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!

i'm baaaaaackkkkk!!! miss me? no? never mind. I MISS ME!!

 

look at the date. it's such a beautiful date, and just the kind of date one would use to make a come back *bajet retis...siap nak buat come back tuuuu* and that even this late at night (late kah?) i cannot not blog or at least write something here. anything.

 

i haven't been blogging for the longest time. life took over. and i was travelling here and there and here and there. i was in LALA twice with only about a few weeks' of interval in between, to visit the wife, among other things. sampai pompuan tu dah muak ler gamaknya jumpa aku.

 

 

 

apart from that i have also been knitting. i made a scarf for my cousin who was recently bitten by the travel bug. i don't usually knit two scarves with the same pattern, but i decided to knit one for the wife. the pattern is quite easy and i think it suits them. it's called the Cotton Twirl Faggot Stitch Scarf. if you are interested, you can get the pattern from here.

 

 

i made the grey one for my cousin.

 

 

and this colorful one, for the wife.

 

 

 

i hope both of them will like their scarves.

 

what else? what else?? ahhh! i made brownies!!! cappuccino brownies. why isn't the recipe here? well, i was soooo happy to be baking again after such a long time, that out of excitement, i might have over did it with the batter and the batch turned into cake! and i was sooo upset that it gave me migraine. hahahaha!! i kid you not! but, i will attempt the recipe again and will let you know.

 

what else? what else? ohhh! i lost about 500+ of photos that i kept in this micro SD card thingamajig, one day it was there, and the next, the card went amnesiac and couldn't remember what happened to all the photos. alllll those shots....gone. just like that. one tip, when in akihabara, don't buy micro SD cards.

 

well, i guess this is it then. i can't believe that it's already december and in a few weeks' time, we'll be greeting a brand new year. wow...

 

have a nice night and i'll be seeing you soon.

 

photo of cousin, robbed from his facebook account. thank you your majesty.

knitting pattern taken from www.straw.com  thank you!!

 

i thought i

taw a puddy tat.. i did! i did!!! remember that line? okay if you guys remember that line then you and i are from the same *ehem* era...BUT! if you don't know what i'm talking about, then...errr...then, there's always mr.google. hoccay?

i received a special request to make these with white chocolate. so being one always up to any kind of challenge (we are still talking about me, right? miahahaha) i accepted the challenge. *macamler susah sangat senah oiiii....tukar jelah cengklatnya* but instead of spongebob, she wanted tweety bird edible image to be on top of the chocolate. little did i know that the challenge would be to look for these edible images of the (once) famous tweety bird. dah pupus dah. i went to five bake shops but none had them, luckily there are people online that can print them on edible sheets. hah!

so, dearest orel, i hope that special someone love these and that you guys will have a blast celebrating her birthday. :-) eh, you want me to sing ah? :-p
