Storybook hooded sweater

2012-01-22T22:48:00.000-08:00

During his last trip to US on sep 2011 , my dear hubby bought this yarn, from a famous yarn manufacturer Lion brand. align with the name the "pound of love" really weighted 1 pound which is eq to 400g and the size was really big... bigger than my hubby's head ( trust me that his head is big enough ...) . The picture on the cover caught my eyes and i search in lionbrand website looking for the pattern that happened to be free ( lucky me ..). this is the link to the pattern and , yes you need to be a free member before you can access the pattern. the pattern is free to download at lionbrand website( http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/90427AD.html) . its a simple garter stitch sweater suitable for beginners...

i need to get the sweater done before the trip to universal studio and plan for my baby to wear the sweater with the purple legging on the flight to singapore. the time is limited and yet i was so busy with my paid job at that time.

So i choosed to knit during my trip to and from from work at the red light ( i am a driver not the passenger). It took me 3 weeks to finish and this was the only time i was gratefull that the traffic jam in penang was so bad...:P

The sweater finish at last and eventhough it finish after the singapore trip it is still be very useful especially when i bring the kids to the movie.

safrina ruffle hat

2012-01-15T08:29:00.000-08:00

upon request i crochet a hat for a dear frens daughter, Safrina ( not sure whether i get the spelling right or not). this hat is made from olivia 100% cotton yarn, a very comfortable yarn especially in our hot tropical weather. to buy this yarn you can click on this link: http://deenor.yarnshopping.com/yarns-for-summer-olivia-cotton-white-light-green

pattern for this hat is using the basic hat pattern

Chain 3. Join with slip stitch to form ring.
Round 1: 6 sc in ring. Slip stitch into first sc to join round; chain 1, turn
Round 2: 2 sc in each sc around (12 stitches). Slip stitch into first sc to join round; chain 1, turn
Round 3: *sc in first stitch then 2 sc in next stitch* repeat all the way around (18 stitches). Slip stitch into first sc to join round; chain 1, turn
Round 4: *sc in each of the first two stitches, then 2 sc in next stitch* repeat all the way around (24 stitches). Slip stitch into first sc to join round; chain 1, turn.
Round 5: *sc in each of the first three stitches, then 2 sc in next stitch* repeat all the way around (30 stitches). Slip stitch into first sc to join round; chain 1, turn
Round 6: *sc in each of the first four stitches, then 2 sc in next stitch* repeat all the way around (36 stitches). Slip stitch into first sc to join round; chain 1, turn
Round 7: *sc in each of the first five stitches, then 2 sc in next stitch* repeat all the way around (42 stitches). Slip stitch into first sc to join round; chain 1, turn
Continue increasing in this manner until you reach the appropriate circumference. (For example, if you use sportweight yarn and you are making an adult hat, it make take you as many as fourteen of these rounds to achieve the right circumference.) Use a measuring tape (the flexible kind used for sewing) to measure around the edge of the circle. Once you have the right circumference, continue as follows:
Round X: sc in each stitch all around. Slip stitch into first sc to join round; chain 1, turn
Repeat Round X as needed to achieve the right length; for preemies, work rounds until about 5 inches from the beginning; for babies, 6 inches; for toddlers, 7 inches, for children, 9 inches; for women and men, 10 inches.
Fasten off. Weave in ends.

For the ruffle round:

round 1; chain 5 , 2 dc in the same space. be sure to pull the dc to be as long as 5 ch, making 3 long dc in the same space. 3 long dc in the next space. repeat to the end.
round 2: ch 2 , sc in the next space.* ch1 sc in the next space.repeat * to the end. fasten off and weave the end

Kaseh Syazlyn earflap hat

2012-01-11T12:29:00.001-08:00

Hi all, it has been sometime since my last post. the fact is i am really buzy like a buzy bee lately. some people said , wah are you sure you are really busy coz always saw you upload your crochet project in FB... hehehe... let me tell you the definition of passion guys... passion means no matter how busy you are you will steal sometime to do what you like most ( or among the things you like most). last few weeks has been a nightmare in my life... many thing never turn the way it should be and i walking uphill almost alone . the year end stocktake result turn upside down with so many process incompliance and who will have the worst nightmare rather than a material manager? huhuhu... my spirit is very low at the moment and i need to do something to lift it up. The truth is just now i woke up at 2:30 am to finish the 'Defend' report that i should share in this 10 am morning meeting.but i got stuck halfway and i cannot call anybody at this wee hours... sooooo... i crochet while waiting for my dryer to finish drying my cloths.. ( thanks dear hubby for buying me the dryer so i dont have to rush and hang my cloth every morning...:-) ).

the cap above is the one that i crochet last 2 weeks for a dear frens daughter, named Kaseh syazlyn. using j hook and 100 cotton yarn from peach and creme that my hubby bought from his last year trip to US. Well, as you all know cotton is not that soft like wool, but the texture is so comfortable to wear and i will always crochet baby's hat using cotton because of our hot weather...

the pattern is rather simple, using the basic hat pattern

mengait dengan kaedah loop stitch ( jarum satu)

2011-12-19T23:00:00.000-08:00

saya selalu nampak bag yang dikait menggunakan kaedah ni dan selalu tertanya tanya apakah nama kaitan ini dan macammana nak kaitnya... ye la kalau dah tak tahu nama nak google pun tak tahu nak google apa. hinggalah saya membeli sebuah buku 2nd hand hasil karya PAM DAWSON. barulah saya tahu variasi kaitan ini dinamakan loop stitch. untuk mengait loop stitch ini tidaklah sesusah yang saya bayangkan. ia cuma kaitan menggunakan kaedah single crochet, bezakan satu jari dibelikan pada benang ketika mengait hingga membentuk loop.

disini saya sertakan video bagaimana saya mengait loop stitch. maaf jika ada kekurangan dan feedback pada video ini amat dialu-alukan. jom kait sama-sama.

2011-12-14T19:20:00.001-08:00

sebelum menggunakan kaeadh magic loop ni punya la malas nak buat stokin .. tau le kalau nak kait stokin guna kaedah knitting ni kena guna 3+1 jarum kait. masa kait tu terkehel2 handle jarum dan benang..tak suka..tak suka.Lama dah dengar guna magic loop method pakai circular needle ni.. tapi tak sampai seru nak try .. tetapi bila saya beli benang kat daiso n benang tu nampak sangat delicious untuk dijadikan stokin kat kaki mungil baby saya tu saya merajinkan diri belajar teknik ni... ooooohh... senang je rupanya... ingatkan susah... kalau tau camni dah lama guna teknik ni..

jadi kat sini saya nak share cammana saya gunakan teknik ni. magic loop in kita gunakan bila circular needle kita terlebih panjang untuk mengait dalam bentuk gelung.maknanya gelung kita tu kecik tapi needle kita tu panjang.saya nak mengucapkan tahniah pada whoever yang cipta kaedah yang very effective dan senang ni...tahniah.. tahnia...

boleh view video cammana saya guna kaedah ni untuk kait rib stokin kat sini. sorry video tak clear sebab 3gp jer... (hehehe macam nama wayang je ni).. the reason saya tak suka pakai video cam ialah:

1. lambat yang amat nak upload ke YOutube

2. malas nak set posion camera atas tripod.

