Please do not jump to any conclusions when you saw the title 
. Firstly, sorry for the lack of post. Knitting has been a pretty slow progress and I’ve been lazy. Mum is staying with me at the moment and she’ll be here for another few more weeks. Love it when she’s around 
. Everyday I get to eat really nice and yummy food!! And I don’t have to cook too, especially after coming home from work!! 
Mum’s the BEST!!
A few weeks ago, I finished knitting a little baby hoodie for Sophie. This is the second pattern that I’ve ever knitted for babies apart from the BSJ. Thank God it’s quite an easy pattern too, no seams, and it’s knitted from the top down. Lastly, I’m just glad it fits her well. I don’t have a photo of her modelling the cardigan. So hopefully, her parents will take a nice photo of her wearing the cardigan one day .
Pattern: Easy Baby Cardigan by Diane Soucy
Yarn: 1.25 skeins of Bendigo Woollen Mills Luxury 10 ply in Leaf
Needles: 4.5 mm
Finally I can do a few loads of laundry and hang them in the clothes line since it’s not going to rain the next few days. Yippee!!

This week I’ve something green to show you and I’m sure Cindy will be very happy First stop, I’ve knitted BSJ #2 for a friend of ours. It is their first child and they have decided not to find out about the sex of the baby. So, I can’t really knit something pink or blue. I went to Spotlight to get some baby yarn but didn’t quite like the range of colours that they have, or shall I say, I actually couldn’t find the colour I wanted. Therefore, I settled for something cream in colour with specs of colours here and there. This way, I can actually brighten it up with some really bright coloured buttons. This is the 2nd time I’ve knitted the BSJ and I must say, I’m always very fascinated with this pattern. It is just so easy and cute too!!!
Pattern: Baby Surprise Jacket by Elizabeth Zimmermann
Yarn: 2 skeins of Panda Baby Lustre 8ply
Needles: 4 mm
Now, since it’s Tuesday today, I’m sure you know what’s coming up next. This time I’ll show you a pair of Nine West heels. They are my no 1 favourite brand for heels here in Australia although they are oh so expensive but they are oh so pretty and gorgeous!!!
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

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