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.

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.

Winter Bloom

Left: My Bloom
Right: Bloom from Knitty (I love this picture!)
Light, soft, yet so romantic. I'm so proud to wear it.

'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'.

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.

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...

Fetching
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
