My family knows that I don’t really have a green thumb. I’m totally not interested in gardening at all, especially weeding!!! My family came over for a visit sometime in August last year. They actually planted quite a lot of lovely flowers and a tree.

In order to proof that I’ve been putting a little bit of effort, here are two pictures of my beautiful yellow rose bush (a tiny one) and my little lemon tree. I’m very proud of them

I attended my colleague’s wedding last Saturday. On Thursday, I realised that I didn’t have a matching bag to go with my dress. I don’t like those handbags that you carry around the shoulder as I find them quite inconvenient, especially for a cocktail style dinner. I decided to whip something really quick and easy. This little pouch is knitted using two strands of yarn held together (one from Moda Vera Trinity and one from the colourmart yarn).

Pattern: Soft Drawstring Pouch from Last Minute Knitted Gifts
Yarn: Moda Vera Trinity and ColourMart Silk 32/120NM DK weight
Needles: 5 mm

I improvised a little on the bag. I didn’t use the icords as per the pattern but I used ribbons instead

After about one month’s break, Tian has finally went back to work and flew to Kalgoorlie this morning. I’m beginning to miss him already and I’ll continue to miss him for the next four long weeks. We had a great time together during his break and I enjoyed every second of it. I wish I could spend more time with him

Alas, now I can get back into my knitting rhythm as it has been a very slow progress when Tian was around. However, that doesn’t mean that I have no new FOs!! Drum roll please

Since I made knitted my first ever French Market Bag for my sister, my mum wanted one as well. Being her daughter, of course I knew what colours she’d like. Anyway, the bag is still with me and I’ll only be able to give it to her this February. I hope she likes the bag.

By the way, do you have any idea how many French Market Bags I have knitted?? Four!!! And none of them are for me!! Therefore, I’ve decided to make one for myself, in my favourite colours of course

This is the 3rdd French Market Bag that I’ve knitted. This bag is getting more popular!! Anyway, this bag is for my dearest friend, Eveline, for helping us out on our special day. This is just a small token of appreciation and I hope that you will like this bag

This bag has been on my “knitting list” for years, I mean since I learned how to knit |-) . Now, I finally made it and it’s so easy!! Though it can be a little bit boring at times, 200 sts per round and it’s just knit knit knit knit knit. It’s good for :tv: knit. Anyway, I had to felt this bag in the washing machine twice as it didn’t felt much the 1st time around. However, as for the 2nd time, it shrink a lot!!!
