Autumn Oak- mittens Syystammi- lapaset


Olen neulonut lapasia viime aikoina. Yhtenä mallina tein Syystammi-lapaset uusilla väreillä. Aiemmin niiden värinä olivat kirjavat ruskeat, joita olin värjännyt hernekuukusilla, mutta hernekuukusilla on vaikea saada eri värjäyskerroilla samanlaisia värejä, varsinkin kun tavoitteena olivat kirjavat langat. Siksi tätä tarvikepakettia ei olekaan ollut saatavilla vähään aikaan.
Nyt uusina väreinä ovat hiukan punertavamman ruskeat värit mitä aiemmin, nämä on värjätty verihelttaseitikkien jaloilla. Kolmantena kuviovärinä on lampaan ruskea ja pohjavärinä lampaan musta. Syystammi-pakettia on nyt kaupassani ja torilla.
Uusia malleja on mielessä ja kokeilussa parikin, niistä lisää sitten kun ne valmistuvat mieleisekseni.

IN  ENGLISH
I have been knitting mittens. One of the first mittens I knit Autumn Oak-pattern with new colors. Previously Autumn Oak was knit with variegated browns dyed with mushroom Pisolithus arhizus, but it's been very difficult to get similar colors from that mushroom, especially when I tried for variegated color, so that is why I haven't been able to have Autumn Oak kit for sale lately. 
Now the new colors were more reddish brown, dyed with stems of  mushroon Cortinarius semisanguineus. The third pattern color is Natural Brown (sheep color) and the base color is Natural Black. I have this kit now in my shop and at the market.
I have couple of new patterns in my mind and on needles, more about them when they are finished and the way I want them.

Autumn has been very warm here this year, there is no snow yet, but there has been frost in the ground in some mornings.  Days are short, only about six hours of daylight, but one more week to go and then the days start to become longer again.
