November 2008 Archives

Tonight, I was out to play at the Nokia Trends Lab at the Showcase, under the Alexandre III bridge in Paris. Here's a little preview of the pictures I took: Chairlift, Uffie and Santogold.


I had a great spot on the sidelines and there were many fun things to do while the concert was going on (being the star of a fake magazine cover, getting my cellphone engraved...) but that's a tale for another day!

Start: 26th November 2008
Finish: WIP
Needles: 4 mm - 80 cm Addi Lace
Yarn: Wollmeise 100% superwash merino Sockenwolle, "Single Malt", 2 skeins
Pattern: Fisherman's Rib with two strands held together over 26 stitches with 4 chain-edge stitches
I'm
just soooo not in control sometimes and ended up casting-on for
something new, while neglecting the near 15 other WIPs/UFOs floating
around my flat. But hey, a Knitter has to do what a Knitter does: Knit.
:-p
So, I got the urge to knit some Wollmeise last night but
wasn't in the mood for socks (coz really, I could've just picked up and
work on my Vinnland again). So I decided to go ahead with the plan of making a new scarf for myself out of my newly acquired skeins of Single Malt from my trip to Sauerlach last week.
I have to giggle a bit at the name I came up for the scarf, since it's a Fisherman's Rib and the colourway is called "Single Malt", I thought it appropriate to call this scarf: "Drunk Fisherman". :-p
This
is the first time that I'm knitting something using double strand of
yarns. At first I thought that it will look funny because the variation
of the colour length in each skein runs differently. However, to my
surprise, it gives an interesting blending effect...and the colour
actually now reminds me of lightly roasted coffee beans, too.
The
fabric created is also really nice and springy. I don't know what I was
expecting, fabric-wise, when I concoct this project in my mind....but I
have to admit that I really like the result.
What's left now is
my hope that the scarf will end up long enough with just these two
skeins. Fisherman's Rib literally devours the yarn...and really, I'm
speaking from experience.

For those shops who have bought our first collection SS09, dont worry... your esteemed sweaters are almost done, on 5 Dec the production will get over and well... our pleasure to deliver the first collection into your hands, thats actually an outlook of your goods from a beginning-stage, lets say when those were just embryos...
The new spot visited this time in Beijing has been the famous Chinese Circus, an amazing show of artists and tumblers who really let us stay with such a suspense for all the show, what we really liked has been the fact that these young acrobats really find their strenght helping each other in all their exercises... its a kind of Uneeto's philosophy, beeing unite we can all succeed !!! Check below where the show was acting and what a great bunch of young people China-Circus is...
Here some pics we got at Uneeto's factory before to rush and get the flight, sorry if the quality isnt good but we are not Testino and neither Thorimbert yet, so give a look and shut up!
These are random new collection colors... warmer than SS, at the end during colder periods we all wanna be warmer not?!
When its time to leave its better to rush, we always think to be in late but as usual we are always the first, same as when we understood was the time to come and settle down in this country... wanna have services?! China. Wanna have affordable prices?! China. Wanna share with an amazing culture?! China. Young generations, wanna find market spaces?! China. Wanna have super cool partners?! China. Remember this: nothing is easy, but nothing is impossible... you need endurance, insanity, leanings and you must be the first, we mean you must dare and be avant>> better not as us when we go to the airport, we are always in advance, niii haooo...

Finish: 22nd November 2008
Needles: 5.5 mm Addi Turbos
Yarns: Lang Yarns "Cashmere Tweed"; 35% Cashmere, 65% Merino Extrafine
Pattern: "Inner Truth" Scarf by Laura Andersson, previously in the now defunct MagKnits
Yay! I finished my new Inner Truth Scarf in about ten days! That ought to set some kind of record for me!
Sorry, but I haven't got any FOs to show this time. After finishing two
jerseys in a row, I'm now faced with a pile of other WIPs to tackle. ;-)
Anyway,
I thought that I would start reporting on all the knitting groups that
I attend, so that I would have something to write.
