Those Anthropologie knits are definitely an inspiration. I love getting ideas from looking at magazines and catalogs.

Your knits are beautiful~I am particularly enamoured with this green ribby one. Beautiful!

Thanks for mentioning the Penang place~I woudl love to try it out. I am going to DC several times a week now, so I should be able to fit it in :)

It's great that you like roti canai. I have it for breakfast at least once or twice a week.
The best ones are crispy at the corners but lightand fluffy in the middle.
well if you are ever in Malaysia, look me up for the best roti canai ever.
Cheers Mona

I told you that the Rebecca cardi is not that difficult and it's fun to knit! Looking forward to seeing it completed and modeled by you.

Anthropologie is so inspirational! The pale blue sweater looks very similar to the Debbie Bliss Cotton Angora Rosy sweater.

I just walked by Penang yesterday on my way home from class and decided that's where I was having dinner next week. (If I had remembered to bring, you know, MONEY yesterday, I would have eaten there then. Malaysian food is heavenly... See you Wednesday?

There's a Phildar sweater in the summer issue that looks almost exactly like that Anthropologie sweater on the bottom left. I've been iffy about knitting it but now I'm sure I'm going to. The apricot sweater is simple to knit once you get into the groove. My problem is that I knit without reading the pattern thoroughly. I really would love to knit it in aplaca.

Mmmmmm, Penang. I've only been there once but it was delicious. I wasn't aware that it's a chain, interesting. There's another Malaysian restaurant on that street, I believe it's called Malaysian Kopitiam, it's also very good. The vegetarian duck gets my seal of approval.

Love the apricot jacket! The design is just too beautiful. I'll be excited to see your finished product.

Gosh, you've been busy! All looking great - I've got something like the boa-yarn going on for a collar and cuff trim on a denim jacket for my middle daughter. I've got it worked out it my head apart from the actual fixing....

love that anthropologie catalog! i'm such a dunce with that rebecca cardi. frogged it last night. will try again after i can figure it out.

Hey, I'm from Penang! It's a lovely island and the food there is like no other. Unfortunately, I moved to Kuala Lumpur with hubby and only get to make infrequent trips back to my parents'. Roti canai is really common in Malaysia. There are roti joints at every corner and most are opened 24 hours. Yum! The scarf for mini looks great. I know what you mean about novelty yarns but they are fun once in a while.

Froggy,
Are you going to be at Knit-Out this weekend? If so, I would love to meet you! :)

Roti canai looks so yummy! We don't have really authentic ones here in HK and I miss them. The Rebecca cardi is looking great!

Okay, now I'm hungry....

You made me so hungry with that post. Yum!

Funny - when we moved here to DC from New York, one of the first things on my list was to find the nearest Singaporean/Malaysian restaurant. Penang is definitely as authentic as you'll probably get in the DC area. Kopitiam and Straits Cafe are all right, but less so than Penang.
I wrote a whole "ode to Singaporean food" a while back. :)
That Anthropologie wrap/sweater is lovely. Wonder how difficult it would be to lift the pattern...

This is so fun! I saved the anthropolgie catelog just so I could try and figure out how to knit the cover sweater. I love them as well....

I am LOVING that dragonfly sweater. Dunno what's up with my obsession with asymmetrical cardi's, but every time I see one I'm inspired to make it. Now I have to decide which to start with - a sweater like that one or a cardi-wrap.

I think I have some similar if not the same novelty yarn to make a scarf for Brooke with. Patons or Sirdar something, I forget the details.. I love that apricot jacket, I've seen a few of them around and should really add it to my knit one day list!
