Busy Days and Nights
We are having major renovation works at home which will likely last for several weeks more (I hope it will not run into months). Things are all over the place and some major purging and big time packing is going on. Crafting has been reduced to a pitiful trickle and given that the Clammy Hands season is upon me here in Hong Kong again, I haven't done much knitting either on the bus journeys.
I did finish up the tea cosy for our friend, which really has been due in ages. Photos to follow after it is given to him. The Uptown Boot Socks needs another one third of a foot. Other than that, the rest of the WIPs remain very much WIPs.
But I did start something new. A crochet capelet-to-be for a dear friend who would be needing much comfort. So far I have to keep looking at the chart as the increases are spaced differently every row.
The yarn is Rowan Wool Cotton in colour, Laurel, a lovely springy, leafy green. And I'm following the pattern from this book. More photos from the book in this post.
Other than this I'll share with you some new stash. Fleece Artist sock yarn in Rose. I'm not usually fond of pink and I don't know what made me ordered this in the first place but now I love it.
Trekking Sock yarn #147. Love this too. New stash makes me happy.
On the other hand, I'm destashing the 6 balls of Jo Sharp Silkroad DK used for Maggie Tweed at the Destash blog. Check it out and email me if you're interested. Sold, thanks!
On a non-knitting front, I've finally signed up for the weekly aerobics classes organized by our building management and the classes will be held after work at our gym. Just when I'm all serious about getting more exercise and building up my body (I'm tired of being sick all the time), I'm informed that we couldn't even get the minimum 5 participants to start the class, that is out of a total of 800+ households in our 4 buildings. The building management is giving another 2 weeks to see if more interested parties will come forward. Is anybody exercising anymore?
