Wow, i never thought that i would meet a knitting celebrity in singapore.
I met Asa, the woman behind Asa Tricosa designs here in singapore. It was a delight to talk with her while knitting her design, Arietta. I am aleeady learning a lot from her pattern, which is slightly complicated at the beginning, but then you kind of understand where she's heading. Structurally, her designs are unique, and i really looking forward in doing this project.
Not really. Off white is not white. But it is beautiful anyways. I was surprised that the size is huge, expanded without my knowledge. I thought this is going to be medium sized ones since the pattern calls for a shawlette. Still, i love it just the way it is.
Must make a self note: not to make beaded shawl if the beads are not stringed into the yarn before the project is started. From 2 wks knitting this shawl, 1 week is used for the beading part only. Phew!
That's me. Well, actually i asked a friend to help me wind my new hanks of wool. She said she'll do it and asked my help to block her shawl. The world does need a lot of helping friends...
Faroese. I didn't know it was faroese until after i finished blocking the top edge and center. Lesson learnt.
Cobweb. Scary. Fragile. Aaaarrrggghhh...
And as you can see on the picture, my blocking wires are in the form of plant wire support, bought for 2 sgd for each 3 different lengths, total about 10 wires. Me, the shabby knitter.
I won a design after I am joining a forum for knitting shawls. Of course, it's a random winner, almost the same with door prize, but the fact that I won had made feel touched. (suddenly, there's a song "Touch" from Miss A, korean girl band, played on the back of my head. I like their lace dress in the MV by the way, and their gothic-mummy look is awesome)
I get to pick a design, from a designer who mostly do shawls from side to side. Many of the shawls that I made is top down shawls.
I'm still indecisive about which pattern I want. But hey... we'll see. Many of the pattern has lace repeats that I've been eye-ing for quite some time from Walker's 2nd treasury. But the fact that the shawls are made from side to side is new for me. This is going to be a good lesson.
Hello, I am nenengceriwis, and you can call me neneng.
I am a crafter that is disguised as a plant scientist, love working with yarns as much as working with plants. My hands are always under a constant itch to create something.
Ceriwis means talkative. In an extreme way, ceriwis can be too annoying. Pakupis is actually means hectic, while you know what it mean to be a narcissist.
Hm, does this means that I am talkative about myself being busy doing craft?
