Kaolin Tunic -- Newest Published in Knitscene Winter 2015

There are more and more different Ethnic Styles on runways these days. The inspiration of this design came from the Han Zu women’s clothes in Qing Dynasty, China. 

I always like linen stitch. The characteristic of it is the slip stitch. That made me think of the connection between linen stitch and mosaic knitting. So I changed the color every two rows to make this beautiful Baby Breath pattern. It works much easier than it looks.

The sweater is worked from the top down. It is seamless. The sleeves and hip have a trumpet shape. All the increases are worked in pattern.

I used a different yarn and different color, Queensland Collection Leché for my original one. BIG thank you to my friends: Model,

Irina Martinson and Photographer, Matt McKay.

Trip to China - Hong Kong

After almost 20 hours fly and 2 lay overs, we finally arrived in Hong Kong. Our hotel room was very night and face the harbor.

Next day Mom, Ming Zhu and Bai Xuan came and joined us. We went to Peace Mountain and Madame Tussauds Hong Kong. We were planing to go walk half way and take the cable car to the mountain top. But we missed the turn and kept going up so many stairs and climbed 2/3 of the distance to the top. We worried about Mom and Ming Zhu's knee so we decided to walk down and find the right way to the cable car. Finally we found it. There are thousands of people in line to get on this car. Amazing. After all that we found a nice "Dim Sum" restaurant and had some really good food.

 After ate, we went to Madame Tussauds. It is a wax museum. I had lots of fun there.

We were waiting outside for the line getting shorter to take the cable car back. Bai Xuan's favorite game " The dark night".

 What a busy day, but good. Slept really well after such long walks.
