At last, I have a FO to show and it’s for myself
. It has been quite sometime now since I knitted anything for myself and my oh my, this project took me quite awhile to finish. It took me approximately 4 months from start to finish but there were other projects in between and I did went away on a holiday for a few weeks. But I guess the end result is worth the wait and the effort.


Pattern: Featherweight Cardigan by Hannah Fettig
Yarn: Less than 1 cone of ColourMart Mohair/Merino 2/16 4ply wt in Fresa colourway
Needles: 4 mm
The only modifications I made to this pattern were:
- Replace M1 with KFB instead.
- Knit until 10” from underarm to bottom edge before the edging.
- Worked feather and fan stitch (4 repeats) for body/hip edging instead of rib.
- BO with 4.5 mm
However, If I were to knit this pattern again, I might knit less rows before I reach the underarm sections as it did grew a bit bigger after I blocked it and also knit a wider edging for the collar. Nevertheless, I’m still happy with the end results.

Combat boots are definitely back in style this season. It’s funny how the trends kept on returning!! I remember I used to have a pair of combat boots back when I was just a teenager!!! Ahh…those were the days. Of course, now I’ve to add a pair to my current collection!!!

However, after buying this pair of combat boots, I’ve no idea how to style it up. It remains in my closet for more than a month until my recent trip to Japan where I bought a new coat and a pair of jeggings. This is definitely one of my favourite casual look for now
.

Coat: H&M
Jeggings: Uniqlo
Shoes: Tony Bianco Gravel
Bag: Burberry Blue Label
We took a few shots but somehow, the doggies always remain in the photos. Don’t you love them to bits?

This is BSJ #5 and I anticipate this will be the last BSJ I will be knitting for this year, unless some of my friends are pregnant and have not told me so
. Anyway, this is the brightest BSJ that I’ve ever knitted and I absolutely love the colours!!!!


Pattern: Baby Surprise Jacket by Elizabeth Zimmermann
Yarn: 4 skeins of Anchor Magicline
Needles: 4 mm
Anyway, I hope both the Mummy and baby will like this cute little jacket
