knitting in progress

Here are just an update on my FO & WIP for the month of April. First off, is my Hubby's first handknitted sock. He actually love it and enjoys wearing them, he wears it at the office, and he said that when wore it at the hospital while I had my operation and sleeping on it he didn't even get cold (as we all know, sometimes the airconditiong the hospital can be too cold). He wants me to make him another one and even requesting to make him a vest as well.

Papa's First Handknitted Basic Stockinette Sock

Materials used:
Yarn: Lion Brand Sock Ease
Needle: 3mm Addi Turbo
Date Started: March 10, 2009
Date Finished: March 29, 2009

I've mentioned this one on my recent previous post, made this when I just got out from the hospital, whip this one up in just two days, actually more of like 1 1/2 days. It's my first to knit using thread, and kinda like how this glide on smoothly on my 2.5mm Inox needle. I also like sheen of the yarn and softness. I'm now having ideas of using the same yarn for a top or something wearable.

Now you're looking at the back part of soon to be Abbie's First Handknitted tunic, which I hope to finish this when I get back from my up coming holiday to be spent in Manila and this sometime in June. And this will be my first knitted tunic. The pattern is from Debbie Bliss Knitting Step-by-Step Workbook. I love how Debbie Bliss book present their patterns, easy to follow, she uses simple stitches but creates a very classic look.
