Aika on riittänyt hienosti neulomiseen, mutta ei neulomisesta kirjoittamiseen. Luulen, että tämä on ainoa hetki ennen joulun lähestymistä, kun aikaa on myös kirjoittamiseen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sometimes I just feel that&amp;nbsp;I don't have time to do everything. I have had a lot of time to knit, but not any time to write about that. I think that this is the only moment before the Christmas when I have little time to write. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Olen saanut valmiiksi muutaman neuleen, molemmat niistä ovat nuorimmalle tytölleni. Ennen joululahjoja, onkin vuorossa neuleliivin tekeminen vanhemmalle tytölle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I have finished couple&amp;nbsp; projects and all of those are for my younger child. The older gets her vest before I start to make the Christmas presents.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Malli/&lt;em&gt;Pattern&lt;/em&gt;:&amp;nbsp;Coniston by Anna Elliot (available from &lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/"&gt;Ravelry&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Lanka/&lt;em&gt;Yarn&lt;/em&gt;: Adriafil Globe Uni &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Puikot/&lt;em&gt;Needles&lt;/em&gt;: 4.0 mm&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Langan kulutus/&lt;em&gt;Yarn consumption&lt;/em&gt;: 500 g&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-d1VlqscJ-xE/Tr7dS2GjlXI/AAAAAAAAARs/P9Fh7NWdsLY/s1600/coniston_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" nda="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-d1VlqscJ-xE/Tr7dS2GjlXI/AAAAAAAAARs/P9Fh7NWdsLY/s320/coniston_2.jpg" width="274" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Jätin alkuperäisohjeen hupun kiinnittämättä. Minusta tämä pusero toimii hyvin myös ilman huppua. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I left out the hood that was in the original pattern. This works very well without the hood.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malli/Pattern:&amp;nbsp;Demetra by Sara Elizabeth Schmidt&amp;nbsp;(available from &lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/"&gt;Ravelry&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;Lanka/Yarn: Adriafil Globe Uni &lt;br /&gt;Puikot/Needles: 4.0 mm&lt;br /&gt;Langan kulutus/Yarn consumption:&amp;nbsp;350 g&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vjug6JqEgUU/Tr7dV7H8NoI/AAAAAAAAAR0/wO4eLx3Q0LY/s1600/demera_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" nda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vjug6JqEgUU/Tr7dV7H8NoI/AAAAAAAAAR0/wO4eLx3Q0LY/s320/demera_2.jpg" width="239" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tämä oli nopea ja helppo neuloa. Jouduin tosin tekemään ison koon, koska lanka oli ohuempaa kuin ohjeessa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;This was a quick and easy project to knit. I had to knit very large size, because the yarn I used was lighter than in the pattern.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2584743127212303571-8622528537172395936?l=apupuikko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/feeds/8622528537172395936/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2011/11/lisaa-puseroitamore-sweaters.html#comment-form' title='1 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/8622528537172395936'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/8622528537172395936'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2011/11/lisaa-puseroitamore-sweaters.html' title='Lisää puseroita/More sweaters'/><author><name>Loru</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09202726470603314978</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-d1VlqscJ-xE/Tr7dS2GjlXI/AAAAAAAAARs/P9Fh7NWdsLY/s72-c/coniston_2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584743127212303571.post-1928935682863173163</id><published>2011-06-25T17:25:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2011-06-25T17:25:12.195+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='baby cardigan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sweater'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='stripey cardigan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='queen bess'/><title type='text'>Pikkuisia takkeja/Tiny jackets</title><content type='html'>Aina on aikaa neulomiselle ja varsinkin kun on kyseessä ihan ensimmäisen neulepaidan tekemisestä. Pienien puseroiden ja takkien neulominen on ihanan nopeata.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;There is always time for knitting, especially for the very first cardigan for&amp;nbsp;a tiny baby. Knitting tiny cardigans and sweaters is always interesting and what is most important, they are very fast to make.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ensimmäisenä sain valmiiksi Anna Elliotin suunnitteleman neulepuseron. Malli oli Ravelryssä testineulonnassa ja pääsin osallistumaan sen kokeiluun. Tein 6-12 kk ikäisten puseron. Valitettavasti juuri nyt ei ole ketään, jolle tämän voisi antaa, mutta ei se mitään haittaa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;First I finsished the cardigan designed by Anna Ellliot. This pattern was on the test knitting&amp;nbsp;phase in&amp;nbsp;Ravelry. I made the size for 6-12 months. I love the pattern, but unfortunately at the moment, I don't have anybody to whom I could give this cardigan, but it doesn't matter.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malli/Pattern: Baby Queen Bess by Anna Elliot&lt;br /&gt;Puikot/Needles: 3.5 mm&lt;br /&gt;Lanka/Yarn: &lt;a href="http://www.adriafil.com/it/index.html"&gt;Adriafil Regina&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Langankulutus/Yarn comsupmtion: 411 g&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5Y_y4wrbZoo/TgXsN83uPiI/AAAAAAAAARU/e9Gq_m8brFQ/s1600/baby+queen+bess+finished.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="270" i$="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5Y_y4wrbZoo/TgXsN83uPiI/AAAAAAAAARU/e9Gq_m8brFQ/s320/baby+queen+bess+finished.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seuraavaksi kokeiluun pääsi Fawn Pean jämälankatakki. Malli on ihana, mutta langan värit olisivat saaneet poiketa toisistaan hieman enemmän. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Next I tried the Scrappy Socky Stripey Cardigan designed by Fawn Pea. This is a perfect project to use the all left over yarns from socks or other knitting projects. The pattern is lovely, but I wish I have had better colored yarns for this one.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malli/Pattern: &lt;a href="http://fpea.blogspot.com/2009/02/free-pattern-friday-scrappy-socky.html"&gt;Scrappy Socky Stripey Cardigan by Fawn Pea&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Puikot/Needles: 3.5 mm&lt;br /&gt;Lanka/Yarn: &lt;a href="http://www.adriafil.com/it/index.html"&gt;Adrialfil Cheope&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Langankulutus/Yarn comsupmtion: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VjGaFm2k5ow/TgXtG1-xXqI/AAAAAAAAARY/LQIQA6ZwR-A/s1600/stripey+jacket.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="258" i$="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VjGaFm2k5ow/TgXtG1-xXqI/AAAAAAAAARY/LQIQA6ZwR-A/s320/stripey+jacket.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Ja seuraavaksi voisi tehdä jo jotakin itselle. Ainakin villasukkalankoja on kertynyt varastoon runsaasti...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;And next I could knit something for myself.

Nyt on uusi vuosi ja sen voi aloittaa vaikka muistelemalla, mitä sain neulottua valmiiksi loka-ja joulukuun välillä.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The end of last year went fast when I concentrated on finishing the Christmas presents. I didn't have time to update my blog. Now it is a new year and it can be started by remembering what I managed to knit between the October and Christmas.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ja mitäs tuli tehtyä? &lt;em&gt;And what did I knit?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Valmiiksi tuli yllätysjakku pienelle pojalle. Tämä oli varsin mielenkiintoinen projekti ja teen vielä toisen tällaisen myöhemmin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I finished a surprice jacket to one little boy. This was a interesting project and I would like to knit another BSJ later.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malli/Pattern: &lt;a href="http://www.knitting-and.com/wiki/Baby_Surprise_Jacket"&gt;Baby Surprise Jacket by Elizabeth Zimmermann&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Puikot/Needles: 4.0 mm&lt;br /&gt;Lanka/Yarn: &lt;a href="http://www.lappajarvenvarjaamo.fi/"&gt;Filona from Lappajärven värjäämö&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Langankulutus/Yarn consumption: 130 g&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TSXlJskZvCI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/yEZ4_HO-aFw/s1600/BJS+finished.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" n4="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TSXlJskZvCI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/yEZ4_HO-aFw/s320/BJS+finished.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Sitten neuloin pipon ja huivin ystävälle. Värit olivat niin makeat, että olisin voinut tehdä nämä myös itselle. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Then I finished a hat and a scarf to my friend. The colors are so beautiful that I could use these myself.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Hattu/Hat &lt;br /&gt;Malli/Pattern:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEfall07/PATTfoliage.html"&gt;Foliage by Emilee Mooney&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Puikot/Needles: 4.0 mm&lt;br /&gt;Lanka/Yarn: Wendy Fusion&lt;br /&gt;Langankulutus/Yarn consumption: 50 g&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TSXoVQat1wI/AAAAAAAAAQY/EiKvwSCQpcY/s1600/foliage+scarf_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" n4="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TSXoVQat1wI/AAAAAAAAAQY/EiKvwSCQpcY/s320/foliage+scarf_1.jpg" width="273" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Halusin tehdä lehtikuviota myös huiviin ja löysin ohjeen Neulojan käsikirjasta (Lesley Stanfield ja Melody Griffiths).

