Wii Cover

This is another console that I need to cover to avoid colleting dust. I had a few stashed yarn and I quickly knitted this cover. The cover has pattern on it, but, it’s not very clearly shown because of the type of yarn I used. It still works as a cover so I left it alone. ☺

Autumn Cap

Again, this is one of my several attempts to use up my stashed yarns. I had Sean Sheep Flinders yarns in dark purple colour and I found a pattern to knit a cap. It didn’t turned out to be the right size. But it’s still usable.

Hooded Jacket in Cables with Alpaca

I knitted this jacket for my cousin. She was looking around for a warm enough jackets. So I thought I knitted one for her birthday.

Alpaca yarn from Garnstudio is so amazing, I love the colour, the texture, and how easy it is to hold while knitting.

The pattern is again free on Garnstudio.

Sideways Top from Garnstudio Design

This top is one of the most interesting patterns I’ve ever worked on. The clever design is free for anyone to use on Garnstudio website.
I used Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran yarns (yellow colour) but I would recommend to use the recommended yarn from Garnstudio. The end result when using Cashmerino Aran is a bit heavy, although it’s very warm.
The top was done in two directions, horizontal and vertical; horizontal for the top part (with the cables). And once the sides are joined, the vertical work began in circular (the ribs part at the bottom).

Playstation Cover

I knitted a quick cover for my brother’s Playstation 2 console in 2008. This project is a quick win, completed in 2 days only. And I also managed to used my stashed yarn. The pattern is 3-3 rib and I really love the colour and the texture of the 2 yarns I used. Unfortunately I don’t remember the brand of the yarns that I used.

Little Robin Redbreast

This is my first every Christmas project back in 2007. I remember this is when I bought Jean Greenhowe’s Christmas Treasure book. I wanted to knit everything in the book but I thought I gave this one a try first.
This is actually quite easy as I completed this in 6 days.

Long time no blog

Hello everyone… I’ve gotten so busy since late last year and totally abandoned my blog. There are so many changes recently in my life that I have to put blogging on hold. Apologies if some of you are waiting for any craft project news or new ideas for your own. I promised I will try my best to keep this blog updated from now on. J

We recently moved to a new place. I’m joining the home owner wagon now. I’ve been busy decorating and furniture hunting. Luckily the unit doesn’t need renovating (Thank God for that…) so we just moved straight in.

The new place has an east facing balcony, so I’m really happy with it. It’s very suitable for my plants. I have a yellow rose plant, Friesia, that almost died due to lack of sun light at the old place. I thought to ditch the plant when I moved, but after second thought, I decided to take it along with me. That turned out to be a good decision as the plant survived and produced 4 huge flowers in the last 2 months.

I also bought 4 new rose plants to add to my roses collection, Paul Cezanne (combination of white yellow and pink), A Country Woman (red), Pope John Paul II (white – Australian Rose of the year 2011 – the most fragrant white rose ever!), and Ebb Tide (deep purple). They arrived around a month ago and they’re growing quite well (considering it’s winter at the moment). Some of them already full of leaves and I’m hoping to see rose buds in the next month or two.

I also managed to plant a tomato plant on the balcony, which already gave me two little yellow pear tomatoes in the last month. Tomato plant isn’t supposed to bear fruit in the winter, but recent weather has been a bit weird, so, I think the plant confused the weather and thought it’s already spring.

The inside of the unit is also quite sunny so I bought a few succulents to decorate the place. They’re very slow growers. I can’t wait to see them get bigger.

I’ve also been busy with my craft projects, mainly because I have so many yarns in my stash and I’m trying to bring the number down by working on my outstanding projects. So, I’ll be posting more projects hopefully in the next week or two. J

I also noticed that I haven’t posted my earlier craft works, so I’ll try to do that first, before posting the more recent ones.