3. malas nak charge bateri

4. malas nak transfer ke laptop

malas segala2nya....blurp...

so nasib le ye... blur2 je video ni.. tapi hope it help... feedback are welcome..

a pair of thick socks

2011-12-12T23:39:00.001-08:00

Ini yarn yang saya beli dari daiso masa pegi KL last weekend. the yarn tebal la jugak. kait guna knitting needle 4 mm. ini first saya kait gunakan kaedah magic loop. tak pernah try lagi. so guna circular needle panjangnya +-40 cm saya try kait guna kaedah magic loop.malangnya untuk pair yang kat atas tu saya terdrop the stictch n bila saya pickup balik tersalah pickup sebab tu nampak cam awkward sikit... bila sedar dah banyak kait malas la nak bukak lagipun stokin ni kait untuk baby pakai time tido je..so belasah je la kannn...heehe.

okeh ni saya nak share pattern yang saya gunakan untuk stokin ni... stocking ni tebal enough and bile bahagian atasnya kita lipat dah kira macam jadi booties untuk baby..cantik sangat... cuma be careful je jangan jadi macam saya terdrop stitch pastu malas nak repair pulak tu...so the pattern is:

oooohhhh..tak nampak ek...kesiannya... cuba click atas gambar bagi besar kot2 boleh nampak.

mengait dan dapat untung

2011-12-10T15:28:00.000-08:00

INILAH SAYA

saya percaya ramai antara yang membaca blog saya ni memang hampir2 hari hari mengait. ada yang macam dah sampai kategori addicted sebab kalau sehari tak pegang jarum rasa cam tak lengkap hidup ini. Tak kira balik kampung atau pergi bercuti sekali pun mesti ada projek mengait yang dikepit bersama ( saya tahu sebab saya pun macam tu...:-)). saya ni start mengait dari umur saya 12 tahun. so walaupun kadang2 bila terlalu sibuk dengan benda2 lain pernah berbulan-bulan saya tidak memegang jarum tapi kalau dah pegang tu memang susah nak lepas.

bayangkanlah kalau dah hari2 mengait mestilah banyak projek yang boleh disiapkan. contohnya tahun lepas sahaja sepanjang saya pam susu diofis sahaja lebih dari sepuluh barang yang saya siapkan dari stokin bayi, kasut, baju sejuk, dress dan banyak lagi. saya menyusukan sepenuhnya baby saya hingga kini. di ofis saya gunakan pam spectra 3 yang ada dual shield. ada teknik yang saya gunakan dan saya boleh pam susu saya tanpa memegang shield tersebut... handsfree la kiranya. untuk yang pernah pam susu pasti tahu betapa malasnya nak untuk pam sampai 2 atau 3 kali sehari. tapi bila masa yang sama saya gunakan juga untuk mengait... wah amazing... memang jadi rajin betul... malah ternanti nanti..lambatnya nak pegi pam susu ni...:-)

Bila saya baca buku crocheting for fun saya terfikir jugak..selama ni kenapa saya tak cuba jual apa yang saya kait. bukannya tak ada yang order kat saya tapi saya selalu menolak dengan sahsyatnya sebab saya tahu saya takkan mampu siapkan order on time.Ada juga yang kata , jual je item yang dah ready made.... buat siap2 lepas tu jual la... tapi tah le... tak pernah pulak saya jual apa yang saya buat. selalunya saya akan kait untuk 4 anak perempuan saya dan anak2 saudara serta anak kawan2 saya secara percuma sahaja.

satu2 nya benda yang saya jual ialah topi baby ini. itupun setelah kawan saya beriya-iya meminta saya kaitkan untuk dia kerana dia rasa topi ini sangat cantik. Saya jual topi ini dengan harga RM25 tapi kawan saya bayar RM30 kerana katanya dia tak sampai hati nak bayar harga saya bila tengok hasil kaitan dan benang yang saya gunakan untuk kait topi itu.Walau bagaimanapun semangat mengait saya masih begitu. pesanan yang datang selepas itu tetap saya tolak atas alasan saya tiada masa. Tapi kalau tiada masa mengapa hampir setiap hari saya mengait...hmmm....

GILA BENANG?

bila memandang longgokan benang di penjuru bilik sempit di apartment kami ini membuatkan saya terfikir betapa banyaknya wang yang telah saya keluarkan untuk membeli benang.Itu tidak termasuk lagi dengan apa yang saya simpan di dalam bilik menjahit saya di satu lagi rumah (atas faktor dekat dengan tempat kerja saya tinggal di apartment pada hari bekerja dan balik kerumah satu lagi hanya pada hujung minggu, kadang2 tak balik pun... malas)

Anak saya pula kata ..mama ni macam berniaga benang la... mama jual la benang yang mama beli banyak2 ni..tak boleh...mama sayang la benang2 ni..macammana nak jual...( pulak dah). the good thing is bila join group facebook saya tahu yang saya tidak sendirian.... rupanya ramai lagi orang yang gila benang kat luar sana....cuma ... diorang ialah pengait2 yang menjual hasil kaitan mereka... tetapi saya??

Buku crocheting for fun and profit ni dah lama saya baca sebenarnya... dari 2 tahun lepas lagi. tapi saya tak ambik port sangat

benang kait cotton

2011-11-25T01:41:00.000-08:00

satu masalah yang selalu aku hadapi masa mengait ialah... i love to crochet or knit garment. aku bukanlah orang yang gemar mengait alas meja ke..tutup tv, chairback dan sebagainya. so satu masalah ialah benang yang ada dijual kat kedai2 biasa di Malaysia ni benang akrilik. tau la kalau benang akrilik ni dibuat baju dan dipakai diiklim Malaysia yang panas mengerlip ni..pasti rasa cam nak terbakar je dalam baju tu. antara brand benang yang biasa aku jumpa kat malaysia ni ialah benang minlon ( berlambak benang ni) dan Nona. Dulu ada brand ondori tapi sekarang ni memang tak pernah jumpa dah.

Bukan tak de benang cotton tapi yang paling tak tahan , harganya... mahal yang amat... boleh tembus poket kalau beli untuk cukupkan satu baju. so sekang ni dah dapat beli benang cotton yang murah2 ni direct terus dari kilangnya kat turki. aku pun ada jadi reseller untuk jual benang ni ( dropship). so kalau korang nak beli banyak benang cotton yang best2 dari turki silalah beli kat sini:
http://deenor.yarnshopping.com/products,usd:0-3.19,q:14
Tapi kalau ada yang tak mahu order banyak2 dan nak try beli seketul dua untuk test dulu aku ada jual dalam loose packing.just browse through the catalog and let me know yang mana berkenan nanti aku akan emailkan harganya.

Golden Dragon , Chinatown Singapore

2011-11-18T06:46:00.000-08:00

I just went back from Golden Dragon craft store , located near the ChinaTown Singapore. Kat sana beli la beberapa items as souvernir for myself... nothing can make a crafters happier more than yarns and hook.sebenarnya harganya tak le murah pun. compare dengan what i can get in penang , penang jauh lagi murah. dah le sekang ni singapore exchange tinggi so end up memang mahal giler la kalau nak compare ngan penang. tapi dah namanya nak souvernir untuk diri sendiri beli jugak la a few things... tengok2 mak ai sampai $63 kalau X ngan 2.5 dan RM159... uhuhuhu...kalau kat ATUZ seberang jaya dah dapat satu bakul besar ni... ni cuma masuk dalam plastik cinonet tu pun tak penuh.... so these are the items yang telah kubeli:

1. Benang sirdar smiley stripe...cantik banget...cadang nak buat dress untuk sikecik..tak pasti lagi nak crochet atau knit... nanti nak cari pattern. benang ni aku rasa pricenya okay la..consider murah..kalau convert duit mesia dalam RM 19 seketul... beli dua ketul je untuk mengelakkan lubang dalam poket semakin membesar..benang ni 100% bamboo...pasti selesa dipakai... tak sabar nak buat ni.. tapi banyak projek WIP lagi... so memang kena bersabar( kalau mampu la)

2.Counter untuk bilang row knitting. harganya kalau lepas convert ... ubby bising tu...kata nak pegi universal studio... tak mandi2 lagi..anak2 semua dah siap... okeh sambung balik karang kalau larat yer... bye...

