Socks, Cozy, Dishcloth

I guess the post title says it all. Here are the pictures:

My Bunny dishcloth made with Lily Sugar n Cream cotton in white and blue.

My first pair of hand knit socks! I'm very happy with the results.... and it's so comfy to wear. :)

More Projects

Some other things I forgot to mention:

Knitted Slippers - For wearing in the home

Apple Protectors - Cute and it prevents my apples from scratches and bruises when in transit.

Tawashis & Socks!

Hmm, so it's been a while since my last post. On a lazy Sunday afternoon, I made these tawashis:

They are so easy and quick to make, I ended up making six of them! So now my Mom has lots of tawashis lined up waiting to be used.

Also, I've now started knitting my first pair of socks. The yarn I ordered online arrived last week. When I opened the package and saw the sock yarn and size 1 needles, I thought everything looked so cute. They were so tiny and looked almost too pretty to be used. I loved the colours and the cotton and soy yarns just felt cool to the touch.

Even though I read through the pattern a couple of times, I still had some parts I was unsure about. I was wondering if the pattern is too advanced for my beginner skills but yesterday I got some of the kinks sorted out. So I've cast on and started knitting. The needles feel so small..... almost like long toothpicks. I'm just enjoying my first sock knitting experience. :) :)

Here's what I ordered:

Crystal Palace Panda Cotton Prints - Strawberry and Lime

Crystal Palace Panda Soy Prints - Cocoa Mint

Crystal Palace Bamboo 16" circulars

I'm so excited....

.... and I just can't hide it. la la la la la..... :D

I'm moving on and decided to try to knit some wearables. My knitting has been limited to scrubbies and dishcloth. I'm currently working on slippers, but NOW I'm moving on to bigger projects! YAY!! I placed my order yesterday for some yummy sock yarn from Jimmy Beans Wool. I'll be on pins and needles until it arrives. =P

Easter Amis

I made these for my niece & nephew:

Eeek... too many!

I think I'm working on too many projects at once. I keep seeing new things I want to make, then I start a new project and then the current one goes on hold. OH NO, I hope this will pass..... I need to finish my WIPs first before I get overwhelmed!! I only have 3 WIPs so far but there's so many other projects out there that's tempting me.

Haha, what I need right now is another pair of hands and more time. :)

Current Projects

I haven't had much time to crochet/knit lately. I started 3 projects since my last post:

Ripple Shawl -I started this in an online class and was supposed to finish already. But it's kind of on hold now since I started another project, shopaholic bag. I will continue this after the shopaholic bag is finished.

Shopaholic bag - I'm going on a mini vacation during Easter. This bag would be great to carry to the beach or poolside. So I gotta finish it soon!

Fishy tawashi - This was a spontaneous project that was really quick and fun to knit. I didn’t have size 9 needles so I used size10 instead. I love the size, big enough to comfortably hold and scrub pots and pans. For the loop on the tail, I did 28 chains with the 2 colours. The fishy tawashis are soooo CUTE! I’m thinking of making more in different colours and giving away to some of my friends. :)

Here's the fishy (wip):
