Update / Photo

have quite a number of photo to update in this blog, but effect is very poor due to almost spoilt camera...



VS WSG AS AT 10 OCT 2009, though I love this, I have so many WIPs in hand to distract me too.



my Chinese Style Pullover , with Shosensi paper yarn, spent few hours to untangled the mess of tangled yarn.



this is stitched by DD#1, to be framed as clock. She added buttons instead of wordings.



I started this on 12 Oct 2009, see, there is no FO in stitch piece but I started 3 new projects in 2009. This is Chatelaine's Indian Summer Reflection, using my on hand stock of silk floss and beads instead of buying thread pack and bead pack.



Finally, back to MW Asia SAL, I am still in Pt 3, my choice of color is rather mute and boring.

sewing reversible envelope

1 .
size of both fabrics: 8" x 12"

sew on of the width edge of both fabric with right sides facing each other (e.g. sew from wrong side of fabrics)



2. draw 4" line from the sewn line (which is to form the pocket of envelope)




3. fold from the wrong side of the fabric (1st: backing fabric/floral), which you have the right side of backing fabric facing right side of your project fabric (checked fabric)




now you have folded bottom pocket of envelope and wrong side on top of the other (e.g. 4 layers of fabric, now you are still working from wrong sides of fabric), this folded end is free from sewing

\\

4. (a) start of the beginning edge of the folded 4 layers place , sew until the end of the envelope, and turn fabric with needle in place of the fabric and sew another 3 inches and stop.

(b) repeat with another edge of the folded 4 layers and leave abt 2 - 3 " on top of the envelope to enable turning the envelope to its right side.




this is the view of the bottom pocket of the envelope.





from this opened end (2-3" opening) turn the envelope





yes, it is done and reversible too.

you may hand stitch the opening end to have neat finishing or sew a line near to the edge of fabric.

Hope I am clear with this narration.

MW Asia SAL, update #4

as at last Sunday , 13 Sept 2009,progress slowly as errors repeated:

update #3 MW SAL Asia

I found this almost reflects the actual color of my stitched piece....yes, I finished page. 1, the ewhite flower and pot is stitched with Anchor white floss, which I prefer much as it is much alike silky smooth. Along my progress, I am eager to stitch more and more to see completion of each motif, hopefully I am consistent in my stitching mojo as I have so many WIPs in hand and with this SAL, I am at least motivated, hope to have this as FO of 2009.

Update NO. 2 - MW ASIA SAL , 31 AUG 2009

I am progressing as slow as snail, the above pic showed was taken as at 31 August...still stitching weekly but very little been stitched , as I am distracted with many WIPs in hand

WM yarns

yes...I am crazy with Wollmeise yarn,...lace ? sock ? anything is WM yarns....but too bad, I have only collected sock yarn since last year August..lucky to join the sock club 2008/2009, this year there is no more sock club, so I have 8 skeins, and used up 2 skeins. When there were updates, I missed the opportunity...but I did manage to get some through the updates....additional 13 skeins...and I am still monitoring if there is any updates from time to time....just love it. My 3 dear daughters also admire WM yarn....told them if ever mummy no longer alive, you don't use it, are you going to destash this WM yarns? they said they will ask other knitter friends to knit up for them, not going to sell .....LOL

Yarn : Handspun merino / tencil, fingering weight


pattern: simple ribbing anklet, for nephew
big size socks and I took forever to complete this
