KnitPicks Yarns

I just visited KnitPicks and found out that now they have their own lines of yarn. They are unbelievably inexpensive!!!

crocheted bag

Crocheted bag for my little sister in Japan. I couldn't get the yarn suggested in the pattern so I used Rowan's Rowansupn dk instead. The pattern is from "Puppy Yarn's website and it is in Japanese. You can also find a few other patterns under "School" section.

K's cardigan is done! The yarn is Lion Brand Wool Ease.

This is a neck warmer, I knitted it just for fun. I wanted to try Lion Brand Fun Fur, and I actually liket it very much. The yarn has much nicer feel than I expected.

Happy New Year

First FO in 2005 is leg warmers. I only had 2 balls of yarn so I knitted them with 1 ball for each. ...They are too short! My legs are not long like Americans but still. I should have knitted a pair of socks.

This is going to be a scarf and I'm knitting with my handspun yarn! I spun this yarn 1 or 2 year(s) ago by using drop spindle. The scarf is 42 inches now, 30 inches more to knit.

I just finished this cardigan for K. I used Japanese knitting software to make this pattern. I think the cardigan turned out O.K.; maybe I'll modify the pattern a little and knit it again with another yarn.