This time I used pure bamboo yarn. I hope that the bamboo dishloths are working as good as those knitted from cotton yarn.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TSXweMIrkeI/AAAAAAAAAQs/Lq7SVo8Bn6c/s1600/tulip+lace+discloth.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" n4="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TSXweMIrkeI/AAAAAAAAAQs/Lq7SVo8Bn6c/s320/tulip+lace+discloth.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tiskirätti&lt;em&gt;/Dishcloth&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malli&lt;em&gt;/Pattern: &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://sites.google.com/site/love2knitdishcloths/home/dishclothindex-html/tulip-lace"&gt;Tulip lace dishcloth&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Puikot&lt;em&gt;/Needles: 4.0 mm&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lanka&lt;em&gt;/Yarn: Rowan RYC Bamboo Soft&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Langankulutus&lt;em&gt;/Yarn consumption:&amp;nbsp;30 g/dishcloth&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TSXwoGGdTpI/AAAAAAAAAQw/DgT2XJNV6Do/s1600/waffle+discloth.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" n4="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TSXwoGGdTpI/AAAAAAAAAQw/DgT2XJNV6Do/s320/waffle+discloth.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tiskirätti/Dishcloth&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malli/Pattern: &lt;a href="http://homespunliving.blogspot.com/2007/11/waffle-knit-dishcloth-pattern.html"&gt;Waffle dishcloth by Debbie Andriulli&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Puikot/Needles: 4.0 mm&lt;br /&gt;Lanka/Yarn: Rowan RYC Bamboo Soft&lt;br /&gt;Langankulutus/Yarn consumption: 30 g/dishcloth&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2584743127212303571-245013227319876710?l=apupuikko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/feeds/245013227319876710/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2011/01/mita-teinkaan-viime-vuoden-lopussawhat.html#comment-form' title='2 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/245013227319876710'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/245013227319876710'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2011/01/mita-teinkaan-viime-vuoden-lopussawhat.html' title='Mitä teinkään viime vuoden lopussa?/What did I knit at the end of last year?'/><author><name>Loru</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09202726470603314978</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TSXlJskZvCI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/yEZ4_HO-aFw/s72-c/BJS+finished.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584743127212303571.post-4259502019829952513</id><published>2010-10-02T21:07:00.003+03:00</published><updated>2010-10-02T21:15:23.725+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='barbievaatteet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='martin storey'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='barbie cloths'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cool vest'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='garter stitch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='silk scarf'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vest'/><title type='text'>Valmistuneita projekteja/Finished projects</title><content type='html'>Syyskuu meni niin tiiviisti neuloessa ja muissa harrastuksissa, etten edes ehtinyt kirjoitella blogiin. Tässä muutama juttu, jonka olen saanut valmiiksi tänä syksynä.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I have been so busy in knitting and doing all kinds of crafts that I have not had time to write to my blog.

Ensimmäisenä valmistui pienelle tytölle neuletakki bambu-villalangasta. Takki on jo matkannut kohti Ranskaa ja on toivottavasti pian perillä. Neuletakki tehtiin täysin ilman saumoja ja se valmistui varsin äkkiä. Seuraavaksi sain valmiiksi tiskirätin, joka lähti heti lahjaksi toiselle puolelle Suomea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TG2H10XWozI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/eUIhGWwcuBk/s1600/baby+eyelet+cardigan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="233" ox="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TG2H10XWozI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/eUIhGWwcuBk/s320/baby+eyelet+cardigan.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Vauvan neuletakki/&lt;em&gt;Baby eyelet cardigan&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Recently I have finished two very different projects. The first finished project was a small cardigan for a little baby girl from bamboo-wool yarn. The seamless cardigan was quite quick project. This jacket has already been sent to France and I hope it will arrive any day now.

Ensimmäiseksi kokeiluun valikoitu omena-aiheinen tiskirätti ja lankana käytin Bommix puuvilla-bambulankaa, jota oli jäänyt käyttämättä tyttöjen neuletakeista.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Finally I decided to try knitted dishcloths, because these patterns have become very popular and people have been happy with using them. First, I tried the Apple dishcloth and the yarn I used was cotton-bamboo yarn. The yarn was a left over yarn from the cardigans I knitted for my kids earlier this summer.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TFVVQXuQj2I/AAAAAAAAAOI/S01TPWf2xps/s1600/discloth+apple.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" bx="true" height="277" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TFVVQXuQj2I/AAAAAAAAAOI/S01TPWf2xps/s320/discloth+apple.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Omenatiskirätti/Apple Dishcloth&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Toisen tiskirätin tein valkoisesta puuvillalangasta ja mallina oli kiinalainen aalto. Mielestäni tämä malli sopii erinomaisesti tiskirätille, sillä nostettujen silmukoiden ja tavallisten oikeiden silmukoiden yhdistelmä tuottaa hieman paksumman neuleen kuin pelkät oikeat silmukat. Suosittelen!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The second dishcloth made was from 100 % cotton yarn and the pattern was Chinese Waves. I think that this pattern is perfect for the dishclothes because the garter stitches and the slipped stitches form a thicker discloth than a plain garter stitch. I strongly recommend this pattern!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TFVVHhBr7AI/AAAAAAAAAOA/XaLKRXL7hOI/s1600/discloth+chinese+waves.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" bx="true" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TFVVHhBr7AI/AAAAAAAAAOA/XaLKRXL7hOI/s320/discloth+chinese+waves.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Kiinalaiset aallot tiskirätti/ Chinese Waves dishcloth&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Projektitiedot/Project data: Tiskirätti/Dishcloth&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Malli/Pattern: &lt;a href="http://www.maggiesrags.com/freedishcloth.htm"&gt;Chinese waves&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;by Margaret K.

Sen jälkeen heidän äitinsä ei saanut hetkeäkään rauhaa ennen kuin uudet prinsessapuvut olivat valmiit. Vanhempi prinsessa halusi pinkin puvun ja nuorempi lilan. Näin tehtiin ja kun puvut viimein valmistuivat leikkivät prinsessat tyytyväisinä kotitalonsa puutarhassa. Myös äiti oli tyytyväinen ansaittuun lepohetkeen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Once upon a time there were two princesses that loved beautiful dresses and everything that glitters. One day they found a Princess book of Lénee Grue and Line Watt (Danish, also availabe in Finnish and Swedish). After that day, their mother didn't get much sleep&amp;nbsp;until the new princess dresses were ready. The older princess wanted to have a pink dress and the younger wanted to have a purple dress. So, everything was decided and planned. Finally, when the dresses were ready both princesses played happily in the garden&amp;nbsp; and they mother was happy to have a little pause to the sewing.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TFLRZHjhEzI/AAAAAAAAAN4/eLCzJy7irgA/s1600/prinsessat_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" bx="true" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TFLRZHjhEzI/AAAAAAAAAN4/eLCzJy7irgA/s320/prinsessat_2.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Projektitiedot&lt;em&gt;/Project data&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malli&lt;em&gt;/Pattern:&lt;/em&gt; Prinsessakirja, Lénee Grue, Line Watt&lt;br /&gt;Kankaat/&lt;em&gt;Fabrics: &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eurokangas.fi/"&gt;Eurokangas&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Koristeet&lt;em&gt;/Embellishments:&lt;/em&gt; Karjalan Ompelukone/Local craft shop&lt;br /&gt;Diadeemit&lt;em&gt;/Diadems:&lt;/em&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.br-lelut.fi/"&gt;BR Lelut&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tekoaika/&lt;em&gt;Time consumed in making: &lt;/em&gt;10 tuntia/hame, 10 h/dress&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2584743127212303571-7000605836027664316?l=apupuikko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/feeds/7000605836027664316/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2010/07/olipa-kerran-kaksi-prinsessaaonce-upon.html#comment-form' title='0 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/7000605836027664316'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/7000605836027664316'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2010/07/olipa-kerran-kaksi-prinsessaaonce-upon.html' title='Olipa kerran kaksi prinsessaa/Once upon a time there were two princesses'/><author><name>Loru</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09202726470603314978</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TFLRZHjhEzI/AAAAAAAAAN4/eLCzJy7irgA/s72-c/prinsessat_2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584743127212303571.post-5481662560525414970</id><published>2010-07-18T23:14:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2010-07-18T23:14:17.526+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TiiQ'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='starry'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tähdellinen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hattu'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cupcake hat'/><title type='text'>Tähdellinen hattu/Starry hat</title><content type='html'>Aina ei vain jaksa neuloa isoja juttuja vaan ihan vain pieniä ja nopeita töitä.

