New Knitting Project

This is what I have been occupying myself with for the whole day today. Yup, I am into knitwear design again. This was planned a week ago and I decided to take today off to treat myself to some fun at home - for total relaxation.

I went to Golden Dragon last Saturday and fell in love with Sidar's Calico. This 60% cotton 40% acrylic marshmellow-soft yarn comes in sweet marshmellow colors you simply can't resist. I eventually picked this one, light blue. 7 skeins for a short cardigan for slightly under $50, not too bad.

You can see I only got the schematic for back piece worked out here, the rest - front piece and the sleeves, I will decide how I want to shape them as I go along.

What have I accomplished today? 5 rows of ribbings and 11 rows of pattern stitches and that is SLOW. Reason being I unpicked 12 rows this morning and started all over again this afternoon...... but no regrets......

老家要變新老家

几回胎死腹中，延遲又延遲的計划，上個星期終于成功實行了。

恭喜爸爸媽媽！多年以來的夢想，現在終于實現了！

前天晚上跟爸爸MSN，爸爸傳來几張照片。好快哦，我跟姐姐的睡房沒了。心里有一种很奇怪的感覺。畢竟在哪里睡了二十几年。我們這些在新加坡的，年底回家就是回“新老家”了。好期待！

一九七八年， 我三歲多的時候就搬到這里。從可以沒穿衣服院子里到處跑，住到現在。這張照片里你可以看到我小時候坐的秋千。爸爸做對了一件事，就是沒有把秋千廢除掉。（昨晚听姐姐說爸爸已經用車子把它載到暫時住的屋子去了，好厲害！听說是綁在車頂，一定很滑稽！）
可怜的魚婆婆，它也搬家了。也許它想念它原來住的魚池吧，听說前几天不肯吃東西。原本是要把它送給人，可是我們几兄弟姐妹都反對。養了這麼大這麼多年，怎麼舍得給人呢？
