I almost forgot how much I loved knitting. For some reason I got the urge to knit again at the end of last year. :idea:
First problem was – where to buy wool. Stores did not have much to offer. Synthetic everywhere you turn and I wanted the real thing – soft and warm wool. I finally found the store for me at the other end of the country in Lokateks store. :party:
And look how many magazines are there on the subject of knitting! :happy:
I couldn’t believe that knitting is “in” again. Magazines vanish from the shelfs as soon as they stock them, so does wool …
Products you see on the first photo are either already finished or getting there. I gave my loved ones couple of warm pieces for New Year. Work is interesting and not boring at all. I knit while watching TV, resting, drinking my early morning coffee …
I think knitting is excellent hobby – nice and useful at the same time. And with little bit of effort you get visible results … the kind that are soft, warm and cozy to wear.
OK, I do exaggerate once in a while with knitting stretching well over midnight. But I love it :yes:
Did I inspire wish for knitting in any of you? 
Skoraj sem že pozabila na pletenje, ki sem ga nekoč oboževala. Niti se ne spomnim, kaj je lani decembra spložilo impulz, da sem se na pletenje sploh spomnila. :idea:
Prvi problem je bil, kje kupiti volno. V trgovinah je izbira precej slaba. Prevladujejo mešanice z velikim deležem sintetike. Jaz pa sem želela tisto pravo, toplo in nežno volno. V Škofji Loki je trgovina Lokateks, ki je zame naenkrat postala nakupovalna lokacija No.1. :party:
In koliko revij na temo pletenja! :happy:
Kar nisem mogla verjeti, da je pletenje spet “in”, da si ljudje spet želijo sami nekaj splesti. Revije sproti poidejo, pri volni je treba paziti, da kupiš enako partijo, če je slučajno kupiš premalo.
Na prvi fotografiji je nekaj malega izdelkov, ki so že končani ali so še v fazi izdelave. S toplimi izdelki sem razveselila svoje najbližnje za novoletne praznike. Delo je zanimivo in pestro in ni dolgočasno. Odlično lahko izkoristim gledanje televizije, počivanje, jutranje kofetkanje. Neskončno uživam v izbiri vzorcev, v kombiniranju različnih barv volne, v norveških vzorcih. Za slednje že ustvarjam načrte v glavi. :angel:
Pletenje se mi zdi odlična izbira za zapolnitev prostega časa, je prijetno in koristno obenem. In z malo truda in veselja so vidni rezultati dela: takšni topli, mehki in prijetni za nošenje.
OK, na trenutke tudi pretiravam, mimogrede je ura polnoč ali krepko po polnoči. Ampak tako neznansko uživam… :yes:
Sem kateri vzbudila željo po pletenju? :wave:
Pridna, Mamy! Lepi izdelki!
Moram se pohvaliti, da znam tako štrikati kot tudi kvačkati, a nekako ni časa za te reči. K sreči me mami razvaja s čudovitimi unikatnimi kvačkanimi zadevami (nekaj malega tudi štrikanimi). :wub:
Moram pa si pribeležiti Lokateks trgovino. Hvala za info! :rose:
Hvala, Maestra! :rose:
Jaz komaj znam kvačkati, kakšnega izdelka najbrž ne bi znala spraviti skupaj. :blush:
Nope, no inspiration… I´ve just remembered the very itchy woollen long underwear my gran knit for me when I was a kid, and the itchy woollen hat etc. Those were horrible! I prefer synthetics.
I started knitting just over a year ago. It’s a wonderful past time, I love that I can sit and watch a movie and knit so my hands are never idle. Have you ever considered spinning your own fiber for yarn? I picked that up too and it’s wonderfully relaxing.
I actually started knitting a couple of weeks ago! But so far I haven’t gotten very far :/ It kind of doesn’t fit with my polish obsession.. I can’t really knit and make a new mani on the same day, or the mani is totally ruined :/ And I apparently prefer doing my nails to knitting..
Čudoviti udelki! Še posebej mi je všeč vzorček na lila puloverju :rose: . Tud sama “štrikam”, me je mami naučila, ampak je bil to kr velik izziv ker sem levičarka :haha: .
Pri nas doma se povečini pletejo šali in nogavice. Me pa zelo veseli dejstvo, da pletenje in ostala ročna dela spet postajajo popularna :yes:
S pletenjem lila puloverja sem pozimi začela, je zelo topel in debel, tako da ga nosim le takrat, ko je zelo mraz. Sicer je prevroč.
Praviš, da si levičarka: kmalu potem, ko sem napisala ta post, sem kupila knjigo Velika knjiga o pletenju avtorice Claire Crompton, izdala Mladinska Knjiga 2010. V njej je točno opisano in narisano pletenje za levičarje. :thumb:
Super, da te je naučila mami, mene tudi. Nekaj sem odnesla tudi iz šole z ročnodelskega krožka. Kako se pletejo nogavice, sem skoraj pozabila, vem da ni ravno enostavno.
Ja, mene tudi veseli, da pletenje ne tone v pozabo, prav nasprotno. :party:
I am addicted to knitting!!!! Before nail polish that is all I did lol. I knit 7 sweaters last year and it was the first time I had ever knit sweaters before. Have you tried out Konad’s M69 plate? It has a knit stitch stamps, basically my two worlds combined!
Cute hobby, isn’t it! :w00t:
7 sweaters – it’s a lot! :stars: I can’t believe, I have this plate M69: :idea:
nail polish and knitting on one plate! Thanks Melanie Matos! :thumb:
I like knitting but I tend to get bored – I have a lot of half-finished projects around the house.
Maybe I gave you the idea to finish them. :w00t:
I love knitting to :)
Really? Nice. :wub:
ah… Ko bi le znala plest :)
Potem ne bi rabila skakat po trgovinah in še vedno iskat tiste popolne volnene (umetna volna, ker me prava pika in srbi) nadkolenke :/ Zdaj pa bo že pomlad…
Prava volna je res zelo prijetna za nošenje. Jaz pletem samo stvari za zimsko garderobo. V revijah za pletenje, nekaj jih je tudi na zgornji fotografiji, pa je nekaj zelo luštnih stvari za pomlad. Sploh tunike so zelo “in”. :yes:
I wish I could knit, sounds so fun! But alas, I can’t. One of my friends can, though :)
It isn’t difficult to learn to knit, believe me. :wink:
