Originaalmustrit ei järginud, muutsin randmeosa, pöialt ja lisasin ka ühe mustrikorra, sest muidu poleks vajalikku pikkust välja andnud. Randmel on 96 silmust, labaosal 108.
Vardaks 1.25 mm ja lõngaks ebatraditsiooniliselt Debbie Bliss Rialto Lace. Kudusin pitsilõngast, sest piisavalt peenikest villast polnud hetkel kuskilt võtta. See lõng sobis tegelikult üllatavalt hästi, kinnas ei jäänud ülipaks, vaid mõnusalt õhuke ja pehme. Siinsesse Michigani kliimasse sobib, Eesti jaoks jääks arvatavasti liiga õhueseks.
Recently there are so many gorgeous mittens which are knitted with extremely thin needles in various blogs to admire. I wanted to knit one pair too and choose my first pair from Japanese mitten book. Now I am finally done (yeeeeh) and can say that these are probably the most time consuming mittens I have knitted so far. Ravelry states that I started this project on the 14th of February.
I didn't follow the original pattern exactly, I changed the cuff and thumb pattern and also added one repeat to main pattern (mitten would have been to short otherwise). Cuff has 96 stitches, hand 108. So, they are knitted with 1.25 mm needles from Debbie Bliss Rialto Lace yarn. The yarn choice is nontraditional but as I didn't have any other thin yarn in hand, decided to give it a try. I am please with the result, mittens are thin but still warm and soft, perfect for Michigan climate. Might be too thin for Estonia tough.
Lõpetuseks pean ütlema, et olen (arvatavasti) sõltuvuses. Kui ära harjud, siis on peenikeste varrastega väga mõnus kududa ja vaadake kui palju mustrit ühe käpiku peale mahub!
I think I (might) be addicted. Once you get used with it, its really good to knit with so thin needles and look how much pattern fits to just one mit!
Kohtumiseni!
Until next time!
