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

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, 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。

Swapbot - My first swap 我第一次的交換

My first swapbot is on magic yarn ball! My partner has just received it today and e-mailed me
almost instantly, how lovely she is!
我第一次的swapbot是交換魔法毛線球呢！我的密友剛剛收到了，也電郵告訴我收到了！

This is my first time to make a magic yarn ball and included some of the goodies that I love, I hope that she will love them as much as I do!
這是我第一次作這種毛線球呢，我也放了許多我很喜歡的東東進去，希望她也會喜歡吧！















These are the goodies I included in the package!
我在毛線球中放了這些東西呢！















I used Jaeger Extra Fine Merino as the yarn, it was so soft! I love it!
用的毛線是jaeger的extra fine merino，非常的軟滑，我也好喜歡呀！















This is how I started the ball....
我就是這樣開始了我的毛線球...















Hello, how are you? I am the reindeer for Christmas!
你好嗎？我是代表聖誕節的小鹿呀！















Added the ball band in, it is time to go!
再加上毛線的標籤，完成！

bubble scarf 波波圍巾

bubble scarf, 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：Aero 3.5mm輪針
完成時間：12/12 - 14/12

Pattern: copied from roadside stalls
Yarn: Unknown, bought from the same stall
Tools: Aero Circular 3.5mm
Time: 12/12-14/12

這種線從上年開始就流行於香港的街頭。在上年季尾，我也買了一團想玩一下，可是完全弄不清楚該怎麼放那些小球，結果就放棄了。
This yarn has been really popular in Hong Kong since last year, and I've bought one for fun at the end of last winter. However, I couldn't figure out how to put those little bubbles and decided to leave it alone.

今年再接再勵，買下另外兩球，再在路邊攤看了很久該怎麼作，回到家再不停的試，結果我終於成功了！
I tried this year by buying another two balls, and stared at the sample scarf at the roadside stall where I bought them, and then tried it repeatedly at home, and FINALLY I got it!!

在傷風中完成的圍巾，要用，也許要先消毒一下才可以了。
This is a scarf completed during flu, maybe I gotta sterilize it before using it.

Ruffles Scarf 波浪圍巾

花樣：Lion Brand 的 1-Ball Scarf
毛線：Kid K693 Lace Wool 100g
工具：Knit Picks 可轉換輪針組 4.5mm
完成時間：8/12 - 8/12

Pattern: Lion Brand 的 1-Ball Scarf
Yarn: Kid K693 Lace Wool 100g
Tools: Knit Picks Options 4.5mm
Time: 8/12-8/12

這圍巾只用了一天就完成了。
This scarf was finished in one day.

花樣非常的簡單，只用簡單的下針就可以完成了，特別的只是毛線。雖然織法非常簡單，也很快就可以完成，但成品非常的漂亮！如何使用這種毛線，可以參考這兒，或這兒可找到錄影。
The pattern is nothing, it's just a garter stitch scarf with a special yarn. The knitting is very very simple, and fast, and the result's just gorgeous. The way to deal with this yarn can be found here, or a video instruction here.

我不慣穿這種太女性化的東西，而且紫色是我嫂嫂最愛的顏色，所以這條圍巾很快就會被送走了。
I am not that used to this kind of feminine thing, and purple is my SIL's favourite colour, so I am giving that away.

當我在捐血站的休息室等朋友的時侯，拿了這個毛線出來織織。那兒的工作人員看到我在編這個東東，就過來問我這個是怎樣做的。對呀，我覺得這個看起來真的很有趣呢，我身邊的親友也有不少人在看過成品後買了毛線了！
I knitted at the waiting room of a blood donation centre while waiting for my friends, and staff there just come up to me after sometime and feel so interested in the scarf in progress. Yeah, it's really interesting to look at, and easy to do! My friends and family members are so fond of it and three of them have already brought the yarn and ready to cast on!
