My cream crochet bolero is almost completed. I’m now working on the bottom part. Thereafter, on to the sleeves and it’ll be ready. It’s Saturday and as usual, i’m relaxing at Kopitiam Junction, Parkson. Right before me, Gordon is playing blissfully with his PSP, hubby rolling tobacco (his new hobby) *rolls eyes* and Malcolm is whining away in his stroller, lol. Malcolm only wants his Papa, so even if i tend to him, he’ll still whine. Isnt it a great way to spend the weekend.

I went to the the yarn store to collect Malcolm’s knitted multi-colored pants after lunch today. It’s washed and smells so good when i picked it up. I bought some new stuffs there today, but that will be another post for another day. You just wont believe what i bought. Neither did i.
See how happy Malcolm is wearing his new hand-knitted multi-colored striped pants. It’s a perfect fit. I havent even tucked the ends in yet, lol. He just ran up the table along with my retractable measuring tape. He loves playing with my measuring tape and will laugh out loud when i push the middle part to retract it back into its holder.
Here’s Papa lifting him up from the table. Can you see the yarn end dangling at the end of his knitted pants? He keeps pulling at it even after i have cut it short. I just love this pic. Malcolm looks so cute in it, dont you think so? He’s now sleeping with his new knitted striped pants on. Wouldnt let me take it off, lol. Wonder how long can Malcolm wear his knitted striped pants before he outgrows it.

It’s the weekend again. And also the last few days of Gordon’s Summer school break. Come Monday, he goes back to school, and i get the afternoons all to myself again. We decided to pick Malcolm up from daycare earlier than usual this evening. Hubby suggested we go have tea at Oldtown Kopitiam. I jumped at the idea as i my knitting bag is in the car. Moreover, The PSP is fully charged and Gordon can play quietly by himself.
As you can see, i am still working on my Lilac sleeveless top. I have to lengthen the top part by another inch and a half. If my memory serves me right, i remember knitting a full 7″ armhole opening. The last time i worked on my Lilac sleeveless top was way back in April. But when i took it to the yarn store, i was told it’s only a 5.5″ opening, lol. So, here i am. back to holding my 4.5mm knitting needles. Yah, wont take long. Provided i get to work on my Lilac sleeveless top uninterrupted. And since when do i get the luxury to knit in peace????

This pic was taken on the way to the yarn store. Malcolm’s knitted pants is almost done and i’m going there to ask how many stitches am i supposed to decrease for the top part or waistband. I’ll be able to wrap up this project by this weekend.

Haih….. it’s already Friday and i still have one and a half inch to knit. I swear, if i ever knit another pair of pants for my kids, i’ll never knit them using circular knitting needles again. Especially when it comes to those small sized circular needles. The fine tips of the circular knitting needles makes my fingers so painful.
Each time i finish knitting ten to twenty stitches, it takes time to move more onto the needle from the base of the circular knitting needle, you know what i mean? This slows me down so much. Only about ten more rows to go before i finish knitting Malcolm’s multi-colored striped pants. Oh, there’s more to knit after that. Let’s not forget there’s still the waistband….
