Plavi štrikaton NS Needles - NS Needles blue KAL

Grupa NS Needles se dogovorila da će ove godine imati dva štrikatona, prvi od 1. januara do 30. juna, a drugi od 1. jula do kraja godine. Prvi štrikaton je za temu imao boju (dakle, pletete/heklate šta želite, ali na zadatu boju), dok će drugi imati za temu određeni odevni predmet, a boju po izboru. Glasale smo i izglasale plavo.

Ovo je moj doprinos:

 

U pitanju je mustra Sonnensegel dizajnerke Ulrike Altrogge, a možete je besplatno skinuti kao Ravelry download ovde. Autorka je zamislila da šal bude trouglast, ali se meni više dopala ideja da bude romboidnog oblika. A to mi je i dalo opravdanje da napravim dva pom-poma. Koristila sam predivo Troitsk Yarn Angora (rođendanski poklon od prijateljice iz Beograda), a tamnije predivo je Vlnap Geisha, poklon od Heklice.

U štrikatonu je učestvovalo ukupno 12 pletilja, a izradile smo 17 radova za sada. Ukoliko ste član Ravelry-ja, radove možete pogledati ovde.

 

Our knitting group NS Needles has decided to organize two KALs this year. The first began on January 1st and ends on June 30th, and the second one begins on July 1st and lasts until the end of the year. The theme of the first KAL was to knit/crochet any garment in a previously determinted colour, whereas during the second KAL the task is going to be to knit/crochet a specific garment in a colour of our choice. We voted and the topic colour for the first KAL was decided to be blue.

I have knitted a shawl called Sonnensegel by Ulrike Altrogge, the pattern can be downloaded as a free Ravelry pattern here. The author has designed the shawl to be triangular shaped, but I decided to make it in a shape of a rhombus, thus having a reason to make two pom-poms :)

I used two types of yarn that I got as presents from my knitter friends: the lighter is Troitsk Yarn Angora (from a friend in Belgrade) and the darker one is Vlnap Geisha Color, a gift from Heklica.

12 knitters took part in this KAL, having knitted 17 garments so far (you can see them here).

Can Can rukavice iliti umem i ja da ispletem rukavice - I can can knit a pair of mittens

Ovo su moje prve rukavice! Već dugo zavidim drugim pletiljama kako su se odvažile da pletu nešto tako komplikovano, ali nikako nisam imala hrabrosti da se i ja upustim u te vode. Međutim, došlo doba da se i to proba :)

 

Rukavice su namenjene mojoj prijateljici Neveni, mami Eminog najboljeg druga. Jesenas su se odselili u Irsku i mnogo nam nedostaju. Povremeno nam dođu u Novi Sad i te trenutke željno iščekujemo i Ema i ja. Osim toga što se uvek super ispričamo i uporedimo beleške, a klinci obnove svoje prijateljstvo, Nevena me uvek obraduje nečim fantastičnim - časopisima sa mustrama za pletenje. Na tome, kao i na predivnoj knjizi koju mi je prošli put poklonila, sam joj beskrajno zahvalna, jer, kao što je poznato, naše izdavaštvo se tom temom ne bavi. Ili se bavi na nivou iz 1983. godine.

 

Pošto je za rukavice zaista trebalo veoma malo prediva (manje od 50 grama Troitsk Moskvičke na iglama 2,5 mm), odlučila sam da ispletem i kapu. Za kapu je bilo potrebno nešto manje od 75 grama, na iglama 3,5 mm. Kapu sam radila tako što sam na Dropsovom sajtu (link je ovde) našla neku sličnog oblika koja mi se dopala, samo što sam mustru prilagodila pletenici sa rukavica. A mustru za rukavice možete naći ovde, autor je dizajnerka Erica Lomax, a mustra se zove CanCans.

 

 

These are my first mittens! For a long time I have sighed at the sight of my knitter friends embarking on this journey, not having the courage to try it out myself. But, the time has come :)

The mittens are a gift for a friend, Nevena, the mother of my daughter's best friend. Last September they moved to Ireland and we miss them dearly. They do come to Novi Sad from time to time, and both my daughter and me very much look forward to these meetings. Not only do we catch up with the chit-chat and our kids get to spend a great time together, but Nevena always surprises me with fantastic presents - knitting magazines! For that, and the lovely book she brought for me last time, I am so grateful, since the publishing business in Serbia does not have an ear for knitters. At least not since 1983 :(

 

The mittens required a surprisingly small amount of Troitsk Moscow Chic Yarn (less than 50 grams using 2,5 mm needles), so I decided to knit a hat, too. I needed less than 75 grams of the same yarn for the hat (using 3,5 mm needles). I knitted the hat using a pattern of a similar one found on the Drops Garnstudio site (link here), I just adjusted for the cable from the original mittens pattern (which you can find here). The designer's name is Erica Lomax and the pattern is called CanCans.
