Frost 'n Rainbow

After two years of silence and hibernation, I finally made another pattern. It is available for pdf download ($1.50 USD) at Ravelry: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/frost-n-rainbow

Yeah, now it's summer. It's hot, but as a knitter you would agree no more that now it's the right time to start planning Christmas gifts!

A Blouse!

Hooray! I finally had something fresh off my needles! I started this project during the Christmas, and it's now the perfect time to finish off and wear this lovely cotton blouse!

Yarn: Filatura Dicrosa Millefili Fine, from Romni Wools, long time ago

Needles: 3mm and 3.5mm regular Addi Turbo

Pattern: A Japanese pattern from the Spring/Summer '06 Issue of World Knit

Buttons: I was rushing up so I simply clipped two buttons off from a cowl that I made a few years ago.

Alternations: None, except that the body was knitted in the round. I actually didn't find knitting in the round beneficial. It made the ribbing slanted. Indeed I really don't mind joining the seams together.

Comments: Knitting with cotton is not enjoyable.
