Terveisiä Villa Mokasta! Uh-huh, long time no blog- sorry!
Paljon kiitoksia kaikista ystävällisistä ja kannustavista kommenteista, onpa jokunen bloggari käynyt paikanpäälläkin!
Olen varsinaisen kaupanpidon ohessa saanut jotain neulotuksikin.
Hiljattain esitelty Reino-neule sai pojan, koko siis hieman pienempi, miehen M.
Painoa tuhdilla lapsosella on kuitenkin isukkia enemmän, hieman yli 900 grammaa. Lankana Stahlsche Wollen Landlord, 100% villaa, puikko 8.
Greetings from the small yarn shop Villa Mokka! Uh-huh, long time no blog- sorry!
Many thanks for the kind comments received! Some of You have even popped in - Great!
Besides the usual shopkeeping some knitting has also been finished.
Recently introduced Reino sweater witnessed a happy family situation by becoming a proud father of a sturdy son, weighing a tad over 900 grams - no wonder as he's 100 % wool, Stahlsche Wolle Landlord. Circular needle #8 served as a midwife.
IK:n Spiral boot sock Schöller&Stahlin Fortissimasta, puikko 21/2, ohjeen mukaan muutoin mutta varsi pari tuumaa pidempi. Toinen sukka on puikolla, kantapää ohitettu jo.
Pitkä ruskea neuletakki on taskuja vaille valmis. Tein siihen sekä pitkittäis-että poikittaisrintamuotolaskosta, ikäänkuin. Ajattelin, että en blokkaa kappaleita erikseen vaan pesaisen takin vasta valmiina. Tupperikipot avuksi tasokuivaukseen?
Mallitilkkuja kaikenlaisista langoista on tietysti tarvinnut tehdä, ja joistain langoista olen enemmän innoissani kuin joistain toisista; Sirdarin Peru Naturals ja Marks&Kattensin Eco-Ull pääsevät varmasti valmiiksi neuleiksi saakka.
The second sock still on the 21/2 mm circ needle, way past the heel, but I felt that this Spiral Boot sock from IK deserved an introduction. It's been made of Schoeller&Stahl Fortissima, following the pattern meticuloously except some added length to the leg.
The long brown cardigan is knitted but misses still pockets. I added space for bosom by short row knitting and also added vertical ease with extra stiches under breasts.
Instead of usual blocking I planned to wash gently the finished garment. Where to get shape when flat-drying? I'll have to check the Tupperware cups...
Sampling various yarns comes with the territory whe keeping the shop. Some yarns get me more exited than others. Sirdar Peru Naturals and Marks&Kattens Eco-Ull are prone to get knitted as a sweater or - maybe a dress!
