Friday New Addition

Introducing Banshee...


So so soft. It's at my etsy shop now.

This week we both take a week off. We were planning to go for xc skiing but my husband woke up with stiff neck the other day. So we have been home a lot, which is nice, just hanging around baking, cooking, reading, watching some movies. Each day I knit a little bit of x-mas 2007 project I mentioned earlier. It's going slow at the moment since I had to "frog" a few rows. It was frustrated when I thought I was making some progress. But it turned out that I was back to where I started at the beginning of the night.

Oh, well. Keep on knitting.

A Little One

I hope you have a great holidays. This year we didn't get a tree because the kids are on their own now. So the house was kind of bare. I thought of putting some decorations around the fire place. But we ended up not doing anything at all this year. It is a big change. And I am not sure how I feel about it yet.

This year, we participated in Give One Get One. It's a special program running through Dec. 31 from One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) founded by Nicholas Negropont, co-founder and director of the MIT Media Laboratory. During Give One Get One, you can donate the revolutionary XO laptop to a child in a developing nation, and also receive one in recognition of your contribution.

Here's our little one.


This little one has three external USB ports, full-time wireless router, built-in color camera to allow for still photography and video recording, and SD memory-card slot. To find out more about it, go to http://laptop.org.

Other than that, I started a new knitting project a day before Christmas Eve. I am about half way done, I think. The pattern is very fun to knit. Can you guess what am I knitting?

Holiday Special

There's holiday special going on at Fiber Monster @ etsy right now.

To end the month of December and year 2007, I created more new colorway for fiber batts. These are really fun colors. You can mix and match different batts together and spin them to create your very own unique handspun yarn.

Here're some new additions.

Reveal

A couple of weeks ago (or months?) I mentioned that I got something special for myself. It's time to reveal what it is because today is my birthday.

Happy birthday to me... Ta...da...



It's an early birthday plus x-mas present for me. Since I got it, I have been taking tons of pictures. Every so often, I had to consult its manual. It's my first SLR camera and I am VERY happy with it. I did a lot of research before getting it. The Nikon is very nice too. But the major reason I decided to get Canon is because I already have two lens from Canon EOS-5 film camera. Here're some practice shots I did.





I am recovering from being sick of coughing and loosing my voice the whole week. Tonight we just went out for a nice quiet dinner. Of course we had Thai at a resturant on Alberta street. Yummy.

Being sick means staying home. Staying home means fiber is within reach. So I present you this very colorful batt called "Bold Bright." It's at my etsy store here.
