Green & Yellow

Well I have just finished knitting the jacket and blouse for my daughter Melissa.Sent the jacket for the zip to be sewn and got it back today. Couldn't wait to ask her to try it on. She was looking so tired ,what with waking up at 6 everyday and going to tuition until 6 in the evening.She only reach home by 7 something,had her dinner,shower then do homework and going to sleep only at 11. Poor thing!The picture I took of her made her look like a walking zombie.




Now I am onto new knitwear for Michelle. I told her I bought some yarns and I am going to knit a few blouses for her. She was so excited and kept asking me to take photos of the yarns and blog quickly.



The pattern for the green blouse is simple and nice but the one for the yellow is a bit tedious. I thought of giving it up but the girl at the shop ask me to give it a try. But if it is going to be difficult I will choose another pattern and redo it altogether.Michelle is excited about it and ask me to hand it over to her friend who is in Kuala Lumpur for holidays and take them back to Perth for her.Well I hope I can finished it in time.

I can't show you the pattern for the yellow blouse yet .I only started with a few rows and I am finding it a bit difficult. Let me overcome the problem and I will show you later.

Another year has gone by so quickly. 2006 is past and now we welcome 2007

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!!

well Christmas has passed and both my daughters Michelle and Melissa had their presents. I told them to put on theirnew knitwear and I took photographs of them . They look so lovely and they put on their model pose. Here they are:





Do they look pretty????

Okay new projects for the new year. Right now I am knitting a long sleeved short jacket for Melissa which is zipped in front.




I will show you the finished product later on. Another project I am working on is a blouse for Melissa with Katia colourful cotton yarn which I bought from Lincraft in Perth last year.




These two projects will keep me busy for the rest of the month. Chinese New Year is next month , will have to do a lot of baking .So I hope I can finish both the knitwear for her to wear during Chinese New Year.
