Two Coloured Alpaca Slippers with huge flower

I have so much leftover yarn from knitting my brother's sweater. And luckily, I also had a pink alpaca yarn, leftover from one of the bolero that I knitted a long time ago.
So, I picked this pattern from Garnstudio and to make it nicer, I added the 3-tiered Alpaca flower.


I sooo love this flower pattern, will definitely make more for decorations. Maybe for candles or flower vases.
Simply gorgeous.

My Brother's Alpaca Sweater

After a really long wait, the sweater had finally completed...
It took over a month and a half in total. And I also stopped in between to work on other projects.
Now that this is done, I can move on and work on my outstanding projects (and very delayed projects).

The yarn is DROPS Alpaca, intentionally picked black to suit any work shirt.





I really like the ribs pattern on the chest, instantly transform boring black sweater into interesting.

Little Vest for Kayleigh

So, I was invited to a little girl's birthday party a few weekends ago and I decided to knit this small little bolero.
The material is really nice, soft and gorgeous colour.



The crochet border is such a highlight on this piece.

Little Black Dress for Chelsea

I knitted this little black dress for my friend's dog. I always wanted to knit a dog sweater and this one is so cute. It's not actually a sweater, it's more like a dress, with frills at the end.
So Cute!!


CUTE FRILLS!!!



CUTE PEARLS!! HAHA!!

Long Jumper in Seed St with DROPS Nepal


A few weeks ago I completed this long jumper for a friend's birthday gift. I chose this pattern because it's really cold at the moment here in Sydney and this jumper looks so warm and fluffy.
The  black colour is so elegant but yet feminine.
Had several issues with completing this jumper. First, I didn't order enough yarn, so I had to re-order them and the delivery was delayed significantly. Secondly, I had a problem with my left eye, the outer layer of the cornea came off and I had to stop knitting for a few weeks.
So, long story short, the gift was delayed, but it was completed. :-) Finally...

Cute turtle neck to protect from that cold breeze...
