new stash

Thank you for comments and suggestion...yeah, mirror image as Janey proposed. Faizon, thank you for viewing. I think by starting them young then mummy would have more excuses to buy more stash :-)

I just bought this:
Vintage knit

quite an advance knitting projects, what caught my attention were the 3 pretty shawls, the sweaters are nice too, but by trying them means I have to spend $ on my yarn budget?

exploring new hobby




my youngest daughter (8 years old) are always fascinated with mummy hobby, cross stitching. OK, now it is her turn to stitch, so engrossed, and she managed to finish her name using overdyed thread experimented by me...:-) She tried crochet but gives up presently, coz I do not know how to teach her as she is lefty.
