I couldn’t believe it. It’s totally new experience to knit with this Heng Yuan Xiang Merino yarn. I got to tell mom about this. It’s such a delight and the wool is blended so well that so far I haven’t had even once accidentally inserting my needle point into between the plys.

The new project is a yoke pullover, published on Interweave Knits Summer 2007 issue. I have to admit that I just couldn’t forget about it since the first time I saw it. I love that rusty rosy colour and the feminine texture that small cables and yoke design had created for this garment. Pam Allen is one of my favourite knitwear designers, I am pretty sure I won’t be disappointed with this project.

Sometimes, selecting a knitting project is the hardest thing. There are so many patterns out there in this world, and you have a stash of yarn in your hand. However, there is fashion trend that affects your opinion of what to knit for the season, as well as what suits you and what image you like to create. It’s all about choices.

According to my experience, I think every decision with a knitting project should come after a relatively long time of “Cooling Period “. If you see a knitting pattern that you like from somewhere, you’d better to put it aside for a couple of months or even longer. If by the time when you pick it up again, you find yourself still adore it, I say it’s the time for you to cast on. Otherwise, just forget about it and move on.

Never rush to start a knitting project when you are being driven by your impulsion. Knitting needs passion, but let’s don’t forget about our initial purpose- TO WEAR IT OR USE IT. You need courage and stamina on finishing a project, which can stand the test of time and must be practical enough to allow you to have a longer commitment to what you knit .
