It's taller then me

Here are my lacey project after blocking.

Hanami

This is my second stole after clapotis. I am looking forward to this stole when i first started to CO even when I finish kniting it. I am happy that I had a new stole to use. B........U...........T..........., after blocking the length of the stole stretches to 92". OMG!!!! The stole is even taller den me. Seems like I had to use it as a scarf instead of stole as it is really way too long.




Kiri

Love the pattern and color. The size did increases after blocking. However, it still looks small on me.

I'm back

Phew... Finally I am back to blogging. Had been real busy with work recently. 15 days of continuous working and training... At least things start to get back to its normal pace now.

Back to knitting news.. I had completed both lace projects in my last post... Here is a pix of them...


Realize that I had 4 projects that are not yet wash and block. Time to get into action soon... Maybe this weekend... Hmmm....Would post up some pictures again after blocking...

My long await gift to myself is finally here.. Nectar I love all the patterns in this.. had been browsing through again and again. Just cannot decide on which one to CO...Maybe I should finish a few of my WIPs first...

Lacey

I had been in a lacey mood or rather even since i started knitting. If you had noticed, most of my FOs are non-cable except one bag for my bag. It is not that I dislike cable but I just know like the way of knitting cable. :) Maybe someday I would work on cable. Hmmm maybe a bag or scarf. Just see how it goes. Being in lacey mood, I CO another shawl again. Together with my buddy regg. :) This time round it is Kiri. It had been in my to knit list until one or two week back. We decided to CO.




Beside Kiri, Hanami is still in progress. Soon it would be done before this weekend I hope.

Boring me

One boring day, one boring me took out a ball of yarns and two pairs of needles and started knitting a brainless pattern (all knit sts). All I do is to switch between the different needles.

After one week, here is the FO. :)

Beads Craft

Besides yarns, I has a hobby of collecting beads as well. When I purchased them, I had an intention of making them into accessories as gifts or for myself.

Here are some of my "realisation".

Hb had called me to create some hp chains for his colleagues (some = 12). :P

Clapotis

I finally managed to complete my clapotis just in time for my mum to bring it to my distant relative. I took me a long 9 months to complete it. It is a simple knit would definitely proceed to do another one. The only thing that can be improved on is the length of this stole/scarf. It is a super long one (84 Inches) after I steam iron it. steam iron is really an easy way of blocking. lol

Yarns used: Mecury brand - arylic yarn
No of balls used: 3 (should use 2 and 1/2 instead)
Length: 84"
Width: 18"

Another one....

Opps, my last post was more than a month ago. Time really flies. Since I started my new job, Life is hectic and it is going to be more hectic soon. More tasks and more responsibilities but that doesn't really equate to my salary :(. I still had alot of back dated post to update especially on my Japan Part 4 and 5. I had selected the pixs but not yet uploaded them. I would do it soon *kicking my own a** to update...

I had been knitting hard to complete my WIPs from last year. Here is another one that I completed. It was completed knitting quite a while ago but lazy me did not sew the rubber band for it. Hence recently, I decided to crochet the trim instead of sewing the rubber band.

Yarns used: Miami

I had also knitted a simple ribbed hp cozy for hb as his current plastic hp casing keeps cracking.

Yarns used: Some acrylic yarn given by my MIL

Here are the HPs chains that I had made as gifts for my ex-colleagues.
