It has been a while since my last post! I thought I would drop a line or two before my vacation back in March; but then all the last minute vacation planning and packing didn’t allow me to write a post; then I thought I would write a post on my trip and all the catch up both at home and at work didn’t make it happen.

Then my boyfriend and I decided our next big step in life….yes, we’re getting married! Long waited blog…now it’s finally time to update it.

We went to Paris and London for 2 weeks in March. The weather wasn’t the best because it was still cold and damp; but it was sure romantic to go with your love one to such beautiful places.

Here’s a view of the London Eye night view, with my Clapotis made with Noro of course!

I swear….if I didn’t bring my Clapotis with me, I would have been dead with coldness! 

In this period, I also finished a shawl.

This is the Abrazo with Sea Silk.  I didn’t have a lot of yarn since I bought two skeins and I used one and a partial to make a scarf for my good friend Lillian.  I was knitting as I go and I got this restult.  Pretty happy with it!  Seasilk is just so soft to touch and wear.

And on my needles, it’s a cotton blend my mom got me from HK few years back. I am working on Blithe by Kim Hargraves. Love her design.

Cotton

They came in cakes and it’s so heavy because of its weight! The owner just told my mom it’s pure cotton and 4 balls is enough to make a woman top. Without any gauge, needles, or contents information, all I can do is try. I am doubling it on a 3mm needle.

I am knitting in round since the pattern is pretty simple; but my gauge is way off so I had to modify my stitches. It’s a slow progress becasue it’s on 3mm needles and with my busy schedule I am only knitting a row or two every night. I wonder if I can finish it this summer and got to wear it once or twice before it’s over?! Wish me luck!
