Comfort Shawl

Feather and Fan Comfort Shawl

Feather and Fan Comfort Shawl

Pattern source: Knitting-and.com
Yarn: Handspun, handdyed 100 % wool yarn

Needles: 3,5 mm


Feather and Fan Comfort Shawl

Kuulun yleensä projektineulojien joukkoon (= lopputulos on neuleprosessia tärkeämpi), mutta tällä kertaa neulomisen mukavuus vei voiton. Tätä oli tosi kiva neuloa! Malli on helppo, kuudesta mallineulekerroksesta neljä on ainaoikeaa, joten ohjeen oppi nopeasti ulkoa, ja värien vaihtaminen ilman ennakkosuunnitelmaa oli oikein rentouttavaa. Lisäksi olin kovin tyytyväinen siitä, että kummitädiltäni jo puolitoista vuotta sitten saaduille ihanille langoille löytyi näin mainio ohje.

This shawl was all about the process. I loved knitting this! The pattern is very easy, four of the six rows in the pattern repeat are knit rows, so after a few repeats you don't have to check the pattern anymore. It was fun to change colours without a plan. And I think this was a perfect marriage of yarn and pattern: I was so happy to find a pattern for the beautiful handspun, handdyed yarn my godmother gave me one and a half years ago.

Mutta kyllä lopputuloskin miellyttää, joten sisäinen projektineulojani on tyytyväinen. Aika kirjavahan tämä on, ainakin kun normaaliin pukeutumiseeni vertaa, mutta mustaan yhdistettynä huivia voisi ehkä käyttää töissäkin… ja varmasti ainakin kotisohvalla, ja pysyä ihanan lämpimänä!

But now that it's done, I like it, and that makes my inner project knitter happy too. It's a lot more colourful than anything I usually wear, but I think it looks quite nice with black. And it is, like the name suggests, very comfortable, so even if I don't end up wearing it in public, I can always wear it at home, and stay very, very warm.

Oi miten kaunis! Sopii tosi hyvin mustan kanssa. Käytä ehdottomasti aina kun voit! :)

Beautiful! It's just the style I want to knit with my handspun.

Upea, erittäin kaunis! Mustaan tai muun yksiväriseen yhdistettynä tyylikäs.

Olen samaa mieltä. Mallikerta on miellyttävää neulottavaa.

Upeat värit ja todella kauniisti yhdisteltynä. Ehdottoman hieno ja varmasti monikäyttöinen huivi.

Voi kuinka se on kaunis! Niin herkkä ja suloinen! Sopii varmasti mustan takin kanssa ainakin. Mäkin haluun!

Taas ihana valmist projekti! Huivi näyttää aivan loistavalta mustan kanssa, mutta voisin hyvinkin kuvitella sen sopivan myös muun väristen vaatteiden kanssa, kunhan eivät ole liian kirjavat.

Aivan mahtavan näköinen huivi. Värit sopivat toisiinsa tosi hyvin. Mahtavalla tavalla ole yhdistänyt värit.

wow I love it!! You did a great job

kauniin huivin olet tehnyt. Itse kudoin samaisen huivin itsevärjätyistä langoista kummitädilleni.Malli oli mukava kutoa.

 
At 6:21 ip., Blogger Ami said...

It's gorgeous. I'm obsessed with making one of these, but I have to collect the right yarn first.

How beautiful the combination of pattern and colours!

Silmää hivelevä huivi. Kuten jo on kommenteissa tullut, yhdistä arkailematta. Valkoinen, beige tai jos vaan sinulta löytyy, vaaleanpunainen t-paita sopisi myös huivin alle. kuinka paljon lankaa huiviin kului?

Beautiful!

Kaunis, värit sointuvat hyvin eivätkä ainakaan minun silmääni näytä liian kirjavilta.
