New publications in last two month

I haven't update my blog for long time. You know, social media is quite a bit of work. Here I will put together some publications in last two months.

Botanic Pullover was published in knit.wear spring/summer 2014. I enjoyed to work with this yarn a lot. Lornas laces honor

Gambeson Tunic was published in Knitscene Summer 2014. Yarn: Handmaiden, fine yarn, lino Love the fabric. Just a little bit dusty when I was winding it.

Following is my original piece. 

Isotopy Mitts was published in Knitscene Accessories 2014. Yarn: Brown sheep, wildfoote, luxury sock yarn  This yarn give a great texture but little bit itchy.

Sundance Dress was published in Interweave Crochet Summer 2014. Yarn: Noro, taiyo lace Good yarn choice for summer.

I will try to keep posting the works I have done. Thank you for reading!

The Newest Published Designs

Haven't updated my blog for a while. I feel a little lazy to do everything but knitting and crocheting. Lots of design ideas flashed into my mind and I just want to be a spider woman to make all the good ideas come true.

Here are two resent published designs.
 The first one is published in Interweave Crochet Spring 2014 -- Betty Sweater
When you make this one, the most important thing you need to pay attention to is the joins. I designed this to be an invisible join. Can you tell the lower body is worked in rows then connected together at the center of the back?

The second one is published in Knit.wear Spring/Summer 2014 -- Botanic Pullover

I wanted to make this one look a little casual, sexy, drippy, and have a spring feeling. When you make it, using the provisional CO is important. Actually, you can decide which side you feel comfortable to be the front and which side is back. You can wear it either way.

BTW：My closest friend Bonnie Nurnberger's design V Line Tee has also been published in the same issue. So happy for her.

You can go to Ravelry to see all of my designs and projects.

Interweave Crochet Fall 2013-----Great Wall Pullover

When I was a little girl, my favorite game was making myself up like an ancient lady. I always think their clothes are so beautiful and represent the deep Chinese culture and traditions.

The idea for my newest design came from the women’s traditional dress of The Han Dynasty. After I designed the pattern for the neck line and the cuffs, I decided to name it Great Wall. It looks like The Great Wall to me. I selected the main body pattern to resemble the fans that Asian women carried with them during that period!

This pullover has a unique neckline, a beautiful shape and an eastern style.

It is published now! YEA!!!
