Ketupat – The monster that looks like a rice cake
A friend of mine (and ex-boss) is having a baby so I decided that I’ll make something for Junior. This pattern is Penelope the Empathetic Monster by Danger Crafts. Made with Moda Vera Pure Wool 8ply.
北京欢迎我 (Beijing Welcomes Me)!
I’ve been known to be impulsive. This is one such occasion. Returned from a dive trip a couple of weeks ago and decided, “… I need a real holiday.” Coincidently, Jetstar was having a 48hr sale and almost immediately bought tickets for Taipei next April with my dear friends Anne & Grace (was S$400ish return [...]
MoLo
Meet MoLo. He’s a timid creature that spills his guts whenever he meets someone he likes. And unlike other plushes, he has regular bowel movements because his anatomy allows this. This was challenging because I had no plan or pattern to make this. This is made for another dear friend, MH and he once said [...]
Chin Chow Mummy and Baby Monsters
Seldom do I get requests for commissions. Probably because everyone knows how busy I am. This was commissioned by a very dear friend for her expecting sister. It’s the same pattern and design as the previous ones I created for Gözde and Soleil. This pattern is Daphne and Delilah Monsters by Dangercrafts. Made with Sublime [...]
Gözde and Soleil the Mummy and Baby Monsters
The booties I made for a friend’s baby a year ago didn’t quite make it to her. I’m going to be finally meeting her later this week for lunch so I’ve made these adorable monsters for her and her baby instead.
Bootees
Oh! Did I mention also I made my first pair of tiny tiny booties?! It’s so incredibly cute and adorable. They’re for my friend’s newborn baby boy. I thought he was due next month and was goint to sew her a diaper bag but got the dates wrong so I decided to knit up a [...]
Dad’s Birthday Scarf
Looking familiar? Remember Angie’s iPod cosie? Laurie Perry’s Magic Scarf. This is a present for my Dad’s birthday tomorrow he will be 63. This is really unpractical of gift for him. We’re living in Singapore and I knitted him a woolen scarf. But I think he might like it when he decides to travel to [...]
Lavender for Pynk
This lavender knitted Isabeau Bag is for Pynk! This is significantly larger than the little purse I did 2 months ago so I am a little surprised I managed to complete it in 2 weeks.The reason for the rush to complete this is because this is also meant to be a belated birthday present for [...]
The uexpected prize and the unexpected iPod cosie
I won something for my first ever knitting project. Most unbelievable and really unexpected. I submitted some pictures of my Isabeau Purse to Sylvie of Chez Plum to show her my appreciation for sharing her darling pattern without realising that there was a contest. So it was really surprising to receive an email from her [...]
Knitting and streaming TV
Pin’s scarf is complete! This is a really soft and comfy scarf and I hope it’ll keep Pin warm and happy on her trip to very cold winter Berlin next week. This took me a little over 2 weeks to complete, usually have less time during the week to knit so majority of the knitting [...]
Work-In-Progresses
I am knitting and crocheting and trying to stretch my attention span at the same time. It’s not easy. I first started a project to make a great looking bag made of crocheted motifs. It’s pattern I got from a Japanese crochet pattern book and the yarn I am using is Nikkelon S Egypt Super. [...]
New Year New Experiments
Happy New Year to everyone!! It’s a new year and there are new experiments to be made!! I haven’t been blogging for some time now and as much as I love to bake I think I need something new to experiment with. Given my short attention span and impulsive charm I think I might have [...]
