This month's photos and reports


 

 I love "shortbread. Even though I made them using a BBC recipe, they were clunky. The secret seems to lie in the difference in flour used( in England and Japan)

Homemade strawberry tart


 I found an old old knitting basket. It's useful for big project like a sweater. 
My happy dog 

Inside cat

Outside cat 

 He is now my mistress↑. We have feelings love for each other. But I am careful to not get found out my inside cat..

Mixed color simple dress

 I had a lot of yarn left over from knitted socks. Then I knitted a dress with them, instead of knitting socks over and over again, I used 700g of scraps yarn. And now the basket full of scraps is clean out. 


I see everything tired my socks, rather than a new dress ....


One thing is for sure, that dress is so warm I don't want to take it off :)


I used Paton's pattern from 70's as a reference at first, but it was mostly useless, I did the calculations myself.  I started to knit the hem of skirt, but it's better to start knit from top to down. The skirt is slightly A-line .
