnitan, et geograafiaga on mul kõik korras. Jutt on lõngadest: meie Raasiku vabriku villasest (Aade Lõng 8/2, 100 g/400 m) ja Midara vabriku peenvillasest nimega Haapsalu (100 g/1400 m). Jakk sai valmis veel enne kuriisi ja siis Mia pildistas ära Stockholmis.
My friends, I still remember geography (Haapsalu is a town in the North-West of Estonia and Raasiku is 30 cm to the east from Tallinna). I am talking about yarns: our Raasiku factory wool (Aade Lõng 8/2, 100 g/400 m) and laceweight wool named Haapsalu (100 g/1400 m) my Midara factory in Lithuania. The latter has this name because it is suitable for classical Haapsalu shawls. I had finished the cardigan before our craft cruise and Mia took pictures in Stockholm.
Mia, kiitos paljon! Oli mukava!
Lõng/Yarn: (1) Aade Lõng Solid 8/2 (100 % vill/wool, 100 g/400 m), ~ 220 g; (2) Haapsalu (Midara), 100 % vill/wool, 100 g/1400 m, ~ 60 g
Vardad/Neeldles: 4 mm

Kruiisi pilte/Some pictures from the cruise
Pilte tuleb loodetavasti veel. Laeval oli selliseid lõngu ja kudumeid:
There will be more pictures, hopefully. These were yarns and knits on board:
Mul oli oma laud. Rääkisin oma raamatust ja rätikute konstrueerimisest mõlemal päeval. On palju uusi mõtteid ja plaane.
I had my own table. I talked on both days about my book and shawl construction. There are many new ideas and plans.
Stockholmis käisin Mia ja Tuijaga sümpaatses lõngapoes nimega Litet Nystan (väike lõngakera). Ei ostnud midagi, aga hea meelega uurisin lõngu (kaks viimast pilti tegi Katja).
In Stockholm I visited a lovely yarn shop Litet Nystan (little yarn ball) together with Mia and Tuija. I did not buy anything, yet I inspected various yarns with pleasure (two last pictures taken by Katja).
Alumisel pildil on ka kuulus soome kuduja ja disainer Puikkomaisteri (Vardameister).
A famous Finnish knitter and designer Puikkomaisteri (Needle Master) is in the bottom picture.

Lihtne must sviiter/A simple black sweater
Lõpuks sviitri pilte. Selle saamislugu oli päris seiklusrikas, kes soovib, võib lugeda siin. Samas postituses on lugu lõngast. Ütleme nii, et 100 g jämedamat mohääri (umbes 25 g/200 m) ja veel mingeid jääke ehk üle 800 m, ning ligi 60 g peenvlillast (100 g/1400 m). Kirstiina, tänan piltide eest!
Finally, pictures of the sweater. Its story was indeed full of adventures, if you wish you are welcome to read here. Everything concerning the yarns is in that post. Let us say, 100 g of a thicker mohair (something like 25 g/200 m) plus some leftovers, which yields slightly over 800 m, and about 60 g of laceweight wool (100 g/1400 m). Kristiina, thanks for the pictures!

YU Magazine ja kudumid/YU Magazine and knitwear
YU Magazine valib järgmise numbri kaanetüdrukut/-poissi. Nüüd on 9 kandidaati, võite hääletada kodulehel. Nädala pärast on juba teised reklaamid, nii et fotod ja video lähevad arhiivi. Seetõttu panen üles ka siia. Modellid kannavad minu kudumeid. Ajakirja kodulehel on üks väike kirjutis minust.
YU Magazine is looking for a cover girl or boy for the next issue. Now there are 9 candidates and you can vote on the website here. Next week there will be new advertisments, so the photos and the video will be transfered to archive. This is why I am uploding them onto my blog. The models are wearing my knits. There is a small story about me on the website (Estonian only but nothing you don't know).
Ja siin on kogu grupp ja siis meie meeskond (vasakult paremale: jumestaja Egle Ainumäe, stilist Reila Saarmäe, peatoimetaja Marlen Mais, mina, fotograaf Georg-Sander Männik).
And here is the whole group and then our team (from left to right: make-up artist Egle Ainumäe, stylist Reila Saarmäe, editor in chief Marlen Mais, me and the photographer Georg-Sander Männik).

Varrukaid veel pole/No sleeves yet
Koon Raasiku villasest (8/2) ja peenvillasest (Haapsalu). Kui lisada teine lõng, kasvõi väga peenike, muutub kude reljeefsemaks. Jaki varrukaid veel ei ole, aga juba nüüd on enam-vähem selge, mis sellest välja tuleb.
I am kniting Raasiku wool 8/2 and laceweight wool (Haapsalu by Midara). If you add another yarn, even a very thin one, the stitches get more definition. There are no sleeves yet but it is more or less clear what it is going to be.
