My Square


I love knit & crochet, but I am a little bit confuse when I have to match colours. It happened when I wanted to make squares. I couldn't make decision what colour match with others. But my friend encouraged me to use my favorite ones, and I did what she said. So, this was the results...
I hope I can make better next time.

(My Daughter) Learn to Knit



My daughter always watch me when I am doing knitting and crochet. Sometimes she asked me to teach her how to knit, but I thought it was too early for 6 years old girl to learn knitting.

I taught her yubiyami (finger knitting) that I learned from youtube, and she could master it quickly. But she didn't want to stop there, she wanted more..

One day, when I was watching a video about knitting on youtube, I watched on that video a 6 year old girl knitting something. I realised I was wrong for not allowing my girl to learn to knit.

I went to a yarn shop to buy some yarns, I also bought a set of bamboo knitting needle for my girl. Then I taught her the basic of knitting, how to make cast on, knit and purl. I didn't think she can master it quickly. Only in one day, she can knit a small handkerchief.

The result was not too perfect, but with little practice, I know she will master it well in a short time.

Neck Warmer


At first, I wanted to make a shawl for my self or my husband. I picked some thick yarn and started to knit it, with some pattern I've chosen.
In the middle of knitting process, I realised that the shawl was too wide and the yarn was too bulky. It would be too thick for a shawl. So I decided to make a neck warmer instead. I knitted two button holes and sewn two buttons in the place, then the neck warmer ready to be worn...

Shawl for Kasih


As a second knitting product I made in my 'learning how to knit' journey, I made this shawl. I got the pattern from a book, and modified it so it fit for my need.
In a lack of knowledge about knitting, I made this shawl and decided to finish it whatever the result.
After finishing with putting some tassels in each end of the shawl, I gave this shawl for my daughter. She loved it, and I was very glad I've made it.
