#7: 98 of 400 crocheted blanket

#7: 98 of 400 crocheted blanket

I forgot to get the green yarn in KL last week. Almost 100 squares! i'm 1/4 done with the project. and i'm happy with the progress.

Next weekly progress will be thursday, I'll be away friday and the whole of next week. super excited for the little walkaway!

have a good week!

#6: 86 of 378 crocheted blanket

#6: 86 0f 378 crocheted blanket

i must have deleted my progress picture #5 in my phone, i couldnt find it. so, here's my progress picture for #6. and after some consideration and more measuring, i've decided, larger is better, so, i'm making this blanket a 400 granny squares blanket. 

the new measurement would fit a queen size bed, hopefully. 20 X 20 granny sq. and I'm confident to finish this project by end of June. by the end of this semester, and I'm already exited about my new cross stitch project!

i will be away again for the rest of the week. I'll post week #7 progress by Monday. I'm out of moss green yarns.

#5: 66 of 378 crocheted blanket

yes! i managed to joint 14 more squares last weekend to the large blanket project. i forgot to take picture of the current blanket (i'll furnish picture later this afternoon)

I bought another 5 yarns for the project, making it 20 yarns bought so far (RM27 +RM10 = RM37)

i will put the cost estimation for materials (including all yarns taken from my yarns box) after i completed the project. I'm hoping (and working hard) to finish this project by this semester (end of june) so i can start on a cross stitch project. huhu!

I visited the Zoo Negara in Hulu Kelang last friday. i'll link it up here after i finish writing it on another blog.

#3: 39 0f 378 crocheted blanket

so, this is the progress up until last week. as i mentioned in the previous post, i was away the whole of last week. i did buy some yarns in KL, but my tight budget make me purchase only 3 colours (5 small bundles each). i'll post that yarns purchase in my next post, which will be this coming friday. yes, i know, its week #4 already!

the colours of my blanket gets merrier, and i like it. ;)

339 more to go!

#2: 28 of 378 crocheted blanket

Here's my progress for week #2 into crocheted blanket. attached 28, i have some more squares in the yarns box, but have no time to attach it, so, i'll bring those forward for next week's progress.

#2: 28 0f 378 crocheted blanket

I'll be away for a job-related-workshop in KL next week. yarns shopping (buying more crazy colours:orange, green, gray, blue and yellow) but less time to crochet.

About 350 more to go before 31 dec 2014. Next week update will be done monday, 27 jan 2014. ;)

have a good weekend!

kangkung inspired mug coaster

because the kangkung jokes were raging and because its public holiday (14/01/2014-Maulidur Rasul), and also because i finally found my 3.5 crochet hook (after cleaning up my bedroom!). i knew its somewhere in the room.. hmmph..

so i decided to crocheted a coaster for my 'poppy' mug.

i got 'poppy' for RM1 at a jumble sale in Satok a couple years ago. i bought a purple ceramic coaster for it (also RM1). but, look how cute the new crocheted coaster with poppy!

many years from now, i know, i will remember the kangkung jokes whenever i look at this coaster.

i also patched my travelling bag 'ellie' with a vietnam flag badge (got it from my HCMC visit back in 2011)

i bought the bag from my first solo travel to Cambodia in 2012. so, yeah, ellie is special to me. and i'm hoping she will endure more years of travel with me. i will patch her up with more flags of places i visited (promise ;)

crocheted a few more granny squares for my big blanket project. will picture update on that, this friday. and the magic number of squares i'm aiming is : 378 

crocheted pot holder

its been a quiet weekend for me. i watched a few movies on laptop and crocheted a few granny squares for my big blanket project. finally, i had the time to arrange my yarn's box and get rid of the yarns remnants and threads.

the yarns remnants were quite plenty and i decided to crochet it to a 'crazy colours' pot holder (its in my kitchen, holding tea pot)

crocheted pot holder : 12/01/2014

will update on the progress of big blanket this friday.
Have a good week, people!

#1: the first 13 of 365 or so

I made a new resolution this year to at least finish one sewing project. My half-done projects are piling up. So, i hope ONE project will be done this year. 

I'm doing a 'more than 365' granny squares, colourful crochet blanket.

I'll post every 10 days (or so) on the progress.

so, here's #1: 13 sqs

10/1/2014: the first 13 of 365 or so squares

 cheers for another resolution to keep and Happy New Year
