Knitting at Vacation
Posted on January 6, 2009 - Filed Under Dress, Knit
That’s the progress of my dress. I brought it along to the resort last week and managed to knit a few rows there. It’s a lazy-do-nothing-4-days vacation, so I had some time for knitting. Besides that, the place was windy and it’s nice to be knitting outdoor.
I’m so slow at knitting this dress, but then, what’s the rush?
Project Progress: My Dress in Creamy Filatura Di Crosa Pasta Yarn
Posted on December 3, 2008 - Filed Under Dress, Knit, Project Progress
I’ve only knitted about 12 inches of this dress in Creamy Filatura Di Crosa Pasta Yarn. It’s kind of slow as I don’t knit everyday now. Even if I do, there’s only one or 2 rows before I call it a day. I’m too tired to stay up for knitting, and the weather is so nice for a good night sleep. 
Anyway, I’m not in a hurry to rush for this dress and any of my pending projects. Those yarn balls can wait…

A picture speaks a thousand words.
Yes! My top in Schachenmayr Nomatta Fiesta and Lily Yarn is done! Nice or not?
Project Progress: November 2008

It’s been a few months since I update all my projects, so I’m going to do it now. I’ve completed my tops in Schachenmayr Nomatta Fiesta and Lily yarns, as well as Gedifra Oasis cotton yarn. When handing in them over to the knitting shop days ago, I bought some yarn balls for my new projects.
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.

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.
The crochet dress design
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.
My Knit Dress in Creamy Filatura Di Crosa Pasta Yarn
Posted on October 29, 2008 - Filed Under Dress, Knit
I have a few projects on hand, but my knitting progress has slowed down a lot. I don’t knit much but only a few rows before bedtime. That’s the only time I have for knitting these days. Previously, I used to knit in the car, but these days, I have to navigate by looking at the map so that we don’t get lost on our outings in Bangkok. LOL! On normal days, I am just plain lazy. 
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…
Working on This Top…
Posted on October 13, 2008 - Filed Under Knit, Top
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!
My Boring Top in Gedifra Oasis Cotton Yarn…
Posted on September 15, 2008 - Filed Under Knit, Top
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 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.
New Knit Tops for Me
Posted on August 21, 2008 - Filed Under Dress, Knit, Top, Project Progress
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 will work on them until the end of the year.
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.
A White Dress for My Gal
Posted on August 21, 2008 - Filed Under Dress, Knit
I have totally forgotten to write about this project, until the day of complexion! It’s going to be a new dress for my gal for the next Chinese New Year. I know, it’s still very early for CNY, but judging from my busy days here, it’s best for me to knit it as early as possible.
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.
The Multi Color Tee…

Nice or not? LOL!
