It's been a while...

What's a girl to do when there are so many things going on in her life at the same time, and on top of that she decides to go on a break. Well, I guess there is nothing to be done apart from letting life take over and just go with the flow at times isn't it? So I did just that.
I have been saving stuff to share on the blog but just couldn't get around to putting it all together with so much going on. The result, I have so much to share that I cannot possibly do it in one post. So it will come in installments over several now.
To feed the curious minds, look forward to...
  • New quickie pattern
  • Finished Objects during this time
  • Travel update and pictures
  • Possibly a couple of recipes
  • Sneak Peak on a Pattern in progress
  • My run in Sock Wars III
and more with time...

Starting with the latest first.
Both me and DH had been going on with home and work like a never ending story so we decided to take a much needed break. What better way to see a place we have been waiting to all this while. Well alright, places....

So off we went...far far away...
First stop Los Angeles to meet our friend's family.
This is what I made for his wife.


Pattern: Beaded Bracelet
Source: Lets Knit2gether Podcast (Episode Metal Arts)

Materials: 28 gauge Wire
Blue Beads
Wire cutting tools

Bamboo Knitting Needle: US 9

Started: May 18, 2008
Finished: May 19, 2008
Notes: My first try at knitting with beads. The pattern is not yet in Ravelry. I spoke to Kat and she is in the process of adding the same. I will post an update when she is done.

Here is a Crocheted Tank I made for their daughter Sanjana. My own pattern.

Another Vest that I made for her is this. Yeah, it seems a little big right now, but you know kids... they grow too fast. Besides, Sanjana's Ma was happy I made it a bit big :)

Inspired from the Striped Hoodie Pattern by Jill Eaton (Ravelry Link).

A closer look at the flower buttons I sewed on it as an accent. These were purchased from my local WalMart.


More to come...
