Fuschia Clutch

This Fuschia/Hot Pink clutch which was inspired by these cute Margaret Nicole clutches. My version is bigger, with less delicate handles and a knitted yarn lining, finished off with a metallic clasp. Was so excited by the hot pink color, I didn't consider that there will be few opportunities to use it! There are also holes along the handle to allow for an optional ribbon.

Digi-Cam Bag

I've always wanted to make a bag to protect my digital camera and to practice my crochet skills. Here's the "practice" project.

Summer Boobtube

Bought 3 balls of Katia Spray on sale (165 yards) - it was such a beautiful color and I was curious to see what ribbon yarn would be like. It's a bit difficult as the ribbon twists but eventually I just let it be. I don't think it makes a difference once it's knit up. Due to the limited yarn, I knit this boobtube and trimmed it with a contrasting ribbon yarn. Finished with a drawstring i-cord to keep it up. :P

Cow Baby Sweater

Inspired by a very old Debble Bliss book, I changed the long-sleeve cardigan pattern into this sleeveless pullover.

Phallic Bear Bear

I tried to use the same size needles but I guess the guage is off. He turned out really skinny! Looks a bit naughty too :P

Aran Scarf

From Vogue Knitting, Holiday Issue 2003, I fell in love with the cables right away. Yes, it's ANOTHER scarf but this is HK, and scarves are more than enough for 360 days of the year. Because the pattern called for 2 strands to be held together, I had to use 10 balls and this thing weighs almost a tonne.

Chunky Fair Isle Sweater

I changed the colors for this because as usual, I ran out of yarn. But it turned out OK (like it was planned all along), didn't it? I also knitted in the round, so the rib edging had to be re-calculated and hence is different around the neck, at the bottom and on the arms!

Red Touque

One lone ball of Rowan Big Wool on sale, a beautiful red-orange tweed effect one... how could I possibly leave it orphaned? The pattern used exactly 1 ball with not even 1 inch to spare. I just love it when there's no wastage!!

Another with my favorite model...

Blue Chenielle Scarf

This yarn is a very soft chenielle. I bought it for no reason except that it was pretty. And so a scarf it became.
