Katu - finished!

Finally i am done! Went to see kessa last weekend and showed her the shawl...

Easy knit and also easy to modify... Good for beginner who wants to play around with short row techniques.

Distantly - binding off

I was going to bind off using picot edging, but it seems that the yarn is too fluffy so the picot came out so huge. I'm just binding it off using a normal stretchy bind off. Hopefully will finish soon.

My first 100 gram - not that far yet

Ok, not that far yet, but looking good!

My first 100 grams - on my way

In progress right now is my falkland merino tops on my top whorl spindle.

Wish.me.luck

Distantly...

While waiting for my Katu dries, i am back with my distant shawl...

I didn't expect to like the sequined yarn... I'll try manual addition o sequins next time...

Over enthusiastic

I was on a taobao spree last week and bought yarns and needles from china. lotus yarn with its cashmere-silk, pure silk, wool-cashmere... Hmmmmmm...

I bought a set of needles, consist of 11 sizes of 5 different type of needles: 25 and 35 cm dpns, plus 40, 60, 80 cm circulars. The 11 sizes ranges from 2 mm to 5 mm. All for around SGD 30. What a bargain! I saw it on ebay before, cost around USD 26+. I didnt get a chance to buy it and the selles went MIA. So, knowing my BIL is going to shanghai, I immediately browse taobao and buy without thinking too much. 

Anyways, when i was buying the needles, i didnt realize that i actually bought 2 sets of needles until they are shipped. I was totally amazed with my stupidity. Lucky, after i post it on ravelry, one of my friend is willing to buy (it's a great bargain. Who sells 55 pairs of aluminum needles for only SGD 30?). So... Yes... I was too enthusiastic when buying the needles.

I have a lot of needles indeed...

Katu - in progress

So slow... Why i knit so slow?
