Uus kraam, uus armastus

Ma olen armunud oma Harmony uutesse vahetavatesse ringvarrastesse: siledad aga mitte libedad, kerged ja soojad, ka juhe? tundub liikuvam, pehmem (aga eks seda näitab aeg, mis kvaliteediga tegu) ja puuosa muster on vahva. Vaat nii:

I am madly in love with my new Harmony needles: they are amazing, smooth but not slippery, light and warm, the cable is (it seems right now) better than the Addi cable and the fun colors making working quicker.
Look at them, gorgeous:

Üllatus, üllatus. Loomulikult tellisin ma endale ka uut lõnga - Knit Picks Shimmer Galaxy toonis:

I also, surprise surprise, enhanced my stash with some

ja Knit Picks Gloss Cosmos:

millest saab Salapärase Valguse õlasall:

which I'm currently making up as the Mystic Light KAL (I know I'm late, was waiting for the yarn)

Mystic Light KAL clue 2
Selle kudumine läheb vaevalisemalt, mul on mustriga pidevalt mingisugused imelikud vastuolud sest tegu ei ole 100% sümmeetrilise mustriga, kahandused-kasvatused vahel ei tundu olevat õigeid kohtades: nagu oleks autor võtnud lahti mustriraamatud ja pimesi kokku keeranud kompoti siit ja sealt, märkamat, et silmuste arv tihti ei klapi korralikult ja muster ei kasva alati elemisest välja või ei sobi kokku. Aga ometi mulle lõpp-tulemus meeldib. Eks näis.

I'm not too happy with myself and the pattern working together: my Virgo personality likes clear understanding of where the pattern is going, pattern repeats that match from the beginning to the end and very certain pattern changes. I don't blame the pattern, I blame myself of not being able to count and follow pattern row by row. Plus I do not know how I could have read instead of sl1k2togpsso (slip 1- knit 2 together - pass slipped stitch over) as s2kwk1psso (slip 2 knitwise - knit 1 - pass slipped stitches over) - so my diamonds have a little unusual look and then in the middle of the work change their appearance :P But I really like the finished shawl I've seen online.

Knitpicks.com saadab / Package from Knitpicks

Singapuri kolimine on mu lõngamaailma taaskord avardanud. Varemalt oli ülemere tellimustega alati mingi tõrge ees - kas olid liiga kõrged saatekulud või üldse üle ookeani pakke ei teele ei pandud. vPosti (rendivad sulle tasu eest postkasti Ameerikas ning kogu selle sisu saadavad edasi otse koju) ning teiste šoppajatega kahasse on minuni jõudnud juba teine saadetis, seekord siis knitpicks.com'ist. Knit Picks Bare Peruvian Highland Wool - 4 vihti ning...

Moving to Singapore has opened my yarn-related world even more than before. Mainly because I can participate in overseas online yarn sprees. Before I simply didn't order because of the sites not selling overseas or the price for shipping was too high. Now I share the shipping fee with other participants and vPost helps out with overseas shipping (one of my knitting friends here has an address in US thanks to that service).
This time we went berserk on knitpicks.com. I got Knit Picks Bare Peruvian Highland Wool Fingering Weight - 4 hundred-gram skeins.

3 vihti sama lõnga jämedamalt suvisteks värvimisihadeks.
3 skeins of the same yarn in Worsted weight and

Lisaks kaks vihti beebi alpaka-siidi segu Shimmerit millekski ilusaks endale. Või lihtsalt nunnutamiseks.

2 skeins of Knit Picks Shimmer in Turquoise Splendor.

I am pretty sure it's not going to be the last one, and neither is the next one far along the road.

Lõnganäitus vol 2 / Stash flash 2

Aeg tänavuseks lõngakuhja liputamiseks, see peaks olema nii enesekontrolli kasvatav üritus. Eelmise aasta loot'i näeb siit. Sügisel 2007 andsin 4 kilo ära, nüüdseks seda taaskord kasvatanud paari kilo võrra. Lootusetu.

As a method of self-control in buying new yarns (hahahahahahahaha) I recorded all skeins I have at home at this moment. In autumn 2007 I gave away 4 kilos of yarn, now it it has grown by a few more kilograms. Hopeless.

Käesoleva aasta eeliseks on uus voodi, mis peidab enda sisse ikka päris palju lõnga:

I have cleverly hidden my stash here:

Find my treasure!

Mul on ca 10 kilo lõnga, ning sain valmis täieliku nimekirja (alustuseks tõmbasin Ravelry'i stashi leheküljelt oma nimekirja Exceli failina alla (super!) ja siis täiendasin. Nimekirja näeb siit.

I have a total of app. 10 kilos of yarn and the full list can be found here.

See kõik on minu voodis. Voodi sees. Aga lisaks on mul elutoas punutud korv peibutuslõngadega - nende ülesandeks on põhikuhja peitmine... see tähendab, et mu abikaasa arvaks, et see ongi kogu mu kuhil, ning voodi all hoian ma ainult tekke ja lisapatju ja linu ja kamspuneid ja sokke ja kindaid (vaat neid ma hoian igalpool mujal kappides). Ta vist on unustaud selle väärt peidukoha olemasolu, või kui mäletab, siis ma ei usu, et ta suudab selle lahti teha ilma minu suunamiseta.

This is just the stash inside my bed. I also have a basket in the living-room and that is the camouflage stash - if my significant other would ever realize I have yarn in other places as well, he would so go berserk. Luckily he seems to have forgotten that you can open the bed, and would most probably fail to open it without first giving up

My stash in the bed.

Elutoas olev kogu on selline. Ülejäägid viimastest projektidest, materjal käesolevateks, lisaks jubinaid lõngu, et proovilappe kududa.

This is my stash in the living room - leftovers of latest FOs, materials for current projects or wool for swatching when I find nice stitch patterns.

Mida Sina peidad ja kus?

So what are you hiding and where?
