Feather and Fan ---- Unblocked




Pattern: Feather and Fan Comfort Shawl

Yarn: Twilleys Freedom Spirit

It's too big to stay in a picture. ^_^

I'm not a big fan of triangular shawls, but the pattern is easy enough for me to have a try, although I almost gave up in the middle (the rows became longer and longer and unbearably longer...)

Warm Up



Cabled wrist warmers, hope she will like them!

 

All About Squares


 
Argosy from Knitty, such a pleasant pattern!

Knitted with Debbie Bliss Merino DK.

You Forgot Your Spoon!



Thanks for the multicolour thread.

And yes that's a fingertip which holds the spoon, I find it difficult to tell in this picture.

It's a ... Baby!


 
Becks refuses to know the sex of her baby beforehand, it's impossible to predict whether it's 'blue' or 'pink'.

I think this colour is safe for either.

Knitted with Alpaca.

-------------------------

UPDATE:

The baby has arrived!!! 10:15 am Friday 23rd Feb. 07. A girl!

Her name is Phoebe, yes, PHOEBE!!

Little Top -- Yes, I Said 'LITTLE'



This was knitted long long time ago.

The pattern was passed onto me from a local Doll's House Club member, I used 1 ply wool and changed the collar a bit (because I really couldn't figure it out from the pattern).

I love the 'cable' on the front. :-)

Knitted for Swap






I knitted the red mittens for TinyHaus (an artist in Seattle) to do an exciting swap. And I think it would be nice to have a matching purse, so here it is.

I'm glad to know that they've settled down well across the ocean.

Let's Knit, Shall We?


 
Yes they are just normal pins.

The needles I use to knit miniatures are no thicker than these, just much longer.
 



Flared Lace Smoke Ring



Heartstrings' pattern. I did not do as many repeats as the pattern calls for, since I prefer a 'neck warmer' thing more than a hood.

Hand Maiden Lace Silk (pure silk), Rose Garden shade (a friend's leftovers, it took me ages to rewind the yarn).

The colour looks paler in the picture than in real life.

My First Hand Carved Stamp



Carved yesterday on eraser. I do need a 'v-shaped' knife.

Given that I don't have any proper equipment, I'm quite satisfied with the result.

:-)

Still look fresh, don't they?

Crinoline Lady Tea Cozy ---- Well, Not the Prettiest one...




I can't help feeling sorry for her. Poor thing, it looks as if she could do with some make-up.

(The green ring on her arms is her muff, in case it's difficult to tell. And there are openings on both sides of her skirt for spout and tea pot handle.)

Winter Bloom

Sunday Monday, Raining Days...


Rain, rain, go away,
Come again some other day.

'M' For 'Multidirectional Diagonal Scarf'


Patten found HERE. My first 'multidirectional' project.

Nice and easy, I quite enjoyed it.

'Mrs Beeton' Version 2 ---- Berry Berry


Second pair of Mrs Beeton.
Louisa Harding's Impression (Mixed Berries) and Rowan Kidsilk Haze (Dewberry) used.

The L Word

'Mrs Beeton' ---- Pink Kisses



There are so many pretty pictures of Mrs Beeton wrist warmers, each pair's full of personality. I couldn't help trying my fingers on it.


Louisa Harding's Impression and Sublime Kid Mohair used, and I was too lazy to decorate them with beads.

Swinstry Mittens



Pattern from Louisa Harding's 'Winter Muse Landscapes'.

I consider myself a patient person, but still, small projects suit me more, that's why I'm so keen on 'one ball projects' as these mittens. I was a bit worried when I finished the first mitten, as the pattern called for 'one ball', but it looked as if there wasn't enough yarn for the second one. Fortunately, it turned out alright. But DON'T waste any yarn, you know what I mean.

I quite like the 'Impression' yarn, it's so soft, yet changes color in light.


'My So Called Scarf'






A popular pattern from HERE

A wool yarn named 'Maya' used.

I call the stitch 'bamboo leaves', 'Ove and Lucia' says it looks also like chicken footprint, while su.Zen told me the stitch was actually called 'herringbone'.

A Taste Of Lace


A snowfall lazy, lacy, light,
So silent, icy cold, and white.

Lady in Blue


I'm on gin diet, so far I have lost 2 days...

Berry Hat


If you wear your hat on the side of your head,
You'll have a lazy wife, 'tis said.
If a ragged coat or slipshod feet,
You'll have a wife who loves to eat.

Lady Eleanor, Finished!


Real fun project!
I thought the fringe bit could be a pain, but it was so enjoyable.
Mmmmm, I shall knit another one, definitely!

He Wants a Penguin, So Penguin It Is


Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright.

Inka Scarf for a Little Boy

With some fancy yarn, you just don't need any fancy stitch.
It'll color up my little nephew's winter. Nice and easy.

Lady Eleanor, Goes On and On......


Am I the last one in the world who's still knitting 'Lady Eleanor'?


The Entrelac pattern is so addictive, I think I will just go on and on and on...

Teacup Fairy... er...A Modern Version






Whether a mug, cup, or kettle
They plant blooms wherever they settle.
It could be a jar, a box or a shoe.
All we discard, they magically renew.
They use roses and daisies and violets too,
To make fairie treasures for me and for you.


The top and the skirt were knitted with Knitty's 'Blythe Gear' pattern.

The blank face gives her more plasticity.

A Childhood Dream



I didn't have many dolls when I was a little girl (dolls didn't interest me all that much then).

But my parents did give me a lovely baby doll with red dress, which had curly hair, and could close her eyes while lying down. She didn't have a name, but I still have the vague memory of sleeping with her company.

Thanks for the tiny Blythe, the sweet memory trigger...
