Yarn-gasm

Yup, u heard rite. Thats the word my friend, Yati The Yellow Yarn came up with. Its really suitable for this dont u think.

Look at what my lovely friends gave me!!! Imported yarns and hooks from New Zealand. Yati and Nadila Roslee just finished their 4-year studies at New Zealand. They said they were gonna buy me something for souvenir. And something turned out to be these amazing gifts! I would never thought in a million years will get this kinda yarns for souvenir. Ever. Im speechless and overwhelmed. I have no idea what am I going to do with them. Yet.

Love theseeeee..and the colorss. Yum. 

Flurry red. Very soft to touch. 

No idea what to make with these. Someday someday. 

100% polyamide/nylon - very light.  

Same as above but in purple.

This one comes with free pattern on back of ball band. Coool, if i know how to knit.

Look at the size of it. Big huh.

Its call harmony. its quite apt, isn't it.

Its made of 50% acrylic 50% wool. 

Wendy. 100% bamboo.

Dont forget the hooks. 

You can see how big the hook is. Can u imagine how thick the yarn need to be able to use this?

Thank youuuuuuuu so much!! I really reallyyyyy love them to bits. You guys are awesome! 

My name is....

Many friends of mine asked me to crochet something with their name on it. And I always said that i dont know how to crochet alphabets. So one day i found this blog, Crochet.is.Fun that gives a tutorial how to crochet the alphabets. After I scrutinized all the techniques it requires me to do it, hey, I can do that. I think.

So I decide to try to crochet one. In the end is not that hard once u know how. Heres my result.

Theres a couple of mistakes here n there but it still turned out okay.

Oh, this was the first time i made a ridges hat. Yay!

Birthday gift

Its a good thing i know how to crochet because then i can make a lot of things to give to my friend as a present. It save me time too instead of going to many shops to buy a gift. Because we women(I would) tend to survey as many shops as possible before we make a decision. U need a prefect gift for a specific person, rite?

Since my friend's birthday was around the corner, I subtly asked my friend what his fave color n so on just to know what kind of thing he likes as a birthday present. So much for subtlety, he figured it out and directly want a RED hat. Well his wish is my command. :)

 Voila, I made this hat for him.

He's soooooo excited when he got this! He's such a dear man. I like being friend with him. :) :) :)

Happy Birthday Is! :) :) :)

Granny Maniac.

When i first learnt to crochet a granny square, i had this idea to make a granny square afghan. So i completed the afghan with 12 squares in length n 5 squares in width. Unfortunately it didnt turn out like i imagine it should be because its tooo short for my taste. Therefore i needed to add more squares but i already lost the excitement of it so i just KIV for the future when the urge present itself again.

The afghan that is too short. :(

After a lonely year it resided in my box, i happily took it out to finish it. so i added 2 more rows in each length n width. 

See, now i can use it to warm my feet. :)

Granny Bag

Last year i needed a new bag but i dont want to buy it..n instead i decided to make one..so i found this granny bag n i was thinking, THATS IT!! I want this one..After all the hardwork i had to sew the lining - bcoz i hate this part, n im proud to say ive finished it with flying colors..imagine my joy when i used it for the first time when people kept compliment my bag - even this one lady in the bus asking me where did i buy it. Usually people prefer to ignore other passengers (for me that is). But that moment we kept talking all the way until i dropped off. The experience rejuvenate my inspiration to make more....but maybe next time.

 Im using solid granny square pattern.

The other side of the bag. I love to play with colors. 

Even my former boss asked me to make one for her. Sadly i forgot to take pictures for that one. But im glad she likes it! :) :) :)

Thanks for viewing! Happy Tuesday.. :) :)
