Firstly: Sweet flower bag for grabs at Kalisz made.
Secondly: As some of yo have noticed in yesterday's summary, there were few projects I have not even mentioned before. Today is the time to catch up. Let's start with the pink shawl, shall we? The pattern looks more complicated than it really is, really! In fairness you only have to pay attention every 4th row, knitting (or purling) the other 3 rows. All was great but for the yarn colour! I'd bought the Luna yarn at zamotane.pl, knowing that this pink would be somewhat vivid. But did not expect neon bright! I had to wear sun glasses working with it ;o) Luna itself is a delight to work with, does not split, does not break, does not leak colour and blocks nicely... Did I mention it's cheap?!? But that colour, that colour... Plan A had it that I keep knitting a larger shawl, until I run of yarn. However, I just got sick of the neon pink, so I ended up following the pattern and finished the shawl as in the oryginal description, after 9 chart repeats. After light blocking, this was born:
Po drugie: Jak pewnie niektórzy z was zauważyli, we wczorajszym podsumowaniu pojawiły się rzeczy, o których nie pisnęłam ani słowa. Dziś zaczynam nadrabiać. Zacznijmy od różowej chusty. Wzór wygląda na bardziej skomplikowany, niż jest w rzeczywistości. Tak naprawdę, to co 4 rządek wymaga koncentracji (i to nie przesadnej, jak już się załapie o co chodzi) a nastepne 3 rządki można robić z zamkniętymi oczami. Wszystko byłoby piękne, gdyby nie kolor włóczki. Kupiłam tą Lunę w zamotane.pl wiedząc, że będzie raczej ostrym różem. Ale neonowego sie nie spodziewałam! Zakładałam okulary przeciwsłoneczne dziergając tą włóczką. Sama Luna jest całkiem przyjemna w robocie, nie rozdwaja się, nie rwie, ładnie blokuje... Tylko ten kolor, ten kolor! Plan A przewidywał powiększenie chusty, wykorzystując cały metraż włóczki, ale nie dałam rady. Plan B, wcielony w życie, trzymał się oryginalnego opisu i zakończenie chusty po 9 powtórzeniach wzoru. Lekkie blokowanie i voila!
