Tatta!!! I am presenting my beloved top…..Sea Silk Tank Top, original pattern….is finally finished! It’s a joy to knit with this yarn, it’s soft, light, and mmmm…..yummy. I originally had a camisole in mind, but then it didn’t turn out right because I was too lazy to calculate the lace pattern in order to decrease [...]

I had internet service problem so I was unable to log on to the internet for 5 days! What a long and tedious period! Those 5 days were like I was disconnected from the world. I didn’t realize internet is part of my life!
I made slow progress to my bodice camisole made with SWTC’s Bamboo [...]

My Plumetis cardigan is done! It’s a pleasure to be a knitting tester for Sylvie. The pattern is easy to follow, it doesn’t take much yarn to make a mid/long sleeves (less than 6 balls each of 100 meters!), it’s knitted in one piece so no sewing is required. The important thing is the lace top [...]

The plumetis cardigan I am working on as a knitting tester for Sylvie is coming along. I got to thank her for the compliments she gave me. It’s a great encouragement! Now I am at the bottom of the cardigan, but the k1p1 is just long and tedious (sorry, Sylvie!)…..my right arm almost [...]

This cardigan is knitted from top down with a round yoke. I tried to knit from down to top before like this sweater, and this drop stitch tank top. I like challenging and yet beautiful patterns, so I can’t wait to [...]

I guess my title said it all - I finished the drop stitch tank top! It’s a fun tank top to make with the drop stitch, and it was a fast one too because there’s no sleeves! I took other knitter’s advise and knitted it in round, and I just basically knit and knit stitch [...]

This is a fast project, pattern from the latest summer 07 Phildar magazine. This is my favourite colour, in a summery yarn, Kim by Filtes (again!). I used a total of less than 7 balls.
The pattern was using a combination of two strands yarns, but I was just using one strand with the Kim and it worked [...]

This was the first crochet top I did about a year ago. By then, I just started to crochet by learning the great book Stitch n’ Bitch and their tips are wonderful. By coming different crochet patterns, I came up with this original crocht tank top.
The bottom was a combo of seashells, and dc, which [...]

I crocheted this bag last year based on a Japanese pattern from my girlfriend Lillian (aka Craftlover). I was a beginner to yarn, knit and crochet so it took me like an hour to finish one square. But it’s too pretty to give up so….here we go!
It’s now spring, so I should take it out [...]

Many people had commented on the Debbie Bliss yarn collection…and I have to say, after I knitted with it, I fell in love with it! The yarn is so soft to touch and it has a layer of shine to it under the sunlight. After the Rowan Cashsoft yarn, this is another yarn [...]
