Tuumasta tekoihin.<\/span> Syksy tulee toden teolla joten on kai lienee viisasta alkaa haalimaan kasaan toivelistan juttuja. Tiiti tilasi jo oman perseenv\u00e4risen<\/a> (vai oliko se sittenkin possunv\u00e4risen)<\/span> myssyns\u00e4, mutta kuten tavallista, min\u00e4 en tyydy helppoihin ratkaisuihin. Tietenk\u00e4\u00e4n.

Peruskouluaikaisista pakollisista<\/span> neulet\u00f6ist\u00e4 toipuminen kesti vuosia. Jos toinen tumppu on kaksi numeroa toista isompi eik\u00e4 ne villasukatkaan onnistuneet yht\u00e4\u00e4n sen paremmin, ei ehk\u00e4 ihan heti pian ala neulomaan innolla neulepuseroita. Niinh\u00e4n sit\u00e4 luulisi. Yl\u00e4asteella aloin neuloa tyypillist\u00e4 80-luvun j\u00e4ttineuletta. Ei valmistunut koskaan. Vuosi sitten taisi \u00e4iti viimein heitt\u00e4\u00e4 <\/span>varastoista sen keskener\u00e4isen tekosen roskiin.<\/p>\n

Vaikka olenkin<\/span> k\u00e4sity\u00f6orientoitunut niin neulominen ei ole koskaan ollut vahvin lajini. Osaan kyll\u00e4 nyky\u00e4\u00e4n jo neuloa kohtalaisen sujuvasti, mutta jos voin sit\u00e4 v\u00e4ltt\u00e4\u00e4 niin mielell\u00e4ni sen teen. Silloin t\u00e4ll\u00f6in kuitenkin saan tilap\u00e4isen mielenh\u00e4iri\u00f6n ja innostun aloittamaan jonkin neuleviritelm\u00e4n. Usein ne j\u00e4\u00e4v\u00e4t keskener\u00e4isiksi (arvatkaa montako pussukkaa t\u00e4ynn\u00e4 keskener\u00e4isi\u00e4 neulejuttuja ty\u00f6huoneella py\u00f6rii)<\/span> mutta on jokunen jopa ihan valmistunutkin. Eri juttu on sitten ett\u00e4 miten k\u00e4ytt\u00f6kelpoisia niist\u00e4 on tullut. K\u00e4ytetyimm\u00e4t neule-juttuni ovat varmasti tumput<\/a> (ensimm\u00e4iset sitten ala-asteen)<\/span> jotka tein noin nelj\u00e4-viisi vuotta sitten, nyt jo l\u00e4hes puhki kulutetut.<\/span>

Nyt t\u00e4m\u00e4<\/span> taas yritt\u00e4\u00e4. Arvasitte varmaan jo mit\u00e4. Varastoista kun pulpahti juuri sopivaa villa-alpakka-lankaa. Opiskeluaikojen mantra sent\u00e4\u00e4n on iskostunut selk\u00e4ytimeen: “Tee aina mallitilkku, tee aina mallitilkku, tee aina mallitilkku…”.<\/p>\n

IN ENGLISH<\/span>
Ideas to<\/span> the practice. Autumn comes fast so I think it’s wise to start gathering items on my wishlist. Tiiti already ordered her beanie<\/a>, but as usual I don’t settle for easy solutions. Naturally.<\/p>\n

It took<\/span> years to recover from mandatory knitwork in groundschool. If other mitten is couple sizes bigger than the other and socks didn’t turn out any better, you might not want to start knitting jumpers very soon. Or atleast that’s what you might think. On upper shool classes I started knitting large <\/span>typical <\/span> 80’s jumper. Never got it finished. I think mum threw that unfortunate half-finished away about a year ago.

Even though<\/span> I am craftwork orientated, knitting has never really been my field. I can knit now-a-days pretty decently, but if I can avoid it, I gladly do. Every now and then I get temporary insanity and start knitting something. In many cases they are never finished (you can try and guess how many bags I have at work filled with unfinished knits)<\/span> but some of them I even manage to finish. Totally different thing is however, how usefull they are. Best knitted item I have ever made is propably pair of mittens<\/a> (first pair since ground school) that I made four-five years ago. They are almost worn out now.

Now I’m<\/span> trying again. You probebly already guessed what. Perfect wool-aplaca-mix yarn for it popped out from my storages. Atleast the mantra from my art&craft vocational school years is burned forever in my brain: <\/span>always <\/span>make sample knitting first, <\/span>always <\/span>make sample knitting first, <\/span>always <\/span>make sampleknit first…”<\/p>\n
