Next, I’m working on a new wrist/arm warmer pattern with my favorite handspun designer’s yarn…it’s a self striping handspun with handcarded Merino wool, silk noil, flax, tencel, sparkle and some Wensleydale lamb locks. It’s so fun and yummy. I’m loving how the stripes coming out.
was totally exhausted from the biz-bootcamp I took @ the nova studio… got a lot to catch up on orders… probably won’t have much time to knit until next week.

have been knitting a lot of random, smaller projects after I completed the Feb Lady Cardigan…. just haven’t had time to take good photo shoots of all of them…
here’s a sneak peek of my first own pattern - chunky cowl #1, using a stitch I made-up as well… super soft & cozy… there is a male version, too… just need to take pictures… =P coming soon……
oh, and the pattern coming soon, too! ^_^

Me & Mr.!!, originally uploaded by mi*2.
from the new toy on-line : Face Your Manga
They don’t quite have my hair.. I picked the closest, my sides are longer than the back.
But I had FUN creating them. ^_^

yay.. the ruffle scarflette was sold from mi SHOP.. it was a bit of a surprise as I thought no one would buy my knits =P …so excited to know someone appreciate it… I have to quickly come up with a new tag (now that it’s not for mi SPA stuffs) and new packing ideas… it is now already on it’s way to Kuala Lumper… YUP, the order was from Malaysia.
now, I have all new ideas for versions of the ruffle scarflette. =P
I came across another fun new technique for handweaving chunky yarns to a scarf…. quickly play a bit with my stash of blue sky bulky alpaca/wool and came up with this skinny neck warmer… I think it looks quite stylish =P… it’s now available at mi SHOP
hmmm, more ideas for another fat & chunky handwoven scarf…..hopefully soon…
but currently, I’m still on my “feburary” lady sweater… it was taken me quite some time, but it was because I couldn’t get on it most of the time, tried my best to knit a bit every night when I can… I think it’s coming along quite cute… have to decide on the body length and then move on to the sleeves.

It was actually finished weeks ago… just never got the chance to picture it on him. After some serious blocking, it fits perfectly *cool* on him. =) He’s growing up way too fast!!
Pattern: Twist by Jillian Moreno
Yarn: O-Wool balance - Vermont Organic Fiber Company
I knitted the body as seamless, super easy! Love the yarn. Perfect for the Cali weather and not-at-all itchy. Planning to knit a 2nd vest for Mr. Maybe when I’m done with my current cardigan.

YAY!! We’ve finally met, after 3 years of emails, IMs, blogging and seeing your face on flickr.com! Even though it was only like 2 minutes, I felt I’d already know you a lot more!… Wierd… hah?
I hope you had a good time in SF and hope to see you again soon~
I had a blast at Renegade SF. So many great things happened. Now all exhausted, tired and just want to lay on the couch and do nothing… maybe for another 20 hrs before I need to soap again. =P Crazy but Excited!! You can see more of my booth here.

What do you think?

Here’s a snap shot of what on my needles now…
The yarn was my first trade via ravelry from katinkaknits. I’ve been searching for cotton cashmere for a while because of me really can’t wear wool, plus it’s too warm for the Cali weather. I was so excited to spot these on ravelry. They were first planned for the Lush and Lacy cardigan. But the gauge didn’t quite fit so I quickly switched my plan to another project I’ve been eyeing on for some time… the bulky cable cardigan…. I think it came out pretty nice. =) Can’t wait to get it complete and wear it at once. ^_^
]]>+ finally finished the sweater for Mr. … it was a delayed V-Day present since I was so sick right before… of course, now it’s all warmed up … he’s still trying to wear it though. ^_^
+ starting another sweater for myself… now it just feel so strange w/o any knitting project on hand… (promise will post some images later)
+ taking a break on shipping… so then I can focus on some business admin stuffs and some personal changes…
+/- ?? yea…some personal changes will be (hoping to be) happen soon… a little scary… but it should be all good. Will tell more when I have something confirmed.
]]>… I need to get better soon. =(
