Hot water bottle Cozy for my Colleage

I was asked if I could make hot water bottle cozy from my colleage. Of course I said YES!
I used simple pattern but I love it. I made a double cables in a middle. She asked for baby blue so I chose Madelinetosh Tosh Vintage Blue Gingham.

However, yarn ran out. So I added ivory color on tip. Then it grew!!! AGH!

I put it in a dryer... Hopefully it settles...

Autumn Cardigan for my niece

I have stash yarn from Lionbrand sitting in my chest for quite a while. It's spring leaf (green) color. I decided to make something for my niece. Something easy to wear, warm, not too heavy.

So here it is. Autumn Cardigan!!!
I love this lace details, raglan puffy sleeves, everything! It was an easy project.


Hope my niece like it as much as I do!

Atelier in Tokyo - my mom's!

I managed to finish my mom's Atelier cardigan just before Fall season kicks in. I used Madelinetosh Pashmina Smokestack which I love!!

For sleeves, instead of three quarter, I also made long sleeves. My mods are:
Dec rows 6times, 11 rows in between. made length to 40cm then cuffs. Just before make cuffs, dec sts as follow: K7, K2tog, K7, K2tg....

This way, sleeves are nice and narrow. My sister's version is little bit flare at cuffs. It's for mom, I don't think she likes flare cuffs for her age.




 I purchased Madelinetosh Pashmina from eat.sleep.knit. They were fantastic!!!
