Meet-Up & WIP

The KL Knitters had a mini meet-up last Saturday in one of the coffee outlet in town. This time around we have 2 new faces, Ina and Nurhanne (a Danish knitter residing in Malaysia for about 20 years now). Eventhough there were only 6 of us but it was indeed an enjoyable one. Well gals, hope that we can meetup more often.

Not much on knitting front. I've just started 2 new projects. I know I know its not me, to start 2 project at once. Its a wrap and a tank top. The wrap is quite and easy one. I'm knitting the Fiber Trends Estonian Garden Wrap with Zephyr in Sage shade. I'm now just knitting the repeats on the center section which is the Little Flowers Lace. The borders and edgings will be knitted last. At the moment it is very relaxing as I have to knit the repeats of 8 rows of lace. So I can actually knit this while watching TV. Well, this one will really take some time to finish as there are 41 repeats according to the instructions. I'm only on the 8 repeats now.

The tank top which consequently also is in a green shade. (since I can't think a name for it, I'm just going to name it Gatsby). This design is from one of the Keitodama Mag. Its pretty easy too. 8 rows of lace as well which by now I already memorize it by heart.

I think it will take me sometime to show you gals my next FO.

Flower Basket Shawl

I'm back, I've been hibernating and at last I'm back. This past 2 weeks, I've attend 2 knitting meetup. New friends and new inspiration too. There are now six of us and hopefully more will join our group. I have also enhanced my collection of yarns. There are now 3 balls of Online Eyelash Como in pastel blue in the family. I intend to knit a garter scarf with this eyelash yarn, yummy yummy.

I got a surprise news from my best friend in Penang today. Guess what, she is getting married this November. As a gift for her I'm going to knit her another garter scarf too using the same Online Eyelash. She chooses pastel pink something to match her evening gown. So, will have to get more eyelash yarn. I have to get it knit-up before May to make it for the shooting of her wedding photos.

I've started another new project. Its the Flower Basket Shawl knitted with the Peruvian Baby Silk. Rip out a few times before I can get it right. Here's the progress so far. I'm into the 3 repeat of the Lower pattern. Hope I can get it right. Does it seem to you a bit short in length as I'm into the third repeat or is it only after blocking I can get the correct length ? Have to wait and see I guess.

Thats about it for the time being. Its late now, have to get some sleep it's will be an early day for me tomorrow.

See ya.

My First Knitting Meetup

Hooray....... I get to meetup with Lyn and Mona at last. I've been looking forward to meetup with fellow knitters in Malaysia and at last I get to meetup with them last Saturday afternoon. Our meetup was held at the Dome at Bandar Utama II. The meetup start at about 2.30pm and end at about 8.00pm. Although this is my first meetup but it is great and fun. Mona has to bring his son along and he is real cute.

Later, Lyn brought me to Brenda's place (which they have been buying yarn from). That place is nice. I managed to get some yarns too. This is the yarn I bought. It is a mixture of yellow in two tones. I will use it to knit a short sleeve sweater later when I finished my curent project.

Not much have been done during the weekend. I only managed to knit up a bit on my latest project which is a sweater from here. Here is the progress.

Oh yes.... I managed to clean up my yarn box (I kept all my knitting stuff in a box). It was an easy to task cos there not much (most of them are yarns that I bought but still have not managed to start yet). While I was doing guess who keep me company?

Yup, thats my cat, Baby. He is playing hide and seek in one of my knitting bags. Isn't he cute ?
