Edenev kampsun

Viimasel ajal on siin nii vaikne olnud, kuna hakkasin kuduma kampsunit. Väga peenikesest lõngast (50 g = 210 m) 3 mm varrastega. Nagu arvata võib, edeneb see üsna aeglaselt. Nii pea ma seda valmis saada ei looda.

It has been so quiet over here because I started to knit a cardigan. I use fingering weight yarn (50 g = 210 m) and 3 mm needles. You probably have figured out already that my progress is quite slow. I don't hope to finish it in near future.

Rombid keset jääkristalle

Täna oli õues imeilus. Sellest ka selline postituse pealkiri. Üritasin seda ilu ka kaameraga jäädvustada.

Today it was unbelievably beautiful outside. I tried to catch all this beauty with my camera.





See on vaade meie aknast / This is the view from our window:


Nüüd sall. Lubasin sallist detailsemalt kirjutada.
Again the same shawl as yesterday. I promised to write about it a bit more detailed.


Muster: Nuppudega rombikiri Haapsalu salli raamatust.
Vardad: 4 mm
Lõng: Lang Jawoll Superwash Solid, 2 tokki (100 g)

Lõnga olin saanud pakivahetusest ja seetõttu tuli see sall täpselt nii suur, kui palju oli lõnga. Kui mul oleks seda lõnga rohkem olnud, oleksin kindlasti suurema salli kudunud.

Patter: Nuppudega rombikiri from the book 'Haapsalu sall'
Needles: 4 mm
Yarn: Lang Jawoll Superwash Solid, 2 skeins (100 g)

I got this yarn from the swap. So the shawl is exactly as big as much I had the yarn. If I had had this yarn a bit more I would have knit a bigger shawl.

Nuppudega rombikiri

Täna oli õues pime ja ei õnnestunud häid pilte saada. See oli ainus, mis õnnestus. Homme teen uue katse ja siis kirjutan sellest sallist ka lähemalt.

It was quite dark today outside and I didn't manage to get good pictures. This one is the only one that is almost OK. I'll try again tomorrow and then I'll also write more detailed.

Pakk USAst

Sain selle "Favorite Things Swap" käigus.

I received this package from USA during Favorite Things Swap. Thank you Bette!
