Central Park Hoodie No.2

My sister asked me to knit this hoodie as soon as she saw mine. she wanted Hayloft color from Brooklyn Tweed. She looked after me while I was sick with bronchitis in Japan, so I am returning her a favor.

I extended body length by 3inches and hood length also by 3inches. This way butt will be hiding, and head will be properly covered.




妹に頼まれてセントラルパークフディーを作ってみました。お尻が隠れるようにオリジナルパターンよりも3インチばかり丈をのばし、フード自体も頭がゆったりと入るようにちょっと長くしてみました。サイズは胸囲40インチ。中に長袖を着てもケーブルのパターンが体の形に添ってシルエットを作るので、野暮ったくなりません。色はBrooklyn TweedのHayloftという渋いカーキというか、黄色というか、という微妙な色を使いました。この毛糸はとっても軽く、肩が凝りません。ふふふ

Mini me peasy for my niece

I had a little bit of yarn left over from my mom's Peasy. So I decided to make mini version of Peasy (Sweet Peasy) for my niece.

I made short sleeve version as I didn't have enough yarn to do long one. I also made body 1cm shorter!


I put teddy bear buttons to finish it off!

Peasy for my mom!!

My mom had stroke in early November. She collapsed in a cold morning. She fell stairs as she couldn't stand still. Luckily, she recovered really well, finally got out of rehab. This is my gift for her.




I found this buttons from LYS today. It was only 50cents each, but they are beautiful. Nice subtle grey with green hue to it!
I know she would love this but she tends to keep it in draw. Hope she WEARS it!

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!
