You Pick, I Knit

Today is public holiday. Eventhough it doesn't make much difference to me, I'm glad I get to enjoy a quiet day at home. Woke up around nine, make myself a cuppa tea, turn on Ray Charles's cd then continue to work on bluegina. For anyone who doesn't know me much, I'm a huge fan of jazz and blues.

Okay, back to bluegina. Finished the lace pattern around noon. By four, the front piece is almost near completion. I tell y'all my needles were flying. I guess my knitting mood is back again. It took me about twenty minutes to seam and now it's finally done. Phew! Bluegina does look a little small on me, but I guess it will fit my sister very well. She's a lot more petite compare to my size. I know I have been bitching a lot about knitting this top. But hey, don't get me wrong, I love this pattern. I think the design is brilliant. Anyhow, I don't think I'll be knitting it again, for the third time, no way!

Pattern : Glampyre.com
Yarn : Adriafil Cotone Povero
Needles : 4.25mm and 3.75mm bamboo circulars

Okay, since Bluegina is off my list, done frogging Snug Polo Neck Sweater. I think I only have two UFO's left, really need to get a head start on my christmas knitting. I narrowed down two pretty cardis that I have been wanting to make. But the problem is, I really can't decide. Can you help me with this? All you need to do, is to vote the best from these two patterns and I'll make it.

Pattern 1 - Arisaig from knitty

Pattern 2 - Lacy Cardigan from Vogue Holiday Knitting

p/s: Thank you so much for everyone nice and supportive comments on those flower pins. I plan to make more and put up some for sale before christmas. Stay tuned, kay!

Your bluegina looks great!
I'd have to say Lacy Cardigan. You can dress it up or down, and the blushes is just too pretty.

I say the Arisaig... I was just oogling it on knitty yesterday! I guess I am in the minority here though, huh?
