I bought a new knitting book from Vogue Knitting. It's the 1st book of 3 series. This book deals mainly with stitches. I took pictures of two that I want to try. A bobble pattern and a bamboo pattern.
I also knitted this leaf scarf from loop-d-loop . Here is the link to the pattern if you'd like to try it. It's very fast using US size 13 needles. For a larger view, just click on the picture.
Another knitted hat using Brown Sheep | Lambs Pride Wool in "Blue Heaven" - it has kind of a puple tint to it.

Me and my sister went to Fillmore to go to the Shu Uemura store to pick these up:
This eyelash curler is the best. They are offering a limited edition black nickel color and hard case so it gets protected from bending. They are also available in gold. I also love their Pure Oil Cleanser in "light" - The bottle is also decorated by artist Ai Yamguchi.
Around the corner from the store on Pine street is the Bay Bread Bakery. Their almond croissants are the best and their macaroons are also good. You can read the reviews here . Click thumbnails for larger view.
I made 3 batches of these Martha Stewart cookes. One batch for work, one batch for my cousin's work, and one batch for my sister's work. Anne introduced me to this recipe and I've been making them ever since. My boss loves these cookies. Click here for the recipe. Substitute cranberries for the cherries and make 4 logs instead of 3 so you get more cookies. Click thumbnails for a larger view.
Here is my first blog posting. I'm doing this while husband & toddler are still sleeping. I'm making this infant hat as part of a Christmas gift. I got this yarn from Art Fibers. It is 45% cotton, 55% nylon & 5% vicose so it is non-itchy material. I tried to take a close up picture so you can see how the two colors are mixed together. I'm at the decreasing part so I should be done soon. Click the thumbnails for a larger view.
