Jayne's Day Out

This picture was taken on the 14 Nov, Saturday, at around 630am, when my princess, Jayne was going to a 2 Days 1 Night Kampong Experience and Desaru Adventure organised by her school as a Brownies Education Trip.

This was the first time Jayne was travelling without daddy and mummy by her side to a foreign country. Her daddy and I were worried sick of her well-being in Desaru and counting down to the minutes and seconds before her call at at night (@10pm) waiting to hear her voice on the phone.

Beautiful Sunday

Another Sunday......this is one Sunday that i m looking forward to because my darling princess will be home at around 5pm later this evening.

She is away from home for a 2 days 1 night Brownies' Overseas Adventure trip to Desaru in Johor, Malaysia on 14 & 15 November.

Knitting is a sure a relaxing, mind soothing hobby :) while she is not at home, i knitted quite a lot which is good as it takes my mind off from thinking of her.

This is the first time she is away in another country , without her daddy and me.

She called last night in her hotel room after her Brownies activites that all the girls were having lots of fun in the day. She and the other 3 girls (quad-sharing) intend to have their mid-night snack party till 12pm - WOW !!

My Mini Sock Exchange is here

Besides the wee tiny mini sock, see the great gifts i received from Margi.

There is a mini sweater matching the mini sock (now Jayne is asking for a tiny doll to wear the sweater and to play with.... where am i going to buy such tiny doll ....LOL !!) . You should see it - the workmanship is very really good and the stitches are even and neat, the colours matches very well. It got to be a knitting guru to knit such delicate piece of work !

A lacy purple bookmark, a stack of recipe cards, 2 pieces of lovely colour fabric and a friendship bracelet for Jayne from her daughter. (Oh, that is so sweet of her daughter :)

Thank you for being my exchange pal, hugs !!

Owlings

Owlings is my first project using the Premium 8 Inch Double Point Bamboo Knitting Needles from here.

These double pointed needles works WONDER ! I feel great holding them, knitting thru' with the yarn.




See how beautiful the yarn and the needles sit nicely on my palm :)




I have since finished knitting, however i m still searching for the correct size buttons to be sew onto the fingerless mitts.

I hope to find the "eyes" soon so that the owlings can start hooting.....

KP

One of my KnitPicks cable joint came out, and after much checking around, with the good reputations from the company and good recommendations from fellow knitters, i would like to request for a replacement.

Upon hearing my plea, a friend of mine is willing to help me, and she even ask me whether do i need to purchase stuff from KP, she can mail them over at the same time.

Oh how wonderful !!

This box arrived at the time while i was out picking Jayne from the school, hence the Postman left a Delivery Advice slip.

With the DA reference, immediately called to check and was told that the package will be in the Post Office the next working day, and offered a few options for collection, i chose the one that to be delivered to my house again on the next next working day.

I have to wait for 3 days before i can see my goods. :(

At last, my box came :)

Jayne loves to be the one to open up, and she even helps me by doing the design graphic paint on the picture.

I bought a set of the classic straight 14" Harmony wood needle set and the 4" Harmony Wood Double Pointed Knitting Needle Set plus the 5 different length Options Interchangeable Circular Knitting Needle Cables.

Oh, how i love my KPs.....thank you so much, my friend.

Knit One....Lite One

Nothing unusual, just another TV knit project.

Jayne is knitting this scarf for a girl from Beijing, China in an exchange school programme.

Now come the fun part - is knit lite needle :)

Some knitters might or already have this type of knitting needle at home, BUT is our first pair of "knit Anywhere...Even in the dark !" No. 13 (9mm) 14" (36cm) HUGE (kind-of-a-funny of holding them on our hands while knitting.

The FUN element we had during the process of "see mom....is lighted up ! wow, is heavy !! playing in a room, switching off the lights just to see how bright it is " is much worth than the price of $2.99.

We tried to take photo, there isnt any good ones to show how beautiful the needles move in the dark.

Her freind has since returned home, bringing this little gift from Jayne.
