Matching

Jesenas su mi bile jako privlačne ove boje sirove vune, pa sam poželjela jednu cabled kapu i efektan cowl u toj kombinaciji. Inače sam primijetila da normalni ljudi obično kupuju komplet kapa-rukavice-šal u istoj boji, i to koja se slaže s kaputom. Mi pletilje se ravnamo nekim drugim kriterijima, pa na kraju izađem iz kuće s kapom u jednoj boji, rukavicama u drugoj, i šalom u trećoj, plus šarena torba, naravno isto handmade.
This fall I felt very attracted to the colors of raw wool, so I wished for a cabled hat and a cute cowl in this comination. I noticed normal people usually buy a set of matching scarf, hat and gloves. Us knitters go by some different criteria, so I end up leaving the house with a hat in one color, gloves in another, and a scarf in yet another, with the addition of a handmade colorful bag.

Tako sam kupila prirodnu nebojanu vunu Sheperds own, što mi se taj čas činilo kao dobra ideja. Pipala sam, pipala i racionalizirala „pa ne bocka puno, a prava vuna sigurno najljepše grije“. Kad sam napravila kapu, uvjerila sam se da zaista fantastično grije, i onda se bacila na cowl.
So I bought a natural, non-dyed wool Shepherds Own, which seemed like a good idea at the time. I felt it, and felt it and rationalized „it's not too pokey, and real wool will keep me warm“. After I finished the hat, I found out it really keeps me warm, so I went on with knitting a cowl.

Međutim, iako se ne sjećam da mi je kapa u početku smetala, nakon nekoliko tjedana počela me bockati i svrbiti i izluđivati. U međuvremenu sam došla do malo više od pola šala, ali me prošla volja ta pletenjem, odjednom mi se čini grozno neudoban. Tako da sam ga spremila na spavanje, a ja se bacila na drugačije projekte, dok mi se opet ne učini kao dobra ideja.
However, although I don't remember the hat bothering me at first, after a few weeks it started to itch and drive me crazy. In the meantime I had already knit more than half of the cowl, but the itchiness of the wool made me loose interest, all of a sudden it seemed awfully uncomfortable. So the project went to sleep until it seems like a good idea again.
