My autumn depression.

Minul on täiega peal sügisdepressioon. Käsitöös praegu ka midagi ei edene - kotilõng otsas, kampsun nässus (liiga väike), Haapsalu salli kudumine edeneb nii aeglaselt ja hark hargipitsi jaoks oli ka Karnaluksis otsas. Ühesõnaga ootan paremaid päevi. Loodan, et järgmine postitus tuleb juba märksa positiivsem :)

Pole teiste sallide pilte blogides märganud ja loodan , et pole midagi kui oma poolikut salli siin näitan.

I have autumn depression and I forgot to write a post here :( Also everything is bad with my handworks - I don't have yarn anymore to end my bag and the kardigan looks not good (little bit small). The Haapsalu shawl that is on the picture takes so much time and get on so slowly. So I´m waiting for a better days and I hope that the next post will be more positive :)

New bag :)

Suvekotte on nüüdseks mitmeid, vaja on ka talvekotti. Heegeladan Novita Hoapanen lõngast ja heegelnõelaga nr.6, seega ruudud tulevad väga suured. Muster on aga sama, mis eelmistel kottidelgi, ainult, et seekord ma kavatsen ka vanutamist teha. Alguses mõtlesin, et prooviks alguses pistan pesumanisse vaid ühe motiivi, kuid kui nägin kui palju sellele lõnga kulus, siis enam ei raatsinud. Nimelt ühest tokist(100g) saab vaid 2,5 ruutu. Seega on vaja juurde 4 tokki lõnga, et heegeldada veel 9 motiivi.

I have some summerbags and now I need one winterbag too. I use Novita Hoapanen yarn and the hook nr.6. The motifs become very large but I will felt them. The pattern is the same as in my last bags. Firs I thought to felt one example motif but when I saw how many yarns it take, I disclaimed. From one skein(100g) I can crochet only 2,5 squares, so I need 6 skeins of yarn to crochet only 13 motifs:)

Kardigan

Eile hakkasin kuduma omale uue kampsuni. Lõngadeks valisin Novita Teddy ja Aino. Mulle meeldib selle hooaja uus sinine värv ja ka nende lõngade jämedus on hea. Seega kampsun peaks ruttu valmis saama, kuna koon nr. 6 varrastega :) Et vältida pidevat harutamist, mis on minu puhul tavaline, tegin nagu kord ja kohus kõigepealt proovilapi. Ei mäletagi, millal ma viimati proovilapi kudusin :$ Idee sain Filati ajakirjast sügis/talv 2005.

Yesterday I started to knit kardigan. I chosed Novita Teddy and Aino yarns because I like their colour. I used needles nr. 6, so I hope I will end this work quickly. The pattern is from Filati magazine fall/winter 2005.
