Salli täiendus

See sall tundus mulle siiski liiga väike. Harutasin otsa üles ja kudusin pikemaks. Tahtsin juurde ka laiust. Seetõttu heegeldasin kogu salli ääred üle. Pildid on väga tumedad, kuna korralikku valgust õues pole.

This shawl seemed too small for me. I knit it longer. Also I wanted it to be wider. So I crocheted additional lace to all the edges. Pictures are dark because there's not much light outside.

Värvikirevad sokid

Selle lõnga sain USAst. Lõng on nii kirju, et muster selle pealt välja ei paista. Tegemist on meriinovillase lõngaga. Kududa seda oli väga mõnus.

Muster: Ampersand (Ravelry link)
Vardad: 2,5 mm
Lõng: Beyond Basic Knits Prima Superwash Merino Sock, 50 g

I got this yarn from USA. The yarn is so colorful that pattern isn't visible very well. It was really good to knit with this wool. I don't think I've knitted with such nice feeling yarn before.

Hõbehall

Nagu näha sai mu kampsun valmis!

As you can see my cardigan is finished!


Aega kulus palju, aga lõpptulemusega olen väga rahul.

Muster: Autumn leaves
Vardad: 3 mm
Lõng: hall - Filcolana Universal Strompegarn (veidi üle 4 kera), tumeroosa - Evilla artyarn 6/2


It took quite a lot of time but I'm very pleased with the result.

Pattern: Autumn leaves
Needles: 3 mm
Yarn: Filcolana Universal Strompegarn (a little bit more than 4 skeins), dark pink - Evilla Artyarn 6/2


Mustrit muutsin veidi. Rinnajoonel tegin ühe kasvatusrea rohkem. Kaelus tundus liiga lahtine. Seetõttu improviseerisin viimase pitsiosa juurde ning kudusin kaeluse kinnisemaks. Ma arvan, et see muudatus oli väga hea.

I modified the pattern a bit. I made one additional increase row on bustline. Yoke seemed to be too widely open. Therefore I improvised one additional lace panel and knit the yoke longer. I think that both modifications made it look a lot better.


Kudusin endale ka kindad. Neutraalset halli värvi, et kõigega kokku sobiks. Nende kinnastega õppisin ära ka Kitchener stitchi (kahjuks pole mul aimugi, kuidas see eesti keeles on).

I also knitted myself mittens. They are neutral grey - so they go with everything. I learned to do Kitchener stitch!

Natuke muusikast

See blogi ei ole muutunud käsitööblogist millekski muuks, aga ma lihtsalt tahtsin midagi jagada.

Üheks mu meelistegevuseks on ka klaverimäng. Kui ma leian midagi, mis mulle väga meeldib, süvenen ma sellesse põhjalikult - kuulan ja mängin põhiliselt ainult seda muusikat. Tavaliselt kestab üks vaimustuse periood kuust poole aastani. Mul on olnud Tormise periood, Griegi periood, Satie periood, Madalmaade baroki periood ja 19. sajandi hispaania klaverimuusika periood.

Praegu on kord Borodini käes. Ja ma ei saa kuidagi üle ega ümber tema Väikese süidi 1. osast "Kloostris":

This blog hasn't turned from craft blog to something else but I just wanted to share something.

One of my favorite activities is playing the piano. If I find something that I really-really like I dig deeply in - I mainly play and listen to this music only. This period usually lasts from couple of months to half of year. I've had periods of Tormis, Grieg, Satie, Netherlands baroque and 19th century Spanish piano music.

Now it's Borodin's turn. I just can't get enough from his Little Suite and especially from the piece "In the monastery":

Tsitaat

"I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"Death thought about it."Cats," he said eventually. "Cats are nice."
