Cody's package

Baby Cody is here and your auntie hasn't prepare your package yet dear.... T__T
So, with hurry, I tried to finish it - the package consists of a baby hat and cocoon; using sky blue cotton yarn and white softy cotton.

First I made the hat, because I thought I've had some experiences to crochet it. So, it must be easy to crochet it.But I was wrong !!! I tried to make using sc stiches but the result wasn't good and too small even for a new baby born !!!
If I used dc stiches, it was too wide between the stiches.
About 2 till 3 days I tried to re-crochet again again and again !!!
Geezzz, what a mess and I ran out of the time >.<"o

Two weeks after that, I made a baby cocoon. Once again, I confused about the technique I used: knitting or crocheting ??
If I used knitting, I only knew knit and purl stiches.

In the beginning, I decided to use knitting technique then I changed it - once again the reason was I ran out of the time - and ooppsss, the yarn already gone !!! Huhuhuhu.... what should I do??? T__T
With a heavy heart, I finished the cocoon (I hadn't blue yarn stock either); attached a bright red crocheted car in the middle of cocoon to make it cuter.

Next day, I gave it to my friend and prayed that it fits to her/his son. But my pray isn't granted T___T (shamed of me !!!).
Huuuaaaaaaaa.... hikssss....

Flower Vest

Finally I have my new vest to be matched with my white blouse !!!

I made this vest during my Ied Mubarak Holiday. For almost 3 days, I tried finishing it.

The pattern I got from a crochet magazine, authored and published by an Indonesian. I'm so gratefull that Indonesia can produce this kind of magazine and hopefully in the future, Indonesia can produce it more.


Because of my lack of yarns, I changed the color.
For example based on magazine, flower pattern is using white yarn; but I changed it using grey yarn.
In above, I'm using light pink, grey blue, light red and grey.
I think those colors can match each other.

What do you think ???

The lesson I got from this project that I should practice how to hide different color of yarn-joint and know further about its technique !!!

But overall, I feel satisfy with the result !!! \^0^/
