Little Manisha (Felicia‘s daughter) turned one today and we had a nice picnic by the river in East Perth. Thank God the weather had been kind to us today as it has been raining for the last few days. We were quite lucky to get a bit of sunshine every now then. Had such a lovely time. Felicia, thanks for inviting me!!! 
Anyway, since it’s her first birthday, of course I had to knit something for her birthday 
.
Pattern: Tropical Lily by Georgie Hallam
Yarn: 2.75 skein of Anchor Magicline
Needles: 4.5 mm
I love knitting for babies as they’re such cute and quick projects!!! Anyway, hope they’ll like the little present and that it will fit her well 
. Here’s a photo of the little birthday girl. Isn’t she cute?
It’s been a crazy month as I’ve been busy knitting away!!! I’ve been so busy knitting that I almost forgot to show you the socks that I’ve finished last month!!!!! 
Pattern: Los Monos Locos / The Crazy Monkeys by Jennifer O’Sullivan
Yarn: 0.83 skein of Zen Yarn Garden Bling Yarn (with 2% Silver)
Needles: 2.75 mm
I actually knitted a pair of Monkeys back in 2008 but it turn out a little tight for me so I ended up giving the pair away to my friend. I promised myself that I will knit another pair of Monkeys for myself one day and that one day turn out to be 3 years later!!! However, as I didn’t want to make the same pattern again, I decided on the purl-less version of monkeys and this time it fits me perfectly. Gotta love the Wendy’s gusset slip stitch heel. Short row heel just doesn’t fit my feet well at all unfortunately. So far this year I’ve knitted 2 pairs of socks for myself. The next 2 pairs will be for my in-laws 
.
Last but not least, I just finished a little baby vest yesterday and it took me only 4 days to knit it!!!!!! This little vest is way too cute!!! The only thing I modify from the pattern is replacing cables with a heart stitch pattern instead as I know cables will slow me down and I had to finish before today .
Pattern: Milo by Georgie Hallam
Yarn: 0.4 skein of Bendigo Woollen Mills Luxury 8 ply in Baby Blossom Colour
Needles: 4 mm

I bet Cindy will love this post because everything is green in colour!!!!
Firstly, I wanted to show you one of my latest pairs of shoes. Hehehehe. It was a Christmas Present from DH for last year and it has taken me this long to take a photo of it.
Don’t you think it’s so pretty?? It’s a pair of jelly flats and it’s so comfortable!!! This is definitely one of my favourite casual shoes at the moment.
Secondly, there was a baby shower last Sunday for two of my lovely pregnant friends. What other pattern would I knit apart from the cute little BSJ???
Pattern: Baby Surprise Jacket by Elizabeth Zimmermann
Yarn: 4 skeins of Anchor Magicline
Needles: 4 mm
I’m a bit sick of the pattern at the moment because I’ve knitted 7 of them now?? But they’re just way too cute!!!!!!