Next I need to knit another hat like this to my youngest daughter.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I found a perfect crocheted butterfly pattern from Lesley Stanfield's book 100 flowers to knit and crochet.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TENffpZWuvI/AAAAAAAAANw/YVbUy8SF-I4/s1600/t%C3%A4hdellinen_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="282" hw="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TENffpZWuvI/AAAAAAAAANw/YVbUy8SF-I4/s320/t%C3%A4hdellinen_2.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Projektitiedot&lt;em&gt;/Project data&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malli&lt;em&gt;/Pattern:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://tiiq.vuodatus.net/page/tahdellinen"&gt;Tähdellinen/&lt;em&gt;starry&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;by TiiQ, English version available in &lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/"&gt;Ravelry&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Puikot&lt;em&gt;/Needles:&lt;/em&gt;3,5 mm&lt;br /&gt;Lanka&lt;em&gt;/Yarn:&lt;/em&gt; Hjerte Garn, Bommix Bamboo&lt;br /&gt;Langankulutus&lt;em&gt;/Yarn comsumption:&lt;/em&gt; 50 g&lt;br /&gt;Koriste&lt;em&gt;/Embellishment:&lt;/em&gt; Lesley Stanfieldin Anna kaikkien kukkien kukkia, 100 hauskaa virkkaus- ja neulontaohjetta/Lesley Stanfield's 100 flowers to knit and crochet,&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2584743127212303571-5481662560525414970?l=apupuikko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/feeds/5481662560525414970/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2010/07/tahdellinen-hattustarry-hat.html#comment-form' title='3 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/5481662560525414970'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/5481662560525414970'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2010/07/tahdellinen-hattustarry-hat.html' title='Tähdellinen hattu/Starry hat'/><author><name>Loru</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09202726470603314978</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TENfTZPcM0I/AAAAAAAAANo/7JCug7lauE8/s72-c/t%C3%A4hdellinen_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584743127212303571.post-4253179847284265313</id><published>2010-07-07T23:33:00.002+03:00</published><updated>2010-07-07T23:34:51.784+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kesätoppi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tropical lily'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gergie Hallam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='katia bombay'/><title type='text'>Tää on liian lyhyt/This is too short</title><content type='html'>Sain juuri valmiiksi toisen topin ja olin innoissani, että nyt molemmat tytöt saavat pitää samanlaisia kesätoppeja. Nuorin tyttöni veti topin päällensä, katsoi sen helmaa sekunnin&amp;nbsp;ja sanoi "En pidä tätä. Tää on liian lyhyt." Se oli kyllä palkitseva hetki. Joitakin neuleita lapset tuskin malttavat odottaa, että ne valmistuisivat ja joidenkin kohdalla sitten käy näin. Toisaalta, tämä saattaa olla jonkun sukukaistytön toivetoppi, joten en ole vielä menettänyt toivoani. Kyllä tällekin neuleelle käyttäjä löytyy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TDTjsRDKb4I/AAAAAAAAANY/1X81ygjaGn0/s1600/tropical+lily+II+front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="258" rw="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TDTjsRDKb4I/AAAAAAAAANY/1X81ygjaGn0/s320/tropical+lily+II+front.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I just finished the second tropical lily top. I was very eager to see both of my girls with identical summer tops, but I was too hasty. My youngest girl tried the top, looked the hem of the top for a second and said " I don't wear this. This is too short." That was a rewarding moment for me. I have noticed that there are knits that my girls just can't wait to wear and then there are knits that will never become the favorite cloth. Then, this top could be somebody's dream. So, I have not lost my hope yet and I think that one day a little girl is going to have a wonderful summer cloth.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TDTj8IkKOcI/AAAAAAAAANg/x2vdwZT1i2U/s1600/tropical+lily+II+back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="267" rw="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TDTj8IkKOcI/AAAAAAAAANg/x2vdwZT1i2U/s320/tropical+lily+II+back.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Projektitiedot/&lt;em&gt;Project data&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malli/&lt;em&gt;Pattern&lt;/em&gt;: Tropical Lily, Georgie Hallam&lt;br /&gt;Puikot/&lt;em&gt;Needles&lt;/em&gt;: 3,5 mm&lt;br /&gt;Lanka/&lt;em&gt;Yarn&lt;/em&gt;: Katia Bombay&lt;br /&gt;Langankulutus/&lt;em&gt;Yarn consumption&lt;/em&gt;: 130 g&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2584743127212303571-4253179847284265313?l=apupuikko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/feeds/4253179847284265313/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2010/07/taa-on-liian-lyhytthis-is-too-short.html#comment-form' title='1 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/4253179847284265313'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/4253179847284265313'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2010/07/taa-on-liian-lyhytthis-is-too-short.html' title='Tää on liian lyhyt/This is too short'/><author><name>Loru</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09202726470603314978</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TDTjsRDKb4I/AAAAAAAAANY/1X81ygjaGn0/s72-c/tropical+lily+II+front.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584743127212303571.post-3939959061628821881</id><published>2010-06-18T15:23:00.002+03:00</published><updated>2010-06-18T15:26:28.971+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kesätoppi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lastenvaate'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tropical lily'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='toppi'/><title type='text'>Yksi toppi valmiina, toinen puikoilla/One top ready, second on the needles</title><content type='html'>Sain pari päivää sitten valmiiksi kesätopin vanhemmalle tytölleni ja siitä tuli niin ihana, että päätin heti aloittaa toisen topin tekemisen nuoremmalle tytölleni.

Ei siis lainkaan hassumpaa kesätopille.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lanka on puhdasta puuvillaa, joten varsinkin kiinnitysnauhoihin piti jättää kunnolla venymisvaraa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I finished couples of days ago a summer top for my oldest daughter. It came out so lovely that I instantly decided to knit second top to my youngest daughter. The yarn and the pattern bring warm summer days, ice cream and butterflies to my mind. Not bad for a summer top.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The yarn is 100 % cotton, so I had to take into account that especially the straps are going to stretch a lot.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Projektitiedot/&lt;em&gt;Project data&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malli/&lt;em&gt;Pattern: Tropical Lily, Georgie Hallam&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Puikot/&lt;em&gt;Needles&lt;/em&gt;: 3,5 mm&lt;br /&gt;Lanka/&lt;em&gt;Yarn&lt;/em&gt;: Katia Bombay&lt;br /&gt;Langankulutus/&lt;em&gt;Yarn consumption&lt;/em&gt;: 170 g&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TBtk4QCs00I/AAAAAAAAANI/_q7OggaTIgM/s1600/tropical+top+I+front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" qu="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TBtk4QCs00I/AAAAAAAAANI/_q7OggaTIgM/s320/tropical+top+I+front.jpg" width="266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Tehdyt muutokset/&lt;em&gt;Modifications made:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Nauhat: Käytin olkainten tekemiseen 7 silmukkaa, olkainten pituus 30 cm&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Straps: I used 7 stitches, 30 cm long (I have not calculated the rows made)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yläosan muotoilu: Tein aina kavennuskierrosten väliin 3 kierrosta sileää neulosta, jotta yläosasta tulisi näin ohkaisella langalla hieman pidempi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Shaping of the bodice: I made extra 3 rows (1 purl row, 1 knit row and 1 purl row) between the decrease rows in order to get more length to the bodice.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TBtlD7prmbI/AAAAAAAAANQ/z5qMW-QyZio/s1600/tropical+top+I+back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" qu="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TBtlD7prmbI/AAAAAAAAANQ/z5qMW-QyZio/s320/tropical+top+I+back.jpg" width="266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2584743127212303571-3939959061628821881?l=apupuikko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/feeds/3939959061628821881/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2010/06/yksi-toppi-valmiina-toinen-puikoillaone.html#comment-form' title='0 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/3939959061628821881'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/3939959061628821881'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2010/06/yksi-toppi-valmiina-toinen-puikoillaone.html' title='Yksi toppi valmiina, toinen puikoilla/One top ready, second on the needles'/><author><name>Loru</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09202726470603314978</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/TBtk4QCs00I/AAAAAAAAANI/_q7OggaTIgM/s72-c/tropical+top+I+front.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584743127212303571.post-3888513875062231274</id><published>2010-06-07T23:05:00.002+03:00</published><updated>2010-06-07T23:08:31.294+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tank'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tropical lily'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='petal halter top'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='toppi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='katia bombay'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='beads'/><title type='text'>Helmiä ja trooppinen toppi/Beads and tropical top</title><content type='html'>Innostuin pitkästä aikaa helmikorujen tekemisestä.

