Kraft Hunting Thursday - DIY

I only posted once on this title of "Kraft Hunting Thursday" before... ok, let's continue today! :P

Today, I found this lovely video to inspire you to re-create your old things to New.

In this video, it is showing you how to DIY your "classy" boring sweatshirt into Baroque-look! 

If you don't like the pearl-bead, you can add some triangle stud, or even star stud instead!!! Let's try to create your own!!! 

BTW, love this video!!! Hope I can make video like this in the future! ;)

Matryoshka Doll Keychain

I made this for my dearest sister who time-to-time would forget to bring her key! LOL

I thought ok... let knit a keychain holder for her & think Matryoshka doll is one of the popular icon for craft making beside like bunny, bear, owl,.... hehehe

I tried 3 times to reach this final shape... I knitted it in ROuNd & from bottom uP. When I was knitting to shape the head part... at the first 2 times didn't look right... then I tried to decrease 1 row with 2 knitting rows... then decrease again... That's it!!!! Look right finally! hahahah

I also did the lining in Purple with white polka dot.

Luckily I have the right color of purple in ribbon & facet bead! Yeah!

Baby bear

Why I made this baby bear way back in July?

Because my friend aka my customer whose sister (@Canada) is expecting a baby but at that time not known the gender yet! However, she wants to get one knitted doll for her sister to bring back to Canada. So we both decided to make a bear & with yellow color for more neutral! :P

um... my friend hasn't updated me if her sister is having a boy or sister! Let me ask her when I'll see her next week for our Gals' Xmas Dinner! XD

Little dress for a little one?!

I was thinking my 2nd half of the 2012 have not knitted too much... but when I made a list of what I have been knitting in 2012.. WOW... very impressive! LOL

This one I finished recently.... this little mint dress again I use the same lace as before but I tried to use one tone with a little touch of white instead of top in white, bottom in mint. Then I can add a little white tag on the dress with the name on it! What do you think?

For the headpiece, same as before. This time the end customer is a lady so I used a pearl button to enrich the look! :P

Hey, where is the owner of this dress????? Revealed later :D

love love, k

Little Elephant k in Oct 2012

I made this elephant in Mint color (organic cotton).

The dress & headpiece are mixed with Lite Lilac, white and a bit of pink.

Overall, I am happy with her and esp I like the dress is without button & an initial of my final customer,a 1-yo girl, K. :)

One more elephant girl is on the way to show here!
