Another sleeve to go!

So what? I finished one sleeve as I expected yesterday! Yay!!

And just casted on for another sleeve..... :-)



 
 
 
Gorgeous knitting needles.
 
When I was a Uni Student in Brisbane, I used to browse this knitting and yarn store called Lincraft.
 
One day I dropped in, I saw this beautiful pair of needles that I wanted to buy in every sizes.
 
I wasn't sure what size of needle that I would often hold in my hands but figured it would be 4 mm.
 
Thank God.
 

 
 
Pictures this time shows true color of the yarn. That's why people prefer to use better camera and daylight.
 
But it's actually more green... or emerald if I can say,,, more minty color it is.

This time, I'm going to make it!

 
 
well, I have this syndome called never-be-able-to-finish-even-one-project.
 
Sigh........
 
 
 
well, I'm having fun with my boys after I quit my job and moved to a new town.
 
My two boys are now all going to the child care and kind of got familiar going there and getting use to go there.
 
But, on the other hand they still want more of their mom's love.
 
so every afternoon I get to go out to the play ground or anywhere they want to. Why not? The weather is soooo pretty almost everyday and husband comes home always very late.. :-(
 
 
So, here are some pictures of my lovely boys.
 
 
 
 




 
 
 
And again about the syndrome I have...
 
hahahahaha,
 
I once casted on for Clara's dress with this yarn then yarn weight,,,
 
I didn't like it at all, so I frogged it and casted on again to make my son's cardigan.
 
still I am not too sure if it is going to be my first son or second one... ;-)
 
Oh, Gosh, I really like the yarn, the generous yardage and the dreamy color!
 


 
 
 
I guess the back part is going to be done by today and probably cast on sleeve rather than front..
 
 
 
And guess what?
 
I went to the gym to do some work outs and had this superb lunch.
 
Grilled chicken and lots and lots of olives. toasted wholemeal bread cheese on top... Nom Nom...
 

 
 
I hope all of you have wonderful day today!
 
 
Seeya! ^-^

Clara dress work in process-

So, I have a very good friend still stays in Brisbane with her husband and a daughter.

I always promise to myself to knit something for her daughter - her name is Jiwoo.

So, I tried to make maile cardigan for her and kind of stopped in the middle.. I didn't like the color and the feeling of the yarn,,, well,, then I tried to find some other pattern for her..







I once purchased the yarn from luna grey fibre arts and this is called Orion and the colorway is Glacier.

First when the yarn arrived I could not believe how pretty they were! all dreaming!!




So I casted on 260 stitches to have size2-4 with 3.5mm needles. I followed some other knitter's tip from Ravelry to figure out how many stitches to co first. But I'm a little bit worried if I have too many stitches with this yarn... Well, nobody will know until I finish it.. Fingers crossed!

A new house for four of us :-)

My husband had applied for the new job position in a very different city called Gimcheon in Gyungbuk province, and basically it has nothing there.

But anyway me and my family members decided to move to that city since the new company offered my husband a job.



Hi, all! I don't know if anyone out there read my blog or not, I would like to say hello to you :-)


I have packed every yarn that I had from my previous place and I ended up having 7 boxes full of winter yarns that I couldn't giveaway.

The weather changed dramatically since we moved to this city and I'm planning of making my self a light weight cardigan. I wonder what sort of yarn or pattern that I sould adapt. I'd like something easy and can go any clothes cardigan,,, and also something bright and light.


So I had a little look and here is the list...


Darling emma by joji..

Still light tunic


I have very not so dark orange but it's kinda melange orange cone to work with.. Give me your opinion,, What should I knit for the next item?
