Light and Shadow

Not an artistic photograph, just an interesting moment.

Long Long Time Ago...

It was an afternoon 3 years ago, I sewed little pieces of cloth together to make a miniature bed spread. It has never been used since then - my only patch work trial.

If it's not so time-consuming, I shall make more to use as coasters.

Go Bathing

etsyjean79, he wants to go as well!!

I couldn't knit him a bath puff, so cut a piece of sponge instead. :-)

Spring Baby

Another spring baby's on the way (he/she is expected to be about 10lbs)!!!

You Know What It Is

Yes, I too, can't resist the temptation.

I'm always the last one to knit a fashionable pattern, the reason is so simple - I don't trust my knitting skills. I have to wait, wait, wait until others have successfully done it, then carefully give it a go...

This 'capecho' thing is so pretty and different, hopefully I will manage.

Little Snowman

He won't like warm winters.

Pink Po

Old dress really, but new for her.

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...)

Did a Little Painting...

Here's the bigger version I knitted before.

Little Elf

I think this is my limit...

Little 'Mrs Beeton'

Pattern based on Knitty's Mrs Beeton.

My real-sized versions are here and there.

My Little Pony

Rose Basket Tea Cozy

I knitted a 'real' sized version before.

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.

 

Little Green Mittens

Lace mittens knitted for tiny hands :-)

Thank you Diem!

All the way from Seattle!

Xmas Minis

Something you won't put on your Christmas tree ---- you will surely lose them!

 

In Blossom

Embroidered on 6cm X 8cm calico, with THOUSANDS of french knots (the only stitch I can perform).

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.

:-)

Midwest Moonlight

Pattern from 'Scarf Style'.

Pure cashmere, soft like a dream.

Petite Cardigan

 

'And I'm wearing matching knickers as well, which I won't show you!'

Sweet Something

Actually I made them years ago (with Fimo).

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

 
Left: My Bloom

Right: Bloom from Knitty (I love this picture!)

Light, soft, yet so romantic. I'm so proud to wear it.

Cottage Tea Cozy ---- Miniature Version

How many angels can dance on the point of a needle?
 

My First Needle Felted Dog

I got a punctured finger while creating him.

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.

---- by Mariam Kirby
 

Benny, How Big Are Your Grandpa's Hands??

Super chunky mittens for Benny's grandpa.
They look like oven gloves/bath mittens. Haha...

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.
