敗家買線 Recent Yarn Stash

過年後因在家度假"無事"做就上網趴趴走. 不趴還好, 一趴就....敗了!
我在魁北克省一家網店 Robyn's Nest 除了一些哩哩摳摳的又買了這些線.

I took time off around Xmas/New Year, and as I had "nothing" to do after New Year, I went on line, surfed a bit, and ended up buy these yarn on top of some notions from Robyn's Nest in Quebec.

[WIP] 計畫, 變化 - ISE7 Plan Change

上篇文章裏的線打了30來段後有點擔心, 所以馬上發了e-mail 給密友問他喜歡蕾絲線還是DK線, 還有喜歡羊毛, 駝羊毛或是竹纖混紡? 密友回覆: 較偏愛羊毛蕾絲線, 不過最好是依我喜歡打的線作為前提. 嗯~ 人還真細心/貼心. :)

I got a bit worried after using the yarn in the preivous post knitted for about 30 rows, immediately I e-mailed my pal and ask what type of yarn she prefers. She replied that she likes lace weight.

這是我改用羊毛蕾絲細線後所織出來的. 織圖也因為改用蕾絲線而稍微修改了一下. 我絕得還不錯看耶.

This is the WIP after I changed to handpainted 100% wool lace yarn. I have also modified the pattern due to change of yarn. I thought so far so good.



Now that our Canadian Junior Hockey team had won the Championship, I should be able to concentrate on knitting the scarf more.

國際圍巾交換7 - ISE7

是的, 我又參加了[國際圍巾交換]. 這第七回可是左盼右顧的總算登場. 我的下游密友住在暖和的佛羅里達州. 從依媚兒裡的交往中看來人不錯, 喜歡中性"地球色調" (earth tone), 希望打給她的圍巾不會太暖.

Yes, I am participating in the long waited "International Scarf Exchange 7" again. My downstream pal lives in a warmer place. From the e-mail correspondence, it sounds like she is very nice. She likes earthy tones, and does not want her scarf to be too warm.

我有竹纖/羊毛混紡的線, 顏色是洋蘇草綠(sage green), 織圖則是我自己設計的"春花圍巾"以符合這次交換的主題. 希望密友會喜歡.


I got bamboo/wool blend yarn and the colour is sage green, the pattern is my new design "Spring Flower Scarf" to match the theme of this exchange. I hope she will like it.
