Another Birthday!!!

Remember I said I couldn't wait to get back to knitting?

Well, my eldest sister's birthday was two days ago, and for her gift, I decided to make a sweet scarf. Knowing one of her favorite colors was purple, I went out and got a couple of balls of soft, purple yarn and started on her birthday project.

The scarf is really simple, with a simple knit pattern. The scarf is very long - long enough to wrap around the neck once and having both ends reach the waist (two balls of yarn were used).



The stitch pattern I used was the Double Seed Stitch:

Double Seed Stitch
Multiple of 4

Row 1 and 2: *K2, P2; rep from *
Row 3 and 4: *P2, K2; rep from *

For the finishing touch, I folded a scrapbook cardstock sheet and plain poster board (cut to the size of the scrapbook sheet) into a box, added purple tissue paper, and crocheted a flower for ornamenting. Pink ribbon was used to tie the scarf as well as sheer blue ribbon to wrap the box. A Happy Homemades by Jocy Xiong tag was also added.

I hope she liked it.

Somewhere over the Rainbow....

I sewed a Rainbow-cloud bag and have decided to share it here today. The strap is made of a durable rainbow ribbon, attched to the cloud pouch with silver buckles. The cloud is soft (just like how a cloud should be!), made of a fleece material. The inside of the cloud is lined with a polyester fabric. The bag is closed with a white zipper, which has a cute foam cloud pull. I bought and clipped pins onto the front of the bag for additional cuteness (I luckliy found them at a local thrift store). Harharhar. I love this bag, although I use it rarely. It is one of the cutest - and most useful - things I have ever made!!!

Watch out, Red!!!

Little Red Ridding Hood went out one day into the woods to visit her grandmother.
Little did Little Red know that she would be in danger.... A big bad wolf had seen her skipping happily along, and decided that she would be a tasty treat! So the Big Bad Wolf hurried to the grandmother's house and cleverly disguised himself as the sweet old woman.

When Little Red reached her grandmother's house, she was in for a surprise!!!

Grandmother looked very strange to Little Red.
"My, what big teeth you have!"

"Oh, the better to eat you with my dear!!!"


But wait!!! In my story, Little Red uses the magical mushroom she picked on her walk to banish the evil Big Bad Wolf forever!!!!


Hahaha! I didn't mean to change the story, but I didn't take enough pictures to finish the real version. Little Red and the Big Bad Wolf are made of various yarns, have safety eyes, and are stuffed with a polyester/silk blend fiber. All amigurumi designs by me.

I'm Back!!!

With not with much of an update.

But I will soon be uploading pictures of a rainbow bag that I made...along with some images of cute amigurumis.

I haven't been knitting or crocheting in a long while. I miss it so much! It's been a few busy months with my brother and his family coming over to visit and us girls going over to Vegas to visit them in return. I'm glad that the weather is beginning to change - I can finally start making winter accessories with my now dusty yarns!!! HAHA.

Please look forward to my next post, as I will make it very soon (all I need to do is take the photos).
