Leafy lace cable top is finally completed. I managed to seam and crochet the border this morning. I like it very much but DH thinks that this FO is a bit messy. He can't seem to find the leaves. How about you girls, can you all spot the leaves?
This FO should have finished earlier but because it got a bit boring. Well, at least now I managed to complete knitting it. It's knitted using 5 balls of Katia Capri cotton.
My next WIP, the diamond shawl is heading to the frog pond. I don't really like the colour of the yarn. I think its a bit pale and probably because I have knitted with it once. Well, probably I'll keep the yarn for future projects.
I've bought a knitting book sometime back from Brenda. The book is publish by Ondori and its call Summer Knit.
Here are a few designs that I like.
I'm attempting one of the design from the book (not the above). I will do a swatch and see how it goes. I'll post more about it in my next post.
P.S. : Handknit168, the diamond shawl is a japanese pattern. So sorry, I can't recall it is from which magazine.

Doreen, your leaf tank top looks much better than the one in the magazine. Of course I can see the leaves, maybe because I am in love with leaf patterns at the moment!

I don't think it's a messy top at all, in fact the leaves pattern could be seem very clearly in your picture and it's such a pretty top.
Hi Doreen
That's so fast- didn't you cast this on on our April 1st meet up??
Did you change the number of stitches in the end??
It looks real good.
Love

Thanks for your info about the diamond shawls. I also like your new knitting book and should search in Hong Kong. My FBS is about 60" in width.
Yeah I think your top is lovely. Sometime men just don't see the stuff we see.
Yes, yes, I can see plenty leaves. Nice top!
It has a nice fit and i love the pattern "with leaves"! ;)