Väritoivomus oli selvä pinkkiä tai vaaleanpunaista. Löysin jo aiemmin sopivan langan ja aloitin maaliskuun alussa pitsijakun neulomisen. En ollut aiemmin tehnyt raglanhihoja, mutta ohje oli varsin selkeä ja hihojen neulominen onnistui loistavasti. Ohje oli 100 cm kokoiselle ja jouduin tekemään jotakin muutoksia, koska tarvitsin koon 120 cm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;My oldest daughter has wished for a new cardigan for a very long time. The choice of the color was very clear: it had to be pink. I had already found the perfect yarn earlier, but at the beginning of March I had time to start this project. I have not knitted raglan sleeves before, but the pattern was very clear and I didn't have any problems to make the sleeves. The challenging point for me was that the pattern was for a 120 size child and I needed to knit 120 cm size for my daughter.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/S6-y1YAWrKI/AAAAAAAAAL4/aGBZk2kuCEc/s1600/sikuriina+ready.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 274px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453774303815707810" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/S6-y1YAWrKI/AAAAAAAAAL4/aGBZk2kuCEc/s320/sikuriina+ready.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malli/&lt;em&gt;Pattern&lt;/em&gt;: &lt;a href="http://www.ullaneule.net/0208/ohjeet_sikuriina.html"&gt;Sikuurina&lt;/a&gt; by Katja Kvintus&lt;br /&gt;Puikot/&lt;em&gt;Needles&lt;/em&gt;: 3,5 mm&lt;br /&gt;Lanka/&lt;em&gt;Yarn&lt;/em&gt;: Baby Cashmerino by Debbie Bliss&lt;br /&gt;Kulutus/&lt;em&gt;Consumption&lt;/em&gt;: 300 g&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tein seuraavat muutokset/I made following modifications:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Etu-ja takakpl&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- loin 168 s ja neuloin kunnes neuleen korkeus oli 32 cm.

Samanaikaisesti koetetaan neuloa jotakin valmista jo varastossa olevista langoista.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;I decided to participate to the "do not buy any new yarn"month. The purpose is that one should knit project from the yarn in stash and not to buy any new yarn.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Minulla ei vielä ole varastossa kuin kaksi laatikollista lankaa, mutta koin tarpeelliseksi osallistua tähän haasteeseen. Kaappitilaa kun tässä talossa ei ole kovin paljon, joten pienikin lankavarasto näkyy nyssyköinä nurkissa.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;At the moment, I have only two quite small boxes of yarn in stash, but I found it necessary to participate to this challenge. The main reason is that we don't have that much storage room in the house and even a small yarn stash is visible and usually in somebody's way.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sain valmiiksi ensimmäisen työn, joka on ladattavissa Ravely:sta. Tulos on aivan ihana ja näitä voisi tehdä enemmänkin, jos vain olisi pieniä tyttövauvoja, joille näitä lahjottaisi. Omat tytöt ovat jo hieman liian isopäisiä tähän hattuun.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;I finished my first project that can be downloaded from Ravelry. The hat is awesome and I could make more of these if only I had little baby girls who to knit the hats. Inofortunately my own girls are too old for this hat.&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/S5amwIm7niI/AAAAAAAAALo/y_dk-OCL-Ls/s1600-h/cupcake+hat2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 272px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446724145225899554" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/S5amwIm7niI/AAAAAAAAALo/y_dk-OCL-Ls/s320/cupcake+hat2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Malli/&lt;em&gt;Pattern&lt;/em&gt;: Cupcake hat, Alicia Lutz&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Puikot/&lt;em&gt;Needles&lt;/em&gt;: 4.0 mm&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lanka/&lt;em&gt;Yarn&lt;/em&gt;: Sirdar Snuggly Baby Bamboo DK&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Kulutus/&lt;em&gt;Consumption&lt;/em&gt;: 50 g&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Koska käsialani on löyhää ja käytin isompia helmiä kuin ohjeessa tein seuraavan muutokset ohjeeseen: Neuloin ne silmukat, joissa oli helmet, helmisen kiinnityskierroksen jälkeen oikein takareunasta.

I have always loved to finish my projects and make all the seams, but I have to admit that making of these booties changec my mind. Knitting without the seams makes sence.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Päätin myös katsoa jääkiekon loppuottelun Canada-USA ja sen aikana sain valmiiksi itselleni pipon.

