Midagi väga lihtsat/Something very plain

Praegu on kogu aeg mõni sõit ees. Nagu teada, pole mugav alustada uut kudumit piltlikult öeldes bussis, on alati parem, kui alustust on tehtud enne bussi peale minekut. Esimesel pildil näete palmikukampsuni mustrit. Kampsun on valmis ja kuivab. Kuna lõng on jäme ja kudum suur, siis kuivamine võib võtta 2 päeva või rohkem. Loodetavasti järgmisel nädalal saab pildistatud. 
Recently I have been traveling every now and then. As it is known, it is not convenient to strat a new knitting project on a buss, to put it in a figurative way; it is always better when you begin prior to taking a bus. The first picture features the pattern of the cable jacket. The jacket is finished and drying. As the yarn is thick and the garment is large, it will take 2 days or even more to dry. I hope to get proper pictures next week.
Nüüd näitan, mida alustasin. Väga lihtne, lakooniline kudum. Kaalusin igasuguseid mustreid ja loobusin, ei ole pitsimustrituju. Lõng on Teetee Primavera (meriino ja siid). Ma ei oleks ise niisugust lõnga ostnud, aga kunagi sain Teetee firmalt honorari lõngas. Pakuti just seda lõnga, värvikaart on nagu on, nii et jäin halli juurde. Lõng on oodanud oma aega päris pikalt. Nagu näete, reljeefne ripskude paistab hästi. Lõng hargneb/lõheneb suht kergesti. Proovilapp ei veninud ega tõmbunud kokku pärast pesu, kuid ikkagi jääb küsimus, kas selline pehme lõng ei lähe kergesti topiliseks.
Now I will shaw what I started. This is a rather simple, laconic knit. I was thinking about all kind of stitch patterns and decided against them; apparently, I am not in the mood for lace. The yarn is Primavera by Teetee (merino and silk). I would not buy this kind of yarn but once I got my fee from Teetee in yarn. I was offered this yarn and the colour card is not the one that would give me choice difficulties, so I opted for grey. The yarn has been waiting for quite a long time. As you see, the texture of the garter stitch is well defined. The yarn splits relatively easily. The swatch did not strech or shrink after washing but still the question remains whether such a soft yarn would easily develop neps.

Anna, I really like the texture of the first knit and the second knit looks promising. Sometimes less stitch pattern is more.

Lidia, thank you very much. I quite agree with you about "less is more".
