Festival Rajutan Indonesia III

Hi there! Thank you for all of you who are still reading my blog even though it is not updated as often as I used to.

Well this time I've got big news for you. The Third Annual Festival Rajutan Indonesia!! It is the place where people from all over Indonesia come to meet fellow knitters and crocheters to share and know each other.

This year, it is held at Museum Bank Mandiri, Jakarta. From 16 - 17 July 2011. Yup, only 2 days. But we met a lot of people!!! There were talkshows, competitions, bazaar, exhibitions, trainings... so exciting!


Here's me at my stand, selling all sorts of craft materials and equipments.


Here's my helper and customers.


Here's me during the talkshow.


And here's the exhibitions!!! A lot of people made a lot of different things and we have the city of Jakarta in crochet and knitting!

Baby Glove Crochet Pattern

Hey people... It's been a long time since I updated this blog. Been very busy with my new shop and all...
Anyway, I just had a new niece last week and I wanted to make her a baby glove, so I looked for a pattern. The one I got turns out to be too big for my yarn and hook so I modified it.
Well, I'm sure it's a very common pattern that you can get anywhere but I'm just gonna write it here anyway, even if only for my own notes.

Start with magic circle
Row 1: ch 3, dc 15 times (total 16), join with sl st
Row 2: ch 3, 2dc in every stitch, join
Row 3: ch 3, *2dc, dc* rep around, join
Row 4 : ch 3, dc around, join (if yours is not big enough, do another increase with *2dc, dc, dc*)
Row 5 - 10 : ch 3, dc around, join
Row 11 : ch 3, *dc decrease, dc* around, join
Row 12 - 13 : ch 1, sc around, join
Row 14 : *sc, sk 2, ch 3* around, join
Row 15 : sl st to first sp, ch 3, dc, ch 2, 2dc, *2dc, ch2, 2dc* in each sp around, join

Finish! Add a ribbon to the space so that you can tie it up, or else it'll fall off too easily.

Photos to follow! Don't have any yet... See ya next time!

Adopt an OrangUtan

So.... After all this time I'm absent from the blogging world, today I'm back especially for this noble cause... As you all know, OrangUtan is from my country Indonesia, and they're on the brink of extiction.
Well now you can help too, by adopting this cute OrangUtan amigurumi. 10% of sales will be donated to BOSF (The Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation)
Please visit my friend zpiderdzigh's blog for all the information.
Thank you!!!

Autumn Shawl

I know I know... It's a weird time to be posting such a theme of color at this time of year.
But I'm sure you'll all agree that it really looks warm, and it makes me happy just looking at it.

It's very simple to make, just chains and sc and just keep increasing at the sides till the size wanted. As for this one, I stopped when I ran out of yarn. Yup, this eye candy only took one ball of yarn. Sweet!



Not sure about what occasions I can wear it at though, I don't go places much.

Neverending Scarf

I know... It's been forever since I last post here in the blog. It's just that with Facebook around, it is easier to share photos over there.

Anyway, for those of you who are so nice to still see my blog after all, here's the scarf that I've been knitting for over a year (or maybe almost two). Simple rib with k1, p1; using two yarn held together, one red and one green. I was thinking of apples when I chose those two colors. Can't really see it well in this photo though...
