My boy’s scarf

I’ve completed this project last night, and since it’s crochet, I only need 3 days to get it done. I mixed some leftover cotton yarns with Zara wool yarn in maroon, so it’s not too boring for my little boy.

If you are interested in crocheting a scarf, here’s the crochet pattern.

The crochet pattern for my boy’s scarf

 My girl’s crochet dress

It seems like my girl doesn’t like her new knit dress in Victoria yarn. Maybe it’s white and even if there are some details, it doesn’t look appealing to a little toddler. I will post about the dress some other day…

So this time, I decided to crochet her a dress, with lots of holes. Thus, she will have to wear it with a pair of tights then.

But the dress won’t have long sleeves because she doesn’t like it. I haven’t decided on the color combination with Tropic yarns, but the base color will be apple green.

Which combination is better?

My Poncho

I have a lot of knit and crochet tops already, so I thought I might just do something else. A poncho might come in handy if I want to spend winter in colder places. So, I will crochet myself a poncho with Victoria cotton yarn and mixed with Zara wool yarn and other loose yarn balls I have.

I still have a knit dress, a scarf and a tee for hubby to go. So, I guess I will be quite occupied with my projects for the next few months.

I guess I will return some yarns to the shop as I don’t feel like working on Zara wool yarns. I have sensitive nose, and I keep sneezing when knitting with Zara yarns. Thus, I will send them back to the shop when I fly back soon.

As for the time being, I’m knitting myself a dress with creamy Filatura Di Crosa Pasta yarn. The dress should look like this…

…as shown in my previous post….But I have only done an inch!

I will be very slow in this project as I keep referring to the knitting pattern. It’s different for every row until the first full pattern is completed. I guess this project will keep me occupied for a few months…

I’m so lazy to update this blog late, maybe it’s due to me working on a single project at a time instead of knitting a few ones at one go previously.

This top was started with  Schachenmayr Nomatta Fiesta yarn with a 3.00mm needle, but I don’t like the effect of the yarn. Thus, I changed it to Lily Yarn in yam color and mix it with a ribbon yarn by Dual Grace Nikkelon’s. It’s a double yarn top but it’s not heavy nor thick.

I’ve completed the back part of the top and I’m knitting the front piece now. I guess it will be done by November, judging on how limited time I have for knitting!

Working of the back part now

I still have at least 5 inches to go before reaching the 22 inches marker. Gosh, it’s so boring, and dull, and monotonous.

The cable design on the front piece is not as nice as I’ve expected…

The completed front piece

I’m not sure what will it turn out to be, but I can’t give up now as it’s almost done. Let’s see if the knitting shop can help me up upon completion. Gee…it’s such a pity that the top didn’t turn out nice from this comfortable Gedifra Oasis cotton yarn.

My 2 latest projects are these…

A Knit Dress in creamy Filatura Di Crosa Pasta yarn.

Yarn: Filatura Di Crosa Pasta ribbon yarn

Knitting Needle: 4.00mm

The dress looks like this…

I’m not sure if I will follow the dress accordingly yet. I’m not a big fan of long sleeves, so maybe I will not knit the sleeves.

A Knit Top for Work

I shop a lot in Bangkok, but I haven’t bought any knit wear. I can just knit one for myself huh? LOL!

I’ve knitted 9 inches of the front part of the top in Gedifra Oasis cotton yarn, and I might need a few more weeks to complete it.

Yarn: Gedifra Oasis

Needle: 3.5mm

Other than these 2 projects, I have to knit for my kids and hubby too. So, my knitting passion continues without fail in Bangkok.

It looks very plain in white Victoria cotton yarn huh? Thus, the lady from the knitting shop will do some embroidery on the dress with all my colorful loose yarns. I can’t wait to see the end result too. This dress will be at the shop until I fly back to Ipoh next time. So, it’s going to take a while before the next update.

Nice or not? LOL!

I completed this project last Saturday, and handed it to the knitting shop for joining up. I don’t join up most of my projects now because I have too many pending projects on hand, and the knitting shop is willing to help me out. The more projects I have, the more yarns I buy, so now you know why they are willing to help? LOL!

This multi color tee in Schachenmayr Nomatta Fiesta is oversized for my boy now, so I might just keep it away until his birthday or Chinese New Year. He has a lot of knit wears now, so he won’t mind me “hiding” one away.

Frankly, I have lots of fun knitting this tee. It’s more  challenging than most of my knitting projects, and I have to glue my eyes on the knitting pattern all the time. I think my concentration improves a lot after completing this tee. LOL!

I got the crochet diagram from a book and it’s pretty simple to follow the crochet pattern. That’s why I’ve always preferred knitting and crochet books from Japan, they are way much simpler than the English version.

Since I don’t know if she’s expecting a girl or boy, I chose the green cotton yarn by Victoria. I’m not sure if she will like the color, but the booties are completed now.

It’s a bit too plain, but that’s what my mother requested. Just add some crochet flowers or ribbons onto your hat if you wish.
