WIP update
Some update for current WIPS.
This is Flame tank. Clearly you can see the difference of the color of yarn. But it is the same shade. I finished this orphan skein for both front and back, so now I just continue...BTW, knitting with silk 100% yarn is not so easy, the fiber is so fragile and you have to be careful more than usual...but it is heavenly touch.
I want to complete this Bob vest for my baby this weekend. Did I mentioned that I made the same vest with other yarn before? I used Varelia di Roma's Topacio, which has same composition of cotton and acrylic as all season's cotton. And this vest is truly useful for daily-use, so I need to make one another for him. This time I use Rowan's all season's cotton. Very fast and easy knitting, so I bring it with me every morning and knit it in the bus, ten minutes ride.
This is Bardot sweater by Debbie Bliss's Cotton Cashemere. The shade looks pale pink-ish but it is much more saumon orange. The touch of the yarn is rather dry....not much progress for now.
Tomorrow is the first holiday of the "Golden Week" in Japan. Now, three days weekend, one day work, three days holiday again, one day work, and another weekend, May 7-8.I would try to take a rest a bit and knit....

Hi! I found your blog listed on some of the blogs I was reading , I am a new member of Asian Knitters Ring. You have a great site!
The different hues is creating a pretty effect in your Flame top. Can you let me know where is this shop Mitsuba-Ya? I love to hunt for yarns when I travel.:)
