Nyt olis haussa testineulojia Ruusa neuletakille RavelrynFPT:ssä (linkki suoraan mun ohjeeseen). Tästä linkistä lisää ryhmän säännöistä.
Eka versio on neulottu, pingotettu, päärmeet ja napit
ommeltu:
Valmiin takin myötä huomasin pari kohtaa, jotka voisi tehdä toisin,
paremmin ja siistimmin… eli vaikka tämäkin versio pääsee (on jo päässyt)
aktiivikäyttöön, niin se ei ole ihan mun vaatimuksia vastaava.
Ohjetta ja kaavioita olen viilannut useampaan kertaan sekä
mallitilkkuillut kaarroketta suurempiin kokoihin. Suurimman koon lyhennetyt
kerrokset yhdessä kirjoneuleen kanssa eivät halunneet toimia mun
laskutoimituksilla alkuunkaan, kunnes äkkäsin ihan typerän kikan. Typerän,
koska harmittaa että olisi ollut niin helppoa älytä se ennen kuin purin ja
neuloin kaarrokkeen uudelleen SEITSEMÄÄN kertaan. Kahdeksannella kerralla
onnistui kikan avulla ja nyt työ jatkuukin ihan kokonaiseksi takiksi asti.
Langat on jo myös tilattu siihen lopulliseen versioon, joka
tikutellaan kaikkien taiteen sääntöjen ja tarkasti ohjeen mukaan. Sormia oikein
syyhyä jo päästä varsinaisen langan kimppuun! – Ja sitten pitäisi vielä
aloittaa muutama uusi versio, koska tämä projekti poiki jo jatkoidean! ;D
Ruusa Cardigan
The first
version of Ruusa Cardigan is finished; knitted, blocked, hemmed and buttons
sewed:
After
finishing this version, I discovered some things that could be made in other,
better and nester ways… so even if this version has already been in use, it
doesn’t really meet my high standards.
I have
worked further with the pattern, text and charts, and swatched the yoke for
bigger sizes. I had some trouble getting the short rows to match my
calculations for the biggest sizes and did knit and rip the yoke for SEVEN
times until I got it finally right. So this time eight time’s the charm.
I’ve also
ordered the yarns for my final version that will be done exactly by the pattern
with no more adjustments. My fingers are already tickling and I can’t wait to
get to work! – Oh and I should also start, yet again, few more new versions since
this project beard an extended idea ;D
In my body
hugging patterns I usually use several shaping alternatives to able knitters to
adjust the pattern to fit their own body. I refer to different letters when
describing the body types in the patterns. It’s shorter to refer to one letter
than the full name with long descriptions.
The five
most common body types are:
X-body
alias hourglass – The upper body and the hips are approximately the same width
and with a distinct waist definition.
- bust about
the same width as the hip-line
- defined
waist
A-body
alias pear – The upper body is smaller than your hips and with a waist
definition.well
defined waist
- bust and
shoulders are proportionally narrower than hip-line
- thighs and
but might be full and round
H-body
alias rectangular – Upper body and the hips are the same width and with really
small waist definition.
- bust and
shoulders about the same width as the hip-line
- little or
no waist definition
Y-body
alias inverted triangle – Upper body is wider than the hips and with small
waist definition.shoulders
wider than your hips
O-body
alias apple – Upper body is wider than the hips and with absolutely no waist definition.wide around
the waistline
- no waist
definition
- hips and
but might be full along with waist
- bust, waist
and hips are very close in measurements
These body
types are generalizations and means. And of course not everybody fits to these body
types. – I’m a good example of someone who doesn't fit exactly to any of the
general body types. Why? I have wide shoulders, almost no boobs, distinct waist
and wide hips. I don’t fit to the X-body because I don’t have boobs, even though
from distance my body might look like it would be an hourglass. So I’m a mix of body
types Y and A with special feature of having my real waist, the narrowest part
of my torso, right below my nonexistent boobs. Oh and then I have a swayback
and one side of my hips is much fuller then the other…
Luckily knitted garments stretch and are very forgiving to our imperfect yet gorgeous bodies!
I don’t
include all the body types to every pattern, but do often include at least shaping
alternatives for the bust and for a swayback (entirely for personal reasons).
Pattern description tells you if the pattern includes shaping alternatives.
