Redesigned wooden Estonian juniper buttons

When new and beautiful DROPS Big Delight yarn came out, I fell deeply in love with it.


You just can't not to love it!
I bought the yarn to knit lovely cardigan, but like always - life goes his own way.
So I designed a vest.
I can't show it at the moment because decided to send it somewhere, may-be to some knitting magazine.
But I wanted to show you lovely buttons, I redesigned.
The yarn is called "Wild berries", so the wooden buttons is a must!
But I had only light ones (Estonian juniper, they smell great!)...
Creative mind doesn't frighten back and I came up with idea to stain them in black tea.
Well, it didn't work as well as I expected, but drop a food colouring did!
And here we are, beautiful buttons as I wanted!


Ja nüüd emakeeles.
Pikk jutt lühemaks: kudusin uuest DROPS Big Delightist vesti ja selle sobivaid nööpe otsides, pidin ühed mõnusad eestimaised kadakapuust nööbid ära rikuma. Kõigepealt päevake vanni tõeliselt mustas tees ja kuna tulemus polnud piisavalt tume, siis paar tilka toiduvärvi hulka.
Selle tulemusega olen väga rahul!
Nii, et kallid kadakapuust nööbitootjad, asuge aga nööpe värvima ja nõudlus kasvab mühinal!
Vesti näete siis, kui ta saatus on otsustatud.

DROPS ♥ You yarn

Hiljuti lasi Garnstudio välja uue "Limited edition" lõnga  DROPS ♥ You #2 . Koostises on 50% Alpaka, 40% Vill, 10% Lina - ja  100g tokis on 100 m. Eestis on see lõng saadaval Wool&Woollenis ja Rohelises vihmavarjus.
See on mõnusalt võrratu luksuslik lõng, milles on segatud kolme kiu parimad omadused: alpaka pehmus, villa vastupidavus ning lina annab robustse välimuse ja tviidiliku tekstuuri.
Kuna Mustrimaailma foorumis on parasjagu Dropsi "Celtica" kampsunile  oma kooskudumine, siis otsustasin sellest lõngast teha väikese proovika. (Õige värv on tegelt koopis tumedam ja nats lillakam. Väga ilus igatahes.)
Pildil siis varrukaotsa mansett:

Tulemus: nüüd tahaks lausa terve selle kampsu kududa...

Lately came out new "Limited edition" yarn DROPS ♥ You #2   from Garnstudio.
Content: 50% Alpaca, 40% Wool, 10% Linen and one ball is 100g = approx 100 meters.
A delicious luxury yarn is a combination of three of the finest fibres; Alpaca represents the softest of the soft, Wool makes the yarn more durable, and Linen provides an exciting rustic look and creates a tweed-like and fine texture.
Since I have in my knitting forum Mustrimaailm  KAL for DROPS "Celtica" cardigan for Estonian knitters, I decided to knit little swatch. (The yarns true color is a bit darker and warmer. Very pretty anyway! ;)
The yarn is soooo soft and delicious and feels like it's self knitting. ;)
The yarn is available to buy in these shops: http://www.garnstudio.com/countries.php?lang=us
