The yarn I bought have finally arrived. You know, the one I bought when I was wasting too much time pining for it?.. The one I bought while I was on my Yarn Diet? Yes, that one. I didn’t buy any yarn after that so I suppose its a justifiable purchase. Like the way 1 [...]

My fellow knitters, this is what Sync looks like currently.
Sorry for the bad lighting and massive cropping of the pictures nowadays. I have misplaced my tripod and was unable to keep the camera straight. But this will all change very soon! I’ll get back to that. Now we’ll talk about Sync.
I’m at a dilema. I would love to [...]
Distraught (EDIT: Sheepish)

I decided to post about my WIPs. Its kind of a way to make me remember them and stop picking up new projects. I even found another project that I’ve forgotten about – the Zigzag ones knitted in Tonks, one of my handyed yarn.
Hi. We were about 3/4 done when Kessa forgot about us. She [...]
Happy Mid-Autumn!

Warning: no knitting content.
Yes, the Mooncake Festival is today. Perhaps I can persuade my sis to have some tea and mooncake around the pool. We did that last year and it was pretty nice. I even took out the traditional lanterns from last year.
This is the ‘Frosty-skinned’ mooncake. Its a (kinda) new version of the [...]
Oatbay and Flashing

The pattern for Oatbay is up!
You can access it at the ‘Free Patterns’ Page.
As this was knitted around a year or two ago, there might be slight discrepancies for some things (like, the amount of yarn required is estimated.) It is, however, extremely close to being the actual steps I took in knitting it. I did some [...]

I dyed some yarn yesterday. I restrained myself from dyeing too much.. So theres only 3 skeins. I borrowed a camera from my friend but I couldn’t get the laptop to detect any SD cards. But you know what? Theres always the scanner.
I really like Summer Memories and Autumn’s Herald. I have a [...]
Amazed

I’ve always been amazed at how similar ideas appear online all the time. Even when the people are not in contact. I’m not talking about design ideas, but Pig Latin. Some of you might realise that when you rest your mouse over the pictures of the designs I posted, the name of the design will [...]

Someone asked a simple question that sent me reeling today. She (a Singaporean knitter too) asked something along the line of “what are you knitting now?” I’m quite used to that question. I was going to reply when suddenly, I realised that I was not actively knitting something. I haven’t knitted much since I scrapped [...]

How I love thee!
Romney goodness from Amy at Spunky Eclectic. How I admire real crafters. =)
Stats:
Breed – Romney
Weight – 4 oz
Meterage – app 70m, 2 ply
Romney is currently on the top of my list to recommend to new spinners. It was so easy to spin. Its easier than Corriedale. I’ve never seen a wool so [...]

I am aware that I haven’t been writing here much. There haven’t been much crafting around for me these days. I had come to this “write post” page many times over the past few days only to find that I have nothing to write about.
I spent the last few days planning and packing up my room. (Ok, [...]
