My DH has finally put the photo in order, so I can now show you my stash for secret project.




Sorry the shade is not so accurate, the right side one is beige, center is warm white, and left-second one is pale pink. This is my coloring for the project. Now I have started from left, lilac-purple.


All yarn is cotton 100%. I love Heiroom yarn from Australia, it is very soft. and some rest bit of Jeager, some other.... it is like sharbet mix color. It won't take much time to complete, I hope! Anyhow I will show this garment when it is finished.


So now I post this one and come back to knit.

Now I am working very slowly on my secret project. I took the photo of the yarns I plan to use for it, around 9 colors, but as my DH has not yet putthem in place, I cannot put it here now.... other than that, I have not yet started my glove projects. Yes, my lazyness is staying with me, but there is a certain reason. I am sure that I could work again on knitting as usual, around mid or end of October. Until then, I would not post much here.... I wish I could.

In Tokyo, autumn has arrived from last weekend. It was very sudden after long prolonged summer, now everyday we feel mid-October temperature. It is confortable and good at night, we can sleep well.(you cannot imagine howhot and humid at summer night in Tokyo).?Instead of knitting, I am reading. Currently I read a book of Anne Tyler, Ladder of Years in train between home and office. It is a story of a lady who is doctor's wife, living with three sons and cats. After a strange affair with a stranger, one day of her summer vacation she left her home and family, start a complete new life alone. Nobody thought she could be a woman who could do it. It is interesting story...

Anyhow, will see you soon.

Days pass like the wind, Tokyo is keeping summer high temperature, and I am sleepy...I am in kind of summer vacation "for knitting". Well, now I am a little away from knitting, but I know it won't be long....just until this weekend, I guess.


By the way, I forgot to show you an item what I could got in France.




I have got these buttons at "vide-grenier", flea market near my staying area. As it was, these are very old, dusty, a little broken, but I am glad that I could get these all only 1.5 euros. Cream and gray color ones are shell button, and right-below one is glass. I am planning to use this gray shell buttons for my Grace cardi.


My plan for this weekend:

prepare my charity home page for preemiegoods wiy my DH's enoumous help

Start my glove

Start my secret project....


And I want to thank you all, for those who are encouraging me to keep my posting, who visit here time to time and check my post. Really.

Recently nothing to report about knitting.... I am going on for Grace cardi, but not much progress. I feel lazy....and now the season of summer yarn is finishing.....ummm.
But I have some new projects in my mind for this winter. I would like to make gloves as a Xmas gift for my in-laws of DH. NOT sure if I could make it! I have to make four pairs. I know it is better to start now, and as warming up for these projects, I am now choosing the conbination of the yarn for material, color, and design. I want to make simple, chic, gorgeous ones. As I have not made gloves long since last winter, about half a year, first I will make one for myself for this year. It should be two shades of blue yarn of Phildar, matching a scarf-to-dream made by Phildar yarn.( I showed these yarn on August 10 post) Hope I could show you soon....
