Yesterday was Mother's Day, (from where I came from)... and we celebrated it with couple of my friends from my badminton club. We had potluck, and the sharing and mingling did me good. Wishing it will be more often (the get-together) *smiling sheepishly*
And the day before that was my hubby's birthday, we just had some Saaddedin cake, didn't do any celebrating, as he wants to be done next month together with my birthday.. double celebration he says :)
On my knitting side, I have 3 test knits to be finished by the end of May, so far I finished the one for an 18-mo old girl, and I casted on the second one for 4-12 years old PIXIE HAT.
The last one is a shawl and all of them will be revealed as soon as I got the designers approval to post a picture of each project.
So what's been bugging me these past weeks, you ask? well I wanted to acquire some super-washed merino yarn on bright colors, so I can make some granny square blanket just like what this guy did...
Don't you just love the colors he used?! So now I'm checking out which yarns is good that gives a much yardage so I can order them and start crocheting. It will definitely look good on my daughters bed. :)
Am looking for a DK weight that is super wash.. preferably merino wool. That wouldn't be so hard now I have narrowed down the search,isn't it? (ha and so I thought!).
I went to RAVELRY to do some yarn search and the return gave me 17 pages,argh!, so much for positive thinking, I guess I have to do some "cost-benefit analysis", like which yarn gives more yardage, has a lot of wide range of color and price.
I'll try to see if I can do some study and will show it to you once it's done... I hope it will be easy.... *fingers crossing .
