Here’s a sneak peek of my latest knitting project, something I’m making for my new home. I’ve held back from decorating the place that I’m staying at currently because I know it’s only mine for the summer, but I’m already very excited about having my own place in the fall. I’ll have free license to decorate it however I want to and hopefully this project I’m working on will make the new apartment feel a little bit more like home.
Also, just wanted to tell you guys that I’ve got some exciting things for the blog coming up in July! I’ve been working really hard on this stuff behind the scenes and there’s only a couple more weeks until I can reveal it all to you, so stay tuned! =)
P.S. Ten points for anyone who can guess what this is going to be! :D
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]

[ID: A stack of the following books sits on top of white bedding in front of a white wall (from top to bottom): PACHINKO, IDOL, LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES, PEOPLE PERSON.]

Blanket? that's the best I've got.
Love the last shade of turquoise!
The knitting project or the blog project? If you mean the knitting- my guess is a blanket. If you mean the blog my guess iiiiiiissss- a new look? Sponsors?
I have no idea what to guess, but I'm excited! I hope you feel more comfortable and at home in your apartment. :)
that's nice! is it going to be a sweater?
I'm going to guess a blanket…I can't wait to see what you're new place looks like!

Thank you for commenting on my blog. I can't wait to move out and decorate a place of my own!
I mean… it's obviously going to be a castle built of yarn.
I can't believe you have knitted all of these things! Amazing – I wish I was this skilled.
Following you :-)

I just started knitting this week and it is so much fun. I'm doing it right now actually as I am replying to blog comments. I'm looking forward to seeing your project. Mine is a red jumper, it is going to take weeks I think.
hummmm… I'm clueless!
