Meow Scarf!

My best friend K and I have been friends for more than 15 years, and among many things we share, we share a love for cats! I remember once back in my innocent days, I’d seen a sweater/shirt with a kitty on it that says “bad kitty”. I bought two – one to ship to her andContinue reading “Meow Scarf!”

Machine Knit Striped Cardigan

Another machine knit sweater! This time I adventured into a different type of yarn instead of the good old Caron simply soft. I actually found a bunch of wool yarn in goodwill for 1.59 each. So I bought all of them without thinking about what to make. Among them was 4 skeins of organic wool fromContinue reading “Machine Knit Striped Cardigan”

Beige Machine Knit Sweater Remake

The first sweater I made on the knitting machine was this one. It is one of my husband’s favorite sweater for me to wear. Unfortunately it really stretched out and is very annoying to wear, possibly because I was using a large gauge or maybe washed in the washer without a washing bag. So IContinue reading “Beige Machine Knit Sweater Remake”

Black Babydoll Dress with Little Black Bolero

So I lied to myself when I said I wont make myself another maternity dress (but i swear this is the last one!). I was looking through my pinterest boards for next sewing inspiration, and I couldnt help but wanting this outfit – its so cute! This is the dress I made: IContinue reading “Black Babydoll Dress with Little Black Bolero”

Knitted House Boots

I knitted this a few month ago but never got around to taking photos and posting it. I wanted to see how socks/boots can be knitted but didnt want to invest too much. So I chose a chunky yarn pattern and used yarn from frogging this project (which turned out to be not wearable atContinue reading “Knitted House Boots”

Machine Knit Pocket Cardigan # 2

My previous attempt to copy a pocket cardigan turned out okay in the beginning, but because I used a cotton material, it stretches around the neck line too much and shrunk everywhere else adter laundry – became unwearable after a season. I really liked the cardigan (pockets are so useful when you have kids) andContinue reading “Machine Knit Pocket Cardigan # 2”

Golden Linen/Silk Cardigan

I knitted another cardigan!!! The last two I had knitted had been very much well used during the winter/spring. However, now that the weather is hot, I wanted something lighter that i can wear during cool summer nights and fall. I used about three and half hanks of Elsebeth Lavold LinSilk from yarn.com. When IContinue reading “Golden Linen/Silk Cardigan”

(The Cursed) Organic Cotton Heaven

I finished knitting a sweater! This time it didnt take a whole year, but still a good few months. This yarn is pretty cursed – I’ve had it for years, and i’ve started at least 3 or 4 project with it and became dissatisfied and ripped the project out. I thought it was cursed butContinue reading “(The Cursed) Organic Cotton Heaven”

Basic Knitted hat

Just knitted up a hat after i took apart the sweater I knitted – the wool is a little too scratchy for little K while I have enough hair to buffer between my skin and the hat. Its not quite winter/fall here in san jose. But some good friends visited last week and we tookContinue reading “Basic Knitted hat”

Machine Knitted Pocket Cardigan

This picture had been in my pinterest for forever, and I’ve been very eager to make it. So as soon as I feel that I’ve mastered the skill to make up my own pattern on the bond knitting machine, I gave it a go! My version (doh, i forgot the sunglasses): I used up aContinue reading “Machine Knitted Pocket Cardigan”
