My Boy’s Multi Color Tee is Done
Posted on August 11, 2008 - Filed Under Knit, Tee
I completed this project last Saturday, and handed it to the knitting shop for joining up. I don’t join up most of my projects now because I have too many pending projects on hand, and the knitting shop is willing to help me out. The more projects I have, the more yarns I buy, so now you know why they are willing to help? LOL!
This multi color tee in Schachenmayr Nomatta Fiesta is oversized for my boy now, so I might just keep it away until his birthday or Chinese New Year. He has a lot of knit wears now, so he won’t mind me “hiding” one away. 
Frankly, I have lots of fun knitting this tee. It’s more challenging than most of my knitting projects, and I have to glue my eyes on the knitting pattern all the time. I think my concentration improves a lot after completing this tee. LOL!
Crochet Baby Booties
Posted on August 11, 2008 - Filed Under Crochet, Booties
I crocheted a pair of baby booties for my blogger friend on Saturday. It only took me a few hours to complete it, and furthermore, my friend at the knitting shop helped me to “touch up” the booties and hide the loose yarns away. So, it’s one of the fastest projects I did.
I got the crochet diagram from a book and it’s pretty simple to follow the crochet pattern. That’s why I’ve always preferred knitting and crochet books from Japan, they are way much simpler than the English version.
Since I don’t know if she’s expecting a girl or boy, I chose the green cotton yarn by Victoria. I’m not sure if she will like the color, but the booties are completed now. 
Crochet A Hat
Posted on July 17, 2008 - Filed Under Crochet, Hat
I’ve almost forgotten about this knit hat until I looked through my photo collections just now. I crocheted this hat for my mother some time ago and it only took me less than a week to complete it. It’s pretty easy as you can refer to the crochet diagram I posted 2 months ago.
It’s a bit too plain, but that’s what my mother requested. Just add some crochet flowers or ribbons onto your hat if you wish.
My Boy’s Multi Patterns Tee
Posted on June 28, 2008 - Filed Under Knit, Tee
Here’s the progress of the tee I’m working on…
I’ve been pretty busy lately, so I only managed to complete the back of the tee and knitted 10 inches for the front part. I guess I can start knitting the armhole this weekend if I’m not out of yarns. I don’t have enough green yarn for this tee, so I might need to postpone this project until I buy the yarn from the shop in Ipoh later. I don’t think I can get it here in Bangkok.
Maybe I will skip to knitting the sleeves first? That should keep me occupied with this project for a while…
My Girl’s Top in Rich More Topping Sweet Yarn
Posted on June 9, 2008 - Filed Under Knit, Top
That’s my girl, and she’s easily recognized with her sun shiny smile. She’s wearing her new knit top in Rich More Topping Sweet Yarn and a plain white yarn from Plum Brand. She likes it a lot, and she looks cute pairing the top with a pair of pink tights.
Her brother didn’t wear any knit wear that day as his latest knit tee is still under progress…
Let’s see if I can finish by next month…

My Girl’s Cape in Zara Yarn
Posted on June 5, 2008 - Filed Under Crochet, Cape
Since we are staying in Bangkok soon, there’s a possibility of traveling to northern Thailand which is colder by the end of the year. I hope that we can make a trip to Chiang Mai and Nan (a place near Yunnan) this year, so I knitted a cape in Zara wool yarn for my little gal. For every 3 rows of the crochet pattern, I added a row of chain in Lily yarn. I have a lot of leftover yarns, so it’s best to make good use of them.
She doesn’t like it at first and refused to try it on. At that moment, I thought all my effort was wasted. But then, the lady from the knitting shop helped me to crochet these cute characters of Hello Kitty and Melody and they certainly beautify the cape.
Here’s the end result…
I think my girl will look really cute in it, if she’s willing to put it on!
My Flower Crochet Top is Almost Done
Posted on May 30, 2008 - Filed Under Crochet, Top
My flower crochet top looks weird during the “making process”, but after joining up all the individual flowers of 2 sizes, you can almost see the top now.
Sorry, stupid phone camera didn’t capture the color correctly.
The bottom of the top will have a wavy crochet pattern as shown in this diagram:
The crochet pattern for the lower part of the top
And again, sorry about the color.
Anyway, I’ve completed the top yesterday and sent it to the shop for washing and hiding the loose yarns.
95% completed 2 days ago…
So, stay tune for more update next week.
A Multicolor Crochet Top for Me
Posted on May 23, 2008 - Filed Under Crochet, Top
I started this project in April and it’s all done now. Here’s the details of the project, if you are interested to know more:
Yarn: Katia Samoa and Lily Yarn
Corchet needles:
- Bottom part: 4.0mm for first 3 inches, 5.00mm for the next 3 inches and proceed with 6.00mm crochet needles for that A-line effect.
- Top part: 2.oomm until the collar area
So, what do you think about it? I haven’t worn it yet, so let’s see what others think about it.
Project Progress: May 2008
Posted on May 23, 2008 - Filed Under Project Progress
I’ve been so busy lately, most of my knitting projects are not progressing as expected. Nonetheless, I’ve bought lots of yarns again which will be brought to Bangkok to fulfill my knitting hunger. LOL! Here are some of the projects I have in mind…
You can refer to the previous post about this scarf. I left the project in Bangkok, so I can only resume it once we move there in 3 weeks.
2. A Top in Rich More Topping Sweet Yarn for My Gal
Yarn: Topping Sweet by Rich More and Plain White Yarn by Plum Brand
Knitting Needle: 3.00 mm
I’ve knitted 6 inches on the back of the top so far, and I will start the armhole after 2 more inches. I’m not sure if I can finish this in 2 weeks, but I will have to try.
3. A Flower Crochet Top for Me
Yarn: Double Lily Yarn in Fuchia
Crochet Needle: No. 2
Frankly, I was hesitating when I first started this project as there’s a lot of join knitting the flowers individually and joining them all together. Nonetheless, it’s time I try something like this instead of my usual crochet projects. Here’s my progress so far, and you really can’t see the shape of a top yet!
Don’t worry, it’s not going to be like this. LOL! Here’s the crochet pattern I’m working on:
Have a better idea now?
4. Knit Top for Me in Schachenmayr Nomatta Fiesta
Obviously, I haven’t done much for this project, but what I have in mind is knitting this top in Bangkok later. So, I guess I will put it aside until we settle down in our new home.
Yarn: Schachenmayr Nomatta Fiesta
Knitting Needle: 3.00mm
5. A Knit Tee for My Boy
I want to have something colorful for my boy, so I picked this knitting pattern.
Yarn: Schachenmayr Nomatta Fiesta
Knitting Needle: 3.00mm
I’ve only started the garter part of the tee:
And later on, I will start on the knitting pattern. However, I’m not following the colors exactly, but mix and match by myself.
6. A Hat For My Mother
I haven’t started anything on this hat yet, and I’m still wondering if I should start it now and get it done before I fly to Bangkok. I will ask my mom if it’s urgent first, if not, I will take my sweet time in crocheting one for her.
Yarn: Mixing Filatura Di Crosa Pasta and Victoria Cotton Yarn in Black
Crochet Needle: No. 4
Crochet Pattern:
So, I guess I am pretty busy huh?
