Scrap Yarn Projects

No doubt that every knitter and crocheter sure have lots of scrap yarn lying around in the crafts room which sometime can come handy in creating small and quick project.

In my case, when my hubby installed a lamp for my working table, the light is actually too bright for my eyes, but without it I won't be able to continue working on my project late at night when both my hubby and daughter are asleep. So thanks to my scrap yarn stash, I got this idea to crochet my very own lamp shade.

And thanks to my scrap yarn stash too, I am able to crochet my very own Instagram Phone Case too, which currently is so trending. With a little bit of stitch modification, the phone case looks made using tunisian technique and I am glad with it finally looks.

Student Pass, Teacher Happy

Since I opened my offline shop, I decided to share my knowledge of knitting and crochet through a short courses to whom interested to learn.
Though I was hesitated in the beginning due to the uncertainty of how well I am going to be as a teacher, I finally started to take in students.

Surprisingly, the result turns out so great cause I manage to actually teach those with zero knowledge of knitting or crochet, to be able to create something from yarns and needles and I am definitely feel so happy about it.
So I guess that is how a teacher in school actually feels, when they are able to pass some knowledge to their student and the student managed to master it.

Here are some projects done by my student:

Basketweave Scarf by Oza

Not a Round Hat, Pattern by Me, Done by Oza

Another pattern of mine released

In the conjunction of "Kartini's Day" in Indonesia, this 21st April 2012, I have created a knitted bookmark.


The idea came from my cro-knit group; Dinamic Crocknit, that want to wish all Indonesian women to be always inspired to the wonderful lady; Raden Ajeng Kartini, a national heroine who took a big concern about women emancipation during her time.

This bookmark pattern has been released in Ravelry, and it available for FREE.
I hope it will also inspire you as much as it inspire me.

my very 1st Hat Design

I am definitely considered as beginner in pattern writing, so if there is mistake found in my pattern, please feel free to comment.


As I am kinda obsess with Cable, I decided to give a try to do my own hat creation using this technique. And to make it easier for beginner, my hat does not involved any decreased, even I still have to use DPNs to make it. This is why I named the pattern as "Not A Round Hat" and the design is purely created by myself and if there's any similarity found in any other pattern, it will be just a coincidence.


I love how it the hat turn out to be and hope those who try my pattern like this too. This pattern available for free at Ravelry, but you must have an account there to be able to download it.
