Purple Waves Throw. Laineline pleed.

A mild British summer, a lot of rain and a few yellowing leaves lead to thoughts of autumn, and subsequently on to winter. I prefer to keep my house a bit cooler, keeping myself warm with a throw on my shoulders or legs. My old throw had lost its shape and was looking its age and a new one was much needed.  My dream became reality and at last I have managed to knit a new throw for myself.

The pattern is from the Estonian stitch dictionary Pitsilised Koekirjad. The needles used are number 5. The dark Red Angora yarn is Linate de Lux and the other yarn is multi-coloured which I bought years ago from EBay.  It was described as Italian mohair yarn and I really liked the colours. When the yarn arrived I was just a wee bit disappointed. I know I should not buy an unbranded yarn, but the colours are still loved. The yarn is relatively thin and has a very short and soft pile. The colourful yarn is knitted with the two ends together.

Reducing my inventory is in progress, however both yarns are still present. I'll see how the yarns behave with throw then decide what else I could knit with them.

At the moment I am very happy with the result.

Eestimaises palavuses ei tuleks vist pähegi hakata praegu sooja pleedi kuduma. Inglismaa jahe suvi, vihmahood ja üksikud kolletavad lehed aga viivad mõtted sügisele, ning kaugel see talvgi on. Ma eelistan jahedamat tuba, hoides sooja pleedi õlgadel või jalgade peal. Aastaid kasutusel olnud kusagilt kataloogist pärit pleed on igasuguse välimuse kaotanud ja unistus uuest pleedist sai teoks. 

Muster on pärit Pitsilistest koekirjadest. Vardad nr. 5. Tumepunane lõng on Linate Angora de Lux. Lillakirju lõnga soetasin kunagi Ebay'st, sest värvidemäng meeldis väga. Lõnga kirjeldati kui Itaalia mohääri. Kui lõng saabus olin veidi pettunud, ei tasu ikka tundmatut osta, värv aga meeldis endiselt. Lõng on üsna peenike ja lühikese udupeene karvaga. Kirju lõng on kootud kaks otsa koos. 

Käsil on varude vähendamine. Mõlemat lõnga on veel alles. Vaatan, kuidas lõngad pleedina käituvad, siis otsustan, mida neist veel koon.

Tulemusega olen praegu väga rahul.
