My weekend

Thank you so much for all your lovely, supportive comments on Juno, which as always, I appreciate them very much. You guys are just too awesome. I'm extremely flattered and ecstatic you guys like it as much as I do. Thank you! Thank you!

I had a tough week at work so there's not much knitting going on here. As much as I wanted to finish that swing jacket or that pair of sock...I'm just not motivated. So other than finished two loads of laundry, stocked up the fridge with a week worth of food, climbed about 10 flight of stairs on stairmaster...here's some highlight of my weekend...

kusha kusha
Back to simple knit & purl
Kusha Kusha scarf from Habu textile. This is what I have been knitting all week. It's done. Just waiting to be washed and felt.

cupcakes from teacake bakeshop
More Cupcakes for me
I got these little fellows from one of my favorite
bakeshop. (I'm actually savouring the vanila flavor with pink frosting as I'm typing this post. ..yum!)

silk coco
Winding up some delicious yarn
Laine du nord mulberry silk gifted by my buddy olgajazzy for my birthday. Thank you so much, girl! They're so yummy. Kinda like melted chocolate.

Vanessa, you take the most wonderful photos! I'm not sure what's more yummy looking - the cupcakes or the three squat, delectable skeins of mulberry silk!

That Habu kit looks intriguing. I love the look of their stuff, but I'm not sure how practical it is. Good for home design at least!

From the photo (beautiful BTW) it looks like you are using the Habu yarn with metal content. If so, will it still felt?