Knitting: single cast on

2011-10-25T06:11:00.001-07:00

single cast on juga dikenali sebagai backward loop cast on. cara cast on ini adalah cara yang paling senang. walaupun begitu agak kalau kita baru belajar mengait agak payah jugak untuk kita mendapatkan kaitan yang sama rata dan tidak senget kalau kita guna kaedah ni.untuk guna cara cast on ni...row pertama kita perlu dilakukan dalam row purl.

mummy's handmade

2011-10-17T20:57:00.000-07:00

I overheard my 3rd daughter talking to her imaginary friend. The conversation goes like this( after translation..:-) ) :

fren: Wahhh... you have such a cool dress , where did you buy it?

dotter: My mummy made it for me...

fren: you sure... its beautiful..can your mummy made such a beautiful dress?

dotter: sure my mummy can make many many pretty stuffs...

fren: wah... your mummy best la...

and the conversation goes on.....bla bla ...

i remember those old days when mummy's handmade was the 2nd class item. you will never wear or use your mummy's handmade with pride. i still remember i always hide the pencil case my mum made for me when i was like standard 2 or 3...i would never put it on the table... i would just take out all things that i need and hide it inside my drawer.but nowadays..handmades are treasures and we start to look at it preciously ...

cool fisherman net thread...

2011-10-16T17:24:00.000-07:00

i need to start work now... just to eager to share about thist...but just now on the way to work i crochet a few rows of HDC as the base of a small back that i am currently working on..yep... i feel good upon finishing Alisha's sun dress yesterday...so i start a new one even there are still many WIPs in the row. ...:PPPPPP..

the thread is the fisherman net thread in , color is soft brown...very cool color... normally for fisherman net thread the common color that you can find is white, softbrown or greenish yellow. i bought this thread for other purpose, but last few week i drop by at YIYI craft in queensbay and found they have bunch of very attractive bags using some kind of string looks like rafia , but softer , in cool dark brown color... and guess what it take to finish one bag? 4 or 5 rolls of it and each rolls will cost you RM35 ... so you do the maths... the bags inspired me... and here i am now.. kicking off my new bag with soft brown fisherman thread that cost me less than RM5... i am confident i dont need another roll to finish the bag...one will be enough. so peeps... wait for the end result... need to work now... see ya then...

2nd day progress

i should has finished crochet this if only the thread not finish... hehehe...when i said that i just need one roll to finish it , i just nonsense..looking at this most probaby i will need another 3 or 4 more rolls to finish it, including the handle. i might need more if i change my decision and turn this bag into a sling bag. currently i plan to crochet this into a short handle handbag ( what we call it?) . i plan to go out tonite to se if i can find this thread in stock somewhere. This color is quite rare... dont know whether i can find it or not...and i always regret i did not buy enough at the first time... So this is the 2nd day progress picture.

Alisha's sun dress

2011-10-16T10:19:00.000-07:00

This is a stuck 2 month old project. In the beginning i planned to crochet the bodice and knit the skirt but end up i became lazy and decided to sew the skirt.the plan turned out well at first , but i have to forgive my self for sewing it at thewrong side the skirt. I have put so much effort in making sure that right side looks right coz i crochet it in rows. so at the wrong side i just crochet the SC to make sure that The DC row is always at the right side... all the effort gone when i sew it using the wrong side... sob..sob.. its just to late when i notice it and i was just to lazy to open the seam back... so here it goes...hopefully it still looks ok..

burung hantu kiut

2011-10-15T09:19:00.001-07:00

Gambar burung hantu yang kiut ni aku dapat dari satu magazine knitting edisi tahun 1982... bila pegang je pagenya terus berkecai.. hancur berderai... sebelum semuanya hancur menjadi debu aku sempat snap gambar ni...kiut kan? one fine day ( hmmmmm... one fine day? ) aku akan buat burung hantu ni... or sesapa nak try buat kalau dah siap nanti boleh share gambar ye...nampai macam senan je ni... nak kena disep piece per piece..

kait jarum dua : casting on dan casting off

2011-10-15T08:50:00.000-07:00

casting on ialah antara langkah awal yang perlu dipelajari oleh pengait2 jarum dua ni... ( somehow term pengait ni mengingatkan aku pada satu cerita seram yang pernah aku dengar satu masa waktu kecik dulu)...:-) so sebelum pandai membuat baju... kasut atau apa2 yg kita nak buat ngan menggunakan jarum dua ni langkah pertama ialah casting on. terdapat beberapa cara casting on ni ..tapi antara yang popular ialah

1. kaeadah long tail. kaedah ni memang kemas dan akan menghasilkan bahagian bawah fabrik yang elastik... contohnya kalau nak buat stokin dan seumpamanya kaedah ni memang sesuai. cuma untuk kaedah longtail ni kena pastikan bahagian benang yang direserve tu akan menckupi untuk cast on sebanyak mana yang dikehendaki.

2. single cast on. ni cara cast yang paling basic.. paling senang tapi tak berapa kemas compare to longtail.

3. cable cast on - Thanks tu Sindar Ery from da'knit yang memperkenalkan aku ngan term ni... tak tahu pun selama ni kaedah ni namanya cam ni. But yang ni among cast on yang aku paling suka guna... very elastic... you tube kat bawah ni aku buat dlm keadaan tergesa2 sementara anak tido dan tak bising... sorry for the low quality video not so good sound... cikgunya pun tergagap2 ..maklum le tak pernah jadi cikgu..:-)

4. memula belajar knit dulu aku ni tak de guru... belajar sendiri je dari buku... maklum le masa tu youtube pun tak de lagi..so dalam terkehel2 sorang diri tu dapat jugak aku mengait beberapa item untuk baby first aku 12 tahun yang lalu. masa duk belek2 buku tu sampai sudah tak paham cammana caranya nak buat double cast on... so aku pun menggunakan kaeadh aku sendiri iaitu aku akan kait loosely rantai dengan jarum crochet , sepanjang mana yang aku kehendaki...kalau terlebih jng susah..bongkar aja..hehehe... pastu aku naikkan loop dari setiap lubang rantai tu dengan menggunakan knitting needles... tarraaaa... dah boleh mengait cam biasa dah...senang betul kaedah ni...banyak tahun jugakla ku mengamalkan kaedah hingga aku belajar kaeadh lain... mcam 2 benda jugak yang siap ngan kaedah ni.

untuk casting off pula ada pelbagai cara juga antaranya;

1. basic cast off

my yarn addiction is getting more severe

2011-10-15T08:39:00.000-07:00

this is a common sickness among knitters and croheters... yarn addiction... we tend to buy yarns anytime we stumble with any promotion or discount and end up dunno what to do with that.. this afternoon i have spent RM 47 of my hard earn money to buy sale yarns...sad to say the yarn may exist before was know how to crochet...a very very old stock yarn that they need to let go... but the prices are not that cheap... but i still bought it...i also bought 2 cable needle 4mm and 3 mm just because i still dont have the size ... not because i want to use it... sob..sob.... so total spend out today is RM64... and still dont know what to do with all the item i just bought...

