Kootud loor - knitted veil

I was asked to knit a veil for a bride. The wedding ceremony was on the 1st of November. It took some time for the bride to find out which pattern to choose. Final choice was a leaf pattern, and the edge pattern was with hearts.
Mul paluti ühele pruudile loor kududa. Tseremoonia oli 1.nov 2013. Pruudil läks aega, et valida loori muster. Lõplikuks valitus osutus lehe muster, servapitsiks väiksed südamed.

Leaf pattern:
Lehe muster:
Hearts:
Südamed:
This is testing piece that went to the bride for final evaluation. 
See on proovitükk, mis läks pruudile lõpliku otsuse tegemiseks.




I finished making the main part, and  the edge lace. I was about to stitch it together when this tiny pony was brought to me, for dog sitting. Two hours later I tried to find the knitted pieces I have put on the table but the main part was not there. I looked around, and I finally found it in the hallyway torn to pieces... So I started knitting again, at 6 pm, and finally finished knitting 1 am. I blocked it and went to bed.
I woke up at 6 am, and stitched  them together and put it on a 7 am bus to Tallinn, capital to Estonia. It arrived on time!
Kudusin valmis salli peamise osa, ning ka äärepitsi. Tahtsin hakata neid just kokku õmblema, kui mulle see väike poni hoida toodi paariks päevaks. Tutvustasin koerale oma kodu ja parki. 2 tundi pärast koera saabumist tahtsin uuesti kokkuõmblemist alustada, kuid ei suutnud kootud põhiosa  leida. Otsisin mööda kogu korterit, kuni lõpuks leidsin selle esikust suht tükkideks rebituna. :( Seega alustasin kudumist uuesti õhtul kl 18 ning lõpetasin hommikul kl 1. Panin nõeltega venitusse kuivama ning sain magama minna.
Ärkasin kell 6, et kokku õmmelda ning juukseklambrile kinnitada. Kl 7 alustas loor reisi Tallinna ja jõudis kenasti kohale!   


This is made 6.40 am. Veil is 60cm long. 
See pilt on tehtud hommikul kl 6.40. Loori kogupikkus on 60 cm.


This is how it looks on a bride.
Nii nägi see pruudil välja. 
The happy couple.
Noorpaar.

New crcohet project - uus heegeldamise projekt

One lady asked me to make her this:
Üks kaunis daam palus endale sellise teha:

 I took her measurements and I can get to work! The sleeves will be tricky, because she is choir conductor and needs to move her hands...
Võtsin daami mõõdud ja saan tööle asuda. Varrukate lõige tuleb hästi läbi mõelda, sest koorijuhataha peab saama ka kätega vehkida...

Tulbisall - Tulip shawl

I got this new book where I got this tulip pattern. I am born in the beginning of May and at that time there are always plenty of tulips!
Uuesti HS raamatus nägin tulbi mustrit. Ma olen mai algul sündinud ning siis on neid tulpe juba omajagu!
Here is the shawl:
Siin on siis sall:
Shawl is 70cm wide and 166 cm long.
Sall on 70cm laiune ja 166cm pikkune. 


 It took a bit longer to make it, because there are lots of bobbles. But I love how it looks. It feels like my birthday is coming :)
Salli tegemine võttis tavapärasest natuke kauem, sest nupud on kuidagi siin--seal laiali pillutet`. Aga üldmulje mulle väga meeldib. Tundub, nagu kohe-kohe oleks mu sünnipäev :)
