Striated Purple Bag

My colleague had given me some balls of yarn from Thailand when she came back to Jakarta couple weeks ago. I'm so happy to get these ball of yarns. What a beautiful yarn she given to me !!!
Thanks a lot mba :)

I showed these yarns to my mom and suddenly she asked me to make her a simple square bag to be used when she goes to the church. Then, she chose striated purple yarn (nice choice mom ^.^d).
Using clover hook #6, I started to crochet it.
In the beginning, the bag size was too big (length approximately 35 cms).
My mom little bit complaint about the size. Soo, I tried to re-crochet again and made it smaller 5cms.

I love this kind of yarn. It is soo thick but soft enough when we touch it. I think it is very suitable to make a bag. You do not need to use additional fabric inside the bag because the density between stiches are soo tight. Therefore, you don't have to worry about your things you bring.

I used a pair of wooden handler (as my mom requested), wooden button (mom didn't want to use zipper for her bag), and attached a dark purple (using softy cotton yarn) flower in button hole to make it more feminine.

And here is the result !!!!

Hope you like it mom, I made it for you with all my love !!! ^_^
Muacchh....

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^/

Blue Wings Baby Hat

It's such an honour for me if my friends are wearing my crochet handmade and I'm so proud if they show or want to share it through some pictures to me.

Like one of my friend did for me to her daughter - well, actually I asked her to take it, ahahahha....

She requested me to make a baby hat to her (approximately) 5 months daughter where the hat has a couple wings in its back.

She requested any colors except pink and red because she already had those. So I chose sky blue color softy cotton, mixed with white - also softy cotton - for its line and wings.

Finished the hat just a day and the result not as same as requested. Supposed to be its shape is oval, but I made it round so that it looks like a pilgrim hat.... hihihihi - sorry friend, don't mean too :p

My friend told me that the hat is too big for her daughter.
Well, I hope the hat can be worn to her daughter for a very long time ^.^v

You are so beautiful wearing that hat, Averina :)

Jilbab Girl

Suddenly I got a sms from someone, asked me to make an ami girl wearing jilbab version. Then my phone rang, I realized that the person is my colleague. Hah... you made me surprise dear :)

In short conversation, she wanted me to made 4 jilbab girl amis and hopefully I could finish it just for 3-4 days. Well, let we start it !!! I accept your challenge, ahahahaha....

The difficultie when I was crocheting this ami is I don't know how to wear jilbab (I'm not a moslem). So I asked to my friend who is wearing jilbab, was it wrong or not. I wanted to make it as perfect I can.

Over my prediction that I could not crochet these amis after working hour, hikksss...

Sorry my friend if I cannot fulfill my promise to you.

So many works to do that made me to take some overtime in the office and I couldn't continue these at home.
But I already finished 2 amis for you with different version (read: color), hihihihi... v^.^v

Hope you like it friend....
