The Argosy is done.
I finally finished the Argosy for my friend, Josephine.
I made few mistakes at the end of the scarf, but honestly, I really didn’t know where I started to screwed up.
ANd I didn’t have the mood to rip it off and knit that again. SO, I will stay the scarf like that, I hope Josephine won’t mind those little mistakes.
At the same time, I started to make another one for myself, it’s so beautiful.
I had the Lorna’s Lace Lion and Lamb at home, so, I started to knit with this charming yarn.
Oh , I fall in love with this yarn!! it’s a mix of silk and wool, so soft and silky…
I love [japanese yarn] + [Argosy]

yarnyeah, Japanese yarn again : Olympus Chante, mixed of camel and wool.
A very soft and curly yarn. I love it.
It works so well with Argosy pattern.
It’s not solid color, it’s a mix of ivory, pale brown and pink colors. Very subtle and soft the tone that it fits my friend so well.
Yeah, I am not going to knit this for myself, it’s for my friend’s Christmas gift.
She is now in Hong Kong, so, I have to rush this project ,and hopefully I can mail it to her on time.
The pattern is free and I think I will knit one for myself by using silk garden , because I love multicolors by Noro Silk Garden, they give you surprises while knitting.
too many WIP’s

wipsI found myself as a person who can’t work one project at a time.
I love switching projects , and now, I have 8 WIPs….
I really want to cut it down and finish few ones before I start a new project.
HOWEVER, the temptation on trying new patterns and yarns is just hard to resist!
Do you have the same problem as mine?
I am working on :
1) the Noro scarf
2) the shetland triangle for my friend, Angel
3) the pink felted bag (just need to felt it)
4) another stole: Japanese feather stole (want to try out the yarn in my stash: Rowan Rowanspun 4ply.)
5) The purple bamboo dress for my daughter (Still have the front section)
6) clapotis (using Lorna’s lace sock yarn)
7) Clementine Shawlette for my friend, Ziemon
Drop stitch lace tank top
And I also have many great projects on queue…….
Give me more time, Please…!!
