At last, I ve Crocheted Something 4 My Self.... Crocheted Tray Mat & Doily...

This is my post regarding my tray mat n my doily... not bout crochet accessory yet... Haha... Later, I ll post bout dat n also bout my trip to Ipow last week... ok Uny Azmi? hahaha...

As I am a jobless person rite now, so I crocheted a tray mat which have a grape motif on it... Why grape??? It is because in Malay Language :

jobless = penganggur

anggur = grape

Thus, 

jobless = grape...

My Grape Motif Tray Mat....

Then, u know, rite? hahaha... this grape tray mat only took me 3 days to complete it.... Fillet is the most easy technique in crocheting... even the beginners can do it... the pattern? i took it from my aunt's old japanese crochet book...

After I finished my "grape tray mat", I started to crochet a new workpiece which was a doily in yellow colour... why yellow? bcoz it is da remaining yarn that my sister bought me 6 years ago... I dont know what to do with dat kind of striking colour... but when i saw the wooden round table, i think the striking yellow will suit it... 

The last time I crocheted doilies was 5 years ago... I crocheted a pink doily 4 my close fren a.k.a my "bonda", Mus'ab. Actually, I dun like to crochet doilies... These are the reason why :

1. Required more time to finish them compared to bags, fillet, keychain, brooch, etc..(I spent a week to complete this workpiece)
2. I need to carry the crochet pattern wherever I go bcoz I need to refer to the pattern every time i want to start a new 'row'.
3. I cant create my own pattern bcoz doilies are too complicated 4 de intermediate crocheter like me...
4. Hard to find the pattern... 

This time, I used the same my aunt's old Japanese crochet pattern book... It was all written in Japanese... Fortunately, I can understand the picture pattern... (I prefer picture pattern compared to written pattern)  

My Yellow Doily...

Ok... till here only... In the next entry, I ll post about crocheting accessories... hmm... interesting, easy and fast... C yeah!!!
