Taitai knits

knitting roundup of mid March

This is a cotton sweater for Luke to wear on the plane this summer. Made from reclaimed Cotton Fleece and some Rowan all seasons cotton on the bands.

This is sock #1 of a pair for Luke to also wear on the plane this summer. Again I am using up yarn - both balls are left overs from 2 different pairs of knitpicks socks.

Wool bamboo socks for my Dad for Father's Day

A silk tank top still waiting to be finished...maybe this week.

And finally my cotton-silk tux tank that is nearing completion - maybe also this week??

Happy Easter

Here is our slightly sad Malaysian easter bunny. He is really an IM type dressed up and painted. We had a great time at the residence this morning. The kids were all super well behaved - everyone got 10 eggs. It was a good, hot time.

A new spa experience

Last night I met a friend at a big fancy mall near my house and had a fish spa experience. Yes, fish. Real, fish who nibble on your feet. It was an experience. Kenko spa is on the 5th floor, outdoors of the Pavillion mall. http://www.visionkl.com/healthy.asp

Here is an up close of the fish doing their thing. It felt as weird and creepy as you might imagine.

Happenings

I got my FS swap package yesterday and received some lovely sock yarn from Patty in Estonia. I can hardly wait to cast on! Thanks Patty!

In an effort to keep busy, I have decided to learn how to quilt. I am making Claire a doll quilt. I found a place to buy batting today, so hopefully it can get finished soon.

And here is the fist top I have ever sewn. It is from one of my beloved Japanese sewing books. It was also my first time making bias tape and it actually worked!