Then we will be going to our real house on the mainland over the weekend...but the plan doesnt work well.. we r lazy to go back... we went back for a while just to check the house (even its just 10 mins drive ) then come back to our aprtment...and now with the 4 kids in 900 sq ft apartment we are having the space crisis. in the other house 1 have 2 rooms for my stuffs... one is the small bibik room downstair near the kitchen and another one is my sewing room. my runaway bibik use to call it bilik menyulam ibu... and its quite big 15X 15 sqft i guess..... with rack like craft shop...i even have one rack in the storeroom under the stair case to accomodate my crafts thingssss...(its a lot... i have a habit of buying and not using...hehehe). some of it is the leftover stock from my craftstore that doesnt really work well last time... i guess i pick not proper location and not agood biz plan.. its more like a wrong decision i had made to help a dear lifelong-fren who is later not helping me back...**sign*** so i close the store and have tons of craftng items not sold... i pick some of it and bring back to my house. i just lost the zest to sell it online...+ my bz schedule stop me from doing so..my mum said you can sell it in bulk with the cheap price to any craftstore... but i feel sayang with all those thng so that's it.. i just keep it..hehehe in my mums store in my hometown....
i need and advise how to store yarns and crafting items in my small room in the apartment without making mess and disturb my roomate...:-). how you guys store it?

the sun hat...

2011-10-12T14:23:00.000-07:00

i just so fell in love with this easy to do sun hat... this isjust a basic hat what was modified lil bit and looks cool... i cannot help my self makin the second of it... still using the same yarn..peaches and cream and no 8 tulip hook. this one i started will waiting for my car radiator to be fix... just imaging this is the result of 30 mins waiting... superfast...coz the yarn is thick.. and the hook is big...hehehe... now i has to deal with my laziness to pick t back and finish it...:-P . it's just a few round to finish.. Let me share the pattern. Alla Koval the famous crochet designer has done a great job to reincarnate the super duper easy pattern ( i did when i was 12 and first learn to crochet) into a very sophistcated creation.

peaches and cream...always delicious...

hi gals... i just found that my favorite yarn has the website...it is http://www.elmore-pisgah.com/index.htmn hehehee... silly ...who dont have website this days... currently i just have a few skeins left and i am desperate to have more...and i dont know when my hubby is going to US again... maybe not this year.. so i have to buy it online... but gosh... the price in the website is lots lots more expensive than the price in wallmart. for the cone one my hubby bought it at USD8 but they sell it online at USD11.25 while the skein of 70g my hubby bought at usd1.80 is sell at USD2.80 and sad to say... they just deliver to US and canada only. looks like my dear brother in Rochester has to help me already... but the shipment from US to Malaysia is quite expensive.... i m gonna burn hole in my pocket this month... or may i will buy it next month....kena control budget nih...

the purple booties...

2011-10-11T02:50:00.000-07:00

Hi guys... lately i am hook up into crochet until i forgot about my knitting project. this is a very simple knitted booties that i am currently working on and hope to finish by this weekend. Hmmm...aan like others i have a syndrome of finishing one of the two in a pair... i hate knitting and crocheting things that have 2 in a pair... socks.. slippers ..what else..huhu... looks like i have to overcome it if i want to finish this booties.
this is the current work in progress... not so much yet... still not moving for quite sometime...

This booties made up from a verrrrry simple patterns suits the beginner in knitting... and the end result is quite impressive. What you need to have a pair of knitting needles. 3 mm will work out best but mine is slightly bigger...I tried to knit with satay stick but it turns out to be smaller.yet the sticth is neater.. so it means if you want to knit it using satay stick you need to cast on more than 25 sticthes.

yearghhh... i am writing this entrance while running a very high load report that took almost 30 mins to process..and i need to do it today. tomorrow is my judgement day in the week where every wednesday we have a management meeting and i need to share the scrap cost performance..and heck last week was a bad week.. and looks like i am gonna be torn into pieces by the other piranha tomorrow...:-(... oooh... i dont want to talk about this... i am still in the workplace now as i have to wait for my hubby to fecth me up today... my 8 years car is giving problem for the first time and it laid in the workshop now.. i think my car become jealous because now i dont have to spent my monthly wage on it anymore...that why la it start to demand for money...sob..sob..oooh... what i am babling about now....??

ok back to the booties.. that ...uaahhh...feel lazy to write la... will continue at home tonite it i still have some spare energy.. and fuhhhh... the report finally published... see ya at home... wait ar... gonna share with u all the pattern...

the poppy sun hat

2011-10-07T16:41:00.001-07:00

Hi all,

ini adalah topi terbaru yang aku buat dari benang yang my hubby bawak balik dari US. benang tu seketul banyak giler...100% cotton..jenama peaches ( so far sepanjang karear aku sebagai pengait ni aku tak pernah dengar lagi brand ni). nak kata high quality tu mungkin tak le kot... satu benang rega dia 8 dolar lebih... so kalau diconvert duit kita dalam 25 ringgit kot... tapi memang banyak beb...topi ni sebenarnya aku buat saja2 je... since my baby tak boleh pakai topi... tapi sebab suka buat aku buat juga... tetiba member aku mintak nak beli... susahnya nak tentukan price... tak tahu nk suh dia bayar berapa...dilema ni... tapi topi tu aku dah pun pass kat dia semalam..harap anaknya yang cute miut tu akan bertambah2 kiut lagi lepas pakai topi ni...hihihi...

Bunga ni pula aku kait dari benang biasa je... benang akrilik nona yang tak glamer tu... tapi sebab bunga kurang selesa pun tak rasa sebab tak bersentuh ngan kulit. aku ni kengkadang simpati tengok baby pakai topi benang akrilik ni tengah panas mengelip... nak bagitau mummy panas tak pandai lagi...mummy pulak sebab nak baby tu comel sarung je topi yang cantik even panas betul.. hubby aku mmg pantang kalau aku try letak topi benang akrilik atau kita panggil benang bulu kambing ni atas kepala anak2 dia tengah panas...kalau time sejuk takpe...aku pun sama je la sebenarnya... tahu baby tu akan tak selesa tapi nak letak jugak jugak... hehehe..so topinya dari cotton yang sangat comfortable... cuma bunganya saja dari benang akrilik.
ribbon ni aku beli kat kedai bunga sebab masa pegi cari ribbon tu hari cuti kedai yang aku selalu beli ribbon tu tutup.so kena beli kat kedai bunga... mahal giler amoi tu cas aku...semeter 3 ringgit... nak buat cammana sebab dah suka ribbon ni aku beli juga...

so harapnya korang dapat inspirasi dari topi ni... pattern? ..huhu ni paling malas ni.... nanti aku lukis n post kat sini...sebab aku ni kalau explain pakai word ramai yang tak paham... nak publish kat you tube aku ni malas yang amat nak set my video cam...i got feedback that the video i uploaded using my samsung omnia bunyinya berdesir dan gambarnya blur... sorry yeah..actually i know already... wait arrr.... nanti ada masa akak publish video yang berkhasiat sikit...

pattern ni dibuat menggunakan benang ini. tapi pelbagai jenis benang lagi boleh juga digunakan..

untuk projek topi kiut ni...antara benang yang boleh aku suggest:
http://deenor.yarnshopping.com/sku:fnt2-21480

hati tengah berbunga2 sekarang sebab m,ember yang suh aku buat topi ini untuk puterinya telah membayar extra RM5 untuk topi ni sebab katanya dia puas hati sangat dan ramai puji2 topi ni cantik...tq..tq so much...first time jual hasil crafku...dapat duit extra pulak..happy nyer...
till next time... happy crocheting peeps....

