Heleni õlasoe. Helen's wrap.

Kudumist-aastale tuleb punkt soojemat sorti õlasoojendajaga.

Heleni soovil läks kordamisele mu enda varem kootud mudel. Eks ma ikka veidi-veidi modifitseerisin teda.
Koekirjaks on välismaa keelest tuntud "fan and feather". Hea lihtne kudumine.

Plaan oli kududa Novita Luxus Alpakast üksi, kuid peale proovi tegemist tundus, et seda on kuidagi vähe sellise mõnusa eseme jaoks. Et siis saada lisa pehmust ning mahulisust, panin nimetatud lõngaotsa kokku Rowani Kidsilk Hazega, mida mul siin hiljuti tehtud sallist veidi järel oli.
Alpakat kulutasin alla 3 toki ning mohääri vist tiba üle toki.
Varras 5mm.


This is "the end" for my knitting-year 2009.
As Helen has wished, I knitted my own pattern once again, slight modifications, though.
Stitch pattern is "fan and feather", very good easy knitting.

I had a plan to use Novita Luxus Alpaca yarn, but as I made my try-out with it, I felt that it could be more for this item. So I added also Rowan Kidsilk Haze and together they worked much better for me:)
Used Novita yarn bit less than 3 skeins and Rowan's bit more than 1 skein.
Needles 5mm.

Musta liblika vest. The vest of the Black Butterfly.

Iseenda garderoobi täiendasin vesti näol.
Koekiri tütrele kootud punasest mütsist oli veel varrastel värskelt meeles ja nii sai ta siia sisse kootud koos palmikutega. Eks ta nii sai, et kui ma otsast algasin, ei teadnud ma veel päris täpselt, missugune ta välja kukub.
Vat selline siis sai - esimene ja tagumine pool pea identsed, eest on kaelaauk tiba sügavam vaid.
Seljas on väga mõnus ja soe:)

Lõng Rowan Kid Classic "peat", kulutasin 4 tokki.
Varras 4mm.


I had to complement my wardrobe with a vest.
Stitch pattern from my daughters red hat was still "warm" and so I knitted it also in to my own vest. Had no very clear vision in my head then I started it, but this is how it turned out.
The front and the back are basically same, just the neckline is deeper on front.
Very warm and comfty to wear:)


Yarn is Rowan Kid Classic "peat", 4 skeins.
Needles 4mm.

Song for a Winter's Night

(This frame is from the video I found from YouTube, it is not an official video for this song)


Winter's night by Sarah McLachlan

(Written and first sung by Gordon Lightfoot in 1975)

The lamp is burnin' low upon my table top
The snow is softly fallin'
The air is still within the silence of my room
I hear your voice softly callin'

If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
Upon this winter night with you

The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead
My glass is almost empty
I read again between the lines upon the page
The words of love you sent me

If I could know within my heart
That you were lonely too
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
Upon this winter night with you

The fire is dying now, my lamp is growing dim
The shades of night are liftin'
The mornin' light steals across my windowpane
Where webs of snow are driftin'

If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
And to be once again with with you
To be once again with with you



Kõikse maagilisemat Jõuluaega! Hoidke endid ja oma armsaid!

Have a most magic Christmas-time! Take a good care of yourself and your beloved-ones!

Šokolaadinööbi teine tulemine ja palju muud. The Second life of the Chocolate Button and more.

Mõnda aega tagasi kudusin esmakordselt Rowani Alpaca Cottonist prooviks mütsi. Kandmisel selgus, et see müts ei õigustanud end. Tähendab, tuleb uuesti kududa.
Siin on nüüd siis teine versioon sellest ning sellega olen ma ise rahul:)
Varras 3,5mm.

Some time ago I knitted a hat which I named "Chocolate button". Well, this hat didnt "work", so I had to knit it once again. This time I do like it much better and it "works":).
Needles 3,5mm.

See naturaal-valge torn-müts sai kootud teismelisele tütreraasule. ühe päeva kandis, siis ütles, et ikka ei sobi. Äkki keegi tahab endale?
Kootud on ta Rowan Kid Classicu ja Novita Florica otsad kokku. Varras 5mm.
This simple natural white tower-hat is made for my teen daughter. She wore it once and decided, that it does not go for her.
Rowan Kid Classic and Novita Florica - two ends together and needles 5mm.

Otsustasin siis tütrele proovida ajakirjast mütsi maha viksida. See müts on pärit ühest viimasest Designer Knitting (endine Vogue Knitting) ajakirjast, Kate Gagnoni disain.
Päris üks-ühele ma teda ei kudunud, küll aga kasutasin nö koemustrit, mis on minuarust väga lahe ja nutikas.
Seda mütsi on nüüd tütar kaks korda kandnud.. ehk läks õnneks seekord:)
Lõng on Rowani Kid Classic, toon "cherry", 1 tokk. Vardad 3,5 ja 4mm.

So I had to knit another hat for my daughter. Took a pattern from "Designer Knitting" this time, Kate Gagnon's design. I find this pattern very cool and clever.
Well, Loore has wore it twice... lets see, if it goes better with thisone:)
Its Rowan Kid Classic, once again, 1 skein "cherry". Needles 3,5 and 4mm.


