Pattern Release: Sõel. Uus muster ilmunud: Sõel.


I have a new pattern to share! I'm quite excited I finally released the pattern. It seems like an easy and fast knit, and that's right. The loop is worked in rounds and uses a very simple four-stitch lace repeat. Every other round is knit, so just sit back and relax. Still, it took several attempts to get the pattern right. At first, I slipped stitches from one needle to another every time I started a new round but really it's not necessary once I figured out where the problem was.  
I called the pattern Sõel because it's a very holey mesh. The pattern name Sõel comes from Estonian and means a sieve. The Sõel is an intriguing accessory which can be worn as a loop, cowl, capelette or snood. It is very airy and stretchy, perfect for Spring or even Summer.  The pattern is easily adaptable in width and length. The lace pattern is written out and charted. I even didn't block it, just loved the squishy texture of the loop. When washed, I just laid it flat to dry, gathering the cowl in initial measurements to keep it full of squishy texture. Just one skein of that beautiful fingering-weight hand-dyed yarn laying in your stash waiting to be knit makes a wonderful infinity loop in no time worked on big needles.

Kevadisel ajal tahan ma ikka kaela soojas hoida, mine sa tuult tea. Paksud talvised sallid on aga liiast. Üks saja-grammine tokk käsitsivärvitud lõnga, suured vardad, auguline muster, ja siin ta on! Lubage esitleda: Sõel. Mulle meeldis see tekstuur, mis varrastelt tuli, seega ma ei venitanud salli, nagu tavaliselt pitsi puhul tehakse. Ma ainult pesin salli ja laotasin kuivama, vormides esialgsetesse mõõtudesse. Ringsall on mõnus, sest kandmisviise on palju, vastavalt vajadusele. Esialgne plaan sall ära kinkida asenus kiirelt sooviga see endale jätta. Minu uus lemmik!

MKAL in Progress. Salakudumine edeneb jõudsalt.

Look! Aren't they beautiful! Mystery Knit-a-long is in full swing. Makes me so happy to see all socks growing. Gussets are stripy in the original pattern, like on Sunray's socks. Several knitters made gussets in sole pattern as in Katriina's socks, and why not. I love creative knitters! 
I will translate the pattern into English and add it to my collection of mosaic sock patterns in Ravelry.

Vaata vaid neid iludusi! Salajane sokikudumine Mustrimaailmas edeneb hoogsalt. Originaalses mustris on kannakiil triibuline, nagu Sunray kudus. Mitmed kudujad tegid kannakiilu tallamustris nagu Katriina sokis. Tore on näha modifikatsioone.

The Sokikesed Pattern Update. Sokikeste muster täiendatud.


Do you remember the Sokikesed socks I made last summer? I wasn't entirely happy with the charts.  So I decided to create new charts, a separate chart for each size. There are four sizes given with four options on how to work the lace pattern on the top of the foot. Can you spot the difference in stripy and white sock patterns? One is small and textured, another more open and lacy. 
The pattern is updated in Ravelry now.
Summer is just around the corner, time to knit summery socks again!

* * * 

Kudusin need Sokikesed ja kirjutasin mustri möödunud suvel. Tundus, et skeemid võiksid paremad olla. Mõni kuduja oli väheke segaduses, kuidas skeemi lugeda. Nüüd võtsin kätte ja tegin uued skeemid, iga suuruse jaoks oma skeem, kokku neli suurust. Mustrivariante, mille vahel valida, on ka neli. Tähelepanelik vaatleja märkab erinevust. Triibulise soki muster on kompaktsem, valge soki muster avatum. Erinevus on ka sokininal, ühe muster moodustab kolmnurga, mis küll ei paista hästi välja kirju lõnga tõttu.
Suvi pole enam kaugel, aeg suvesokke kududa!

Socks News. Sokiuudiseid.


I have several socks news to share! The Tulips KAL is still running strong. Have you cast on a pair yourself? Post your finished socks project in Ravelry by 10th March and I will gift you a coupon code for 40% off on one of the single patterns in my Ravelry store! The KAL thread will stay open. Welcome to post your socks anytime! I enjoy seeing all the colourful tulips blooming. Aren't they amazing? There are more pairs up on Ravelry and even more to come. 

Mul on mitmeid sokiuudiseid jagada! Kõigepealt näitan valikut tulbisokke, mis on valminud. Ravelrys on neid veelgi rohkem ja tuleb aina juurde. Tulbisokkide kooskudumine on ikka veel käimas. Postita oma sokid kuni 10. märtsini ja ma kingin Sulle 40%-lise allahindluskoodi ühele mustrile. Kooskudumise teema mu Ravelry grupis jääb avatuks, pilte võib ka hiljem lisada. Nii tore on näha igavärvilisi tulpe tärkamas!


Remember these Ripe 'n Ready Socks? It's one of my early patterns. I love the pattern and I was happy when it was picked for HiyaHiya Free & Fun KAL coming up in April/May. Two coloured mosaic cables look amazing and they are relatively easy to knit. The mosaic cable pattern knits up using just one of the yarns at a time, much easier than stranded colourwork. Providing the pattern for the KAL was a great opportunity for me to update the pattern. I made new charts, added one more size, so it comes in three sizes now. The pattern was newly tech edited and test knitted. If you want the pattern for free, hop over to the HiyaHiya KAL thread (linked above). Otherwise, it's available on Ravelry. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to update the German version yet. I have to upload a new pdf to LoveKnitting too, in my ever-growing todo list.
Celebrating re-release of the pattern with 20% off discount (no coupon code required) until midnight, Sunday, March 10 (UK time zone). 

Mäletate veel neid Ripe 'n Ready sokke? Muster sai kunagi tehtud Isetegija foorumi salakudumise jaoks. Mosaiik-koes kahevärvilised palmikud on efektsed ja üsna lihtsad kududa. Kogu aeg on töös ainult üks lõng, mitte kaks/kolm, nagu kirjatud kudumites. Nüüd osutus sokimuster see valituks HiyaHiya Free & Fun KAL kooskudumiseks Ravelrys. Selle tarvis otsustasin mustrit uuendada, tegin uued skeemid, lisasin kolmanda suuruse, ja muster sai ka tehnilise toimetaja poolt üle vaadatud. Kõik ikka ainult inglise keeles kahjuks. Hea uudis on aga see, et kui soovid seda mustrit kududa päris tasuta, siis ühine HiyaHiya grupis kooskudumisega aprillikuus. Ja auhinnad on ka!


The third news is for my Estonian readers, at this point of time anyway. I wrote a brand new sock pattern for the MKAL held in an Estonian craft forum Mustrimaailm. The pattern will be released in English too, hopefully in April. Stay tuned! I will share some sneak peeks as MKAL progresses.

Kolmas uudis on ka! Mustrimaailmas algab kohe täna uhiuus soki-salakas! Seekord ainult VIPidele, sest tegemist uhiuue mustriga. Ühine ka, saab lõbus olema, no ma loodan vähemalt ;)