Hi...
Ramai yang tanya saya macammana nak mengait guna jarum dua ni... sebenarnya saya pun tak expert sangat tapi bolehla sikit-sikit. saya dah prepare series of youtube video on basic knitting. kalau tak paham anda dialu-alukan bagi komen dan feedback.

1. Pengenalan

2. Memulakan kaitan ( casting on)

3. mengait motif stokin( stokinette stitch)

4. Mematikan kaitan ( casting off)

Harap memberi manafaat untuk semua.

My eldest daugther is starting to pick up crochet.currently she just know how to crochet in rows...
so last weekend i decided to teach her to crochet in round.Looks like the step confused her and she started to grumble and felt dissapointed. you can read her conflict in her blog : http://alanicrochet.blogspot.com/ . to make her excited i crochet a few fruit coaster for her to see what she can do with round. It help to make her eager to learn it...:-)

i have uploaded a video to share how i made this coaster. the one that i ve uploaded is for green apple coaster but by changing the color you can create the others. the method is just the same.

My T-shirt crochet trim

2011-07-03T09:19:00.000-07:00

I bought this blouse many2 years back but i hardly wear it coz everytime i wear it i feel that i've downgraded myself to a very low level.It is a short blouse that made every move resticted or else somebody will be lucky enough to see my back or my tummy.this is me in the shirt before i crochet the edging...

Anything above my bottom will always make me uncomfortable.But i like this blouse so much so i crochet the edge to make it longer.

This is the close up of the stich. It is ideal to be applied as garment sticth.

this is the instruction for the stich:

row 1:2 dc in the 4th ch from hook. * ch 8, sk 11 ch, ( 2 dc , ch 2, 2 dc) in the next ch, sk 3 ch ,( 2 dc , ch2, 2 dc) in the next ch, rep from *, ending row with 3 dc in the last ch, ch 3 , turn.

row 2:2 dc in the 1st dc. * ch 4 , sc around center of ch-8 sp. ch 4,(2 dc , ch 2, 2 dc in the next ch-2 sp) 2 times, rep from *, endng row with ch , 3 dc in tch, ch 3 , turn.

row 3 : 2 dc in the 1st dc.* ch 5, sk 4 ch,sc in sc,ch 3 , turn,5 dc around ch-5 sp just made, ch 3 , turn, sk 1 dc , dc in the next 3 dc,sk next dc,dc in the top of tch,( 2 dc , ch 2,2 dc in the next ch-2 sp) 2 times,rep from *, ending row with 3 dc in top of tch,ch 3 , turn

row 4 : 2 dc in 1st dc, * ch 8, ( 2 dc , ch 2,2 dc in the next ch-2 sp) 2 times,rep from * , ending row witch ch 8, 3 dc in tch,ch 3 , turn

rep rows 2 to 4 for patterns.

ok... one fine day if i manage to capture my best self in this blouse i will post it here...until then..happy trying... this is an awesome stitch

my haflway crazziness...:-(

2011-06-17T16:54:00.000-07:00

I have bad habit...doing thing halfway... eventhough i said i will finish whatever i have started it usually take me years to finish it. ( but really i still finish whatever i have started..hehehehhe...give some credit to me la...) so... to topup to my halfway craziness and my website programming passion i just created a new website :
http://thecrest.melur.com

, dont ask me why i choose the crest coz i really dont know , eventhough i am sort of not like it i still choose it... really dont know why...but i like the tagline so much ( i created it myself yeah...) : the crafters secret rendezvouz... from small when i started crocheting at the age 12 i dream to have a place.... like a shop but not a shop. it is a place where crafters can gather... have a cup of tea and chit chat while finishing their project... a secret rendezvouz where other people cannot enter... well they can if they want la...:-). but i have no money to setup those kind of place plus i am really buzzy with my paid job, and my family. hmmmm... so website looks like a good idea...

http://thecrest.melur.com
take a peek to the website , but it's still empty now... by and by i will update it. Once i update i will keep you all updated from this blog...

cheers!!

Afghan sticth- the bridge between crochet and knitting

2011-02-16T13:51:00.000-08:00

I crochet when i was 12, learn to knit from books and internet 12 years later ( still no youtube at that time if not mylife will be much easier..)when i was 24, now after 12 years at 36 i fel in love with afghan stitch. a very super duper easy stich that i never park in my mind before. wow.. a good cycle though .. once every 12 years...

This art of crochet also known as tunisian crochet ( well... i believe it is originated from tunisia base on the name ...:-P ). You basically need a different type of crochet hook to do this. it is called afghan hook , a similar crochet hook but a long one... normally around 22 to 30 cm. There is also a cable type afghan hook. so far i never found the hook around my town. So i just use normal aluminium crochet hook ( the big one) , size G ( n0 8). it still can perform the task but with limited size. i have to tied the end of the hook with rubber band so the loop wont slip away. the maximum loop i can hold with this hook is 50 loops.. really not bad eh? the 50 loop is enough to make one side of my 6 years old daughter's sweater... cool...

what i like most about this sticth is , the end product is almost similar with knitting product but i dont have to carry the knitting needle anywhere to finish it. Its just me , the yarn and 1 crochet hook. knitting-a love - hate relationship

from the treasure chest

2011-01-08T09:00:00.000-08:00

This is a very old book that somehow was keep together with my crochet and knitting stuff... really forget where it came from. Dunno what book is this as the cover all torn apart. this show how to create a flower granny square.

knitting, a love hate relationship

2011-01-08T08:48:00.000-08:00

if comparing between knitting and crochet, i prefer knitting end product much more, especially when creating garment.Personally i felt that crochet item is just suitable for decoration and not garment.Somehow i dont knit often , the reason is just simple... i hate bringing the needle everywhere.. while for crochet what you knit is just a short and small crochet hook and a yarn to creat the masterpiece. This is my current work in progress knot project which has been started more than a months ago...if its crochet i am sure i have finished so much earlier..

sunflower applique

2010-12-20T19:31:00.000-08:00

yarn quest

2010-11-18T13:15:00.000-08:00

hi all yarn lovers,

For those living in Malaysia will sure know how hard to get the good quality yarns. The only yarns you can find in normal yarn store is the typical 'benang bulu kambing' or wool that is not suitable for garment especially in our weather.I am glad that somebody has advertise the website selling high quality cotton yarns in this blog...and the prices is relatively cheaper compare to other yarn stores that sell high quality yarns can offer. In penang i found one at queensbay. The price there is almost double the price cottonhouse store can offer... great yeah? but know something at cottonstore if we buy in bulk ( means 20 and above ) we can get 25% discount which is Wowww!! great. but i dont need 20 yarns at a time..the most i need maybe only 4?

so gals ( n guys) if we all sum our orders together and exceed 20 yarns we can enjoy the wholesale price. I can accumulate the order and order it one time for you all. Then, when i receive the yarns i will ditribute to all of you. how about that?

so what you need to do is :

1. browse this website : http://www.cottonhousestore.com/and look for your favourite yarns. get the code or copy the link. Both will do

2. come back here and email me your yarn selection with your name + address

dont forget to put the quantity

3. Wait until the consolidate order reach 20 skeins and Make your payment. I will send you my bank account to make payment

4. Done. your yarn will be deliver to your door steps.

delivery cost and repacking charge is 1.50/skein. so let say:

1. you bought 6 yarn from the store at the price of RM15

2. After discount 25% the price is RM11.25

3. but i need to open the yarn package and send it one by one to you all. so i charge RM1.50.

