Here is another pair of booties that I knitted for my baby gal. The yarn turned out to be nicer than what I expected. :) It is a nice and simple knit.

A New Chapter of my life

I am moving into a new chapter of my life, a totally new experience, eager and looking forward to it. Finally DS is cleared now I have to start my shopping list.

Here is the very first hand made item for my gal. There are more on its ways :)

Yarns used : Catania for the bootie (beige) & knitpicks shine sport for the lace (grey)

Pattern: Ruth's Perfect Baby Booties (I change the pattern to knit it round and the knit sts are changed to the purl sts instead due to my mis-read of instructions)

WISP

This was completed like at least 3 or 4 months ago. However I only started to take it out to block and wash two weeks back. I like how it turn out to be after blocking except the pointy edges.. guess it might be time to get some blocking wires..


Pattern: WISP from Knitty
Yarn Used: Zephyr
Color: Aegean Blue
