Kašmiirine Kroonprints

Siit ma tulen, peale pikka vaikust. Ehket kaua-tehtud-kaunikene?

Tegu on tellimusega, mis rändab Austraaliasse ühe armsa naisterahva õlgadele tema tütre pulmapeoks. Nii lõng, kui muster on tema valitud, niiet minu mureks jäi seekord vaid töö. Ja seda olen ma siin teinud - kohe 4 nädalat julgelt!

Olles hiljuti läbinud "haapsalu salli" kursuse, sain kohe õpitut katsetada. Soov oli Nancy Bushi raamatu järgi ruudu-kujuline kroonprints - niiet võtsin ja kudusin kohe raamatu järgi. Esimest korda elus kudusin servapitsi eraldi - kahes tükis ja õmblesin külge - julge samm minu poolt.

Värv ja materjal muidugi kõike seda ei soosinud:) Aga tulemus on suursugune, õhkõrn ja nii-pehme-nii-pehme!

Materjaliks saadeti udupeen Filatura Di Crosa Superior - 70% kašmiiri, 30% siidi. Ühes tokis on teda u 300meetrit ja kulutasin teda pea 7 tokki.

Vardad 3mm põhiosa ja 3,5mm servapitsi tarvis.

Päris ruut ta ei tulnud - lõplik mõõt sai 170x155cm.

Here I come, finally.

Thisone took me twice as much time it usually does:) But it turned out glorious and I am proud of my effort.

It It is a custom order from a lovely lady from Australia. She is going to wear it in her daughters weddings. She sent me yarn and also had a wish to have "crown prince" as it is in Nancy Bush book "Knitted lace of Estonia". So, this time I just had to do knitting:) It took 4 weeks! It is a lot for me - lucky me, its done now.

As I took a course about knitting "haapsalu" shawl recently, then I had a chance to use all tips right away. For a very first time I knitted edging separately in two pieces and sew all together. Phew:)

Although yarn (and also its shade) didnt make it anyhow easy for me.

It should be a square, but it didnt turn out quite square, but something like 170x155cm.

It is super luxurious yarn - Filatura Di Crosa Superior - contains 70% cashmere and 30% silk blends. It has about 300 metres per skein and I used almost 7 skeins.

Needles 3mm for center part and 3,5mm for edge.

Serv on kootud topeltlõngaga ja hiljem varras läbi aetud - et jääks kenasti aasaline nagu peab:)

Casted on edging with double yarn and stretched out stitches to get a nice loopy edge as it has to be:)

Sedasi siis. Pilti tegi Loore, üle käisin nad ise nagu tavaliselt:)

Suur tänu kõigile, kes te olete kannatlikult siin ikka-jälle kiikamas käinud!

Loodetavasti järgmised tööd rõõmustavad teid siin jälle piisavalt varsti;)

Well, thats it for now:) Loore took photos and I developed them, as usually.

Thank you for your patience and concern about my long silence! Lets hope that next projects wont take so long;)
