Long time no see

I am so bad at managing my social media. There are also so many things (I think) to manage, FB, Ins, blog, QQ posts, WeChat posts, .................. etc. After I had my 2 boys since 2016. It gave me a perfect excuse being lazy.
In a few months the boys will be 3 and I haven't written a single post yet.
OK ok, I have some time now for designing and posting. I will try to keep it up.
Lately I got my Morehead Pullover published in Knitscene Winter 2018
Here are some pictures

The Cover of the Magazine

Morehead Pullover

There are a few tips for making it.

1. Fashion suggestion: Leave more ease than the sweaters you normally make because this slipped Garter stitch makes a little thicker fabric than the regular Garter stitch. It is very warm but if it fits too tight, it might looks a little swollen.

2. Please don't panic if you noticed that the front and the back are not the same width. I designed it that way. The front is about 4" narrower than the back. Just follow the pattern. You were not wrong.

3. This pullover works much easier than it looks. 2 rows before doing the dec, the first sl st of CC needs to give an extra tug to avoid loose st. The last st of CC needs to work looser to avoid tight st.

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.
