Hjemmelekser

Jeg har meldt meg på et nuperellekurs på internett som holdes av Gerogia Seitz. Undervisninga foregår via chatting, noe jeg gjorde for første gang i mitt liv sist mandag. Første gang jeg var med, var temaet klassiske hjul av ringer. Hjemmeleksen var å lage et kvadrat etter å ha sett på hvordan en trekant var konstruert. Jeg måtte prøve meg på en femkant også. Hadde tenkt å lage en sekskant, men en venninne spurte om det ikke var mulig å lage hjerter på samme måten, så jeg prøvde det i stedet. Siden kurset er på engelsk, er resten av teksten her på engelsk.

English version
I have just joined the online tatting class run by Georgia Seitz. The theme for the first class I was attending was the classic tatted wheel. After having studied a triangle based on the tatted wheel the homework was making a similar square.

For me the first step was to reproduce the triangle. The triangle we had a look at in class, had two rings between the clovers that make the corners of the triangle. Centre ring: 2 dst 9 times. Small rings: 6+6, join to the centre ring. Side rings: 6+3-2-2-3-6 (two between each clover). Clovers: R: 6+3-2-2-3-6, R: 6+3-2-2-2-2-3-6, R: 6+3-2-2-3-6, leave some thread between the rings in the clover.

Then the square. Four corners calls for four clovers. As there are more rings to go around, I made them slightly smaller. Still using two rings between each clover, I needed 2 dst 12 times in the centre ring. Small rings 6+6, join to the centre ring. Side rings 6+2-1-1-2-6. Clovers: R: 6+2-1-1-2-6, R: 6+2-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-6, R: 6+2-1-1-2-6, leave some thread between the rings.

The natural next step would be a pentagon. As I did not want the size to be too large, I reduced the number of rings between the clovers to one. As the number of rings decreased I increased the size to the same as for the triangle. I should not have done so. It needed some persuading to be flat.


I was aiming for a hexagon, but before I got that far, a friend of mine asked if it was possible to make a heart as she found the triangle to be of a "heart-ish" shape. I had to try to make one. The first attempt my friend got the same evening, no photo. The second attempt was less like a hart, the third not much better. The fourth is more like the first attempt, only larger rings at the curves. The fifth (grey) is more like a heart. If I make it again, I'll make the ring at the point a bit larger.

This is how you make the grey heart:

All 6+6 rings are joined to the centre ring
All outer rings are joined to the previous outer ring. The last is also joined to the first outer ring.

Små snøfnugg

Siden snøen er kommet ute, var det på sin plass å lage noen små snøfnugg inne også. Disse er laget i Gütermann Sulky Viskose. Mønstrene er designet av Patty Dowden og Inga Madsen (snøfnugget er første omgang til en brikke Inga har designet).

English summary
As it is snowing outdoors I had to make some snowflakes for the indoors as well. The one to the left is designed by Patty Dowden. The one to the right is the first row of a doily designed by Inga Madsen.

Strikking

En uke på hotell hjelper av og til på framgangen i et håndarbeidsprojekt, selv om uka etter ikke bidrar særlig.

Større arbeid ferdig

Har holdt på med en større nuperelleduk siden i sommer og nå er den ferdig :-)

Trenger bare litt nøyere retting av buer og pikoter før den sendes til mottakeren.

Den lille forskjellen

På turen til Kreta startet jeg på et nytt nuperelleprosjekt, en duk jeg har prøvd meg på før. Bildet til venstre viser begge forsøkene. Kan du finne forskjellen? Jeg har litt annen teknikk i andre omgang, men det er ikke det jeg tenker på.

Den lille forkjellen som er der, gjør at brikken til venstre ikke blir større, mens den andre har vokst videre til stadiet vist på bildet under, og vil fortsette å vokse.

Og forskjellen er: to pikoter og en pikokt for lite på ringen i midten av brikken til venstre.


English summary
Can you spot the difference between the two doilies in the photo at the top? Except than using another technique in the second row?

I started a new doily on my trip to Crete, using the same pattern as I tried before. There is a small difference making the one to the left impossible to increase where as the other has grown as shown in the second photo and will keep on growing.

The difference is two missing dst and a missing picot in the centre ring of the doily to the left.
