Dari awal merajut saya sudah sering dengar tentang blocking untuk finishing dari hasil rajutan. Blocking ini ada berbagai teknik, tapi teknik apapun itu saya malas melakukannya. Ada berbagai alasan saya untuk tidak melakukannya, tapi alasan utamanya terlalu malas hehe.
I started this on December 2009, but since I have a new baking hobby (it always good to learn a new skill), I just finished it on this new year 2010.
Today I learned to sew dutchman’s puzzle quilt. I took some pictures while making it.
This is the example that was provided by the teacher. I have to make 8 big triangles and 16 small triangles and assembled it into one big square.
This is how my result compared to the example. My result is still far from perfect. I need more practice on quilting.
I shared the pictures and tried to make a simple tutorial here.
The problem with having more than 1 blog and a few social networking to maintain is, sometimes you forgot what you published or not published yet.
Well some of you might still remember I post about this socks in my previous post.
I manage to made a granny jacket with the same color. This baby jacket and baby sock arrived safely in my hometown Medan. Yes I made those for my new nephew. Actually this is not the first time for me to make a baby granny jacket. I modified from my memory making the first one. This time I just modified the collar part.
I use smaller type of yarn for this second time, and I have to add more rows to make the size ok. Actually I’m just guessing the size. My nephew was born premature, I’m sure this jacket will be too big for him and will fit on him until he is 1 year old.
Ada bermacam-macam jenis zipper, dan ada bermacam-macam pula cara menjahitnya tergantung untuk apa. Beberapa waktu lalu saya belajar menjahit ritsleuting jenis biasa dan contohnya untuk dijahit di rok atau untuk cushion cover.
Berikut ini langkah-langkahnya.
1. lipat bagian kanan dan kiri kain dengan bagian luar saling berhimpit. Beri tanda pada kain mulai dari ujung atas sampe ujung bawah ritsleuting
Do you still remember this work in progress that feels like forever will be WIP? I remember I started to cast on around 2 years ago while I just started learn knitting. After a few drop stitches I gave up. I wanted to rip it off once, I felt the yarn colors are a little bit weird. But my laziness won, too lazy to rip it off. I changed my mind and just continue to knit it once a while and this is how it looks on June 2009.
Finally I did it. After almost 2 years, I cast it off and call it finished project. The shawl is not too wide but long enough. I am thinking to use it as a shrug-shawl.
I’m glad I didn’t rip it off years ago 
Btw you can find the pattern from here: http://www.gosyo.co.jp/img/acrobat/24ss/30.pdf
About few months ago I went to spotlight Singapore on my way back to Chiang Mai. I saw this loom knitting set but I still hesitated to buy it. I don’t think I really want this tools. The price is quite cheaper compared to the price on Amazon.
I cannot stop making more amigurumi. I made more koalas and penguins from cuddly crochet creatures patterns.
I once wonder why people like to make this amigurumi things? I ignored all the beauty of amigurumi, but now…I don’t know how to stop and I even don’t want to crochet other project than amigurumi.
The good thing about making amigurumi is: I don’t make pile of work-in-progress. I can finish the project in no time and I don’t get the chance to be bored.
Maybe I should consider to also sew some dolls? I bet my cousin will tease me if I sew more dolls than she is ^_^
