Spring! 春だし。

March! MARCH!!!..but its still cold.

I have finished my second socks last Friday, but I haven' blocked it properly yet. so I took some of the photos of my plants.
三月ですが、まだ寒いですね。（今夜の気温予報も０℃です。）二足目のソックスも先週の金曜日に仕上げたのですがまだブロックしていませんので、いや、春だしー、と一気に伸びてきたお花さんの写真を撮ってみました。

 This is clematis "Ville de Lyon".  3rd year since I planted.

植えて三年目のクレマチスです。

wooo, over the weekend this little fella managed to open despite the cold cold rain.

週末の冷たい雨にも負けず色づきははじめたムスカリです。（タンポポと同居）

Hyacinthe is looking good as well. Originally I just had 4 of them. Mum bought me those bulb about 5 years ago- it increased the number and I'm sure there are more than 10 now..

これでお花でも植えなさいってウチの母が送ってくれたお小遣いで買った球根たちです（これはピンクのヒヤシンスです）当初は４株だけだったのが、自力で分球して今では１０株以上です。ムスカリも同時に植えたものなのですが、今では数えれないくらいに増えちゃっています。

以前、日本語の搭載の仕方のホームページを教えていただいたのですが、何故かできなくて。。。今日やっとまたいじくりまわしてやっとできたの。うれしいのなんのって。これでいろんなブログに書きこめやすくなったし、日本の家族とももっとメールがしやすいわー。

Sock and a Bear

Last week I was working on my First sock ever project. I saw lots of pretty socks people were knitting and I felt like want one, too.

So I went to The Wool Shop ( Sew and Creative) - my local yarn shop- to look for suitable sock yarn. I spoke to the lady and she showed me this sock knitting kit. ..... with that instruction and hand made sts marker, I instantly bought one.

I came back home and start casting on , and just looked at the Cotton Bear I was working on. ...he just sat(?) there without ears or hands. He looked so sad.

..yes I know, poor thing. but I couldn't stop the sock till I knit up.

On 19th I finish my first sock, and I have to say I'm quite pleased about it. Its not exciting colour or design. ( dead simple and colour like a Sky of  November) but feels so good to wear.

After I finished my first sock EVER, I super quick knit up Cotton Bear's ears and arms, but couldn't decide weather I knit his clothes or not. By the look of it he needs one though....

.. It might be my imagination or guilt conscious, but he still looks a bit sad.....

Spring Bolero!

10th Feb, I finally finished my Spring Bolero! (Patterns from Kelly at her blog) I've found Rowan Purelife and was too excited. I've found green and beige. The green became this bolero and beige ones are going to be some bunny for my parents, and my teddy.



 I really should finish my poor cotton teddy as I stopped when I've done his head and body, legs in order to finish this bolero.... He's laying in the box patiently ...

Ms. Snow Bunny got family.

Over the weekend she told me how she feels lonely sitting on the table. I felt so sorry for her so here I searched high and low, deep and wide to find her a fine young bunny.

 Ms. Snow Bunny were so happy , the happiness were almost bursting out. She really liked him so she squeezed out little bunnies to secure her relationship.

Oh Bless her, She feels so loved.

Snow Bunny

I was looking for some quick knitted toy and found this Pretty rabbit pattern by Jo So and Sew. It was amazingly easy knit yet sawing instruction was a bit confusing. I was looking for piece of ribbon in draw but couldn't find any. ( Normally its sitting around the house, yet again typically cannot find when you need it...)

 so, I knit her a collar and I quite like it.

The've got clothes!

Finally.......
 During the Christmas holiday I spent fare time try to figure out what kind of clothing suite them. yes this one was too small, changing the needle, grr this is too big......

then finally, I 've got something for my teddies....
