Oops. It’s been 10 days since my last post. Guess I am quite a lazy blogger sometimes. I can always blame the weather as winter is almost here. It always gets dark when I reach home after work and it’s too dark to take any nice decent photos in the dark. I’m so full of excuse right?
Anyway, here’s a FO since, OMG, last month?? I wish I have one FO per week but alas, I’m such a slow knitter . By the way, this is the first pair of socks that I knit for my DH and it took me more than 7 weeks!! I don’t think I enjoyed knitting men’s socks. They take a lot longer to finish as they have more sts per round and more rows to knit too!! However, I’m glad to have finish this pair. Hope DH will wear them after all these effort!!

Here’s a photo of the evening sky at around 5 PM. Look at those swirly clouds. I miss the clear blue skies. According to the weather forecast, we might be getting some thunderstorms tomorrow.
Since I started knitting about 4 years ago, this is the first time I’ve knitted something for my Dad. Daddy, so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long but I hope that you will like this pair of socks . Now you’ll just wait to wait a few more months before you can put them on and keep your toes toasty warm .

Once, a colleague of mine said this when he found out that I knit, “Why are you knitting? You’re not old. Knitting are for Grandmas!!” I’m pretty sure a lot of people who are not too familiar with knitting or other handicrafts have the same opinion that only grandmas are knitters. How stereotypical. I came across this video in Ravelry and I really think this is one of the reason why the whole world should knit .
February is the Month of Love. Two lovely friends of ours whom Tian and I both known since we’re in Australia, decided to tie the knot on Valentine’s Day. The wedding was beautiful and I wish them lots of love and happiness in their wedding. Here are some photos to share with you as pictures speak louder than words .
Last but not least, there have been a little knitting being done but very slowly. I managed to finish a pair of socks for my dearest Mummy and I’m glad that it was a perfect fit .
