Lõngakera: märts 2014
Mõnikord on nii, et kudum edeneb plaani järgi, esialgne idee töötab ja pole probleeme. Kuid mitte alati. Seekord oli mul esialgu selline plaan: teha ülaosa laiade triipudega (värvilised triibud pole minu rida, mõtlesin koepindade vaheldumist) ja siis kaenlaalustest allapoole kas ripsis või labases koes. Esialgu tegin 4 mustrikorda, tundus palju, harutasin ühe ära ja läksin üle labasele koele. Kõik oli ilus, aga proovisin selga ja vaatasin, et jälle ei meeldi. Sain aru: kui teha nii, et triibud oleksid kudumi ülaosas, siis peaksid nad olema kitsamad. Siis otsustasin, et olgu üleni triibuline. Varrukad aga ei tule triibulised, vähemalt esialgse kavatsuse järgi mitte.
Sometimes a project is progressing according to the plan, the initial idea is working and everything is unproblematic. But not always. This time I had the following plan: to make the upper part in broad horisontal stripes (colour stripes is not my thing, I am thinking alternation of textures here) and then starting from underarms either garter or stockinette stitch. At first I made 4 pattern repeats and it seemed too much, so I frogged one and started the stockinette part. Everything looked nice until I tried it on and realized that I don't like it. I understood that if I were to make the upper part in stripes, the stripes should be narrower. Then I decided I would opt for stripes throughout. The sleeves however will not be striped, at least according to the initial plan.
Täna lendan koju. Leedu reis oli tore, suvel olen jälle Vilniuses.
I am flying home today. My trip to Lithuania was lovely, I will be in Vilnius in summer again.

See värv on nagu tindi värv, sellepärast on ka Ravelrys selle sviitri nimi Tint. Sonata, tänan piltide eest!
This colour is like the colour of ink, this is why I gave the name Tint (ink) to my Ravelry project. Sonata, thanks for the pictures!
Lõng/Yarn: Linen (SIŪLAS) 100g/450 m, ~ 150 g; mohäär/mohair 25 g/250 m, ~ 65 g
Mohääri sain Diteksasest pooli pealt, tootja teadmata, aga on tavaline peenike mohäär.
I got the mohair from a cone at Diteksas, manufacturer unknown but it is a usual thin mohair.

Kunagi tuleb suvi ja usun, et seda toppi kannan üsna palju. Tegelikult kannan juba praegu koos jakiga. Sonata, tänan piltide eest!
Summer will eventually come and I believe the top will be used a lot. Actually, I am wearing it already with a jacket. Sonata, thanks for the pictures!
Lõng/Yarn: Setica (100 % siid/silk), 100 g/130 m, ~300 g
Kunagi peaks tagasi tulema stiili ja faktuurse koepinna juurde, selle postituse jätkuks.
Sometimes in future I have to revisit the topic of style and textured fabric, in order to develop this post.

Selline on siis kere. Puudu on varrukad ja tuleb veel viimistleda kaelust. Kudusin ripskoes ringselt, aga teatud nõksuga, nii et iga ringi kudusin parempidi. Tegelik värv on tindisinine.
This is the torso. I still have to knit the sleeves and to finish the neck opening. I worked in garter stitch in the round but doing a certain trick, so that every round was with knit stitches. The real colour is ink-blue.

Linane, mohäär ja ripskude/Linen, mohair and garter stitch
Esialgu oli kolm mõtet täiesti lahus. Esimene, et võiks jälle kududa mohääri kokku linasega (mul oli juba mohäär ootamas ja õiget värvi linane valmis vaadatud). Teine, et võiks teha midagi ripskoes. Kolmas, et võiks olla V-kaelusega sviiter, pole neid eriti palju kudunud, kuigi V-kaelus sobib mulle ja meeldib päris hästi. Täna aga jõudsin selleni, et kõik kolm on teostatavat ühes kudumis. Loodan, et tuleb välja.
In the beginning there were three completely isolated thoughts. The first was to combine mohair and linen once again (I already had mohair waiting and had spotted linen with the right colour). The second was to knit something in garter stitch. The third one was to make a V-neck sweater, I have not knitted them a lot, although I like them and this kind of neck opening suits me. So, today I arrived to a conclusion that all three thoughts can be realised within a single knit. I hope I will be able to do it.

Lõng on päris mõnus, muster koob end ise. Täna pidin lõnga juurde hankima: alguses võtsin 200 g (260 m) ja oli juba ette teada, et läheb vaja veel. Vaatamata sellele, et lõng on musta värvi, on muster päris kenasti nähtav.
The yarn is quite pleasant and the pattern knits itself. Today I had to get more yarn: in the beginning I bought 200 g (260 m) and it was clear already in the beginning that I will need more. Despite the fact that the yarn is black, the pattern is visible quite well.
Mõni aeg tagasi kirjutasin siidilõngast, mis on paela moodi ja pole üldse libe (kui ei teaks, ei ütleks, et see on siid). Nüüd selgub, et sellele lõngale sobib ka reljeefne muster.
Some time ago I wrote about a slik yarn that is like a ribbon and is not slippery (if you don't know beforehand, you wouldn't say it is slik). Now it is clear that the yarn is good for some textured patterns as well.
Muster on väga lihtne. See pole kahekordne pärlkude, vaid kolmekordne (ei tea, kas selline ametlik nimi on olemas). Nihe toimub 3 rea järel.
The pattern is very simple. It is not double but tripple moss stitch (I am not sure if this name is conventional). The shift occurs after 3 rows.
Minu akna taga on selline pilt (valge ollus on lumi):
The view from my window is like this (the white substance is snow):
Öösel oli torm, nüüd lubatakse siiski ilma soojenemist. Aga minu kudumine ei sõltu aastaajast. Kui tekib tahtmine kududa teatud lõnga või teatud lõng on kõige parem antud idee teostamiseks, siis juhtub ka nii, et koon mohääri 30-kraadise palavusega ja linast keset talve. Topp on ära kuivanud. Tegelik värv on rohelisem. Linane on ikka meeldiv.
It was a stormy night and the forcast promises warmer weather later. But my knitting does not depend on the season. If I want to work with a certain yarn or a certain yarn would be the best for a certain design idea, it can happen that I knit mohair in 30 degrees heat or linen in the middle of the winter. The top is dry. The real colour is a deeper green. Linen is rather pleasant to knit.

