Alustatud sai selle iludusega eelmise aasta 4. aprillil. Siis sai kootud umbes 30 ringi. Vahepeal oli talveuni. Pärast vanaema kampsuni valmissaamist tuli hull turbo peale ja nii ma ta sahtlist välja kaevasin ja vardad taas sisse lõin. Et mustril on pikalt 6 kordust, oli neid suhteliselt ebamugav 4 varda peal kududa. Nii saigi esimesed kaks kordust hoopis 80 cm ringvarrastele pandud. Iga kord, kui ringvarras kätte jõudis, kudusin sellel olevad silmused sama ringvarda teise otsaga. Suur õnn saabus umbes 56ndal ringil, mil oli lõpuks nii palju silmuseid, et sai töö 80 cm ringvarrastele kududa. Umbes 100nda ringi paiku õnnistasin sihtotstarbeliselt sisse 150 cm pikkused ringvardad.
Vaat et kõige kauem aega võttis aega kolme heegelringi tegemine. Natuke muutsin antud sagedust ning tegin igas tipus kahe silmuse asemel kolmest silmusest kinnissilmuse. Niimoodi jooksid kinnissilmused kootud võrgumustriga kokku.



This beauty was cast on April 4th, 2010. Managed to knit about 30 rounds then. Then came hibernation. After finishing a sweater for my grandmother, I was attacked by extreme turbo and I dug her out of my drawer to put the stitches back on needles.
As the pattern has six repeats for quite awhile, it was quite uncomfortable to knit it on 4 needles. So I put two first repeats onto 80 cm circular needles. When the stitches on the circular needles came, I knit them with the other end of the same needles. I was really happy when, around 56th round, I could put all the stitches onto the 80 cm circular needles. After about 100 rounds, I could take my brand new 150 cm circular needles into use.
The last three crochet rounds were by far the slowest. I changed the pattern of making the single crochets. Instead of always using two stitches, I used three where the points reached the edge. This way the edging and the knit pattern looked better.

Tegin väheke ilusama pildi ka. Sellel tuleb ilu tõeliselt välja.
Made a little prettier picture aswell. This really shows the beauty of Alita.
