DreamPassion Sweater WIP

I have knitted the back piece of my DreamPassion sweater yesterday and it looks like this:

This is the right side.

..and this is the wrong side. I prefer the wrong side because I like the tuck stitch yoke. I should have turn my work over before knitting the yoke. Anyway, the yoke and raglan sleeves will not look nice because of the vertical lines. So I have changed to stripes for the yoke and knit only 1 inch of the tuck stitch just before shaping the raglan sleeves. It looks like this :

Do you think it will be nice??

What's On My Mind Now?

So sorry that I have neglected my blog again. Being so busy with machine knitting and latest craze is amigurumi. Just can't stopped making those cute and adorable amigurumi. Most of the them were gifted to friends, nephew and niece. Oops..sorry, got carried away ...I am suppose to tell you what's on my mind at the moment! I was looking at these odd balls and thought maybe I can turn them into something useful like a top or even sweater ... AND definitely knit it on my Silver Reed 280....

Top: Berry, Falkland British Merino Sock

Bottom Left : Aqua, Dancing Toes 

Bottom Right: Dark Byzantium, 2 Ply Sock

Oh I forgot to mention that these are my own hand dyed yarns. Since I am using my own yarns, I will name this project DreamPassion.  I think the combination of colours will be nice! What do you think?