Uutena tätinä halusin tehdä jotakin vauvalle ja löysin vanhasta Moda-lehdestä hyvän kaavan töppösille. Joskus on hyvä, että kaikki suunnitellut neuleet eivät valmistu, vaan joitakin lankoja jää varastoon. Tällä kertaa löysin kaapista Panda-lankaa, josta piti joskus tulla pipo, mutta nyt siitä tuli töppöset. Kaava ei ollut yksinkertaisimmasta päästä, kun yhdistettäviä kappaleita oli kolme per tossu, mutta lopputulos on ihan hyvä.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I became an aunt two months ago when my brother got his first child. As an new auntie I wanted to knit something for the baby and I found a good pattern from the old Moda magazine. I had also opportunity to check my stash and it seems that sometimes it is good that not every knitting project is going to be finished. For this project I used Panda yarn what was once bought for a hat, but now I used it for booties. The pattern was not the simpliest one, because one bootie consisted three parts, but the outcome looks good.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/S3ajNsqFcDI/AAAAAAAAAKc/imUaLjzkFEg/s1600-h/booties.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 274px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437713055817756722" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/S3ajNsqFcDI/AAAAAAAAAKc/imUaLjzkFEg/s320/booties.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kaava/&lt;em&gt;Pattern&lt;/em&gt;: Moda 6/2009&lt;br /&gt;Puikot/&lt;em&gt;Needles&lt;/em&gt;: 3,5&lt;br /&gt;Lanka/&lt;em&gt;Yarn&lt;/em&gt;: Panda, Kauhavan Kangas-Aitta&lt;br /&gt;Kulutus/&lt;em&gt;Consumption&lt;/em&gt;: 80 g&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lankavaraston lisäksi kotoa löytyy myös kangasvarasto. Tytöt pyysivät minulta pallohameita ja ryhdyin tekemään niitä eräänä lauantaina. Kaava on omasta päästä ja ehkä siksi kesti hetken ennen kuin tajusin, miten vuoritettu pallohame kasataan. Loppujen lopuksi pidin helpoimpana jättää koko vyötärö auki, kääntää hame oikeinpäin ja tehdä vasta viimeiseksi vyötärösauma. Vuoriosa on pari senttiä lyhkäisempi ja ehkä noin 20 kapeampi kuin pääliosa. Hameet ovat olleet jo kovassa käytössä ja nyt kun tiedän, miten nämä ommellaan niin ehkä saan kesäksi näitä muutamat tehtyä.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Besides the yarn stash I also have a fabric stash at home. Girls wanted to have new skirts and I found the facrics from my stash and on one saturday morning I started to sew them. The pattern is my own and maybe that is the reason why it took a while to figure out how the dress is made. Finally I decided to sew the waist seam last. The inner dress (lining) is 20 cm narrower and 3 cm shorter than the outer skirts. These skirts have been in used since the day I finished them. I think I will make more of these before next summer. At least now I know how to make this kind of skirts. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/S3ajdyoBn5I/AAAAAAAAAKk/cp1C2zHvc8A/s1600-h/hameet.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 224px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437713332297637778" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/S3ajdyoBn5I/AAAAAAAAAKk/cp1C2zHvc8A/s320/hameet.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2584743127212303571-6896539914680746048?l=apupuikko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/feeds/6896539914680746048/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2010/02/tadin-ensimmainen-lahjaaunts-first-gift.html#comment-form' title='0 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/6896539914680746048'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/6896539914680746048'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2010/02/tadin-ensimmainen-lahjaaunts-first-gift.html' title='Tädin ensimmäinen lahja/Aunt&apos;s first gift'/><author><name>Loru</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09202726470603314978</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/S3ajNsqFcDI/AAAAAAAAAKc/imUaLjzkFEg/s72-c/booties.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584743127212303571.post-1407010977133378330</id><published>2010-01-23T21:36:00.012+02:00</published><updated>2010-01-23T22:38:39.849+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='knitted'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tilda'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ottobre design'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='aran cabled shrug'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dress'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bolero'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mekko'/><title type='text'>Uusi vuosi ja uudet mekot/New Year and new dresses</title><content type='html'>Vuosi on vaihtunut ja aloitin sen ompelemalla tytöille liivimekot. Löysin &lt;a href="http://www.eurokangas.fi/"&gt;Eurokankaasta&lt;/a&gt; kuviollista samettia ja se sopi täydellisesti pienen tytön mekkoon. Mekon kaava on &lt;a href="http://www.ottobredesign.com/"&gt;Ottobre designin lehdestä Talvi 6/2007&lt;/a&gt;. Laitoin vuorin vain mekon yläosaan ja se toimi hyvin. Mekot ovat jo olleet ahkerassa käytössä.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The new year has started and I began it byt sewing dresses to my girls. I found the right fabric from local &lt;a href="http://www.eurokangas.fi/"&gt;Eurokangas&lt;/a&gt;. The pattern is from &lt;a href="http://www.ottobredesign.com/"&gt;Ottobre design magazine, Winter 6/2007&lt;/a&gt;. I put lining only to the upper part of the dress and it worked out well . The dresses have been in use since the day I finished them.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/S1tXbuoiqqI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/0Snb71o6T3I/s1600-h/hameet.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 258px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430029909611424418" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/S1tXbuoiqqI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/0Snb71o6T3I/s320/hameet.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Olen jo vannonut moneen kertaan, etten hurahda &lt;a href="http://www.tildasworld.com/"&gt;Tildailuun&lt;/a&gt;, mutta olihan sitä pakko kokeilla. Tein 6-vuotiaalle tytölle syntymäpäivälahjaksi "meikkipussin". Pussi oli nopea tehdä ja kankaat löytyivät varastosta. Ainoa haaste oli ymmärtää ohje, koska tein pussin tanskankielisestä kirjasta Tildas hus, kirjoittajana Tone Finnanger. Täytyy keksiä vielä, mitä ostaisin pussiin sisälle. Toivottavasti lahja kelpaa tytölle.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;I have many times said that I won't ever make &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tildasworld.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tilda&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; things, but I had to try it, at least once. I made a toilet bag for a birthday present for a 6 years old girl. The bag was quick and quite easy to make. The pattern was a little bit challenging, because it was written in Danish and I don't know the language at all. The pattern was from a book of Tone Finnanger. I just have to decide what to put inside the bag and then hope that the birthday girl likes the present.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/S1tYmJ5bZkI/AAAAAAAAAKE/ZIzM2WhLbSc/s1600-h/toilet+bag_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 282px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430031188240328258" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/S1tYmJ5bZkI/AAAAAAAAAKE/ZIzM2WhLbSc/s320/toilet+bag_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/S1tY8CQc51I/AAAAAAAAAKM/XUHZv4HcPwg/s1600-h/toilet+bag_2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 252px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430031564146534226" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/S1tY8CQc51I/AAAAAAAAAKM/XUHZv4HcPwg/s320/toilet+bag_2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sitten vielä jotakin neulottua. Aloitin joulua ennen neulomaan &lt;a href="http://www.straw.com/cpy/patterns2/kaya-aran-shrug.html"&gt;Crystal Palace Yarns:n ohjeella boleroa&lt;/a&gt;, eikä se vieläkään ole valmis. Näillä pakkasilla olisi mukava saada kietaistua juuri tälläinen bolero päällensä. Ehkä tästä vielä tulee valmista ennen helmikuun loppua.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Then something knitted. Before Christmas I started to knit &lt;a href="http://www.straw.com/cpy/patterns2/kaya-aran-shrug.html"&gt;a shrug from Crystal Palace Yarns &lt;/a&gt;and it is not yet ready. It would be very nice to wrap this shrug around myself when is is so cold outside at the moment, but I think it not might be true before February.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/S1tZOsqQYmI/AAAAAAAAAKU/mKKR3RRDauA/s1600-h/aran+cabled+shrug_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 317px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430031884766700130" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/S1tZOsqQYmI/AAAAAAAAAKU/mKKR3RRDauA/s320/aran+cabled+shrug_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2584743127212303571-1407010977133378330?l=apupuikko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/feeds/1407010977133378330/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2010/01/uusi-vuosi-ja-uudet-mekotnew-year-and.html#comment-form' title='1 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/1407010977133378330'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/1407010977133378330'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2010/01/uusi-vuosi-ja-uudet-mekotnew-year-and.html' title='Uusi vuosi ja uudet mekot/New Year and new dresses'/><author><name>Loru</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09202726470603314978</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/S1tXbuoiqqI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/0Snb71o6T3I/s72-c/hameet.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584743127212303571.post-5484152818629277320</id><published>2009-12-22T21:02:00.007+02:00</published><updated>2009-12-22T21:45:53.952+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tool roll'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='crumpet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='baskeri'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='manos del uruguay'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='työkalupussi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='silk blend'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='beret'/><title type='text'>Työkalupussi ja jotakin neulottua/Tool roll and something knitted</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/SzEfOc-YIQI/AAAAAAAAAJk/Sjo8Ko0S2DA/s1600-h/toolroll4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418146159859867906" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 180px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/SzEfOc-YIQI/AAAAAAAAAJk/Sjo8Ko0S2DA/s320/toolroll4.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Sain vielä yhden yhden käsityön valmiiksi ennen joulua. Tämä olikin sitten viimeinen. Tämän jälkeen pidän lomaa päivän, tai ainakin yhden illan. Tein miehen poranteriä varten suojapussin. Suojapussin malli on vanhan työkalukataloogin mainoksesta. Pussista tulee ihan mieleen puikkopussi, joka on toiminnaltaan ihan samanlainen. Hermot ja ompelukoneen moottori meinasivat loppua kun kangasta oli ommeltavana 4-kertaisesti ja päälle vielä kaksikertainen reunanauha. Valmista kuitenkin tuli.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/SzEfXM0g0NI/AAAAAAAAAJs/cvh7_I97AtA/s1600-h/toolroll5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418146310142349522" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 180px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/SzEfXM0g0NI/AAAAAAAAAJs/cvh7_I97AtA/s320/toolroll5.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;I managed to finish one more thing before Christmas. This will be the last one. After this project I won't do anything for a day, or at least for one evening. I made a tool roll for auger bits to my husband. The model is from an advertisement that was in the old tool catalogue. The roll reminds me of the knitting needle roll. The idea is the same. I almost lost my temper and ruined motor of my sewing machine when I tried to sew this thing: 4 layers of thick fabric and 2 layers of ribbon should have been sewn at the same time. Everything went well and the outcome looks nice.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En voinut olla neulomatta, joten aloitin baskerin tekemisen. Onpahan jotakin tekemistä joulunpyhiksi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;I couldn't be without knitting. So, I started to knit a beret. I will have something to do during the Christmas holiday.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/SzEhYCjl_yI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/BvLMkjnn_Gw/s1600-h/crumpet+beret_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418148523590156066" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 282px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/SzEhYCjl_yI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/BvLMkjnn_Gw/s320/crumpet+beret_1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Malli/Pattern: &lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/"&gt;Crumpet beret by Maura Kirk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lanka/Yarn: &lt;a href="http://www.secretwool.com/product_catalog.php?c=41"&gt;Manos del Uruguay Silk Blend&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Puikot/Needles: 3.5 mm&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2584743127212303571-5484152818629277320?l=apupuikko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/feeds/5484152818629277320/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2009/12/tyokalupussi-ja-jotakin-neulottuatool.html#comment-form' title='0 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/5484152818629277320'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/5484152818629277320'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2009/12/tyokalupussi-ja-jotakin-neulottuatool.html' title='Työkalupussi ja jotakin neulottua/Tool roll and something knitted'/><author><name>Loru</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09202726470603314978</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/SzEfOc-YIQI/AAAAAAAAAJk/Sjo8Ko0S2DA/s72-c/toolroll4.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584743127212303571.post-3291019264927762262</id><published>2009-12-15T22:35:00.018+02:00</published><updated>2009-12-15T23:47:39.492+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='star stashing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shopping bags'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='quilting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mökki tulitikuille'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='house for matches'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ostoskassi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='konttineule'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='entrelac'/><title type='text'>Joulupukin apulaisena/A helping hand for Santa Claus</title><content type='html'>Olen viime aikoina toiminut joulupukin apulaisena ja saanut valmiiksi yhtä sun toista jouluksi. Olen antanut neulontataitojen levätä ja tehnyt hieman muitakin käsitöitä. Sain valmiiksi kaulahuivin, pari taloa tulitikuille, tilkkupeiton ja pari ostoskassia. Kaikkien näiden töiden jälkeen mielessä on jo monta neulomista odottavaa projektia. Lankoja oli onneksi varastossa, joten seuraavaksi aloitan Crystal Palace Yarns:n boleron tekemisen (&lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/"&gt;Malli Ravelrystä&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Lately I have been a helping hand for Santa Claus and I have finished many things for Chistmas. I have not knitted so much, but done some other hand crafts in the mean while. I have knitted a scarf, made two homes for matches, one quilted blanket and two shopping bags.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;After all these projects I'm really looking forward to start some knitting project. Luckily I have yarns in stock and next I'm going to knit an Aran Cabled Shrug by Crystal Palace Yarns (&lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/"&gt;pattern available in Ravelry&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tässä muutama kuva valmiista projekteista/&lt;em&gt;Some pictures from the finished projects:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/Syf5RZfV52I/AAAAAAAAAI0/_Qeo-iOjDIE/s1600-h/entrelac_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415571154231748450" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/Syf5RZfV52I/AAAAAAAAAI0/_Qeo-iOjDIE/s320/entrelac_1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/Syf45pQbglI/AAAAAAAAAIs/kwIXr7hWuCY/s1600-h/entrelac_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Konttineulehuivi/Entrelac scarf (malli Ravelrystä/Pattern from Ravelry), lanka/yarn: Rowan Tapestry&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/Syf6mE02VVI/AAAAAAAAAI8/l8U5tyHcDzQ/s1600-h/shopping+bags.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415572608973690194" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/Syf6mE02VVI/AAAAAAAAAI8/l8U5tyHcDzQ/s320/shopping+bags.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Valmis ostoksille? &lt;a href="http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=177482.msg1837265#msg1837265"&gt;Nämä ostokassit on tehty muovipussin mallilla.&lt;/a&gt; Tyylikkäämpiå kuin muovipussit eikö?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ready to do some shopping? &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=177482.msg1837265#msg1837265"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The model of these shopping bags was taken from a plastic bag. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;These have more style than a plastic bag haven't they?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/Syf-BkMz3mI/AAAAAAAAAJE/vQeetyoEhW0/s1600-h/Homes+for+matchs_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415576379787042402" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 217px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/Syf-BkMz3mI/AAAAAAAAAJE/vQeetyoEhW0/s320/Homes+for+matchs_1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/Syf_71Dn-KI/AAAAAAAAAJM/uPXStWBpbu8/s1600-h/Homes+for+matchs_2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415578480255957154" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 217px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/Syf_71Dn-KI/AAAAAAAAAJM/uPXStWBpbu8/s320/Homes+for+matchs_2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Taloja tulitikkuaskeille.

