我的毛線 My Yarn Collection

這是我現時擁有的毛線，不知道要多久才可以把這些線都耗掉了呢？

This is the yarn stash that I currently have..... Well.... when can I finish all these yarn??

手套

花樣：Maine Morning Mitts by Clara Parkes (The Book of Yarn)
毛線：Noro Silk Garden
工具：Addi 雙頭直針 4.5mm
完成時間：21/02/2008 - 22/02/2008

Pattern: Maine Morning Mitts by Clara Parkes (The Book of Yarn)
Yarn: Noro Silk Garden
Tools: Addi DPN 4.5mm
Time：21/02/2008 - 22/02/2008

這是我第一次作的手套，也是我第一次用這個毛線。我只可以說，我不會再用這毛線了！因為雖然這個叫作silk garden，所以用料也比較高貴，可是對我來說這真的是不可以接受的扎人。而且我還找到了一個顏色不能配上的結呢！

This is the first pair of fingerless mittens that I made, and my first exposure to noro yarn. I must say, I would not use this yarn again. Although silk garden was claimed to be more delicate and decent and luxurious, it is still unforgiveably itchy and unmatched knots were found!

可是，這花樣很美呢！而且用的時間很短，只用了兩晚就完成了。這真是最好用來送禮的東西呢！
Well, the pattern is great, lovely, and easy to do. It spent me approximately two nights to finish a pair, and the result was good. It is surely a nice last-minute knitted gifts!

Pattern: Column of Leaves Scarf
Yarn: Sublime Yarns Cashmere Merino Silk DK
Tools: Knit Picks Options 可轉換輪針組 4mm
Time：02/2008 - 02/2008

這個花樣之前已經打了一條給朋友，覺得真的好漂亮，所以忍不住為自己也打了一條。這個花樣真的非常細緻，而且難度也不高，打了一兩個重覆後已經不用再看著圖樣來編了，真好！

I have done this pattern before, and cannot stop from knitting another one for myself after seeing its beauty. This pattern is so decent and not difficult at all! I can memorize the whole stuff after one or two repeats! hurray!

這毛線的顏色雖然看起來灰灰暗暗的，但其實當中帶了很少的光澤，我最喜歡就是這樣的感覺了！而且摸起來也很滑，軟軟的，很舒適呢！

Though the photos may show the yarn to be a little bit too dull, but it is actually with a minimal of shine from silk. I love that feeling! And it's soft and smooth, and nice!

Yarn: Knit Picks Andean Silk 250g
Tools: Knit Picks Options Interchangeable 5mm
Time: 10/11 - 30/11

雖然它的名字是「男子的開司米圍巾」，可不是為了男孩子而編的哦，也不是用開司米作的呢～這毛線有23%的絲呢。看起來有點光澤，但低調，結果成為了我的至愛呢，平常用來上班也很合適。
Although the pattern's name is called "Men's Cashmere Scarf", it's not knitted for a man, nor using Cashmere / cashmere. :P This yarn contains 23% silk, and looks a bit shiny with it, yet subtle which makes it to be my favourite. It's so well fit for me to wear to work.

花樣其實就只是一行高針，一行則是一針高一針低的，非常簡單呢。唔，看來我仍是喜歡這種簡單的東西呢。
The pattern is extremely simple, with one row purl, and one row and alternately one purl and one knit. Umm, it seems that I love these kind of simple things. :D

媽媽的披肩 Stole for Mum

花樣：Stolen Moments Wrap by Amy Swenson
毛線：SkiYarn Flopsy 200g
工具 ：KnitPicks Options 輪針組 8mm
完成時間：10/12 - 30/12

Pattern: Stolen Moments Wrap by Amy Swenson
Yarn: SkiYarn Flopsy 200g
Tools: KnitPicks Options Interchangeable Circular 8mm
Time: 10/12-30/12

這披肩是為了媽媽而編的，因為她近期看著我其他的成品都看得紅了眼呢！:)
This stole is knitted for mum to stop her from staring from all my other knitting. :)

這毛線是在家附近的毛線店減價時買到的，有差不多六折的折扣呢！這個披肩（30cm x 180cm）只用了我150元港幣呢，超化算的！
I found the yarn in a blowout sale in a LYS, with about 40% discount for each skein! And I finally made the whole stole (36cm x 180cm) with only $150HKD, so attractive!

這花樣很簡單，但這毛線秋天的顏色卻令人覺得好有趣呢，紅紅啡啡的，不禁令人想起了秋天（雖然現在已是冬天了）。
The pattern is simple and repetitive, yet the yarn's autumn colour added details to it, with orange and brown scattering everywhere in it's soft, nice touch. It reminds my of the autumn red maple leaves!

