Cowl love…
I know it’s been so long since I last blogged, thank you (my lovely readers) for sending me messages demanding an update! And kindly wondering if i’m okay^^
Before anything else, I would like to say Happy Chinese New Year! If you didn’t do so well with you last new start, here’s another chance… “New Chinese Year, New Start!!” ^0^
So what have I been up to….. hmmm.. a lot of travelling, shopping.. and best of all my mum came over and spent a whole month in Japan with me~~~ And she knitted me this lovely brown cowl (top right in the picture below) during her stay, and I love it!!
Neck cowls are everywhere this winter!! And I got a bit crazy and asked her to teach me knitting, the three mini cowls the softies are wearing are proudly hand knitted by me!!!!
I’m not sure if I have mentioned in this blog before that I have a sister! She’s a very fashion sensitive person, and she knitted me the white cowl (upper left in the pic) as a present!!! I’m such a lucky person^^
It might seem that I should have more then enough cowls, but I would like to knit one for myself!!! I’ve always wanted a seedy scarf after seeing one on Minh’s blog, so I asked mum to teach me how! It’s not as hard as I thought, but I keep stuffing it up for some reason and hence the progress is extremely slow! It might be ready by next winter! 
I also crocheted this mobile case for my mum~ She recently got a new phone and is looking for a suitable cover! I especially like the strawberry!! By the way, strawberry is in season in Japan right now! I am eating tones!!!
To finish off this long overdue post, how about a picture from my trip to Nara… I love this pic, and seriously deers were everywhere there!!!!
Have a great weekend everyone!!
I’m so glad to know about you!! I was wondering too if you would not be sick or something.
I love your cowls! they’re so cute! I might try to make one too =p . I’m just learning how to knit too! But seems more difficult for me and just like you said, more slooow. Anyway, have a good weekend!!
ps. Excuse my english =p
Love the cowls! I wish that someone that near by me know how to knit and can teach me! Welcome back Jo! You’ve been missed! Xin nian kuai le!!
Gorgeous knitting! I’m still learning, slowly… I get quite discouraged when I drop a stitch or get things mucked up. Yours looks beautiful. Also LOVE that strawberry! ^^
believe me sara i stuff up so so many times!!
but it’s also a good way to learn! make mistake, learn to correct it!!! doing that i start to be able to recognise the different stitches!
Hi Jo!!!
Nice to hear from you!!!
Happy NEW YEAR to you, too!!!
I’d like to learn crochet, instead!! Your works are so nice!!!
Have a nice day!

Hi Jo!
Oh, I LOVE your picture in Nara. It is one of the most beautiful town in Japan and I am so jealous that you were there! Did you eat lots of nice Japanese food too?