Vanhat langat eivät ikinä tunnu sopivan uusiin projekteihin. Viikonlopulla kävin lankakaupassa ja ostin lankoja joululahjoihin. &lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;It is a little bit strange that even if I have a closets full of different kinds of yarns I still need to buy new yarn. It seems that the old yarns in stock never fit to the new projects. I visited the local yarn shop last weekend and bought yarns for Christmas presents.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/StTZcCmjdgI/AAAAAAAAAHk/xTRQ6eqW7jc/s1600-h/jannet+liekkisukkiin.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392173729627469314" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 142px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/StTZcCmjdgI/AAAAAAAAAHk/xTRQ6eqW7jc/s200/jannet+liekkisukkiin.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tästä Janne-langasta pitäisi tulla &lt;a href="http://www.novita.fi/index.php?cms_cname=neulemallisivu&amp;amp;nlm_id=1962"&gt;Liekki- sukat&lt;/a&gt;. Kuvio on mahtava, harmi vain, ettei langasta ollut saatavilla vielä kirkkaampaa oranssia. Näillä väreillä kuitenkin mennään ja eiköhän näistä hyvät tule.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;These Janne yarns should be used for &lt;a href="http://www.novita.fi/index.php?cms_cname=neulemallisivu&amp;amp;nlm_id=1962"&gt;Liekki socks&lt;/a&gt;. The pattern looks nice. It is a pity that there wasn't any bright orange yarn left in the shop. I hope the colors look nice in the finished socks.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/StTaFwJHFNI/AAAAAAAAAHs/eivt1OzGpj4/s1600-h/zitron+trekking.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392174446226642130" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/StTaFwJHFNI/AAAAAAAAAHs/eivt1OzGpj4/s200/zitron+trekking.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toinen ostos oli käsinvärjätty Zitron Trekking. Lanka näyttää aivan ihanalta. Tätä lankaa olisi tarkoitus käyttää konttineuleen harjoitteluun ja tehdä siitä kaulahuivi. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Then I bought two skeins of hand dyed Zitron Trekking for a scarf. The yarn looks nice and I thinkit suits perfectly for a entrelac scraf.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Jotenkin tuntuu siltä, että vaikka ostin langat ajoissa niin neulon viimeisiä joululahjoja vielä jouluaattona. Kun aloittaa ajoissa niin voi lopettaa myöhässä.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;I think that even if I have bought the yarns this early I will knit the last projects just one night before Christmas. When it comes to Christmas presents my moto is: When you start early you can finish late.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2584743127212303571-3775275131083566806?l=apupuikko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/feeds/3775275131083566806/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2009/10/ostoksillashopping.html#comment-form' title='0 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/3775275131083566806'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/3775275131083566806'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2009/10/ostoksillashopping.html' title='Ostoksilla/Shopping'/><author><name>Loru</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09202726470603314978</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/StTZcCmjdgI/AAAAAAAAAHk/xTRQ6eqW7jc/s72-c/jannet+liekkisukkiin.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584743127212303571.post-4443316043791531909</id><published>2009-10-04T21:36:00.007+03:00</published><updated>2009-10-04T21:52:46.942+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='helmikoru'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pearls'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='helmityö'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='koru'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='beading'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='beads'/><title type='text'>Helmiä ja enemmän helmiä/Beads and more beads</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Olin toisen kerran kaksipäiväisellä helmityökurssilla ja tässä hieman tuloksia. Kurssi oli jälleen kerran loistava.

I made few changes to the pattern and I got a very nice hat for the Autumn. I used &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.esito.fi/epages/esito.axl/?ObjectPath=/Shops/esito"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Panda yarn from "Kauhavan Kangas-Aitta"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; for the hat. The yarn was lovely to knit and the outcome is beautiful.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Modifications to the origianl pattern: 1) Hat: Cast on 92 sts, made 9 rounds of rib, started cast offs when the height of the hat was 12 cm.  2) Ears: cast on 24 sts, made 9 rounds before cast offs.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ohje/&lt;em&gt;Pattern&lt;/em&gt;: &lt;a href="http://beadwhore.blogspot.com/2007/10/hello-kitty-hat.html"&gt;Hello Kitty by Beadwhore&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Puikot/&lt;em&gt;Needles&lt;/em&gt;: 4 mm&lt;br /&gt;Lanka/&lt;em&gt;Yarn&lt;/em&gt;: Panda&lt;br /&gt;Langankulutus/ &lt;em&gt;Yarn consumption&lt;/em&gt;: 1 kerä/skein, 50 grams&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HUOM: Olisi ollut parempi luoda 96 silmukkaa, jotta kavennukset olisivat tulleet tasavälein, mutta huomasin tämänliian myöhään. Kaikesta huolimatta hattu näyttää hyvältä.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;NB: It would haven been better to cast on 96 (instead of 92), in order to get cast offs evenly, but I noticed this too late.

Sain pariltani paketin viime viikon perjantaina ja olen aivan ihastunut sen sisältöön.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I took part to the yarn exchange group in &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ravelry&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; for the very first time and &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/Sm2QsXy2xvI/AAAAAAAAAGM/cpFPu9m1PW0/s1600-h/socks_ravelry+exchange.jpg"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363101823244093170" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 112px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/Sm2QsXy2xvI/AAAAAAAAAGM/cpFPu9m1PW0/s200/socks_ravelry+exchange.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't have the faintest idea, how everything works. Luckily the group moderators gave good advices that a freshman like me managed to do everything right. The idea was to send to the secret partner some yarn and something self made, all in her favorite color/colors. I got the package from my friend last Friday and I really love what it contained.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sain itsevärjättyjä sukkalankoja, sukkapuikot &lt;a href="http://taijantekeleet.blogspot.com/2007/02/kaksi-sukkaa-yhdell-pyrll.html"&gt;Magic Loop -tekniikan&lt;/a&gt; kokeilemiseen, suklaata ja ihanat sukat. Lisäksi posti oli jo aiemmin tuonut minulle yhden neulontakirjan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I received dyed sock yarns, needles for &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.knittinghelp.com/videos/advanced-techniques"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Magic Loop technique&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;, chocolate and beautiful socks. Furthermore, I had already received one knitting book ealier.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Parikseni paljastui &lt;a href="http://kramox.blogspot.com/"&gt;Kramox&lt;/a&gt;! Paljon kiitoksia! Koska ensimmäinen vaihto oli näin mukava juttu, osallistun varmasti uudelleen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;My secret partner was &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://kramox.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Kramox&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;! Thanks to you! This was a very nice experience and I think I will participate toanother yarn exchange group in the future.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2584743127212303571-601558953735069819?l=apupuikko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/feeds/601558953735069819/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2009/07/paketti-salaiselta-ystavaltaa-package.html#comment-form' title='0 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/601558953735069819'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/601558953735069819'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2009/07/paketti-salaiselta-ystavaltaa-package.html' title='Paketti salaiselta ystävältä/A package from a secret friend'/><author><name>Loru</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09202726470603314978</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/Sm2RJQ47KnI/AAAAAAAAAGU/0Am2EV1LwLE/s72-c/ravelry+exchange+package.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584743127212303571.post-137150604310537766</id><published>2009-07-12T15:05:00.005+03:00</published><updated>2009-07-12T15:13:11.889+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='perussukat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ribbed socks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sukka'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='colinette'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kate atherley'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jitterbug'/><title type='text'>Sadepäiviä/Rainy days</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/SlnTI9Rak_I/AAAAAAAAAF8/4cVoJIpolxY/s1600-h/ribbed+socks_2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357545382573937650" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/SlnTI9Rak_I/AAAAAAAAAF8/4cVoJIpolxY/s200/ribbed+socks_2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Onneksi Suomeen kesä ei ole pelkkää hellettä, vaan joskus sataa ja on oltava sisällä ja neuloa. Muutaman sadepäivän jälkeen sain valmiiksi perussukat, joiden pääliosa on joustinneuletta.&lt;br /&gt;Sukat sopivat hyvin jalkaan ja uusi lankatuttavuus Jitterbug oli aivan ihanan tuntuinen neuloa ja vielä paremman oloinen valmiissa sukassa. Näitä sukkia kelpaa pitää ensi syksynä.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fortunately the Summer in Finland is not always full of sunshine. &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/SlnS4pHF3qI/AAAAAAAAAF0/gETifVxtohA/s1600-h/ribbed+socks_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357545102284021410" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/SlnS4pHF3qI/AAAAAAAAAF0/gETifVxtohA/s200/ribbed+socks_1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sometimes it rains and you have to stay inside and knit something.

