Circular Shrug with Kid Silk Haze in shade Blackcurrant (the photo shows the colour incorrectly, it's not as purple as this but rather a deep burgundy) |
Nuttu oli hyvä matkaneule: kevyt kuljettaa ja helppotekoista kuin mikä. Ainoa ongelma oli langan väri. Tumma mustaherukan sävy imee kaiken valon, ja jos ei ollut tarkkana, 1o, 1n -pohjainen puolipatentti tuppasi menemään vähän väliä pois rytmistä.
The shrug was a really good on-the-road project: very light to carry and really easy to work on. The only problem came with the shade of the colour. The dark blackcurrant colour doesn't reflect any light, so I needed to be really careful not to mess up with the stitches even though the pattern is a simple k1p1 based mock ribbing.
Saa nähdä, mitä tästä tulee, oletettavasti kuitenkin jonkinlainen kepeä villatakki yöpaidan topin päällä pidettäväksi. Malli on mielenkiintoinen, taiteltava hässäkkä. Lankaa on yhteensä 3 kerää, 1,5 kerää on nyt käytetty, ja haluan nuttuun myös hihat. Toivottavasti lanka riittää.
Let's see what this project will turn into. I'm aiming at getting a light, soft and airy sort of a cardigan to be worn over the tank top of my pajamas. The pattern is interesting as it's basically a rectangular that will be folded into a garment. I have 3 balls of Kid Silk Haze, and a half has been already used, and I want to make sleeves as well. I just hope not to run out of yarn.
Westfield London interior |
London was wonderful as always. The spring had already arrived there, the first spring flowers were blooming and the birds were singing which cheered me up a lot. I didn't have time to do any shopping, but on the way to our London home, we popped in the vast Westfield mega mall to grab some new books. Unfortunately, Foyles bookstore doesn't sell any magazines, and the WHSmith shop at Heathrow Terminal 3 doesn't carry any knitting magazines, so I had to leave that for the next visit. And believe it or not, Westfield does not have a single yarn shop! This time, however, my job was to be a good, supportive and encouraging mother rather than an efficient knitter-shopper. In terms of how the university reflected on my child's cv and portfolio, we were sure that there'll be plenty of opportunities for me to cover that area in London in the future.