4. so total you have to pay for a RM15 yarn is RM 12.75. Which means you save rm 2.25/ skein.

5. you save a total of 6X1.25= RM 13.5. you can even buy another high quality yarn with that price

which is a big deal rite...so think about it and let me know....

Topi Mickey mouse

2010-11-11T12:59:00.000-08:00

The most interesting about baby beannie is you can be as creative as you like... an the good thing is.. baby will be cute in any type of beannie. ini topi mickey mouse baru untuk alisha tapi dia tak sempat nak menggayakannya lagi.. hehehe.

untuk buat topi ni sangat mudah. basic untuk buat topi ialah
1. mula2 kita 4 rantai then cantumkan.
2. dalam gelung yg kita dah cantum tu pulak kait 6 DC ( row 1)
3. kait pulak 2 DC dalam setiap dc hingga dapat 12 DC (row 2)
4. kait 2 DC , 1dc , 2 DC selang2 sampai habis dapat 18 DC (row 3)
5. kait pulak 2 DC , 1 dc, 1 dc, 2 dc hingga dapat 24 DC (row 4)

ulang step ni hingga dapat saiz yang dikehendaki

chchchch

2dcdc2dc2dcdc2dc2dcdc2dc2dcdc2dc

lepas tu terus kait 1 dc dalam setiap dc hingga dapat ketinggian topi yg dikehendaki

then letak je any decoration yang sesuai.

this size fit perfectly for newborn baby up to 6 months. since the material is strectable,it will expand as the baby's head grows bigger.

leftover yarns keychain

2010-07-07T16:17:00.000-07:00

Hardcore crocheters will normally have pile of yarns an yarn leftover stock. I will show you some of the keychains that i made of leftover yarns . I also have a habit of buy the yarn first whenever i found it interesting and beautiful than later will figure out what to do with it( not a good habit though...). so as usual some of the yarns will be left there for a very long time before i can think about what i can do with it. Keychain and small flowers seem to be the good solution to this problem...:-)

knitted baby blanket

2010-06-25T07:12:00.000-07:00

Ini adalah selimut untuk latest baby saya. Nasib baik sempat siap untuk menyambut kelahirannya. cuma benang x cukup untuk buat topi dan kasut. pegi kat kedai tu tuan kedai tu kata stok lambat lagi nak sampai... malas pulak nak mencari kat kedai lain dalam keadaan sarat. so end up selimut ni je la yang siap.

Masa nak ambik baby balik dari nursery kat spital, ada sorang nurse kat pantai hospital (chinese) punya berkenan kat selimut ni... dia cakap...waaaa...very soft maaa... mesti benang mahal... aku kata x de la mahal mana rm5.90 jeh seketui...selimut tu pakai 3 ketui...beriya dia membelek selimut tu..kalau tak mengenangkan penat nak menyiapkan selimut ni nak je aku cakap kalau nak ambik la... tapi sayang la pulak...(fact: knitting is 3 times slower than crochet) hehehe...siap tanya pesal aku x buat topi skali...aku cakap x sempat....:P . see some of the uneven stitch... by right kalau lepas kait kita iron sket stitch tu akan jadi rata elok... tapi saya x sempat nak iron, terus basuh dan terus pakai...

nak buatnya memang basic betul...aku just cast on 145 stich... then kait guna jarum sebanyak 145 rows in stocking stitch , knit 1 row , purl 1 row) pastu kat tepi tepinya tu aku kait guna jarum satu in
daisy stitch

Daisy stitch

2010-05-31T21:09:00.000-07:00

Hi, korang semua pernah dengar tak daisy sticth..?it's one kind of variation untuk sesape yang suka mengait ni. saya dah lam cuba nak buat sticth ni tapi sebab tak de panduan nak buat selalu ak jadi. instruction kat internet pun cam tak berapa clear je. stitch ni sesuai untuk buat item-item seperti booties , baby blanket, sweater ( normally garment la)... dll ...

so since hari ni saya cuti..tak larat nak pegi kerja sebab tengah menunggu hari , saya browse thru youtube dan terjumpa intruction yang sangat clear dari theresa richardson untuk mengait stitch ni...laaa... rupanya mudah jer... ingatkan susah sangat. untuk yang berminat nak belajar buat daisy sticth here's the video:

Sepits

2010-05-22T03:18:00.001-07:00

a few of the sepit yang aku kait untuk my girls... bila pakai pi sekolah kengkawan order pulak... tapi semua FOC jer...:-) bukan susah pun nak buat ni....siap demand kaler lagi kengkawan diorang ni...hehehe... bebudak...

white baby booties

2010-05-22T03:10:00.000-07:00

White booties yang aku siap kait last week...

Blue baby booties

2010-05-12T19:47:00.001-07:00

baby booties ni dah agak la jugak aku siapkan dalam sebulan dua..cuma x de zest nak uploadkan jer... bersama2 dengan booties ni saya da kaitkan hooded vest jugak tapi tak tangkap gambar lagi.

booties ni sesuai untuk baby boy..

The child friendly cactus

2010-04-30T20:58:00.001-07:00

Ni adalah kaktus yang mesra kanak-kanak...hehehe sebab tak de duri dan tak payah siram, kalau nak cantikkan lagi , boleh jahit manik2 warna silver or kuning sebagai duri tapi sebab saya ni seorang yang pemalas dan tidak teliti cukuplah macam ni saja.

Sebenarnya projek kaktus ni semata-mata nak menghabiskan benang2 hijau yang saya beli beberapa tahun lepas entah untuk apa pun tak ingat dah. sebahagiannya saya dah jadikan katak dalam projek saya:
Katak kembung . walaupun dah buat kaktus ni banyak lagi yang berlebih ni.. nampak gaya kena cari green pattern lagi la untuk habiskan benang2 ni.

Pattern untuk kaktus ni saya tiru dari:all craft . respek r kat dia ni sebab come out with such a great pattern yang rasanya kita susah nak pikir. cute tapi mudah sangat nak buat.

Kat dalamnya pula saya stuff dengan kapas biasa yang kita boleh beli dalam bentuk gulung2 tu (kapas mayat...hehehe). sticthnya pulak semuanya single stitch kecuali untuk bunganya saja. untuk badan kaktus kita kait backloop single stitch

Pot dia ni sepatutnya warna merah bata ( terracotta) tapi since benang warna light brown ni aja yang ada ... bantai jer la...bestkan ada kaktus yang tak payah siram ni... korang try le...

crochet Rose

2010-04-27T10:10:00.000-07:00

Bunga rose yang sangat senang untuk dikait. lepas kait boleh tampal kat baju , beg,buat getah rambut, buat tali ikat langsir even kalau nak bagi kat mak korang sempena hari ibu pun boleh jugak .... pattern ni saya tiru dari : http://the-dark-knit.blogspot.com/2008/11/crochet-roses.html

Benang ni dah lama sangat2 dah... jumpa balik dalam treasure chest... tak ingat pun beli dulu untuk apa... tapi daripada tak buat apa-apa baik gunakan balik leftover yarn ni. buat ros ni tak pakai banyak benang pun. preparation time around 20 mins saja. ingat nak buat daun jugak untuk ros ni...esok jer la...:-) ...

Ni start2 nak kait... make sure tinggal dalam 10 inci benang simpan untuk cantumkan bunga nanti. jangan excited sangat sampai tinggal seinci dua je.. nanti kena sambung balik masa nak jahit bunga ni nanti.

