African flower motif blanket
I have few balls of knitpicks cotton yarn i was going to make a doll out of it.
But i made only one doll and i was kind of done, done making a doll.. Haha..
So i have about five different colour cotton yarn. I was making a chevron style blanket but i kind of figured the yardage won't be enough, so i switched to make an african flower motif blanket.
All the colors i have are kind of dark.. Because i used the pretty minty colour yarn to make my niece a vest, but i'd say the colours I am working with are my favourite colours.
Hope i finish it soon. I love making motif so far.

Ha! Having a second son was never easy!
I was suffering from some kind of pain on my jaw and neck, so I had to go and see a doctor.
He said it is some kind of inflammation around saliva glands but then he said it is mumps so that I had to be isolated from my children.
I'm now going through all the pictures that I took from before, missing my children so badly.
They are now at their grandmother's place with their daddy.
Miss you my pumpkins.
I'm thinking of getting some new yarn again, Lol!

Being another me at work.
For me, learning a new language is like finding a way to escape from other people around me.
I work at an elementary school in Korea, somewhere as a conversational English teacher and it is pain on the ass.
My hobby is KNITTING, and co-workers from my school around me are very closed and they think knitting as a hobby in spare time is wasting time and vertually NOT A GOOD HOBBY to keep at school.
Well, If I'm knitting at school I don't bother anyone, I don't talk anyone, and it doesn't make any noises and so on, but I still don't get that why people around me don't like me knitting just because I am a teacher here.
The funniest thing is that they were very happy if I gave them any knitted progects as a gift and even they want something more.
How could they judge what is a good hobby or not..? based on what? their own opinion?
A friend(of course among my colleague) told me not to knit from the new semester(here we begin our new semester in March) because other teachers will think that I don't do any of work.
But, Here's the truth. I teach, I make my students to work very hard, and they follow my instruction, and the level of English has been inproved, well, not dramatically though-cos this depends on the effort!
What a closed society! Reading a book as a hobby is kind of allowed to keep, then knitting is not?
In my bag I have knitting needle and already casted on the sleeve of a cardigan for my second son. It's very nice dark greenish color, and I love the yarn-it's 50% merino wool and 50%cotton, Louisa Harding Ianthe. If any of you are planning working on a baby project or some sort of spring cardi or pullover, it is the yarn, just give it a try. It knits nicely, and the drapes are even.
Today, I'm just bitching!!
