This is BSJ #5 and I anticipate this will be the last BSJ I will be knitting for this year, unless some of my friends are pregnant and have not told me so
. Anyway, this is the brightest BSJ that I’ve ever knitted and I absolutely love the colours!!!!

Yarn: 4 skeins of Anchor Magicline

Anyway, I hope both the Mummy and baby will like this cute little jacket

I didn’t realised that my last post was on the 1st May and we have now almost reached the end of the month. Gosh, what have I been doing the for past few weeks? Well, obviously there has to be knitting involved right?
I have a few friends who are pregnant at the moment and I spend two weeks knitting my favourite baby pattern, which is the famous BSJ (aka Baby Surprise Jacket). This is actually the 3rd and 4th time I’ve knitted this pattern and since I didn’t want to bore myself too much by knitting the same pattern twice in a row, I decided to add a few extras just to keep myself interested. I’m glad that the end results turn out ok. Now I just hope that the recipients will like them as much as I enjoyed knitting them

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

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!!
