Okay.. since I’ve not been diligent in posting, I shall write as much as I can in this post. Much like being constipated and then finally releasing everything in the toilet.
*Ahem*
Ok… firstly, I wanna show you the recent additions to my bookshelf.
I bought Sew and Stow at a Local Yarn Store few months back. The other two were from Fishpond.
These were all bought from The Book Depository.
From top left: The Very Hungry Caterpillar for Sunshine, A Gathering Of Lace for myself, The Knitting Answer Book for Salihan.
Bottom left: It Itches for myself, Sasha and Tia (Yes I bought 3 of the same!), The Twisted Sisters Knit Sweaters for myself, A Yarn Harlot book (can’t remember the title!) for Tara and Yarn Harlot’s Free Range Knitter for myself.
All of the gift recipients have received their books safely. I also made piggy stitch markers to go with the gifts, except for Sasha’s. Because I ran out of time……… Okaaaaaaaay, I was too lazy.
Then I bought these two books from local bookstores. I’ve read The Graveyard Book and now halfway through American Gods. I’m a new fan of Neil Gaiman!
Now for pictures of my retarded dearest sister with her brand new ‘toy’!
Struggling with the ribbon.
A set of Knitpicks Options Needles!!!!! Bought from Moggy and Me. Incredibly fast shipping and excellent customer service!
I also bought extra tips for my Options set from Knitting Inspirations. Also incredibly fast shipping and excellent customer service!
Don’t ask me why I bought so many gifts for people. No it’s not for xmas. I do not believe in xmas. I just feel like giving. Hehehe.
Now for a knitted item!
Pardon the blurry pictures.
Name of project: Cabled Toddling Sox for Jade
Yarn: Heirloom Cotton 8ply
Needles: Knit picks 3.75mm
Cast on date: Some day October 2008
Cast off date: A day after casting on
Learned: Nothing.
Modifications: Nothing
Mistakes: Nadah.
This pair of socks were for my God-sis’ 4th baby, Jade’s first birthday. What a mouthful to say!
I made it in cotton so that she can wear it in summer.
Last but not least, I joined an Orange Swap on Ravelry. I just sent my package out today and since the person I’m sending to doesn’t know that I’m the sender yet, I guess it’s safe to reveal the pictures here.
She’ll be getting the package in a few days time anyway.
From top left: Organic tea and 2 balls of WooLganic merino wool from The Yarn Cafe. A bottle of orange body wash from Watsons. The paper bag contains two handmade stitch markers (photos below).
Bottom Left: Malabrigo Worsted in the Glazed Carrot colourway. A pack of Snoopy tissues and 2 orange paper clips.
Yeah, I smudged the paint of the cat on the right. 
Am out of touch with painting clay figurines! I really hope that my swappee won’t mind.
Here’s how they look like all wrapped up and ready to be posted:
Okay, that’s all folks!
I’m knitting quite a lot now as you can see on the sidebar, I have more than 5 projects on my needles which is breaking my own rules. But to hell with my rules. I’m having a baby and I’m allowed to cast on as many projects as I want! NyaaahHHHhh!
Have a great week!
