Once Bitten, Twice Not Shy.....


Spirogyra is a very nice pattern to knit with, and plus the "oh -so" soft and pastel sweet colour yarn makes it a perfect combinations !! I SIMPLY can't resist not knitting it again.

My second time using the pattern for my 2-at-1-time on a 32" Addi Turbo Circular Needle, with my own calcuations and design, the slanting shell stitch pattern only starts to sprials around in opposite side on the leg.

Spirogyra

I love the slanting shell stitch pattern as it spirals around in opposite directions of the fingerless gloves. There is always something being added to my knit wardrobe for our holiday. This pair is one of the June holiday project. The yarn is very soft, makes it very comfortable on my hands.

Pattern : Spirogyra from Knitty.com
Yarn : Bella Baby Cloud
Needle : Clover 4mm circular needle

Tufty

There is always a new knitwear for the holiday. This is what I knit for our June holiday in Gold Coast, Brisbane, Australia - a cardigan. I love the eye-lash yarn, although the fibers is nylon, but the feel is soft, light and it's silky looking hence Jayne loves it very much.

Yarn : Sirdar Tufty
Needle : Clover 5mm circular needle

Not the Japanese rice


My home-made lunch - Teriyaki chicken, broccoli, and rice balls wrapped with Yaki Nori, baked seaweed.
These rice balls are not cooked from the Japanese rice grains, it is the Thai rice grains that i uses to cook everyday. I am so surprised that the Thai rice makes such nice Sushi.
