It has been a while since my last post. I still have been busy with moving and school. Oh actually, I have been knitting too. I am trying to finish couple Christmas projects. However, after I saw Costumechick's Mystic Waters Shawl, I couldn't help but casted one on myself.
I finished clue one in one week... I am using Zephyr 2/18 in Agean Blue and Knitpicks Options size 4 circular. I am usually not a fan of blue, but I like this color a lot. Now I am trying very very hard not to start clue 2 and try to keep knitting the Christmas gifts. Good luck to me.
Last weekend, my PIL came to help us install a garage door opener. I am very thankful that they always come to help us do this and that, otherwise, as both DH and I are lazy people, we would never get stuff done so fast.
Last Friday, DH and I went out with one of my friends from work and my classmate and his girlfriend to a Chinese restaurant, Iron Chef, in West Haven. They all speak Mandarin, except DH and I. It's a REAL Chinese restaurant. Well, I should say authentic Chinese restaurant. How do you know if the Chinese restaurant is "real" or not? Ans: It is "real" if you can order this there...

Lastly, I got these last week...
As I said before, once the gift #2 has been received, I would post the picture. And here it is...
I have knitted a shawl for my cousin to wear on her wedding (07/07/07). It's called Clementine Shawlette from Interweave Knits Spring 2007 issue. The yarn which I used was Blue Sky Alpacas, Alpaca Silk. I love this yarn, it's so soft, and nice to knit with, althought I do need to wash my hands everytime before I knit with it(since it's white). This is my first time to knit a chart pattern, since I think the pattern itself is quite easy, so the chart was not difficult to follow. I only hope my cousin would like it and crossing my fingers that she will wear it.
After finishing the shawl, I have started an other project, of course. I have been working on the Oversized Lace Top from Vogue Knitting Spring/Summer 2007 issue. This pattern called for the same yarn, Blue Sky Alpacas, which I wouldn't complain since I am so in love with this yarn. This is what I have been knitting so far...
It doesn't look so pretty now. I hope it will look much better after I block it. I have been knitting lots of white, may be I should knit with something else more, or finishing up some other projects instead 0f new ones. However, how could I resist to not touching the new yarns I bought from Webs? oh well, we will see...
