This past summer, I visited a yarn shop in Seoul called Banul and bought some beautiful indigo fingering weight yarn. It’s a cotton-silk blend called Screen that I planned to use for a shawl, I don’t remember the price exactly but it was fairly cheap for the 10 balls I bought.
I was going to [...]

Hey, look, it’s yarn.

I finished three projects recently, two of which I finally did the finishing touches to today and added to Ravelry. First, though:
Soleil from knitty, with a few changes. I added some crochet edging to the bottom to help it lay flat, sc1, skip 1 or 2, chain 1, sc1. I decreased a lot on the [...]

I’m doing this post in two parts, one here and one on my Korea blog, so if you want to read more about Seoul, go here.
I met Marie at the bus terminal, and we made our way over to the beautiful (and only a little confusing…) Seoul Arts Center. There is actually more than one [...]
A Scarf and a Shawl
Posted in Crochet, Finished Objects, Knitting, Korea on June 5, 2009 | 6 Comments »
I finished it a little while ago, actually, but I’ve been lazy about posting. It’s the scarf that I started in February, before the accident, then finished when it was too warm to wear a scarf. I’m pleased with how it turned out, but it’s not really my colour. I think I’m going to save [...]
100 Days
Posted in Blog, Korea on April 25, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I’ve been in Korea for 100 days now (well, it was 100 days on Saturday, though now that I think about it, it IS still Saturday for most of you), and one of the things I’ve noticed here is that there is a lot of knit/crochet wear. Mostly in the form of tunics and cardigans, [...]
Branching Out and a Cute Journal
Posted in Blog, Knitting, Korea, Work in Progress, Yarn on March 1, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I made Branching Out once before in the year I learned to knit. I think it was one of the first scarves I made, for my mother. A scratchy, off-white acrylic yarn, and I ended up making it too short, but it was still long enough (especially for her, she doesn’t like long scarves much). [...]
Yarn in Masan

This is a post that could also go to my other blog, Live from Masan. Since it’s about yarn, it’s going here.
I haven’t been knitting or crocheting very much. I came with some Patons Canadiana (to make mitts, though now it’s too warm to wear them. One is finished), and some Bernat Cot’n Corn. [...]
