Bocholt

Kroonika mõttes panen siia paar pilti väiksest käigust Saksamaale Bocholti linna. Kord kuus sõidavad mõned hollandi kudujad Bocholti, et sealsete kohalike kudujatega kokku saada ning ühes armsas lõngapoes koos kududa, jutustada ja lihtsalt ennast mõnusalt tunda. Kaks korda olen minagi seal kaasas käinud. Viimasel korral läksin ja jalutasin veidi linnas ringi ning allpool sellest mõned pildid.

Once a month some Dutch knitters drive to Germany to a small town called Bocholt to meet local knitters over there. They gather at a lovely yarn shop, knit and chat together and just spend nice time. I've been going along two times now. Last time I also went for a little walk in the town itself and below are some photos. 

Kevadised heegeldused

Üks tellimustööna valminud sall. Lõngaks on tundmatu villane lõng, mille paar aastat tagasi erinevate looduslike materjalidega kirjuks värvisin. Pildilt ei tule erinevad värvid hästi välja, aga tegelikus elus on erinevad toonid selgemini eristatavad. Heegelkirja võtsin mustrist Pampille. Lõnga kulus 105 grammi ja heegelnõela suuruseks 3 mm.

My mom asked me to make a shawl for her friend. I decided to crochet because that's much quicker. The yarn is some unknown woolen yarn that I dyed several years ago with different natural materials. It's not very clear on the photos how the colors vary. The different hues are much more visible in real life. I used the pattern Pampille. It took 105 grams of yarn and I used hook size 3 mm. 

Tviid ja Taanimaa

Eelmisel nädalavahetusel sattusin Kopenhaagenisse ja seal sai muuhulgas üles pildistatud ka mu uus kampsun. Tegemist on ülevalt alla kootud raglaaniga. Ühtegi õpetust ma ei järginud. Kudusin nii nagu vardalt tuli. Lõngaks on Regia Tweed Trend (405 grammi), vardad 4 mm.

Last weekend I was in Copenhagen and among other things had my new sweater photographed. It's a top down raglan. I didn't follow any pattern. It just came out as it came. I used Regia Tweed Trend yarn (405 grams) and 4 mm needles. 

Ja kuna Taanimaast oli juba juttu, siis allpool paar klõpsu ka Kopenhaagenist.

And here are some shots of Copenhagen as well.

Knitting trip to Estonia

As you probably know I'm currently living in The Netherlands but am originally from Estonia. Couple of Dutch knitters gave me an idea to organize a trip to Estonia to take part in Haapsalu Lace Day. So I gave it a little thought and have put together a program.

You can read about it HERE. Also the registration form is there.

Einsideln

Nädalavahetusel viibisin taas Šveitsis ning seekord sai üle vaadatud pisike linnake nimega Einsiedeln. Seal on väga ilus klooster, mille teeb eriliseks, et Maarja kuju on mustanahaline. Kloostris sees kahjuks pilte teha ei lubata, aga see on väga ilus.

I was in Switzerland over the weekend and this time I had a chance to go to a lovely small town Einsiedeln. It is famous for its monastery. Monastery is famous for having black Virgin Mary. It is not allowed to take photos inside but you have to believe me that it's very beautiful.
