So I hear it's going to be warm

on Chinese New Year this Sunday.  It's going to rain too, but I don't care, because I'll be wearing a little bit of sunshine.

Just a neckband and buttons to go for Smoulder.  It's going to need a washing on Saturday because plenty of dust has settled on it over the year. 

I started something new as my portable project.  It's a sleeve for Maris (Rowan 41), also known as the biggest yarn gobbler ever.  It's Calmer, knit at a gauge of 25 st/ 35 rows for a 10cm square.  Simple but s-l-o-w.  It is also white, which signifies death for some people here, so I probably won't be knitting this when I go round visiting relatives during the holiday.

This year, I've been late in preparing for the holidays so there's still lots to do tomorrow, like cleaning the house.  I won't get to it until Smoulder is done.  ;-)

Hope that the Smoulder can be dried on time for the HK humidity is high. Happy CNY.

Happy New Year! I love the feel of that calmer yarn. I'll have to try some more projects with it.

Happy Chinese New Year! I'm sure Smolder will be a brilliant hit for the festivities. :)

Happy New Year to you! Maris is high on my to-knit-list, I just can't make up my mind on the colour.

Happy Chinese New Year! I can't wait to see your Smoulder! I finally recieved the Rowan mag and I ONLY like the i-cord pot holder/coaster thing. Still enjoy the pretty pics though.