Väiksemat sorti sall on kootud sõbranna emale jõulukingiks. Kohandasin oma vana armsat mustrit selle tarvis. Sall on topelt ja näeb mõlemalt poolt identne välja.
Rowan Kid Classic, "oats"; Novita Florica ja Avita Silkid. Varras 6mm.

This scarf is knitted for a friends mother. I modified "the pattern" I have knitted before, to get a smaller scarf. It is double and looks identical from both sides.
Yarns I used are Rowan Kid Classic, Novita Florica and Alvita Silkid. Needles 6mm.


Ja siit üks kaeleasoojendus-toru iseendale kandmiseks.
Hiiglaslikud palmikud on mind ikka köitnud, nüüd sain neid kasutada.


Lõng on Indiecita alpaca, kaks otsa koos. Varras 4mm.


And here comes a neckwarmerer-pipe for my own use. I have been always intrigued by huge cables, but havent really used them:)
Yarn is Indiecita alpaca, two ends together and needles 4mm.

Kummituslik lillemeri. Apparitional flowerbed.

Sedakorda valisin "Haapsalu salli" raamatust välja "maailma kõige ilusama salli mustri".
Ja kudusin ja kudusin ja tahtsin ikka teada, kas tuleb tõesti see kõige-kõige.
Ilus on ta küll, aga "kõige ilusam" jääb ilmselt ikkagi subjektiivseks väljendiks.

Ei saanud see sall üleni äärepitsi. Kudusin otstesse arenduse samast koekirjast.

Lõng Rowan Kidsilk Haze, toon "ghost" ehk siis (kummituslik) helehall. Veimevakast ikka.
3 tokki kudusin. Seejuures sai päris korralike mõõtmetega - 65x200cm.
Varras 5mm.

Found a stitch pattern called "the most beautiful stitch pattern for a shawl in the world!" from the book "Haapsalu sall" and could not restst to try it out. So I knitted and knitted and wondered if it really will be "as beautiful as promised":) Well, dont know about that, probably its still subjective. But still, it turned out a beautiful shawl. I think.

Yarn is Rowan Kidsilk Haze, shade "ghost" aka light gray. Knitted 3 skeins and got quite a proper size - 65x200cm. Needles 5mm.

Shokolaadinööp. Chocolate button.

Veel üks müts endale. Puhtalt lõnga pärast sai tehtud. Rowanil uus ja kummalise koostisega (minu jaoks) lõng Alpaca Cotton. Toonid on ainult "natural" ja see pruun võttis mu Veimevakka külastades kohe joonelt maha. Võtsin prooviks ühe toki ja nii temast müts saigi.
Lõnga õige värv on tegelikult ainult mütsi alumisel osal. Ülemisse kudusin ühest helehallist sallist üle jäänud mohääri sisse.
Seekord jätsin alla serva väikese lahtise "kõrvakese". Ikka kelmikuse pärast;)

Lõnga koha pealt ei oskagi öelda - tal ei ole minu jaoks piisavalt iseloomu - liiga lödi. Värvivalik meeldib mulle kohe väga, aga ma ei julge öelda, kas ma teda veel ette võtan. Harutamist ta ka hästi ei talu. Kuna ta on minu lemmiku Kid Classicuga samas hinnaklassis, siis ma eelistan endiselt viimast.

Lõng sai nimetatud - Rowan Alpaca Cotton - kulus alla toki. Lisaks siis veidi Kidsilk Haze.
Varras 4,5mm.

Another hat for my personal use:) Just cause of Rowan has a intriguing new yarn Alpaca Cotton and the shades it has are just magnificent! This "brown" just rob my heart:)
I had to give it a try and so I just took 1 skein and turned it in to a hat. The real shade is seen only the lower part of the hat. In the upper part I used also Kidsilk Haze "ghost" additionally.
This hat got an "open ear" - to add a bit of spark to it;)

Im not sure I would dare to knit this yarn again. Cotton is not "my yarn" and this yarn somehow has no character for me. I do adore those shades they have produced, but as my favourite "Kid Classic" comes in same price, then I will prefer the last one.

Already mentioned yarns. Used less than a skein of Alpaca Cotton and added about 0.3 skein of Kid Classic.
Needles 4.5mm.

Tänud läbi astumast!
Thank you for dropping by!

Hõbedane vesiroos. Silver waterlily.

Sedakorda sai üle pika aja kolmnurkne ning jämedamast lõngast sall.
Seda mustrit "Haapsalu salli" raamatus silmates, tundus, et see sobib just kolmnurkse jaoks kenasti. Nii ma ta ette võtsingi ning selline ta välja kukkus.
Ilmselt leian ma sellele koekirjale veel ja veel väljundit:)



Lõng on Rowan Silk Wool DK, mõnus meriino ja siidi segune lõng. Kulutasin 5 tokki. Veimevakast.
Varras 6mm.
Serva kudusin kolm ringi Rowan Kidsilk Haze. Et oleks väike kiiks ka küljes;)

This time comes something triangular and a bit different choice of yarn.
As I saw this stitch pattern in the book "Haapsalu sall", I knew, that triangular is the case. So I tried it out and this is how it turned out.
Im pretty sure, I will knit this particular stitch pattern again:)

Yarn I have used, is Rowan Silk Wool DK, 5 skeins.
Needles 6mm.

Thank you for stepping by!