Kuna olen Leedus, tuleb kududa midagi linasest, selge see. Lõng on Biržai varbriku linane (100 g/450 m), kahekordne, vardada 3 mm.
As I am in Lithuania, for sure, I have to knit something from linen. The yarn is linen by Biržai facory (100 g/450 m), held double, needles 3 mm.

Tulemus on väga minulik sviiter. Lihtsa tegumoega ja hall. Eile sai sviiter mitu korda kiita. Pean veel poes käima lõngajääke kaalumas. Ilmselt lõnga on kulunud nagu tavalise mohäärisviitri puhul, midagi 60-70 g vahel (varrukad on suhteliselt lühikesed, nii et mitte rohkem).
The result is quite "my" sweater. With a simple shape and grey. Yesterday I received several compliments. I have to go to the store in order to weigh the remaining yarn. Probably, the quantity of used yarn is like in a ususual mohair sweater, something between 60-70 g (the sleeves are short, so it cannot be more than that).
Sonata, atäh piltide eest! Sonata, thanks for the pictures! Sonata, ačiū už nuotraukas!
Huvitav, et kahekordne pärlkude niisuguse koheva lõnga puhul annab buklee efekti. Kaugelt vaadates ei saa aru, et see on tegelikult reljeefne muster. Ülevalt teine pilt näitab seda päris hästi.
It is noteworthy that double moss stitch worked on such an airy yarn yields bouclé effect. Looking from afar you don't realize that this is a textured pattern. The second picture from top demonstrates this pretty well.

Pärlkude ja kahekordne pärlkude: natuke teooriat/Moss stitch and double moss stitch: some theory
Olen juba hulk aega mõelnud, miks mõni lõng ei talu pärlkude, kuid talub kahekordset pärlkude. See, et mõnele lõngale ei sobi mingi reljeefne kude, on teada. Kui lõng on tugeva keeruga, nagu paljud meriinod, siis sobivad mõlemad. See sviiter on meriinost ja muster on pärlkude.
I've been thinking for a while why some yarns don't like moss stitch but double moss stitch is looking fine. It is well known that some yarns don't tolerate any textured patterns. If a yarn has a strong twist, like many merinos do, then both kinds of moss stitch are suitable. This sweater is from merino and the pattern is moss stitch.
Eesti jämedamad villased (nt Aade lõng 8/3) on kahekordseks pärlkoes päris head. Need pole meriinod, lõng pole "ümmargune", on isegi pisut kohev, kude ei ole väga tekstuurne, kuid siiski nähtav. Ilmselt on nii: kui vaheldus on väga tihe, siis nimetatud omadustega lõng ei näita seda. Kahekordne pärlkude ei ole aga nii tiheda vaheldusega. Praegu koon 2 lõngast (mohääri-polüamiid + peenvillane) ja tundub, et väike kohevus ei sega. Võib-olla pole iga silmus väga nähtav, aga üldmulje on selline, et pind on ebaühtlane.
Thicker Estonian yarns (like Aade lõng 8/3) are quite good for double moss stitch. These are not merino yarns and are not "rounded" but even somewhat fluffy; the fabric is not very textured but the pattern is visible yet. Probably this is how it goes: if alternation of different stitches is frequent, then yarns with the mentioned qualities do not show this. However, double moss stitch does not have such a frequent alternation. Now I am working with two yarns held together (mohair-polyamide blend + laceweight wool) and it appears that a little bit of fluffyness does not interfere. Perhaps every stitch is not very visible but there is a general impression that the fabric is slightly textured.

Täna Diteksases panin 2 lõnga kokku: peenikest poolvillast ja mohääri-polüamiidi segu, ja tegin väikse proovi. Tulemus on kergelt säbruline. Noormees, kes oli täna müüja, keris kohe masinaga kokku ja ütles, et kogu pool oleks nagu 3-mõõtmelise efektiga. Pole midagi uut, Anna hakkab kuduma lihtsat musta-halli asja! Viimasel ajal meeldivad mulle lihtsad kudumid huvitava faktuuriga. Poolilõngu saab väga edukalt kokku segada.
Today at the Diteksas store I put 2 yarns together: a very thin wool-blend and a mohair-polyamide blend, and made a little swatch. The result was a slight mélange. The young man who was behind the counter today, wound immediately the two yarns together with a special machine and said that the cone looks like it were 3D! Nothing new, Anna is going to knit a simple black-grey thing! Recently I've been into simple knits with an interesting texture. You can combine yarns on cones quite sucessfully.
