I’ll admit it, I’m a little obsessive when it comes to making paper cranes.

Apologies for the silence on my side for the past few weeks! Life has been moving on steadily as it gets warmer I get more and more reluctant to sit inside with my poor neglected sewing machine.

I leave you with some Trooper tea and a promise that things will not be so quiet henceforth!

Tea, my dear?

My co-worker recently came back from a holiday to Taiwan and brought me back this adorable iPhone cover named appropriately enough, ‘iDevil’. I thought it was awesome and immediately put it on the phone but I think I was even more impressed by… the packaging.

Poinsettia

I love projects that knit up quickly, anything longer than 2 weeks and there’s no doubt I’m going to lose all interest. This Poinsetta has been in my closet for over a year,  Sydney weather isn’t really cold enough to justify a neck cowl but the colour of this wool is too beautiful to hide away.

This project was my first attempt at lace knitting, after a few false starts I picked it up surprisingly quickly and it’s probably when I fell back in love with knitting!

Of course, it’s not all sunshine and roses. My attempt at gauge is once again ridiculously off and squeezing the cowl on past my nose is a struggle, even blocking didn’t increase the size very much. But, given the perfect fit of the cowl around my neck maybe my gauge is fine, it’s just my big head getting in the way lol

I have to confess I have way too many cameras (10 at last count!).

Scarves are the first thing everyone learns how to knit.

I created this Amineko as a birthday present for a friend, she promptly posed it next to my Kidnapper and proceeded to abuse him for a while.

I recently borrowed ‘Cute Dolls’ by Aranzi Aronzo and was immediately blown away by how… cute everything was!

Apologies in advance to the readers of The Curiouser, i am currently preparing to embark on a 3 week holiday off in Malaysia and Thailand! The blog will be quiet until my return, but I hope to bring back tons of things to blog about.

Until the end of May, adois~

My circles aren’t in any way perfect and the thread winds and curls lightly around my wrist but the sheer simplicity of it all makes me happy.
