Clapotis

I used 2 hanks of Handmaiden Lady Godiva in Paris colorway. Because I only had 500m instead of the recommended 600m, I skipped one less increase repeat but managed to follow the pattern otherwise (12 repeats for straight rows). I think I minimized yarn wastage - only a little bit is left. The end result... I LOVE IT!!!

OH, and I brought this to Paris. hee hee. How appropriate, eh?

Berocco Zen Scarves

To welcome 2006 Spring, I made these two scarves using Berroco's Zen. The colors are so beautiful! With only 1 skein, both scarves were knit and ripped out a few times before the desired length was met. Third time lucky for both, I don't think I can bear to part with them.

Lion Cashmere Blend Reversible Cable Scarf

It took 4 balls and while the cables are neither fancy nor intricate, these basic cables are worked on both sides so the scarf is reversible! The pattern may be found here. I made this for a special person - hope he wears it!! It's soooooooo soft I'm gonna make myself one in baby blue :)

Rowan Ribbon Twist Mercy & Casey

From Rowan Ribbon Twist Collection, I knitted Mercy (the beret) and Casey (the scarf with bobbles). I love it... it's unique, the yarn is soooo soft and using 8mm, 12mm and 15mm makes the projects fast fast fast.

Ribbon Twist, it's chunky, it's expensive but this is almost my favourite yarn! I lost the first beret at Ikea but I liked it so much that went to buy it to knit another one!
