More Purple Knits - UPDATED with yarn and pattern info

Lately I am crazy with purple colour.  I go to yarn store, I check out all the yarns with purple colour.  They just catch my eyes!  I have bought the Knitting Lingerie Style by Joan McGowan-Michael for a while and I haven’t got a chance to knit the gorgeous patterns until now.  The first one I started is the Surplice Bodice Camisole.

This is a beautiful pattern, and it’s easy. It’s knitted from the middle up, front and back, then sew the piece together and knit from middle to bottom. The yarn I chose is a Bamboo Yarn from the South West Trading Company. It feels soft in the ball, but when it knits up, it’s quite a garment! I believe it will drape well when it’s done.

I am also planning to knit a shrug with this yarn…

I ordered this a while back and finally it will be on my needle. I want to knit a shrug for my ex-colleague’s daughter. She’s such a cutie and she loves the shrug that I was wearing, so I have decided to knit her the same style, with the colourway that she likes.

I was also trying to finish up this pair of baby booties for my god-daughter Erika. It’s a combo of pink and purple, which her mother loves. The booties are around 8cm in legnth but then my girlfriend said it’s better to be bigger because it will be for fall/winter. So I was in the middle of frogging.

Thank you for the compliments of the baby booties! I got the pattern from here. The first pair that I saw was from Little of the Orient. It’s the cutiest thing in the world and I just love it myself! The yarn I chose is the RYC Cashsoft 4ply. It’s one of the softest yarn in the world too. Well, for those of you who would like to knit this pair of Saartje’s booties, have fun!
