This is my second FO for the year 2012. Hmm…two FOs in four months. That seems to be very very slow. Yes, knitting has been very slow for me lately. Sometimes I think I might have even lost my knitting mojo? I feel a little bit uninspired, unmotivated…or maybe I’m just plain lazy? 
Anyway, I decided to knit this shawl for my colleague’s 50th birthday. I normally don’t knit for all my colleagues of each of their birthday but since this is a significant milestone for her, I thought a little something handmade will be a nice gift 
.
Pattern: Holden Shawlette by Mindy Wilkes
Yarn: 0.38 skein of ColourMart Cashmere/Cotton/Angora/Merino/Viscose 3/15NM fingering wt shiny cotton in Azufre
Needles: 4 mm
The only modification I did to this shawl was to omit the picot bind off as I was running a little out of time. I did the stretchy bind off instead and I think it still looks ok. Yellow is her favourite colour (I checked with her first 
) and I do hope that she will like this little shawlette.

Here’s my first FO for the year 2012!!!!! I actually finished knitting this about one month ago but alas, my sister aka photographer weren’t around, hence the late blog post. I cast on (CO) this scarf/shawl when I was on the plane flying back to Kuala Lumpur last November. It took me more than 2 months as I haven’t been knitting much.
Pattern: Hitchhiker by Martina Behm
Yarn: 1 skein of Wollmeise 100% Merino Superwash in Wilder Mohn
Needles: 3.25 mm
In fact, knitting has been rather slowly. Hopefully, I will have at least one FO each month?

Just realised that I actually have an FO to show since October but have completely forgotten about it!! This is the first pair of socks that I’ve knitted for my father-in-law (FIL). I hope it fits him well. Now I can finally post this pair and the other pair that I’ve knitted for my MIL. Hopefully these will keep my feet and toes toasty warm as it’s usually pretty cold where they are at this time of the year .

Knitting has been pretty slow lately. I’ve no idea when I’ll be able to post my next FO…