Sain häneltä ohjeet ja tarvikkeet helmirannekorun tekemiseen. Helmet olivat kaikki vaaleanvioletin eri sävyjä ja niistä tulikin ihana rannekoru. Ohje oli simppeli ja tein rannekorun yhden lastenohjelman aikana eli noin puolessa tunnissa. Kaikki helmitarvikkeet olivat &lt;a href="http://www.helmimeri.net/"&gt;Helmimerestä&lt;/a&gt; Tampereelta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;My friend surprised me and sent me a very pleasant birthday gift. I got a pattern, beads and jewelry thread for a bracelet. Pearls were all different shades of violet and the bracelet turn out gorgeous. The pattern was simply and I made this bracelet during one children TV program, approximately in half an hour. All the supplies were from &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.helmimeri.net/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Helmimeri&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;, Tampere.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Projektitiedot/&lt;em&gt;Project data&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Helmet, lanka, lukot: Helmimeri&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Beads, thread, claps: Helmimeri&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Onnistunut rannekoru ja uusi paita saivat minut innostumaan uuden kaulakorun tekemisestä.

Koska minulla oli ompelukone ja paljon käyttämättömiä kankaita kaapissa jäi ainoaksi hommaksi hyvän mallin löytäminen. Lopulta löysin &lt;a href="http://www.dellaq.com/"&gt;DellaQ:n&lt;/a&gt; malliston ja oma puikkopussini on yksinkertaistettu versio pussista, johon voi laittaa sekä sukka- että pyöröpuikkoja. &lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;I have thought many times, that I should have some kind of case for my needles. Because I happen to own a sewing machine and a lot of unused fabrics the only job left was to find the perfect pattern. Finally I found the &lt;a href="http://www.dellaq.com/"&gt;DellaQ&lt;/a&gt; bags and my needle case is a very simplified version of the needle case for double point and circular needles.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/SjlVEuegAXI/AAAAAAAAAE0/Ob1ThXc-FUo/s1600-h/needle+case+open.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tältä pussi näyttää suljettuna. &lt;em&gt;Here is the needle case closed.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/SjlWLs9q_PI/AAAAAAAAAFU/WR34lA578v0/s1600-h/needle+case+closed.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348400791527554290" style="WIDTH: 192px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/SjlWLs9q_PI/AAAAAAAAAFU/WR34lA578v0/s200/needle+case+closed.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ja tässä pussi aukaistuna. &lt;em&gt;And here is it open.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/SjlVRxCR9zI/AAAAAAAAAE8/p2oeAIztKOM/s1600-h/needle+case+open.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348399796188215090" style="WIDTH: 109px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/SjlVRxCR9zI/AAAAAAAAAE8/p2oeAIztKOM/s200/needle+case+open.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/SjlVg7O9YEI/AAAAAAAAAFE/uR_Orv-P40o/s1600-h/needle+case+open_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348400056623784002" style="WIDTH: 176px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/SjlVg7O9YEI/AAAAAAAAAFE/uR_Orv-P40o/s200/needle+case+open_1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/SjlV1aW44HI/AAAAAAAAAFM/Mm8SXkMMaU8/s1600-h/needle+case+open_2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348400408575926386" style="WIDTH: 176px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/SjlV1aW44HI/AAAAAAAAAFM/Mm8SXkMMaU8/s200/needle+case+open_2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ikävintä tässä projektissa on se, että joudun luopumaan pussista, sillä olen päättänyt lähettää tämän &lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/"&gt;Ravelryn&lt;/a&gt; värivaihtoparilleni. Toisaalta, tämän pitäisi olla mieluinen lahja ja saanpahan tehdä jostakin toisesta kankaasta toisen puikkopussin.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The sad thing making this project is that I have to let go of it. When I started this project I decided to send the first finished version to my yarn change friend from &lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/"&gt;Ravelry&lt;/a&gt;. The happy thought is that this needle case was a wish from my Ravelry friend so it should be a pleasent surprise. This also means that I can make another needle case from another beautiful fabric.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2584743127212303571-2602550698632687718?l=apupuikko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/feeds/2602550698632687718/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2009/06/puikoille-paikka-johon-mennaa-case-for.html#comment-form' title='3 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/2602550698632687718'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/2602550698632687718'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2009/06/puikoille-paikka-johon-mennaa-case-for.html' title='Puikoille paikka, johon mennä/A case for needles to go'/><author><name>Loru</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09202726470603314978</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/SjlWLs9q_PI/AAAAAAAAAFU/WR34lA578v0/s72-c/needle+case+closed.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584743127212303571.post-5475457252829289903</id><published>2009-06-05T14:54:00.008+03:00</published><updated>2009-06-05T15:12:56.619+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='madarin petit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='homespun living'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='discloth'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='waffle knit'/><title type='text'>Tiskirätti leikkimökkiin/Dishcloth to chilren's playhouse</title><content type='html'>Tyttöjen leikkimökin sisustus alkoi olla valmis ja ajattelin kokeilla vielä tiskirätin tekemistä.

Tytär halusi takin heti päälleen ja onneksi ehdin ottaa siitä kuvia ennenkuin se päällä oli kiipeilty puihin ja hypitty hiekassa ja kurassa. No, vaatteet ovat käyttöä varten ja hyvä, että takki oli saajan mielestä kiipeilyn arvoinen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;My daughter's Robin Hood jacket is ready and the outcome is absolutely lovely. My daughter wanted immediately to wear it and luckily I managed to take few pictures before she climbed to the three and jumped to the sandheap.

Myös lapset ovat tyytyväisiä löytööni. Se sopii hyvin niin leikkimiseen kuin neuleiden pingoittamiseen. Tämä lasten hyppymatto löytyi paikallisesta &lt;a href="http://www.biltema.fi/"&gt;Biltemasta&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Finally I found the solution for blocking my knittings. Also my kids are happy with this. It suits perfectly for playing as well as for blocking my knittings. I found this chilrend's hopscotch mat from the local &lt;a href="http://www.biltema.fi/"&gt;Biltema store&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hyppymatto on tehty vaahtomuovista ja siihen saa helposti neuleen kiinnitettyä.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;The hopscotch stones are made from soft foam and the knit pieces are easy to attach to it.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Kuten kuvasta näkyy tyttären Robin Hood -takki alkaa olla pian valmis. Juuri sopivasti pidettäväksi kesäiltoina. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;As it can be seen from the picture that my daughter's Robin Hood jacket is almost ready. Just in time to be worn during the summer evenings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2584743127212303571-5005377285024051803?l=apupuikko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/feeds/5005377285024051803/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2009/04/pingoitustablocking.html#comment-form' title='0 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/5005377285024051803'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/5005377285024051803'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2009/04/pingoitustablocking.html' title='Pingoitusta/Blocking'/><author><name>Loru</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09202726470603314978</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/Sfn7H1lripI/AAAAAAAAADs/wnwhEOCzLb0/s72-c/blocking+solution.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584743127212303571.post-2031018226456652579</id><published>2009-04-11T23:10:00.008+03:00</published><updated>2009-04-11T23:40:47.149+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='knitting books'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='books'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sock Innovation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Marianne Isager'/><title type='text'>Neulontakirjojen inventaario/Inventory of my knitting books</title><content type='html'>Olen aina ajatellut, ettei minulla ole kuin muutama neulontakirja, mutta totuus paljastui minulle kun järjestelin kirjahyllyäni. Minulla olikin mitei 30 neulontakirjaa, joista vain neljästä kirjasta olen neulonut jotakin. Tämän tilaston valossa tulee välttämättäkin mieleen, miksi ihmeessä ostan näitä kirjoja? Ongelmana taitaa olla aika ja se, että ihania neulemalleja on vain niin paljon, ettei oikein osaa päättää, mistä aloittaisi ensimmäiseksi. Vaikka kirjoja on jo jonkin verran niin postitse on Amazonista tulossa &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1596681098"&gt;Sock Innovation &lt;/a&gt;ja &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1596681144"&gt;Marianne Isagerin Japanese Inspired Knits&lt;/a&gt;. Kirjoja kun ei koskaan voi olla koskaan liikaa, eihän?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I have always tought that I have just just few knitting books, but the truth came into daylight when I was cleanning my bookself. I had almost 30 knitting books, but I had knitted something only four of them. Over this statistic I can't help thinkin, why in the earth I'm buying these books? The problem seems to be that I don't have enough time and there are too many lovely knitting patterns in the world. I just can't decide what to do next. Altought I have all these books I'm waiting two books from Amazon: &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1596681098"&gt;Sock Innovation &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1596681144"&gt;Marianne Isager's Japanese Inspired Knits&lt;/a&gt;.

