OMG! I just realised that I haven’t update my blog for almost a month now? Does that mean I’ve been a lazy girl? However, there has always been a little knitting everyday. I guess I never like to blog when I don’t have any FO to show. Now that I’m updating, I suppose that means I do have a FO to show?
First stop, there has been lots of raving about the Lincraft Bamboozle and Spotlight Moda Vera Bamboo / Cotton yarn. So I thought to myself, of course I’m not going to miss out on this and decided to jump on the bandwagon, bought myself 2 skeins of the Moda Vera Bamboo / Cotton yarn. Thought I’d tried it out as a dishcloth. I gave one of it to Julie (she’s the office receptionist…and also the Director’s wife) and just told me today that it works fantastic as a dishcloth!! I think I will be buying more of them soon??

Pattern: Reverse Miter Dishcloth
Yarn: 1 ball of Moda Vera Bamboo/Cotton
Needles: 4.5 mm
Mr Postman has been MIA (missing in action) for quite some time but he dropped by for a visit last Friday with this fantastic package from my SP!!!! This is the 3rd and also the last package for SP 11. It’s time to reveal the mystery now!! Anyway, I found out that my Secret Pal is Anne from Finland!!! Also, if you’re on Ravelry, don’t forget to give her a visit too!!


Anyway, look at all the yummy goodies that Anne has posted to me!!! A gorgeous hand knitted Swallowtail Shawl in beautiful estonian wool. Sheve even included a ball of Finnish wool, Florica that she dyed herself with Kool Aid.
Thank you so much Anne!!! You’ve been a great spoiler!!! I love everything that you’ve sent me!! Thank you again Anne!!!

Oooh…that’s not the end of the week. Hang on. Be patient. Here I am (drumroll please
), presenting to you, my third pair of hand knitted socks, the Anastasia Socks!! This time, it fits me perfectly!!! I’m a very happy happy girl!!
Anyway, the only modifications that I made are using Knitty Magic cast on and Wendy’s Gusset Heel methods, instead of the short row toes and heels recommended in the pattern.

Pattern: Anastasia Socks
Yarn: 1 ball of Lana Grossa Meilenweit Cotton 100 Maya
Needles: 2.5 mm
