The One About Inori

Sorry peeps.. Have been up to something secretive past few days. Hence the lack of posts. (Actually, it’s just an excuse for my laziness.)

I shall show you pictures of my WIPs and a FO. For the benefit of non-knitters, here’s a tiny knitting terminology:

FO – Finished Object

UFO – Unfinished Objects

WIP – Work In Progress

CO – Cast On (Started) *Also ‘Jump on’*

BO – Bind Off (Finished) *Also ‘Jump off’*

Of course, you didn’t want to know all that crap, did you?

Alright. Lets start with my Saartje’s booties.

Name of project: Saartje’s Booties for James

Yarn: Heirloom 8 Ply cotton

Needles: Addi Turbo 2mm

Cast on date: Don’t remember

Cast off date: I finished them in less than a day.

Learned: Nothing

Mistakes: None………………

This is for my new nephew, James. I also made a pair for my friend’s unborn son.

This is my Central Park Hoodie. I’ve done the back and the left front. I used a DK weight when I was supposed to use a Worsted. So I upped my needle sizes and knitted very loosely. Bad move. It’s now a little too big for me. *Sobs* But that’s alright. We all learn. The hard way.

I do love the yarn though. It’s a Filatura Di Crosa Zara. Mmmmm… Soft.

This sweater is currently hibernating. It’s for Sunshine and this is the half-done back. The yarn is also Filatura Di Crosa. Exact same one.

This cardigan is also hibernating. Also for Sunshine. It’s a pretty lace and the yarn is so smooth and shiny that my fingers get shiny too when I knit with it!

If I were to do sweaters/ cardigans, I will definitely KNIT IN THE ROUND. Grrr.. I’m sick of seaming. I hate seaming. That’s why I wised up for the next project:

This is a slip stitch sweater with instructions for knitting to and fro. But I modified it to be knit in the round. Ain’t I smart? I’ve only knitted for 4 months, you know!? Hehehe. This sweater is for Jes. Well not for her, but for her baby.

I made these stitch markers yesterday because I ran out of plain ones. I kinda like them. Hehe.

I did have a couple more FOs but I gave them to my friends. You can see Chichi (the yellow striped cat) here at Salihan’s blog. And a pair of tiny sock stitch markers for Knitnutt (Sasha) here.

I do have another WIP which is the Australian Bag Lady Swap bag. But I shan’t post it here just yet.

Okay, gotta run. Busy busy.
