I think the Tilted Duster is one of my favourite knitted garments so far. It’s in a beautiful Tomato red colour of the Cascade 220 yarn, it’s warm because it’s wool, not to mention the lovely pattern. It’s really easy to follow and a lot of times I just knit in front of the TV [...]

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 used a different yarn compare to the wool the original pattern called for. I was thinking short sleeves combined with a turtlenet look should be wear in the summer! The summer net from Crystal Palace Yarn was a sale I’ve got from Knitomatic. What a sale! (while I was looking at Knitomatic’s blog, they [...]

This Surplice Bodice Camisole is a pleasure to knit. It didn’t take long to finish….I was just slow and I didn’t have time to upload it because I was away on vacation. The yarn is very nice as well….the bamboo yarn from the SWTC. The yardage was great in one ball (like 250yds) so I [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The long dragging baby blanket is finally ready! I started working on it probably 3 months ago. Then I was on and off on the needles with it. About 2 months ago I started to get serious because the gift recipient is coming to this world sooner! She is little Erika, my girlfriend Lillian’s new born [...]

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 [...]
