Kanssapistelijat, kayko teille koskaan niin, etta pistelette yollakin? Unissanne? Tai neulojat, neulotteko unissanne?

Mina neulon ja pistelen unissa. Projektit edistyy niin, etta tuntuu, etta kaappitolkullahan niita valmiita pitaisi olla. Arvatkaa vaan, miten aamulla pieneen paahan koskee. Kaiken huipuksi olo on suorastaan uupunut, vaikka pitaisi olla virkea ja levannyt.

Viime yona tein aivan yli-ihanaa kelttiliinaa pistelevalle kanssahenkilolle. Se taytyy kylla toteuttaa. Ja tana aamuna eraat langat huutelivat kaapista ja halusivat ehdottomasti Kevat-huiviksi. Ja viela niin, etta siihen neulotaan mukaan helmia! Kevat-huivi on kaunis, muttei sekaan ole aiemmin kauheasti puhutellut. Helmet minusta on kuuluneet ihan helmitoihin, eika langan sekaan pyorimaan. Mutta taidan silti toteuttaa tuon Kevat-huivin helmilla. Joskus.

Taytyy niistaa akkia tama kaikki sonta paasta, tai muuten mie loydan itseni neulomasta Teddysta Fifia. Onneksi mulla ei ole niin paljon Teddya kaapissa (vaikka Teddya onkin vahan). Mista tuli mieleen, tein listan niista neuleista, jotka voisin toteuttaa pelkista varastolangoista. Lista on kaksi sivua pitka, ja mie olen todennakoisesti elakkeella, ennenkuin ne on kaikki tehtyna.

(Ihme kylla, en ole neulonut sukkia unissani koskaan. IRL senkin edesta. Vaalianpunaset sukat tais olla vuoden 12. pari. Taman taytyy olla jo sairaus.)

Taman kuvattoman postauksen punainen lanka on, etta sita ei ole. Pistelyt alkaa taas maistua (ja on syytakin, jalleen yksi deadline kummittelee), eika Unikkokaan enaa nayta muinaisen maailman hirviolta vaan ihan jees neuleelta. Laitan kuvia erinaisten projektien edistymisesta, kunhan jotain edistysta tapahtuu. Ja miksei tapahtuisi, tanaan on luvattu sadetta ja myrskya ja sehan on paras keli pistella ja neuloa!

(Ihan hullua muuttaa kaupunkiin, jossa sataa ehka 15 paivana vuodesta, jos sattuu tykkaamaan sateesta ja myrskysta.)


My fellow stitchers, do you ever stitch at night? Asleep? Or knitters, do you knit asleep?

I do. I make such a progress with all my projects, that I feel I should have closets full of knitted and stitched stuff. But in the morning, you can only guess my frustration. On top of it all I feel exhausted instead of rested.

Last night I stitched the most wonderful Celtic tablecloth for a fellow stitcher. I liked it so much I probably have to stitch it in real, too. And this morning, some yarn practically screamed at me, wanting to become Kevat (Spring) - shawl. And with beads, of all things! I do like that Kevat-shawl, but never as much as to knit it myself. And beads belong to beading, not knitting, in my opinion. But I guess I have to knit that beaded shawl, eventually.

I really must get rid of this cold, otherwise I'll find myself knitting Fifi of Teddy. Luckily, I don't have that much Teddy in my stash, though I have a couple of balls of it. Speaking of my stash, I wrote down a list of all the garments I could knit of my stash yarn alone. The list was two pages long, and I'll be retired when I have all of them knitted.

(It's a bit of a mystery, though, I've never knitted socks in my sleep. IRL I've knitted an ample amount of them, however. The pink socks were the 12th pair this year. This must be a disease of a kind.)

As you probably have guessed by now, there's no core in this posting. I've rediscovered (again) the joy of stitching (and I should, I have another deadline coming up), and even Poppy does not seem to be the demon of the ancient world it was a while ago. I'll post pics of these various projects when I have some progress made.
And I should make some progress, they predicted rain and storm here today and that is the best weather to stitch and knit!

(I must be downright insane to move into a city which gets rain on maybe 15 days of the year, and I happen to love rain and storming.)

Ei voi oikeen sanoa etta tasta itsetunto saisi mitaan potkua. Mita kohta kolme tarkoittaa? (Laihdutuskuuria.) Enta seitseman? (Huh olkoon. Toivottavasti Karvajalka ei nae tata.) Ja kohdat 8 ja kymmenen todistavat sen, mita blogin lukijat ovat epailleet jo pitkaan: olen tylsa ja ameebaa alkeellisempi. Naiden kahden lisaksi myos kohta 4 pitaa paikkansa, koska minun nimisia (etu- ja takanimi) on tietaakseni vain yksi maailmassa, ja sattumoisin en nyt ole Euroopassa. :)

I can't say this boosts my self-esteem, really. What does no 3 mean? (Another diet.) And seven? (Oh, hell. I hope HairyFeet does not see this.) And no's 8 and 10 prove what this blog's readers must have suspected for a while: I'm dull and more primitive than amoeba. These two and no 4 is true, since there's only one who has a name like mine (first and last name) and as it happens, I'm not in Europe :)