Ini bunga yang dah siap dikait tapi belum dicantumkan lagi. sebenarnya tak boleh nak cantumkan malam ni sebab jarumku hilang dilarikan makhluk halus. Dia pulak dah tidur.. ikut hati nak saja saya kejutkan dia tanya kat mana dia sorokkan jarum mama dia.. tapi tak sampai hati la pulak. Esok je saya cantumkan sekali dengan buat daun.

konon2nya kalau dah jahit nanti begini lah rupa bentuknya, tapi yang ni cuma gulung2 je ..tak leh nak jahit lagi. besok bibunga rose ni dahpun siap dijahit...

Belajar mengait- lesson 1

2010-04-23T16:36:00.000-07:00

Berminat nak belajar mengait? sebenarnya kait jarum satu ni adalah antara kraftangan yang paling mudah. yang paling bestnya apabila kita lihat hasilnya. apa taknya daripada sehelai benang dan sebatang jarum tiba-tiba menghasilkan sesuatu yang sangan unik dan tak disangka-sangka. gambar ni saya letak dalam journal/blog pertama saya 12 tahun lepas. since kat sana pun dah tak ramai orang masuk baik saya letakkan kat sini.

Cara-cara memegang jarum kait

Paling penting sebelum mula belajar mengait ari satu cara pegangan jarum yang kita selesa. selalunya ada 2 cara orang pegang jarum kait, untuk orang biasa. Mungkin ada orang luar biasa yang pegang cara lain. 2 cara tu ialah pegangan seperti pegang pisau atau pegangan seperti pegang pen.

Cara memegang benang dan jarum bergantung samaada anda menggunakan tangan kanan atau kidal. Anda boleh mengubah cara memegang jarum dan benang mengikut keselesaan anda. Cara yang ditunjukkan adalah sebagai asas sahaja.

kalau korang kidal dan nak gunakan cara pegangan pisau refer kat gambar sebelah kiri ni

Kalau korang selesa guna tangan kanan refer gambar kanan ni.

untuk lebih clear lagi macammana nak pegang jarum kait ni sila rujuk pada video dari youtube ni:
1.Lesson 1

Biasanya untuk blajar crochet ni kita akan mulakan dengan membentuk satu gelung atau ring.Gambar dibawah menunjukkan cara untuk membentuk ring.
1. Memegang benang dan jarum

cara membentuk gelung juga telah ditunjukkan dalam video dibawah(lesson 1)

Simple scrunchie

2010-04-20T11:26:00.001-07:00

Katak Kembung yang tak berapa kembung

2010-04-20T11:18:00.001-07:00

Bosan pulak asyik mengait baju dan benda2 yang seumpamanya ..so sempena rasa nak lepak giler ni aku telah mengait katak ni. It supposed to be kembung tapi saya kehabisan kapas jadi saya gunakan facial cotton je untuk sumbat dalam ni. tak berapa kembung sebab sayang nak sumbat lebih-lebih padahal aku bukan pakai pun facial cotton tu...beli simpan je...

Memandangkan saya ni bukan jenis org yang teliti. kalau nampak senget menget kat mana-mana tu harap abaikan saja la ya.untuk mata katak ni saya gunakan felt warna putih. saya potong bentuk separuh bulatan then tampal mata ready made atasnya. untuk mulut pulak saya benang kait warna putih .

tengah kait yang ni untuk kakak, adik2 nya dah tempah nak warna pink and kuning.haish... tak tau la rajin ke malas nak buat ni...

Notice that felt yang aku lekatkan kat mata dia tu telah dijahit sebab aku tak jumpa gam... nampak kurang cute sket la kalau jahit tapi since i have an anxious customer(anak2ku memang ada talent nak jadi anzious customer) waiting aku nak siapkan hari ni jugak....:-)

Tengoklah katakku tengah menjeling dengan ayunya....

Kasut Baby comel

2010-04-15T09:11:00.000-07:00

Antara benda paling mudah dan effective untuk dibuat oleh anda-anda yang baru belajar mengait ialah kasut baby. yalah kasut baby ni walaupun kecik dan cinonet je tetapi impactnya amat besar kepada baby tersebut dan orang-orang yang berada disekelilingnya. Sebabnya baby yang pakai kasut kait , especially buatan mummynya sendiri akan kelihatan anggun bergaya dan menarik perhatian ramai...hehehe...

ni adalah sepasang kasut paling simple pernah aku buat. benangnya pakai sikit jer dan masa penyediaannya pun kejap je . Benang yang aku guna untuk buat kasut ni actually benang leftover dari project knitted baby sweater. sayang nak buang2 sebab seketui benang ni jer reganya rm 22. so daripada membazir je baik la dijadikan something yang simple and cute...:-). tapi kalau pakai benang bulu kambing minlon yang rm1.60 seketul tu pun akan jadi kiut jugak sebenarnya...malah boleh kiut lagi daripada ni.cuma dah alang2 ada benang ni pakai je la benang ni daripada membazir.

cara nak buatnya memang mudah. untuk yang dah ada basic mengait mesti senang nak paham . Kalau yang dah terrer tu , tengok gambar pun dah boleh agak nak buat cammana. Semua kasut baby selalunya kita akan mulakan dari tapaknya. untuk kait tapak kasut ni lebih kurang 22-25 rantai dikait sebagai garisan tengah tapak.

kalau korang tengok gambar ni dan nampak satu garis tengah dalam kasut tu , yang tu lah rantai yang kita mulakan untuk buat kasut ni . lain kali kalau ada masa aku masukkan video cara nak buat kasut ni k...

setelah betahun janji nak buat video kasut baby... hari ni baru dapat tunaikan...maaf ye kalau video kurang besh..

amigurumi

2010-04-14T16:49:00.000-07:00

Semenjak dua menjak ni baru aku berkenalan dengan perkataan ni walaupun sebenarnya dah lama jugak aku membuat toy2 menggunakan benang bulu kambing dengan kaedah kaedah jarum satu dan jarum dua ni. cuma baru tahu sekang toy yang dikait tu namanya amigurumi.

Amigurumi ni asalnya macam bunyinya la jugak..dari perkataan jepun. ia merujuk pada sebarang jenis mainan yang dikait dan diisi dengan something kat dalamnya (stuffed toy). selalunya dalam ni boleh diisi kapas atau kekabu. Tapi kalau yang kecik2 tu kapas facial cotton tu pun selalu aku masukkan dalam tu gak. amigurumi ni sendiri berasala dari 2 perkataan jepun iaitu ami yang bermaksud kait dan nuigurumi yang bermaksud stuffed toy. digabungkan bersama. selalunya toy ni dalam bentuk haiwan2 kiut seperti bear, kucing, harimau (harimau kiut ke?) kura-kura dan sebagainya. tapi ada jugak yang buat bentuk2 lain cam bunga dan hati contohnya...

