scarf cap ibu dan anak

i knitted these for a friend and her wonderful daughter. they both make the perfect mother-daughter combo. best friends, they are inseparable. so, when i got the yarn, i immediately thought of them and started on this project.

for my friend, the mom, i chose this pattern called the falling water lace by bonnie sennott. i purposely did not block the scarf because i wanted the cable-like wavy thinggie to stand out aaaand..i kind like the part when the scarf curls up and it goes all tube-like...okay, maybe that's just me...but, if my friend wants...MAYBE she can block the scarf nanti-nanti. hehehe.... :-)

 

 

as for her cute little daughter, i used one of my favorite stitches theraspberry stitch. i got the tutorial from every one's favorite online anything-and-everything guru, Encik YouTube. terima kasih cikgu!!

 

 

well, everything's wrapped and packaged nicely just waiting to go on their journey. i hope they will both enjoy the scarves...and if ada senget2 somewhere and or anywhere...please forgive me horrr....i only beginner, but i will improve.

 

tata readers *ada readers kewwww???*

 

see you guys again soon-ish! :-)

 

thank you bonnie sennott for the beautiful lace pattern. i had fun knitting the scarf! :-)

thank you iknitwithcatfur for the very clear tutorial on raspberry stitch!



ada apa dengan pink stacks?

 

 

i met a friend today. we had tea for brunch at this quaint little cafe called Whisk at Empire Subang. this is not my first time here. everytime i come here there seems to be this one particular cake called the whisk pink stacks, and it's ALWAYS sold out. there's a sign outside the cafe that says it's their bestselling cake. *please correct me if i didn't get the sign right*

 

aneehoo, imagine my excitement when i saw the cake. so, naturally i went for the cake...

only

to

find

that

it's

actually

stacks

of

cakes

colored

in

shades

of

pink

that

has

been

soaked

in

sirap.

 

yup! you read right. it tastes like sirap. period. i was, and still am a bit disappointed. i had high hopes for the 'best selling' cake. seriously. i did. and i think charging RM14.90 for this was a bit too steep. *double whammy*

 

my friend had the carrot pecan cake. it was sweet, too sweet for us.

 

 

 

like i said, it wasn't my first time here. i had the hummingbird cake, and THAT was super nice. i might go there again just for that.

 

i ended up not being able to finish the cake. and there was a couple who sat next to our table who also had the same cake, who did not (berapa banyak 'who' yang aku nak letak ni???) finish the cake as well. i even saw the lady pointing to the sign outside the shop. the sign about the bestselling whatever thingamajig.

 

 

would i go there again? yes. for the hummingbird cake. and i would also like to give their pecan pie a try. pecan pie a try. pecan pie a try. well, whaddaya know i'm rhyming! pecan pie a try. pecan pie a try. okay, okay....i'll stop.

 

oh and by the way, i was charged by mr.cashier guy 3 drinks instead of 2. i only noticed once i got back home.

 

mr. cashier guy, is there a chance that i could get my money back? :-p

 

oh well...

 

wordless wednesdays: of cookies, jasmine tea and friends, of course!
