Kaks kampsunit / Two cardigans

Nende kahe nii pikaaegne valmimine seisis puhtalt nööpide/kinniste taga. Mulle teadaolevast kohalikust kaubandusvõrgust ei leidnud midagi kõlblikku, seega ootas Tangled Yoke ainult viimast nööbiliistu rohkem kui neli kuud.

The two cardigans have been in such a long making for the mere reason of lack of buttons. From local haberdashery shops I know of (there are not so many, what a pity), I couldn't find anything remotely suitable.

Tangled yoke hakkas mulle meeldima sel samal korral, kui ajakirja numbrt käes hoidsin, mul oli peaaegu olemas ka lõng selle tarbeks, 6 kera Jaeger Luxury Tweed'i, mis juba siis oli tootmisest maha võetud. Arvutasin küll kõigest väest, aga vajalikku metraaži kokku ei saanud, puudu jäi täpselt pool kera. Seega ma vardaid lõnga ei löönud ja jätsin mõttepoja seedima. Sel kevadel surfasin parajasti Ravelry's, kui leidsin ühe daami Euroopast, kes enda 10t kerakest müügiks pakkus. Saimegi kohe kaubale mõitsliku hinnaga ja aprillis lõin silmad varrastele.

I instantly took to Tangled Yoke when I first noticed it in Interweave Knits. I also felt it would look fab in Jaeger Luxury Tweed, which I had in stash, but was already discontinued back then. I only had 6 skeins, so I did my maths and figured out, I would need a minimum 6,5 skeins. I tried to find some more, but to no avail so I did not cast on. This Spring I was surfing Ravelry, when I found a lady from Europe who was selling her 10 skeins. I contacted her and we made a deal. So in April I cast on for the cardigan.

Roheline kampsik, ei oleks üldse pidanud kampsun olema. Algselt pidi sellest lõngast saama mu meheõe pojakesele tekk. Tellisin lõnga kohale Dubai sõsarlõngapoest, jäin ootama kõnet paki saabumisest, aga seda ei tulnudki. Nädal hiljem hakkasin oma lõnga taga otsima, käisin poes, helistasin Dubai poodi, kust olevat lõng juba ammu ära saadetud, lõpuks helistasin otse juhatajale, kes müsteeriasse valgust tõi. Abu Dhabi "sõbralik" müüjaskond oli mu lõnga kellelegi teisele ära müünud, hoolimata kotile kirjutatud minu nimest ja telefoninumbrist. Nii et tekike sai hoopis teisest lõngast.

The green cardigan was not supposed to be a cardigan at all. It was supposed to become a blanket for my nephew born in July. I ordered the yarn from Dubai, to be sent to Abu Dhabi branch. I was waiting for the call from the shop for a week and then went on to inquire about the fate of my yarn. After a visit to the shop, where no one had never heard of a yarn order and a call to Jackie, our yarn person in Dubai, we found out that the package had arrived and then had been sold off to someone else. It was for the better though, because I cast on blanket in another yarn and it came out beautiful. This green yarn turned into a Mondo Cable Cardi .