Hän pyysi, että voisinko neuloa seuraavaksi jotakin hänelle? Mikäpäs siinä. Lapsille on kiva neuloa, kun työt tulevat nopeammin valmiiksi. Selasin neulontakirjojani ja löysin Zoë Mellorin kirjasta Adorable knits for Tiny Tots aivan ihanan Robin Hood -takin ohjeen. Aloitin työt pari viikkoa sitten ja nyt takakappale on valmis. Pidän palmikkoneuleiden tekemisestä, joten tämä on juuri oikea ohje minulle. Toivottavasti lopputulos kelpaa tytölle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;My four year old daughter wondered why I'm knitting only for myself. She asked if I could knit something for her too? And why not? Actually, I prefer to knit for my children because the tiny jackets and hats will usually be ready quite quickly. I looked through all my knitting books&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;and found a lovely Robin Hood jacket pattern from Zoë Mellor's book Adorable knits for Tiny Tots. I started to knit this jacket two weeks ago and now the back piece is ready. I love to knit cables, so this is the perfect pattern for me. I hope my daughter likes the finished jacket.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Projektitietoa/&lt;i&gt;Project info&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malli/&lt;i&gt;Patter&lt;/i&gt;: Robin Hood jacket by &lt;a href="http://involvingthesenses.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Zoë Mellor&lt;br /&gt;Lanka/&lt;i&gt;Yarn&lt;/i&gt;: Hjerte Garn's Roma&lt;br /&gt;Puikot/&lt;i&gt;Needles&lt;/i&gt;: 4&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2584743127212303571-3622975365101796906?l=apupuikko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/feeds/3622975365101796906/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2009/03/aiti-miksi-et-neulo-minulle-mitaanmom.html#comment-form' title='0 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/3622975365101796906'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/3622975365101796906'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2009/03/aiti-miksi-et-neulo-minulle-mitaanmom.html' title='Äiti, miksi et neulo minulle mitään?/Mom, why don&apos;t you knit something for me?'/><author><name>Loru</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09202726470603314978</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/SdJp4mKhSjI/AAAAAAAAAC8/zTd6L02w9YM/s72-c/robinhood_jacket_back.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584743127212303571.post-7323941017505485540</id><published>2009-03-22T14:29:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2009-03-22T14:34:05.226+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Shalom cardigan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Meghan McFarlane'/><title type='text'>Näkemiin Shalomille/Goodbye to Shalom cardigan</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/ScYvXF3ddCI/AAAAAAAAAC0/ZSfTDNbIZGU/s1600-h/shalom_ready.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315988483915740194" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 173px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/ScYvXF3ddCI/AAAAAAAAAC0/ZSfTDNbIZGU/s200/shalom_ready.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sain Shalom neuleliivin valmiiksi ja täytyy tunnustaa, etten ole kovin tyytyväinen lopputulokseen.Neuleliivi on aika niukkaa mallia ja sitten vielä menin pilaamaan lopputuloksen liian isoilla näpinlävillä. Tämä ei mitenkään ole mallin vika vaan yksinomaan neulojan, joten ei voi muuta kuin ihmetellä omaa aikaansaannostaan. Koetan saada työn vielä pelastettua tukemalla napinläpeä parilla langanpistolla ja jos se ei toimi niin ainahan voi ostaa isommat napit...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Shalom cardigan is ready and now I have to confess that I'm not very happy with the result. My cardigan seems tobe quite small and then I managed to make too large button holes. The pattern itself is great and the errors made are my own. So, I can't do else than admire what I have done. I will try to save this project by sewing some extra stitches behind the button holes and if it does not work I can always buy larger buttons...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2584743127212303571-7323941017505485540?l=apupuikko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/feeds/7323941017505485540/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2009/03/nakemiin-shalomillegoodbye-to-shalom.html#comment-form' title='0 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/7323941017505485540'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/7323941017505485540'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2009/03/nakemiin-shalomillegoodbye-to-shalom.html' title='Näkemiin Shalomille/Goodbye to Shalom cardigan'/><author><name>Loru</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09202726470603314978</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/ScYvXF3ddCI/AAAAAAAAAC0/ZSfTDNbIZGU/s72-c/shalom_ready.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584743127212303571.post-7341184083741036248</id><published>2009-03-15T14:11:00.011+02:00</published><updated>2009-03-22T09:19:17.444+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='neuleliivi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Shalom cardigan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Meghan McFarlane'/><title type='text'>Shalom cardigan</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/SbzyZa0pmxI/AAAAAAAAACs/usD0_7sTpek/s1600-h/shalom_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 172px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/SbzyZa0pmxI/AAAAAAAAACs/usD0_7sTpek/s200/shalom_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313388178901146386" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;style&gt;  &lt;!--   @page { size: 21cm 29.7cm; margin: 2cm }   P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm }  --&gt;  &lt;/style&gt;   &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;Löysin &lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/"&gt;Ravelryn&lt;/a&gt; sivujen kautta mielenkiintoisen ilmaisohjeen, jota oli pakko kokeilla. Ohje oli vain koolle Small/Medium ja jouduin hieman soveltamaan, mutta eiköhän tästä tule ihan pidettävä liivi.

The pattern was for size Small/Medium and I had to make some modifications. I think the outcome will be ok, despite the modifications.

Norjalainen neulesuunnittelija Solveig Hisdal on tehnyt loistavan kirjan, jonka innoittajana ovat olleet museoista löytyneet vanhat tekstiilit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span  lang="FI" style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span  lang="FI" style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span  lang="FI" style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;Valitettavasti kirjan ”Kuviot silmukoiksi, nostalgisia neuleita” painos on loppuunmyyty, mutta sain ruotsinkielisen version &lt;a href="http://www.adlibris.com/"&gt;Adlibriksestä&lt;/a&gt;. Nyt ainoa ongelmani on, minkä näistä neuleista tekisin ensin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span  lang="FI" style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span  lang="FI" style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"  &gt;I have always loved the colorful cloths of &lt;a href="http://www.gudrunsjoden.com/"&gt;Sjöden Gudrun&lt;/a&gt; and by chance I happened to find a book that has the same style of knitted pullovers and jackets. The Norwegian designer, Solveig Hisdal, has made a gorgeous book "Poetry in Stiches" full of colored knits. The old textiles found from the museums inspired her to make this book.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"  &gt;Unfortunately the Finnish translation of this book was sold out, but I ordered the Swedish translation from &lt;a href="http://www.adlibris.com/"&gt;Adlibris&lt;/a&gt;.

Mermaid -takkiin langat. Nyt takki alkaa olla valmis, vain toinen hiha puuttuu. Toiveenani on, etteivät talven pakkaset lopu ennenkuin saan tämän ihanan takin valmiiksi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I bought last November the yarn and pattern for the Mermaid jacket of &lt;a href="http://www.knit.dk/"&gt;Hanne Falkenberg&lt;/a&gt;. Now the jacket seems to be almost ready, only one sleeve is missing. My wish is that the cold winter days won't vanish before I finish this lovely jacket.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Projektitietoa/&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Project info&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malli/&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Patter&lt;/span&gt;: Mermaid&lt;br /&gt;Lanka/&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Yarn&lt;/span&gt;: Hanne Falkenberg No. 2 Shetland&lt;br /&gt;Puikot/&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Needles&lt;/span&gt;: 2.5&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2584743127212303571-4867503604138843495?l=apupuikko.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/feeds/4867503604138843495/comments/default' title='Lähetä kommentteja'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2009/02/merenneito-takkimermaid-jacket.html#comment-form' title='1 kommenttia'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/4867503604138843495'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2584743127212303571/posts/default/4867503604138843495'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://apupuikko.blogspot.com/2009/02/merenneito-takkimermaid-jacket.html' title='Merenneito-takki/Mermaid jacket'/><author><name>Loru</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09202726470603314978</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1nbJhqSWLH4/SZgyCTkBwqI/AAAAAAAAAA0/QXStpwYxv3Q/s72-c/mermaid_front_back.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
