Hamanaka "Saika"knitting yarn

Used green Hamanaka "Saika"knitting yarn and Japan Daruma Silk Linen knitting yarn purple color.
Hamanaka "Saika" green color include: gold, green, lilac, turquoise, purple ..

Turquoise is one of my favorite colors, the best match --- of course, the Deep Purple Silk, you can quibble with each other the pleasing effect of the color.

This wear can show up the color changes.

Satisfaction:


In addition, my Knit-Friends used Hamanaka "Saika" orange and Online 134 Candy dark brown to knit the same style, very pleased with the effect.



Japan Hamanaka "Saika" is a lovely, elegant and beautiful, silky yarn detail.
Gradual transformation of the color combination.
Hamanaka "Saika" the summer of yarn are best for knitting or crocheting sweater sweater, coat, scarf and shawl.

Hitomi Shida 09 BK #12 sweater Hamanka summer cocktail

Hitomi Shida 09 BK #12 Sweater

use Hamanka summer cocktail

I started this project a few days before. Easy knitting pattern.
Use a larger knitting needles to let it look like lace.
I change my mind on yarn.
At the beginning, I prefer Online 134 Candy cotton yarn.
But when I try the swatch, the knitting part was not as my want.
But Hamanaka Summer Cocktail is much better for this project.
this is grey cotton yarn mix with silver metallic. It look much eleghant than Online Candy.

Just knit for several rows. Using Addi Circular needles 4mm.
Hamanaka Summer Cocktail have 4 color, Purple, blue, grey and red.
I would like the red one to knit Hitomi Shida 09 BK #

Now I am think to change this sweater into cardigan.
I'm alway fighting with myself.
I always knit the back side first, so I have time to think.

志田Hitomi Shida 09 Spring pattern book

Beside Alice Starmore, Hitomi Shida is one of my favorite designer.

She had 13 pattern book, all are in winter version.

This is her first Spring Summer pattern book.

All knitting project in her previous pattern books, but there is crochet project in this book.

I choose for planning projects, I'm not sure how many will finish.

Lovely.

Starting #7 crochet project and try a swatch of #8

I would like to try this simple but elegant project with Hamanaka Summer Cocktail - Red color.

This project is so boring at the lower part.

But usually I like this kind of design.

Wow, Lace dress. Must use white color, this is both crochet and knitting.

Very close to my winter project in green.

I like the collar of this sweater, I have not try this kind of project for year.
I think I would like to use Online 134 Candy to knit.
But new summer yarns will arrived in next week, may be I will change another new yarn.
This church pattern, I try this pattern before. I need to find it out and take photo to post to Ravelry.
If I try this project, I would add a short sleeve and add a zipper instead the button.
I believe that would look younger and much suitable to me.

Japan Pattern Book Swatch

Can't wait, this is my favorite Japanese Pattern Book Alice Starmore , I started the first project but restructure the sizes because the original will slim up the waist. But I prefer A-shape.
I'm using Hamanaka Extrafine Lame merino knitting yarn - Purple. Haven't put in my on-line store, because it sold very well at my LYS, it's not easy for me to update often. If anyone want to buy, please contact us or leave a comment. As usual, i'll answer very prompt.
Already finish the front side. I'm still very excited to knit and knit. Stop here, I need to work hard.
