For me, usually sleep, yumcha with family & relax at home.

Try New Things for Bath - soap making & knit-crochet new things

I love learning all sort of crafty things although I am too slow so still learning not many! 

I have been learning soap making for months. It is interesting & natural but I learn making it because I can make a gift set like this! LOL

So I tried to knit a dishcloth (here as a wash cloth :P) that is knitting from diagonal from here. I added a loop for hook.

Soap Saver: I found that when I put a soap on soap dish in bath, it cannot dry proper and if my sister using another soap mean need another soap dish? So I was looking for soap saver that can hold the soap, scrub & hanging on the rack. I found this one but I cannot understand the instruction as I learnt crochet with diagram! So I used what I just learnt from my sampler of 70's pattern to re-create mine! hehe!

My YearLongKAL2013 Afghan Update

Started the YearLongKAL2013 Afghan in March and now already August, only 4 months to go! 

My status is...... 50% of Squares have done!!! Still have a lot to do but let sharing my up-to-date status to you all! 

I enjoy this Year Long Knit-A-Long 2013 project very much. Learning new stitches, sharing to others and when seeing other knitters showing their pieces on G+ that may attract me to knit that pattern! hehehe Each piece may only consume 2-3hours to do.

Also inspiring other people to join in! This is a very happy journey of knitting! :) How's about you?

70s Pattern Book

I think many knitters like me love to flip around and keep a lot of patterns! I inherit my mom's knitting & crochet pattern books (they are from 70s). Some are still looking pretty for nowadays at least I think so! LOL

This one I quite like it and especially with the little belt! 

I made a sampler to see! 

Look good, agree? :P

Tapestry Crochet

I have been sick for a week,... and then to see doctor.... @.@ so now I am still taking medicine.

Meanwhile, I started again my frogged project.... (was started in Nov 2012 when I was in holiday at Kota kinabalu, Malaysia)

This crochet technique should be called as "Tapestry crochet" as I searched online. This pattern is from one of a Japanese pattern books I bought in last Summer! 

The pattern here is in 2 color, Black & White.

Base is Round and crochet in Black color, the floral pattern part is in 2 color and the tricky part is the instruction indicates in White = my black color,... and crochet in Black color can make you blind!!!!! 

After back from holiday and I realize the floral part I did (around 5 rows) had some mistake...ugh..... 

After sitting in my bedroom for months, I decided to dig it out and try to finish it! After nights from the last 5 days sitting in my bed, turn on my desk lamp to get better light then I started over again the floral part. NOW, here we are: 

18 more rows for the body part (black color only),  and then with the scallops rim & strings.... 

My target is to KO it within this week! 

Stay tune! ahahahaha

May is arrived.... 1st project of this month

I bought this pattern book when it was on sales. This crochet top is my favorite one! Also, I found this color cotton yarn, like dark jean blue. 

I never tried to crochet like this to wear! It is very interesting (at least for me) that crochet from a square, then connect to another square... total 28 square.. then DONE! This is amazing..... 

I crochet one on 30/4 but I kept it as a sample. So yesterday I started new... I made two... wow... it took me more than an hour per motif... hehe look simple but still a lot of workload!

Or 

once I can memorize the pattern, I can do faster!?!! 

Stay Tune! :)
