Flirty Daisy Flounce Scarf


I love this pattern so much!
Very recommended to try this, my recommendation is to use a short 3.0mm needle, as you have to turn A LOT!
Initially I used 35cm 3.0mm needles and my arms movement wasn’t very smooth. I immediately changed to 3.00mm circular needle (because I don’t have short 3.0mm needles) and I can feel the rhythm improved.





The yarn is DROPS Kid Silk. I don’t need to say more about this yarn, such gorgeous high quality yarn. The shade that I used is Pearl Grey.

It might take a while to finish this, but trust me, it’s so worth it.
Available for purchase in my MadeIt store.

Embrace Kid Silk Luxurious Wrap


I bought this DROPS Kid Silk yarns by mistake.
It’s a fortunate mistake indeed, just look at this beautiful shade of purple. J

I remembered I knitted this gorgeous wrap for a friend and I really like the pattern, check out this free pattern from Garnstudio, so I knitted a scaled down version of it using this Kid Silk yarn.

The lace leaves pattern is just beautiful, and so addictive once you get the hang of it!
Available for purchase in my MadeIt store.








Personally, I like this wrap a little bit narrow, so I adjusted the pattern to reduce 1 repetition of the lace leaves. (Cast on 93 stitches instead of 107)

Little Greg Double Breasted Cardigan


So I have this big bag of Villawood Eureka yarn in the most handsome shade of blue, and I decided to knit up this beautiful cardigan. 
The pattern is really hard to resist, I’ve been waiting for the right yarn to try this pattern.
The pattern recommends Cleckheaton Country yarn in green shade, which looks super amazing. It makes the cardigan looks very classic and elegant in the picture.






Complete the look with gorgeous buttons and you’ll have a winner.



Available for purchase in my MadeIt store.

LBC a.k.a Little Black Cardigan


For some reason, I don’t have a black cardigan. Well, I’m not a big fan of the colour black in the first place, so, that’s probably why I never wanted to buy a black cardigan.

A few months ago I came across this beautiful cardigan pattern from Garnstudio and I fell in love with it (yes, I fell in love with patterns, surprise surprise).

So, without any hesitation, I bought the recommended yarn DROPS Baby Alpaca Silk. 
When they arrived, I couldn’t believe how soft they are. As their name, it’s combination of alpaca and mulberry silk.

I had a few hiccups with the pattern. It’s probably because of the black colour. Sometimes I lost track of the pattern and forgot to make the eyelets, d’oh! There are 1 or 2 lines that are missing the eyelets.
Good thing it’s black so it’s not that obvious.
