Part of the reason why I didn’t update my blog for such a long time is I’m stuck with this boring top of mine in Gedifra Oasis. It’s so boring, I can just doze off knitting one centimeter a day.

Working of the back part now
 
I still have at least 5 inches to go before reaching […]

New Knit Tops for Me

Posted on August 21, 2008 - Filed Under Dress, Knit, Top, Project Progress | 2 Comments

I used to update my projects on monthly basis, but maybe I won’t be able to do so now. I can’t knit or crochet as much as I did when I was in Ipoh. My life in Bangkok is busier than I thought. However, I still have more than 5 projects on hand, and I […]

My flower crochet top looks weird during the “making process”, but after joining up all the individual flowers of 2 sizes, you can almost see the top now.

Do you still remember my silver top with Saint Gold yarn and 4.0mm knitting needles? It’s completed 2 weeks ago and I wore it to a dinner last Saturday. It fits me well and everyone said it’s nice. I was worried that it’s too shimmering for me, but if I pair it with black trousers, […]
