knitted badges

I am quite an impatient knitter. I always want to knit something small and quick to see the result. So I have came up with this quick-knitted badges that I really love. Great for valentine's day gift <3

union jack cushion

This cushion is knitted for my friend's house warming.
This is knitted with the intarsia technique.
At first it seems a bit chaotic as there is like 10 bobbins hanging at the same time,

but it turns out fine and actually a bit fun to do!

Especially when I see the final product,
it is totally worth it.

The pattern is fronm the book Picture Perfect Knits by Laura Birek

*edited: just learned to add watermarks for the photos! I'm so excited!!!!

fair isle cardigan for myself

I challenged myself using a fine yarn for a fair isle cardigan,
and the result is very satisfying.
The stitches are so fine that it is hard to made believed that this is a hand-knitted garment.

This is a bottom-up cardigan, knitted in round, with technique of knitting fair isle and the scary steek. (turns out not so scary... but it always creeps me out when cutting the garment with scissors!!!!!!!!)

Using some books and websites as reference, I worked out the pattern by myself. I would like to type out a clearer version someday, when I have time for that. And I guess I have lost some of the pages in my chaotic yarn stash... Hope I can share with you some day! :)

I also added a little something for my very own knits, got the buttons and labels on etsy :) lovelovelove

Christmas is a season of love,
I have made a few of this snowflake drawstrings pouches in different colours for people I love.
To me, handmade gifts are always the best.

black tweed cabled pocket scarf on hold

This is a project I have worked for over a month.

Originally I planned to finish it within September,

but I have spent all my free time in these few days on something more important.

cross-stitch bookmark - celtic knot

It's been a very long time since I last embroidered .

I remember I was very interested in things like embroidery and knitting since I was a kid.

I started a cross-stitch work at school's home economics group,

but I never finished it.

I hope this time I could finish this bookmark,

just some more backstitching to go!

This would make a very lovely celtic knot bookmark.

Material and instructions bought in UK last year summer.
