Finished project of the week!

Here comes another weekend and it is the third week of November 2012 already.
I managed to finish 3 project this week. Not quite big achievement if I said, since I didn't spend my time fully on finishing them too. But at least the list of WIPs is finally slowly cleared up and it is time to work on something new.

I did this same pattern of hat last week but with different colour.
This was made by order received online too. Comparing it to the green one, this one has a more slouchy finishing since I used bigger hook to crochet.

This stokinette circular scarf was knitted with my very own pattern, with a garter stitch ribbing on its side.
Started it of with a provisional cast on, which meant to hide its seaming.

Since I knitted it quite long, approximately 190cm, it can be worn in three style as shown in picture. This is too made for order received online

Just finished this square today, which takes only about an hour to crochet. A new pattern released by Thata Pang, this square is just so lovely and simple to make.
Planning to make more soon and turn it out become a big project.

Friday WIPs

Here some of my WIPs that I am planning to finished up soon. Considered to be a nit greedy to work on spfew big project on the same thing I think..hahaha..but it is all part of kicking out the boredom if having to work on one project.

Digged this project out from my WIPs bag, a wearable started way long ago, from 2004. Never get to finish it since it started, due to lack of knowledge in knitting wearable without any guidance.

This was the second project after my very first lesson from the local yarn shop where I learn to knit.

So since currently I think that myself been capable enough to knit on my own, I decide to finish this project up soon.

Second WIPs for the week is this circular scarf made by order received online. The request is this scarf to be long and wide enough to be wrapped around the neck.

It has reached 100cm length now, with a simple my very owned design of stokinette with garter band on each side. Plan to finish it off with 180cm length.

Here is my another project that I am soon to start. Was checking the gauge with the soft cotton from my shop.

This project taken from Free Pattern Tester Group called 'Hear Apart Girl's Sweater' design by MariChiba.

The submission dateline is this end of the month but I just want to finish this up as soon as possible so I can clear up my another WIPs.

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 Motif

Only until I edited the picture, I realised that I have made the Basketweave motif using both Knit & Crochet technique.
And it was all started with just a blink of inspiration, trying to play with some stitches to create motifs that I have never done before.
So turn out this motif can actually be done using both CROCHET & KNITTING.
