Daily KIP

So, last night i was commuting back from my night class and i was taking MRT. I pulled out my orange blanket project and started to knit for quite a while. I looked around and i found out that everyone in the MRT are busy with their smarphones except me and one family whose parents are conversing with the children. 

So i took this picture:

Every single person. Even the one standing in front of me. The lady with the red bag was holding her cell with 2 hands. The guy with black shirt was adjusting his position. You can see his cell on his left hand. The young lady with hot pants was also busy with her iphone. The guy with khaki trousers was bot much different. And many more... Including my lefts and rights...

Same pose

Remember that asian (read: japan, korea, china, taiwan), likes to pull the V sign on their photographs?

I found that knit.wear magz pull these similar poses in one magz shoot. Amazing.

Hmmm... Stylist issue or model issue? 

Or it's just standard pose?

Just how many needles?

Knitters are known to feel insatiable towards yarns and needles.

I just realized that i have all the needles that i need (but not those above 6 mm).

Let's see. I have:

11 sizes of 3 different length of metal circular needles. That means 33 pairs.

11 sizes of 2 different length of metal dpns. That means 22 pairs.

11 sizes of 2 different length of bamboo dpns. That means 22 pairs.

11 sizes of 3 different length of bamboo circular needles, that means 33 pairs.

This and that, scattered in singapore and indonesia. And dont ask me to count my crochet hooks yet.

At least i have 110 pairs in my hands right now.

And i think, i have just enough if i dont do big needles knitting. :D

Tdf 2014 - half way

I think i am already halfway there.

The left over fiber is not that many anymore, and total i already used about 6 pulls (means when i pull the fiber to separate a chunk of it to spin, that what i call one pull) of both colors. Well, i am still at the 6th of the orange color. 

I cant believe that i am actually going tp work 50 grams only, and i may be able to finish it without changing the spindle, and without splitting from one end to another. I havent decided yet what to do with this yarn. Buy the fact that i wont need to ply it after i finished this process (err... I ploed already with the navajo ply - ply on the fly), is actually making me happy. Hoping that this yarn will behave :D

I am thinking to finish it this weekend. Cross my fingers!
