Knitting - Baby Snow Boots

They're not an actual pair of snow boots of course. :-)
Just look like one.

Knitted them in a spare yarn of Wendy Peter Pan in a beautiful colour:

 

 

Crochet - Sweet and Short Child Cardigan in Freedom Spirit

Another cardigan, made from different yarn, Freedom Spirit.
Just look at the beautiful colour...

A little fancier than the Panda Magnum one.

 

 

Surprisingly, it was completed in 1 day only, the whole day to be precise.

Afterall, that's what a lazy Saturday means for me.

Project Gabriel - Tree Decorations Mini Xmas Dolls

Finally, after 1.5 weeks of effort, I've completed 10 mini Christmas dolls :-)
Here they are, for you to enjoy...

Snowman:

All of them together, soon to be displayed on my Christmas tree:

Patterns are from Jean Greenhowe's Christmas Treasures book.

Crochet - Summer Cardigan in Panda Magnum

Panda Magnum, I have a lot of this yarn. I've used them for the child cardigan last month and now I've made this cardigan for myself. And, I still have 1 ball of yarn left! I just can't get rid of them, can I? Hahaha... Have to think of what to make next with this yarn. *sigh*

Anyway, it didn't take me that long to make this, 5 days only.
Pattern is from Patons Summer Serenity book.

And finally, I got to buy the buttons that I've wanted for a looong time, so happy... :-)

Knitting - Summer Dress in Drops Safran and Peliza

I knitted this dress last winter, I guess it's ready for summer now...
The material is from Egyptian cotton, Drops Safran, with a touch of glittery yarn, Drops Peliza.

I remember it did took a while for me to knit the intarsia pattern, but who can give up when you know how it's going to turn out.

 

The dress is also a combination of knit and crochet, the crochet borders were made individually and then joined together.

The top of the dress is a lace pattern, love the colour...

I recalled it took me a few months to complete the dress. :-) 

Knitting - Autumn Diamonds Jacket in Twilley's Freedom Spirit

This jacket is probably the most complicated project I've completed. The diamonds are knitted individually and picked up along the way. It took me 2 months to complete this jacket (and a few bruised fingers)

The original pattern is from Garn Studio, knitted in Muskat Soft (Egyptian cotton), but I changed it to Twilley's Freedom Spirit because I love the colour of the yarn.

The diamonds:

I'm glad that I'm getting better at sewing the pieces together, very happy with how the collar turned out:

 

 

 Twilley's Freedom Spirit has amazing colour:

 

Unfortunately, the weather is getting warmer now, so, have to wait until winter next year to wear it. :-)
