For the past week or so, I’ve been busy knitting some gifts. One of them is a special request from my cousin sister who flew all the way from Melbourne for my wedding last month. When she visited my house, she realised that I’m a knitter. So of course she asked, “can you make me a scarf since winter is just around the corner?” Sure sister!! I hope you like this scarf since you choose the yarn from my stash .

Anyway, the yarn is thick and thin textured. I tried some patterns such as My So Called Scarf but I frogged it. That pattern just doesn’t go with this yarn. I decided that garter stitch is the best but I was thinking, it will be such a boooooooooooooooooring knit. So, I search around in Ravelry and found the perfect pattern!!

Pattern: Yo! Drop It! from Stitch ‘N Bitch Nation
Yarn: 3 balls of Plassard Versatile (Colour Bain)
Needles: 8 mm

Secondly, Paul and Hsien is going to have a baby girl I’m so happy for them!!! So I thought of whipping up something girly and something cute for the baby .

Pattern: Baby Surprise Jacket
Yarn: 1 and 1/3 balls of Patons Smoothie
Needles: 4 mm

After I finished the little jacket, I still have some leftover yarns. Therefore, a little girly hat sound like a good idea .

Pattern: Ellen’s Ruffled Hat
Yarn: 1/3 balls of Patons Smoothie
Needles: 5 mm

Don’t you think this pink baby set is sooooooooooooooo cute?

Pattern: Stripe Hat With Garter Stitch Brim from Patons Book #5000
Yarn: 2 ball of Patons Big Baby 4 Ply, color #2541 (blue) and color #3911 (green, yellow & white)
Needles: 1 pair each 3.25 mm and 4.00 mm

I finally finished knitting the baby hat from a pattern I found in this book. This little hat together with the pair of little bootees will be given to my friend who is about to give birth sometime early next month.

Pattern: Plain Garter Stitch Bootees from Patons Book #5000
Yarn: 2 ball of Patons Big Baby 4 Ply, color #2541 (blue) and color #3911 (green, yellow & white)
Needles: 3.75 mm

Bought two balls of Patons Big Baby 4 ply a few weeks back when Lincraft was having sale!! Also, a good friend of mine is pregnant with a baby boy so thought of knitting this cute little bootees for him. The yarn is just oh so soft!!! :laidback:
