Slacker

Ooops. It’s been almost 3 weeks since I last post anything on my blog. I’m such a slacked!! :mrgreen: However, that doesn’t mean I haven’t been knitting. I’m just lazy taking pictures and blogging about it. Hahahaha. :roll:

Anyway, here’s the 1st FO. I bought the yarns from Knitting Inspirations sometime last year and finally it has been knitted up into a Beret. Just in time for winter!! :wink: I actually knitted this beret when I just came back from my KL trip. My hands were so itching to knit!! This only took me two days and I was just so happy to get back into my knitting mojo!! By the way, I modified the pattern so that I can knit it in the round because I hate seaming!!

Tweed Beret

Pattern: Tweed Beret from Jo Sharp Knit Issue 3
Yarn: 1.5 balls Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed
Needles: 4.5 mm and 5 mm

The 2nd FO is actually my first pair of knitted mittens/gloves that I knitted sometime last year!!! Hahahahaha. Totally forgot to blog about but better late than never I say!! Anyway, I used some leftover yarns and knitted the hand/wrist warmers from the “Last-Minute Knitted Gifts” book. This was a really easy knit. I needed a pair of these fingerless gloves because the air-con in my office is freezing cold!! Now I can keep my hands and fingers toasty warm :cool:

Pink Hand/Wrist Warmers

Pattern: Hand/Wrist Warmers from Last-Minute Knitted Gifts book
Yarn: 1 ball of Spotlight Basics 8 ply Pure Wool
Needles: 4 mm

Last FO for the day is Wisp. I used thicker yarn and bigger needles as I want this to be a wrap/stole instead. This is a wedding gift for my colleague who will be getting married this April 5th. Purple is her favourite colour and I hope that she will like this present. It is a very simple mindless knitting. I ignore the eyelets as I didn’t need the buttons. Halfway through, I was getting a bit sick of the pattern. Hahahaha. I’m glad it’s finish now!!! :grin:

Wisp

Pattern: Wisp
Yarn: 1 cone of ColourMart Silk 32/120NM DK weight (Lavender)
Needles: 6 mm

Well well well…3 FOs in a post. I guess I’m not really a slacker after all?? :twisted: By the way, in the last photo, can you see that big fat butt??? :lol:

    Oooh the beret fits you very nicely :)

    I’m considering knitting my friend a wedding gift too, but am so afraid I won’t make deadline !! :) How long did it take you to do Wisp?
