Oven "Siil lilledega" / Cross Stitch Kit by Oven "Nature's Wonder"

"Nature's Wonder" on vene firma Oven tikkimiskomplekt. Kasutasin pakis olnud niite ja tegin täpselt mustri järgi, ainult tikkimisriide vahetasin välja. Originaalis pidanuks pilt olema valgel Aida kangal, aga minu arvates sobis linane hoopis paremini. Pilt tuli nii armas, et vääris ka professionaalset raamimist.

This is a kit by Oven "Nature's Wonder" (963). I used kit flosses but not the fabric. It was meant to be on white Aida but natural colored linen fits better, I think. Otherwise I followed the pattern to the dot and enjoyed the process a lot. Final result was so cute that I got it professionally framed as well.

Järgmise korrani!

Until next time!

Greta beebitekk / Greta's Blanket

See beebitekk läks pisikesele Greatale. Ideid otsides tahtsin midagi rahvuslikku ja silm jäi peale mustrile, mida kasutasin oma "Punaste tulpidega" sallis. See on pärit "Helga Rüütli" sallide raamatust ja minu lemmikmuster ka rahvuslikus tikandis. Lõpetasin i-cordiga. Lõng on puhas akrüül ja varda suurust ei oska ma öelda, sest unustasin kududes märkmeid teha. 

Suuruseks tuli u. 160 x 160 cm. Esimesel pildil on see just värskelt varrastelt maha saanud ja kass katsetab, kas tuli ka hea ja pehme tekk. Tekk jõudis enne uuele omanikule minna, kui avastasin, et see viimistlemata tekkipilt ongi ainuke, kus terve tekk näha. Nii, et las jääb siis see.

This is Greta's baby blanket. I wanted to knit something with traditional Estonian pattern in it and picked the one I had already used previously in my "Red Tulips Shawl".  It was created based on folk costume's embroidery and has always been my favourite. Edges are finised with i-cord.

Yarn is acrylic but unfortunately I can't say which size of needle was used as I forgot to make notes while knitting. Finished size of the blanket is about 160 x 160 cm. 

First picture was taken right after I cast off and Henry the cat is testing the quality. Only later came out that is only one where you can see whole blanket, so I decided to leave it.

Järgmise korrani!

Until next time!

Shimo kampsun / Shimo sweater

Mõnikord juhtub ette lõng, mis kohe tahab millekski kootud saada. Antud lõng (Yarn Bee Authentic Hand-Dyed Tonal, Cardinal Velvet värvitoonis) oli armastus esimesest silmapilgust, käisin seda poes vaikselt imetlemas ja silitamas, kuni andsin alla ja ostsin kampsunitäie ära. Mustri valik oli samuti lihtne, vaatasin Ravelrys ringi ja Shimo oli täpselt see, mida vajasin. Mulle meeldis nii lihtsus kui ülevalt alla kudumise meetod.

Kudusin kahekordse lõngaga, vardad olid vastavalt 3.5 ja 4mm. Üldjoontes järgisin õpetust, kuid minu kapsun on pikem, kui originaalis ette nähtud. Varrukaid kahandasin tihedamini ja rohkem ning jätsin ära enne soonikut oleva pitsiosa. Katsetasin ettenähtud varianti ka, aga see jäi liiga puhvis ja ei meeldinud mulle. Kokku kulus umbes seitse tokki. Lühema puhul piisanuks kuuest.

 

This yarn (Yarn Bee Authentic Hand-Dyed Tonal, Cardinal Velvet) was love at first sight. I kept going back and admireing it and finally gave in and bought enough for a sweater. Finding pattern was also easy enough, Shimo combines simple lines and top-down knitting. 

I doubled the yarn and knitted with 3.5 and 4mm needles as instructed in the pattern. Only changes I made is that my sweater is longer and sleeves have more decreases and are missing the lace detail. Original sleeves were too puffy for me.

Järgmise korrani!

Until next time!

Hannah beebitekk / Hannah's Baby Blanket

 

Käesoleva aasta veebruaris sündis mu sõbrannal pisitütar, kellele katsikule minna ei õnnestunudki, sest koroona tuli vahele. Kuid tekk sai valmis ning augustis õnnestus lõpuks ka üle anda.

 

 

Algselt oli mul kindel plaan mõni teine ruut teha, katsetasin mitmeid, kuid lõpuks jäin ikka oma armsale pajupuule kindlaks. Olen seda mitmes beebitekis kasutanud ja see muster meeldib mulle mitmel põhjusel. Esiteks on see kerge ning jääb ruttu meelde. Teiseks on see nii pitsiline kui ka kattev. Äärepitsi tegin omaloominguna ja see kujunes protsessi käigus. 

 

 

Lõngavöö on kuhugi kadunud, seega ei oska ma praegu öelda, mida täpselt kasutasin, kuid tean, et see oli puhas akrüül. Tekkide puhul ma kunstmaterjali ei karda, sest eriti beebitekk on ese, mida tuleb vajadusel pesta ning akrüüli puhul pole hirmu, et see pesule vastu ei pea. Heegelnõelaks on mu vana armas numbrita veneaegne.

 

My dear friend had a baby girl this February but I did not manage to meet her because of corona virus and stay-home-order. Blanket was finished and was waiting to be gifted for months, I finally saw her in August and could also post the pictures.

My initial plan was to use some other square and tested out many but finally decided to crochet my favorite Willow square again. I have used it in many baby blankets and love it for two reasons. First, it is a very easy pattern to remember and second, it is equally lacy and covering. Edging is my own creation. 

Wool is 100% acrylic (can't recall the brand) and I do not mind using it for blankets as especially baby afghans might require frequent washing and acrylic survives all this.

Väike pilt / Small Design

Seoses koroonaviirusega ning sunnitud kodusolemisega avaldasid mitmed ristpistemustrite disainerid tasuta mustreid. Valik on tohutu, kuid alustasin oma lemmiku Madame Chantilly loomingust, sest mis oleks toredam kui üks raamatute juures mõnulev siilike.
Tikkisin DMC niitidega isevärvitud Aida peale. Originaalis olid raamatute kõrval mulineetokid. Mängisin mõttega, et lisan ka lõngakera ning vardad, sest mulle meeldib nii lugeda, tikkida kui kududa, kuid otsustasin jääda vaid raamatute juurde. Minu arvates on nii kenam.

This is freebie design of Madame Chantilly to lift the spirits of stitchers while under stay-at-home order. Stitched on 18ct Aida which I tea-coffee dyed myself with DMC threads. 
If you would compare it with the original then you would notice that I left out some details and changed the color of one book. I was actually planning to stich the design as it was intended and just add ball of yarn with knitting needles poking out as I love read, stich and knit but then decided to omit floss and leave just the books. Looks better like this I think. 

Olge terved ja nautige suve!
Stay safe and healthy!
