Finished Raglan Leaf T-shirt

In this January, i had unexpected free time and finished a couple of WIP.







This is a pari of socks for my sister. The pattern is from "Sensational Knitted Socks" and yarn is Regia silk in dark brown. For its mock cable pattern, it is such shrunken.



And i finished this Raglan Leaf T-shirt by knitting school dropout. The yarn is the domestic one i flogged from the Clapotis i made last spring but not satisfied with its result (i customized the size and substituted the yarn and it didn't work right). The surface of knitted fabric is not neat but it is very light and warm. I have already put it on several times.




The new project is Martha from Rowan 37. I'm knitting with 4ply cotton in color black (or very dark grey). This yarn is also frogged form unsuccessfully finished project. I usually start with back, front, and sleeves but this time, i wanted start from sleeves. I have knitted up one full ball and reached at armhole decrease.


In this winter, I knitted only this leaf t-shirt for large project, as my work was quite busy and no more plan for rest of this season. Most of my knitting projects are small one like socks or mittens. I am now readying for large spring project. Too early? No, not really casue i have many small projects in mind too.



On this weekend, i went a craft store to get some materials necessary for future projects. A pair of small leather handle for bag, tweed fabric, a pattern book for potholders, two balls of linen yarn called "whitelane." It is sales season. I am going at another yarn shop today, during lunch hour.
