Seashells and beads. Merekarbid ja helmed.

As soon I came across with this clustered seashell stitch pattern I knew it will make a nice summer bag. I found this pattern in Italian pattern book Tutti Punti Maglia. When I translated Italian title it turned out to mean Fans. Really it reminds me of both fans and seashells. I added some wooden beads as well to highlight the pattern. The bamboo handles came from Abakhan Fabrics.I knitted seven pattern repeats so that the pattern on one side is offset by one half of the pattern on the other side. Yarn: Kelly Garn bought from Denmark, 4 skeins, 38% linen, 31% cotton, 31% viscose Needles 3 mm. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kohe, kui avastasin selle koemustri, oli selge, et suvekotiks ma ta ükskord koon. Muster pärit itaaliakeelsest mustrikogust Tutti Punti Maglia. Nimetasin mustri enda jaoks Merekarbikirjaks. Hiljem tõlkisin originaalnime google abiga, selgus, et hoopis lehvikukiri. Kudusin seitse mustrikorda, seega muster paigutub erinevalt esi- ja tagaküljel. Lisasin veidi puupärle mustrit elavdama. Sangad pärit Abakhanist. Lõng: Kelly Garn ostetud Taanist, 4 tokki = 200gr, 38% lina, 31% puuvilla, 31% viskoosi Vardad 3 mm. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- When I first saw the phone case crocheted with seed beads I knew I wanted one as well. At first I was struggling to crochet it. But when I got the hang of it at last, it was fun to do. I guess there will be more :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seemnehelmestega heegeldatud mobiilikotti olen juba tükk aega ihaldanud. Tsunaami, hea inimene, pani õpetuse kirja. Nüüd siis leidsin aja asi ette võtta. Kasutasin kodus leiduvat helmesegu. Arvan, et oma 6 meetrit helmeid sain niidile aetud. Peenikesed nad ju on, ja heegelnõel oli ka peenike, 1mm. Minu jaoks põhiline nipp seisnes selles, et tuli nii tihedalt heegeldada, et helmes läbi silmuse valele poole ei saaks lipsata. Väikese aasa otsa lisasin kinnise, mis lubab kotti riputada. Ülejäänud helmed heegeldasin paelaks, millega saab vajadusel kotikest kaelas kanda. Pärlitega heegeldamist tahan veel teha!
