Sunday, Andrew and I went to a concert at Mohegan Sun. I was very excited because it was a Hong Kong singer that I kind of like. I have never thought that I could have Chinese/Hong Kong-nese concert experience when I am here in the U.S. So I was too excited to tell you how I felt about it. I can tell you that the one big special thing to watch HK concerts is to see the costumes that the singer wears, here is couple examples...
I have finished the Juliet. I love it, I was worried that it would be too wide and too short for me, but I have asked people who have seen it around me, and they all like it, so no worries anymore. I do like those buttons a lot. I got them from Walmart. Love the yarn, Frog Tree Merino Melange in color 901, very unique color. I have used all 10 balls of it, knitted 2 strands together, so total 1000 yd. Also can see the picture in Jennsquared's blog.
When Superbowl Sale at Yarn Garden, I bought a hank of 100% silk yarn, which only has 110 yards. So I made a short scarf for myself with this pattern.
Then I have casted on the Falling Leaves socks. I told myself that I am going to try toe-up socks, and these will be my first pair. This pattern seems simple enough but not too boring. However, since I didn't do a swatch(as always), I used size 1 knitpicks options, and it is way too big, so I have to frog it. Right away, I orderd some size 0 needles, hopefully that will help. And this is where I got before I frogged it.
The weather was pretty bad this morning. Our driveway was a mess. It was so foggy outside, it was dangerous to drive. So DH and I have decided to stay home, yeah, I know some people would not believe and would not understand our thinking, but we just wanted to be safe. So, how could I not knit if I am home in this crappy weather? So, while I am waiting for the needles for the socks, I have casted on the Minimalist Cardigan today. And this is what I got so far.
Well, I guess it's not really a quick post. Now back to homework.

Actually Anphoe, I've been up and down that driveway. And based upon the weather we had yesterday, *I* wouldn't go up or down that driveway! You and Andrew made the right decision! Everything looks lovely!
Agreed with wifemomknitter. Woooo I wanna see the cardi!
Holy cow! I'm so behind - your Juliet, Hemlock Ring Blanket, Cable Down Raglan, and silk scarf are all lovely! Wonderful job!
You are moving right along on your Minimalist Cardigan, and have fun with the sock when your new needles arrive : )
Love your Juliet! Gorgeous. Your scarf is so pretty, too.
I cannot believe how much you've been knitting!! I loved seeing all the FOs - keep up the great work.