在除夕的晚上送給了媽媽，她好喜歡呢！新年快樂。
It was just given to mum at the night of New Year Eve, Happy New Year to all!

十二月群編會 Joey's Knitalong for December

花樣：群編會
毛線：九色鹿竹白色約７０克
工具：Clover鈎針日規６號
完成時間：4/12 - 31/12

Pattern: from Joey's Knitalong (Chinese)
Yarn: Nine Colourful Deer Bamboo White 70g approx.
Tools: Clover Crochet Hook Japanese No. 6
Time: 4/12-31/12

其實這個圍巾只進行了兩天，但中間就在其他不同的圍巾中給纏著了。
Actually the crocheting work continued for only 2 days, but I stopped for several weeks in between..... Obviously got sticked to other interesting projects.

這個花樣其實相當容易，而且用的時間很少，可惜我想我選錯毛線了。這九色鹿的竹線是太重了一點，就是我整型後，也不太看得到花樣呢。唔，不要緊了，因為，我想我也不太喜歡這花樣呢。
This scarf is a very easy and fast one. However, I got the wrong yarn. The bamboo yarn was too drapy and the shape of the pattern did not come out well, even after blocking. Umm.... anyway, I do not like much the result of the pattern.....

Addi Turbo Circular 30cm

前幾天為朋友到毛線店買毛線，當然少不免要看看有沒有什麼有趣的東西。突然給我看到了這個！我最愛的addi輪針，有３０ｃｍ超短的呀！正好用來作我的tilted duster的袖子了！其實我己經作好了一隻袖子，但我縫的技術真得非常差勁，待我試試用這個來作環編會不會好一點，希望可以吧。

I went to a LYS to buy some yarn for my friend a few days ago, and of course, I took a glance at whatever interesting. Suddenly, this thing came to my eyes. My favourite addi turbo, with super short 30cm long! oh no! I could use it for the sleeves of my tilted duster!! Actually I've finished one, but as my seaming technique's too ugh...... Let me try to use this for a circular knitting to see if it goes well!

Magic Yarn Ball Received! 魔法毛線球收到了！

今天回家就收到了令人快樂的禮物！遠道而來由台灣送到的魔法毛線球！好高興呢！
I received my magic yarn ball today! It's all the way from Taiwan! Horray!

看，連小狗都迷上了球球呀！
Oh, look, even my little doggy loves the yarn ball!
先把連著的另一個包裝打開，哦，是信封信紙呢。唔，也不知道有多久沒有寫信了，倒勾起了小時候儲信紙的潮流呀。
I opened the other package sent with the ball, oh, it's a letter pack. Um.... I cannot remember last time I wrote a letter....but it reminded me of the trend for collecting letter packs long long time ago.


一打開，就看見包得好好的一個球，裏邊的所有東西都看不倒呀，捲得很整齊。唔，覺得自己的那個好醜呢。
When I opened the package, I saw a very properly winded ball which I could not see any content inside. Umm... I think mine sucks.

裏邊有由右至左的，跟著掉出來的次序是，熨章，星星吊飾，漂亮的記號環，珠鏈，小鹿飾物，唇彩，扣子和髮飾，都好可愛呀。
The things inside following the sequence of falling out, from left to right are: badge, star ornaments, gorgeous stitch markers, pearl bracelet, reindeer ornaments, lip gloss, buttons and hair bands. I just love all of them.

在我把線捲好的期間，小狗就在我的身邊睡著了。
When I was winding the ball, my doggy slept at my side.
你看！原來它是在扮睡呀！！
Oh, LOOK! It's just pretending to be sleeping!

Bubble Scarf 2 第二條波波圍巾

Bubble Scarf 2, originally uploaded by cynthia.kwok.

花樣：抄路邊攤的
毛線：不知名在路邊攤買的
工具：不知名12mm直針
完成時間：15/12 - 17/12

Pattern: copied from roadside stalls
Yarn: Unknown, bought from the same stall
Tools: Unknown 12mm Straight
Time: 15/12-17/12

This is the 2nd scarf I knit using this kind of "bubble yarn". Does it look like marshmallow? I really wanted to swallow it right a way.
這是我編的第二條波波圍巾。是不是好像綿花糖呢？看得我好想把它吞下肚子裏呢。

This one knits differently from the 1st one, and I used a pair of 12mm straight to knit it in garter stitch. Very simple, easy, and fast, again.
這條和第一條有點兒不同，我用了１２ｍｍ粗的直針來編，全低針，非常簡單，而且很快呢。

The result is just lovely, and when I put it on, it just like a old girl pretending to be young. umm.... but it's still lovely. Let me think what shall I put on with this scarf first.....
雖然是這麼簡單，可是出來的結果好好看呀。可是當我掛上自己身上的時候，有點兒像老女人扮年輕呢。待我好好想一想該怎樣配好了。
