Furballs' Misty Meowtains 山霧迷離

Furballs' Misty Meowtains is a further development from Clouds and Meowtains.  In this one, we have added in the blowing mist / clouds for effect.  This has made the written pattern more complex as both RS and WS rows could now be the "action" rows.  This piece gives me an impression of Chinese "water and ink" paintings of mountains / cliffs and misty clouds



Furballs and I thanks you for giving generously to our local cats / animals centres when using the following pattern in part or in whole. Stray animals deserved a warm and safe place in the cold winter

Happy knitting and meow meow till we meet again :)

Furballs' Broken Stone Leaf Scarf

Image
It is getting hotter and hotter here.  Moo Moo and Tabby is ready to unzip their fur coats and change into Sphinxes. Though it is strange to release winter item in the middle of  summer, but I just fool myself saying I am planning for the coming seasons lol Furball's Broken Stone Leaf Scarf is a long scarf adjustable with numbers of repeat.  It is a continuation from last month project , enlarging the pattern and stack it up sideway / zigzag with overlapping to increase interest.  I can see some will comment on that it is too busy, but well, we all have our own preference and that is what made life interesting. Enjoy the pattern and please donate generously to you local Cats / Animals Shelters when using the pattern in part or in whole.  Furballs and I thanks you in advance. Our next pattern will be a hat using the same old same old granite stitch and broken seed stitch.  I know it could be boring (zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz) but consider it is only on...

Furballs' Treelings start Growing 傻貓樹苗開始長高

Image
This small pattern had been in my back burner for a long time.  Now I finally have the time to update it and knit tested.  This is the first attempt and mix and match the pine tree stitches of various sizes.  The size of this piece is good for being a coaster and hope you will enjoy knitting it. This is a charity pattern, so if you happen to use it in part or in full, furballs and I totally appreciate your donation to your local cats or animals shelter to help the strays in need in the coming winter.

Furballs & the Granite Stone

Image
I came across the granite stitch a few month back on YouTube.   It is a four (4) row repeat knit pattern that is easy to execute and a no brainer to remember.   Even when your furballs meow and distract you, I do not think you will be lost in this simple pattern.  This pattern is also a fast knit as it is made of three (3) rows of stockinette and one (1) row of garter, so the height is building up as expected and see "result" quick.  It is a good stitch pattern to consider for your travelling project. The granite stitch is a very interesting stitch pattern that has not shown up much in knitting design (or maybe it has but the designer(s) did not mention it).   I had used it in at least one of my design (not yet published, pattern still need improvement when I have time to go back to it again).  When looking from afar, it really resembles crochet stitches.   Though it has no yarn twisting (as in crochet) to give it the strength, the decrea...
