If there is really such thing called “wish list”, I have started to make one for myself. I am not a greedy person, so my list so far is not long, and most of things on the list are related to a holiday back to China in a not-very-distant future, which I have been planning.

Last time when my husband asked me about “what I want to do the most in China”, my answer was “to go to the yarn shop in Beijing”. It was half joke half seriousness. Actually lately I thought about it very much. Believe it or not, I’ve got a full bag of yarn sitting in the corner, but none of them really interests me. Not that I lost the drive to knit, it’s just that they are not something I wanted, neither are they suitable for a piece of good quality project. I have many marvellous patterns in mind that I wanted to make really badly, but the reality is, if I couldn’t get the right yarn to knit, they would only become a knitting disaster but nothing else.

So I am pretty switched off at the moment. I have been wandering from one ball to another, one colour to another and one pattern to another for quite a while but achieved nothing apart from I am currently knitting a multi-coloured scarf. However, when I reached the 7th time to repeat a 8 rows pattern, I got very bored. I had to drop the needles, and started to look at something else in my knitting book collection.

Then I decided to continue to learn crochet myself, since I already had collected my reserved crochet book from library. Now I am crocheting a small cotton mat with the cotton thread left from the pair of socks I knitted two months ago. Now I am doing it very very slowly, but getting there. But I have already started to think about what I could do the next once I’ve done this one:-(
