Ok, peitsin kõik lõngaotsad ära, pesin pluusi ära ja tõmbasin nööpnõeltega kuivama. Kui kampsun oli kuiv, selgus et see on natuke liiga suur, õigemini liiga lai, pikkust oleks iseenesest võinud hoopis rohkem olla. Lisaks oli ka kaelaauk kahtlaselt suur. Ühesõnaga ta oli üsna imeliku kujuga ja ei istunud üldse. Mõtlesin, et järsku see tõmbaks pesumasinas natuke kokku ja seejärel saaks talle parema kuju vormida. Mõeldud-tehtud.

Siit aga õppetund, kui asi ei istu, ei maksa pesumasinaga eksperimenteerima hakata - tuleb kohe üles harutada. Kodus arvati, et ongi hea, et ei sobi - värv olevat liiga roheline.
I knitted the top Drops 101-14. Well, if I start to think then my last unsuccessful knitting project was quite a long time ago. So maybe it was the right time for the new one. What happened then?
Firstly, I knitted exactly as the pattern states, even my gauge was the same. Still, when I reached to sewing together the sleeves, it appeared that whether the pattern was wrong or I but the sewing them together as the pattern suggests was not possible. So I picked up the stitches from the gap between the sleeve, knitted a rib and then sewed all it together.
That was just a beginning of misadventures. I washed the top and blocked it. When it was dry it appeared that it is too big for me and also eith a bit weird shape - the neckline was too wide. So instead of ripping it all up I thought "what if I wash it in a machine? Maybe it will shrink a bit and then I can change the shape by blocking?" (Big mistake).
So I washed it and you can see the result above. It is now too small and the neckline is still too wide. In addition, I can't rip it anymore because the yarn felted a bit in the machine. So what lesson did I learn - never experiment with the washing machine, frog the thing right away! My partner thougt that it is even good that the top didn't work out, he had never liked the color I knitted it with.

Nüüd küll hilja aga mina oleksin õmmelnud/painutanud edasi varruka soonikuosa sinna kaenlaaluse kaarde , nii et sooniku tipud kohtuvad küljeõmblusjoonel.
silmajärgi tundub just paras mõõt olevat.
