I managed to get further up the front piece of the lace mohair I had been working on.
Then it got cast aside as I remembered the Chinese New Year knits I promised to make for Mom.
Ms Turquoise grew
and grew.
Before long, she was all seamed up.
But what annoyed me was this:
This tiny bundle of yarn was all that is left of the last ball. Meaning as usual, I had to start a new ball to work on the edgings around the armholes and collar etc! Hrrmmph!
So I just left it alone and cast on for garment #2 -- that's right; she requested for 2 pieces so that she can wear on the first and second day of Chinese New Year.
Knitted in a luscious silk blend, Mom has specially picked out this yarn for its texture and highlights.
Here's a close up to show you how the yarn looks like. That is a ball of yarn in it. I am knitting this top in the round so it should be going really fast!
Speaking of Chinese New Year knits, seems like the gals are also making plans to have a hand knitted garment or two for their own use too! Effectively, that's just barely a month on the calendar!

The Turquoise tank is incredible. I am new to your blog, did you mention already what pattern that was? I'm totally in love.
All of your work is looking beautiful so far. Can't wait to see them all completed. :)
