QQ's dress

2007-02-06T02:18:00.000+08:00

quite motivated after completing ann's pouch and i decided to work on some of my many WIP projects.

managed to dig out QQ's half completed dress. i muz admit tat i've nbr completed any piece of clothing. i still haf a half finished skirt, tube and even a quarter of a vest.

i oso dug out some old yarn tat i wana use for the skirt of QQ's dress. the yarn was unravelled from some abandoned project so it's all curly. i always thot old yarn looks like maggie mee.

anyway, i haben even managed to find the ends of the yarn den to untangle and wind before i can continue. seriously doubt the dress can b completed in time for CNY...mayb a mini skirt instead? hehe

i had fun trying out different stitches for the bodice of the dress. juz some wierd pattern tat i came up wif but the effect is quite unique. i luv stitches tat gif the finished work a more textured surface rather den a plain piece of work.

2007-02-06T02:10:00.000+08:00

Handphone pouch

2007-02-06T02:04:00.000+08:00

tis pouch was done for the sony ericsson fone tat i no longer carry. i experimented and achieved the diamond effect...tat's wat i luv abt crocheting...the basic stitches are few and easy, yet the possibilities are endless.

one is onli limited by one's own creative and abstract thinking

anyone interested in the pouch? obselete to mi now and wat a waste

Commercialised Crochet Scarf

2006-01-22T02:26:00.000+08:00

yes, i like the pattern very much but not all the colors used. black & maroon are too strong & clash wif yellow & blue.

Nice beanies from Winter Time

saw these 2 nice beanies at winter time tonite.

i like the butterfly feature & the colors of both beanies.

Progress of YT's scarf

2006-01-22T02:00:00.000+08:00

took a picture of YT's scarf & showed her my progress too. still a long way to go & she's flying off on fri!

she suggested i crochet since tat's much much faster but i wana persist on wif knitting leh.

muz master it & learn more stitches.

i dropped a stitch but managed to fix it back. i'm learning to see the pattern of the finished work.

Bottle Holder

2006-01-21T19:01:00.000+08:00

Found another piece of work finished long time ago...tink it should be 5 yrs ago for yeow.

very sweet light blue color & has rows of popcorn stitches.....tink i'll get a small water bottle & use it myself.

i love the effect of popcorn stitch much better den fan so i use it a lot.

btw, tis is definitely 100X nicer den the Siggs white crochet bottle holder wif no design watsoever.

Scarf that I saw at Winter World

2006-01-17T17:48:00.000+08:00

Wow! Isn't this pretty?! HQ & I saw tis at Winter World...according to Brenda, not difficult. I think I can try tis next....just knitting & purling....yesh, i am getting the concept now

My 1st knitting class

2006-01-09T11:51:00.000+08:00

Just back from my 1st knitting class. so excited...it's so much easier wif someone teaching den reading instructions. i couldn't figure out the instructions for so many yrs but wif brenda as teacher, suddenly it's workable.

but the yarn was a killer. can't even count the stitches not to talk about doing any pattern. in the end, brenda suggested i juz do knit so the way which i readily accepted. anything to make the task easier. tink i'm motivated enuff to try to finish YT's scarf by next wk & start on one for HQ.

took a picture of my progress too.

Yarn for YT's scarf

2006-01-09T11:42:00.000+08:00

Brown Bag

2006-01-09T11:22:00.000+08:00

my proudest project todate coz i really like the way the colours turn out.

as i have stated before, i'm a color coordination idiot!

tough when i am so into crochet...u haf to be creative when u like crafts but too bad i haf so little color sense.

and i love the buttons...so cute

Beach bag

2006-01-09T11:15:00.000+08:00

This was done like a thousand years ago.

easy enuff backpack tat's perfect for beach. not much privacy though wif the see thru design.

yesh, the straps are in different colors...all shades of brown which was my fav color den

Pouch

2005-12-31T23:05:00.000+08:00

tis pouch is big enuff for my handphone & pda so i lug it around the office all the time.

tis was made using leftover yarn and i love the colors. i dun haf an eye for colors so i'm lucky tis turns out bright & looks quite decent.

i used popcorn stitch which i love the effects and very tight sc for the yellow middle portion.