Menda ni selalunya tak de fungsi pun. dibuat sebab kiut miut je.. tapi boleh la kalau nak buat keychain( comel dan kiut) atau untuk mainan anak2 anda...first amigurumi aku( cheee....dah tahu word ni kena la guna selalu), ada jugak jumpa dalam internet diorang gunakan word gumi je sebagai nama manja kepada amigurumi ni.... okeh...berbalik kepada first amigurumi aku tadi adalah seekor teddy bear yang aku kait untuk anak sulung aku yang kini sudahpun berusia 10 tahun. dia sangat suka bear itu dan membawanya kemana-mana bersama-sama hingga satu hari bear tu pun hilang tah kemana....tak sempat nak mengambik gambar pun sebab masa tu digital kamera ni tak popular lagi..malas pulak aku nak ambik gambar dan scan gambar tu..renyah betul.

benang yang selalu guna untuk amigurumi ni biasanya benang bulu kambing, selalu pakai brand minlon kalau nak yang lembut sket atau brand nona. jarum pulak kalau jarum crochet tu guna saiz 1.25 mm pun ok jugak...sebab untuk gumi ni kita tak perlukan stich yang halus2 macam kait alas meja tu...sebab kita gunakan single stich je ...

nanti saya akan postkan gambar2 gumi yang saya buat...setakat ni dalam simpanan tak banyak sebab kalau siap je sudah ada yang menanti....selalu bagi souvenier kat adik2 dan kengkawan je...

kotak manik/butang cute

2010-03-25T11:09:00.000-07:00

kotak manik ni memang sesuai untuk sesapa yang suka simpan manik banyak-banyak kaler. kotak transperent ni bagi kita senang sikit nak tengok manik2 tu sebelum guna. jumlah container kecik2 ni semuanya ada 24. setiap satu ada penutup sendiri yang selamat dan tak mudah terbuka.container2 ni pulak disimpan dalam satu kotak kotak transparent yang ada penutupnya sendiri jugak.

cute betul dan sesuai sangat untuk hadiah jugak. esp kalau ada mak ke kakak ke adik atau kengkawan yang memang minat dengan kerja jahit menjahit ni... satu kotak ni reganya 25.90.

a simple hp case or purse

2010-03-25T10:43:00.000-07:00

my daughter is nagging me to make something for her fren's birthday tomorrow. with a very limited time this is the only thing that i can think of.

crochet in all DC except some HC. it's very simple and easy.

cara nak membuatnya senang je. memula kait la rantai atau taliair mengikut saiz yang dikehendaki. pastu sambungkan untuk jadi satu bulatan. pastu kait je tiang pendek ( yang tak payah belit tu) dalam setiap lubang rantai tadi . kait je sampai la saiz yang kita kehendaki. penat bercerita ni tak tau la korang paham ke tidak. bahagian bawahnya pula aku jahit dengan jarum jahit tilam guna benang yang sama untuk mencantumkannya. dah sudah tu baru la kait dan lekatkan talinya pulak.

Simple and easy cherry applique

this is very easy to crochet... took about 5 mins to finish it.

Grape applique

2007-11-08T19:50:00.001-08:00

Applique is actually any motive that you can stitch back on anything (garment, tablecloth,beg , etc). This one is made using one of the free pattern i download from the internet.It is nice. This applique, then , has been used by my sister to stich on her daughter blouse.

this is the instruction In BM on how to do the applique:

Motif ini adalah motif yang mudah dan boleh digunakan untuk pelbagai projek. Anda boleh jahitkan motif yang telah siap pada sarung bantal tidak bercorak atau baju kanak-kanak. Motif ini begitu mudah dan hanya memerlukan 1 jenis stitch sahaja (SC) single stich/ (TP)Tiang pendek

Bahan-bahan

Benang acrylic bersaiz 20 (atau sebarang benang pilihan anda dari sebarang saiz) 2 warna satu warna untuk daun dan satu lagi untuk buah.
Jarum kait no 1(untuk daun) dan jarum no 6 untuk buah(benang boleh di tukar bergantung kepada saiz anggur yang anda mahukan).

Cara-caranya:

Daun(buat 3 helai)

1. kait 16 R. Kait 1 TP untuk setiap 14 R bermula dari R ke 2 dari hujung. Kait 3 TP kedalam rantai terakhir(16).Kait satu TP untuk setiap14 R pada bahagian sebelah yang bertentangan pada R asas yang sama.

2. Kait 2 R dan terbalikkan arah. kait 1 TP untuk setiap 14 TP. kait 3TP kedalam TP ke 15, kait lagi satu TP untuk setiap 14 TP berikutnya.

3. Ulang langkah 2 sehingga anda mendapati 4 gerigis daun pada sebelah bahagian daun. Menjadikannya 8 untuk kedua-dua belah daun. Matikan dan potong benang yang berlebihan

Anggur(buat 8 biji)

1. Kait 2 R. kait 7 TP kedalam R pertama.Matikan pada TP pertama.
2. Kait 1 R, kait 2 TP kedalam setiap TP. Matikan pada TP pertama.
3. Kait 1 R, (kait 1 TP kedalam TP, kait 2 TP kedalam TP berikutnya), ulang hingga habis pusingan , matikan pada TP pertama.
4. kait 1 R, kait 1 TP untuk setiap TP hingga habis , matikan pada TP pertama.
5. kait 1 TP kedalam TP, selang 1 TP, ulang hingga habis, matikan pada TP pertama.
6. Selitkan benang kedalam setiap TP.matikan benang dan potong, lebihkan benang yang dipotong lebih kurang 3 -4 inci. Benang ini disumbatkan masuk kedalam buah anggur supaya ia terbentuk dan cantik.Kalau anda menggunakan benang jenis tebal , anggur ini tidak perlu disumbat lagi kerana ia agak tebal.

Cantuman
Untuk membentuk segugus anggur, jahitkan 6 anggur di sekeliling satu anggur. jahitkan anggur ke-8 dibahagian bawahnya.

1. Untuk mencantumkan daun , sambungkan benang pada tp ke-6 dari bawah daun, letakkan daun kedua disebelah daun in , kemudian mula cantumkan dengan backloop stitch (cantumkan sisi kedua-dua daun dan selitkan melalui tp kedua-dua daun itu).
2. Buka bahagian tengah kedua-dua daun itu dan letakkan daun ke-3 ditengahnya. Gunak backloop stich lagi untuk mencatum sisi kiri daun ke-3 dengan sisi kanan daun pertama dan sisi kanan daun ke-3 dan sisi kiri daun kedua sebanyak 5 tp lagi. matikan.

Untuk membentuk tangkai anggur,sambungkan benang pada salah satu bahagian mana-mana daun yang terleka ditepi(bukan daun ke-3),kait 32 R,selitkan pada tempat yang sama dengan tempat sambungan benang tadi.Kait 30 tp sepanjang R ini.kait satu R dan terbalikkan,kait tp untuk setiap TP (31 TP).selitkan.

Sambungkan anggur pada bahagian tepi daun tengah.

Selamat Mencuba

This is specially for those who want to present their handmade souvenier for guest on the wedding day.On my own wedding day +- 9 years back, i made close to 300 of this and it was the most popular souvenier everyone look for it.This one is made from the golden yarn , which is more expensive, but you can make it from any yarn. It is quite fast to do and it took me less than 10 mins to finish one of this.You can make it while relaxing yourselves in front of you TV.Instead of putting the egg in it, you can but other things such as sweets or potpouri. Just make sure to wrap the potpouri in the net first as the opening is quite big.

knitted kids top

2007-11-08T19:21:00.000-08:00

This is among the first knitted top i made for my eldest daughter 6 years ago.I made this during one of our trip to my hubby hometown in Kota Kinabalu. What i like most about KK is , it is easy to find good quality knitting yarn (especially for garment) at a fraction of cost.The material used for this top is so comfortable and it was my eldest 'special top' for a few years until she cannot fit in it and it has to be passed to the sister (my second daughter, the one you see in the picture). The top is using the basic knitting sticth, just knit and purl.And it is fast to do.When i knit this , it was after i learn how to knit by myself, using internet as my guide.To make it more lovely and presentable, i add crochet lace on the lower edge and arm.
