Finally I’ve got some knitterly updates for all of you and it covers from head to toe!!! Where do you want me to start first? Top to bottom or bottom to top? Hmm…time to make a decision. Ah well, I’ll start with the project that I finished first.

Hang on!! Before that, let me present you Blueberry Leo, modeled by my hunky hubby!! Yes, he was home and I managed to persuade him to let me take a picture of him in the sweater. Perfect fit!!! Not bad for a first man sweater I saw!!

Back to FOs, the No 1 project is of course the Lady Eleanor Entrelac Stole for my dearest Mummy, knitted with the gorgeous Noro Silk Garden. Love the colours of the yarn but I’m not too fond of the little pieces of twigs in between the yarn every now and then. They annoyed me a lot but the colours just won me over. Therefore, I shall persevere. Entrelac isn’t as hard as I thought it would be. It’s actually very easy once you get the hang of it!! Wonder why I didn’t start the project earlier as I bought the yarn ages ago!!! Anyway, Mum loves it but she left it here in Perth!!!!!!!!!!!!! DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pattern: Lady Eleanor Entrelac Stole from Scarf Style
Yarn: 9 and 1/3 balls of Noro Silk Garden (Colour #205)
Needles: 6 mm

Since I only used 9 and 1/3 balls of the Noro Silk Garden for the stole, I used the leftover yarn for Calorimetry. I modified the pattern a little bit by casting only 80 stitches and I’m very glad I did that!! It’s a perfect fit for my small head now!! Now I can use it whenever I have bad hair days!! Hahaha .

Pattern: Calorimetry
Yarn: 1/3 ball of Noro Silk Garden (Colour #205)
Needles: 5 mm and 6 mm

Lastly, I’ve finally managed to finish the remaining of the Waving Lace Socks after such a looooooooooooooooong time. I put it aside while knitting Lady E as I was hoping to finish it before the big day.

Pattern: Waving Lace Socks from Favorite Socks
Yarn: The Knittery 4ply Sock: Merino Cashmere (Orange Blossom)
Needles: 2.5 mm

Now I’m planning to start another pair of socks using my stash yarn but don’t think I’ll cast on yet as I’ve got two projects on hand at the moment. Anyway, what type of heel do you recommend? I’ve done a few pairs using Wendy’s Gusset Heel for toe up socks. What are the other easy type of heels for toe up apart from short rows?

This photo was taken a few years back, when coco was still a little puppy and we will still renting a place in Highgate. She was soooo tiny back then!! Now she’s a fat little girl!! :dead: Anyway, when we were renting, we have quarterly house inspections and I absolutely hate that. You can’t really see me in this photo but I was actually scrubbing and cleaning the toilet. I think my furry babies wanted to help :yuck: This photo never fails to bring a smile to my face. Aren’t their furry bums cute?? :up:

Tian’s been back in Perth for more than a week already. We have been spending a lot of quality and “us” time being together, and of course with our furry babies as well. Hence my quietness as I hardly go online during the night time. Also, work has been pretty hectic the past few days with some Project Managers away on annual leave, some on sick leave, some on business trips. I was basically the only one left in my department and I was holding the fort!! :dead: :dead: :dead:

Very very stressful when things seems to go wrong when I’m all by myself!! Somebody misses his flights and I have to find other alternatives so that he still arrive at a certain place at a certain time, get woken up by his phonecall at around 4 o’clock in the morning, some client needed someone to work for them at a very short notice and I have to source that someone out, including flights and accommodation!!! :dead: :dead: :dead: I seriously think I should get half of my Project Managers’ salary!!! Don’t you think so?? Especially when I’m doing their job!!

Anyway, we’ve bought our air tickets to go back to KL to visit my family this end of August so that’s something I’m quite looking forward for the time being. We’ll be taking our pre-wedding photos and I really do hope that it’ll turn out great!! :up:

Lastly, I hardly took any photos lately so I’ll just share this photo of my furry babies, taken with my Nokia phone. Aren’t they cute together? :heart:

Hi all. Firstly, I would like to thank you all for your continuing support and I really do appreciate it. In order to motivate myself back, I finally decided to upgrade my blog to Wordpress 2.1. Bear with me for the time being as there are still some bugs that needs to be fixed as I realised that the smilies aren’t appearing properly.

Apart from that, I’m sure you’d notice that there has been a makeover. I’ve used the same header as XiaoMomo’s template but I modified it a little bit as that template has been my all time favourite, even after so many years.

Here’s a picture of Momo when he was still a little puppy. This picture was taken back on his first day home with us. I’m sure you can see how cute and tiny he used to be!!!

I still remember clearly the two separate occasions where Tian and I stepped into the pet shops. The moment we lay our eyes of them, we just knew we were destined to meet them. As if faith has brought us all together. The moment both of you enter our lives, we were never bored nor seem to be lonely anymore. Although I do admit that the first few weeks, or should I said months were really hard, it definitely cannot compare to the joy you have brought into our lives. We’ve been through lots of ups and downs and I’m just glad that you’re always there for us no matter what.

It seems just like yesterday when you were so little and fragile. How I miss those moments. Sometimes I wish you would stay like that, small and cuddly.

Happy belated birthday my furry little babies :). Mummy and Daddy loves you two alot!! :heart: :heart: :heart:
