Kerana Saya Sayang Mereka... Crocheted Heart Shaped Keychain and Broadband Case...

Salam, readers... 

hmmm... ok, i dont want to talk about kanak2 brilliant 4 the time being... i hv too many ideas to write but i will write bout them later... this time i will write about my crochet workpieces that I gave to my two Brilliant frens...

heart shaped keychain ni actually adalah handbag charm yg aku buat sehari sebelum aku ke Terengganu...  aku mmg dh byk kali bt heart shaped keychain nih... tp semuanya akhirnya menjadi hak milik orang lain sbb sume berkenan n mintak... hahaha...

N bila Nana nampak mende alah tu kat handbag aku, dia pun nak jugak... Memandangkan aku x sempat nk buat semula utk dia (aku bz giler kot kat sna smp tito 3, 4 jam je sehari... kdg2 2 jam je...), aku pun kasi jelah yg tergantung kat handbag aku tuh... sorry ye Nana, ko dpt yg 2nd hand je... rasa bersalah sebenarnya, tapi nk bt camne kn? Farhah pun nk jugak, tp dia aku ble bg bila2 dia balik kampung kn? rumah dkt je... Nana ni, x taula bila ble jmp lagik kn? 

saat keychain tu masih di handbagku...

ni pulak cerite berukband case yg aku bt utk diri sendiri jugak... 1st time aku bt broadband case... pattern pun main agak2 je... sbb utk aku, mestilah aku pilih kale pink... n turqoise tu aku pilih sbb sj nk nampak sweet baby color... kn kn? n actually, bunge tu pun belum dicantumkan lagik... tp atas dasar nk amik gbr, aku letak chumil2 je atas tu... 

tp bila kat tengganu, and bila kanak2 brilliant terlihat peralatan mengait aku, ntah mcm mn, dorg terjumpa mende nih... actually, aku bw ke tengganu sbb aku nk cantum bunge n ble la letak berukband aku dlm tu... mula la masing2 buat muke kagum dgn hasil tangan aku tu... hahaha... then ade sorg budak laki (po-g kot kalau x silap) tnya, "letak enpon muat x?" Aku jawab, "hish, mana muat... ni utk berukband or pendrive je la..."

tetiba Mr. CEO kuarkan MP3 dia n letak dlm tu... n memey la muat sbb saiz MP3 lebey krg je dgn berukband or pendrive... hmm... aku pun dgn baik hatinya bg jelah berukband caseku itu kat dia... mula2 tu aku agak ragu2 nk bagi sbb kale pink kot!!! lelaki & pink??? mcm ade yg x kena je... hahahaha... tp nasib baik jugakla aku lom cantum bunge tu, kalau x... hahahaha... memey jd mat bunge la CEO Brilliant tuh... hahaha... so, tanpa bunge, berukband caseku kini sudah menjadi hak milik Mr. CEO...

my sweet berukband case...

ingin aku tegaskan kat cni, aku bukan nk mengungkit ok??? sekelumit pun xde rs nk mengungkit... aku memberinya dgn ikhlas, tulus dari hati... tnyalah mana2 crafters, kitorg sgt hepi bila tgk hasil kerja kitorg tu diterima baik oleh org lain... kegembiraan si penerima (xkisahla family ke, kawan ke, even customer yg x knl pun) adalah keutamaan... hepi sgt bila tgk org lain gembira dgn hasil kerja tangan sendiri...

dan aku memberi pd kawan2 kerana aku syg kawan2 aku... atas dasar kasih syg jugakle, aku jrg dpt simpan hasil kerja senirik sbb hampir sumanya akan jd milik kawan2 sbb dorg berkenan n mintak... aku lak mmg jenis baik hati, bg jelah.... ahhahaha.... xpe, sbb sy sayang mereka...

cuma, 1 je aku mintak pd suma org (ASMARIANS, UTPIANS, GEMMIES) yg pnah kuberikan hasil2 karya seni aku tu, (seni la sgt)... jgnlah dicampak mcm mende tu x de harga (mmg murah je mende tu), tp igtlah sket penat lelah kitorg sbg crafters... kitorg memberi dgn ikhlas, bkn hrpkan duit (kalau nk duit, dh kompem2 aku yg materialistik ni akan mintak duit), just hargailah hasil kerja kitorg... kalau korg pakai, n mende tu koyak, its ok... tp jgnla main campak2 je eh? kitorg penat bt tau! 

AKU TAK MAKSUDKAN SESAPA OK? AKU JUST IGTKAN JE... hehehe...

Buat ms ni, alhamdulillah... aku belum jmp lg mn2 kawan2 yg mencampakkan mende2 yg aku bg tu...

apa2pun, thanx Nana for appreciating my work... nana ckp, dia syg giler nk pakai keychain tu... n dia jg baik2, tima kaceh yer.... 

Crocheted Tissue Box Cover

Salam readers,

Such a long time i didnt write anything regarding my craft works... i have few projects that need to be posted but i wasnt able to do that as i was so busy with my training program in Terengganu... but now, I am back!!!

this is the 1st project Ive completed after the training program ended, my granny tissue box cover...i got the pattern from here... this is the easiest pattern I can say... even the beginner will be able to crochet using this pattern... it only took less than a day to be completed...

granny tissue box cover

then, i saw an interesting pattern in a crochet book which i bought last year... so, i decided to try to make 1... i googled as well to get some tips... as usual, i modified the pattern and here you go!!! my classic style tissue box cover!!!

Baju Raya For My Sweethearts...

Salam readers...

Hmm, actually saya tak sihat sepanjang minggu lepas... balik dari berfoya2 kat KL hari tu, terus demam teruk... few days after that dah ok dah, tapi yesterday demam balik... huh, seksa betul kehidupan bila terbaring je atas katil... baru hari ni terasa elok sikit... tupun abdomen sy rasa sakit sgt... x tau kenapa... huhuhu... 

actually nk share projek yang sy buat bbrp hari b4 raya hari tu... dh lama kan? tak sempat nak tulis kat blog... baju raya encik olympus dan baju raya encik samsung... kedua2nya 4 my sweethearts.. hehehe... 

nilah rupa baju raya dorang... pink tetap di hati... hehehe... my favorite color tu!!!

pattern untuk baju raya encik olympus was inspired by satu tutorial yang saya jumpa kat sini... tutorialnya bagus... tapi saya guna starstitch teknik... dalam tutorial asal dia guna single crochet... tp saya lebih suka guna starstitch... dan saya juga x letak flap sebab saya rasa lebih praktikal untuk saya yang suka tinggalkan sarung merata2... bila xde flap, sy selit tali encik olympus di celah2 lubang tali butang... so, xdela nanti tercicir kan? hehehe...

saja saya buat secara menegak... hehehe...

handphone sleeve was inspired by teresa... but, without flap juga... mmg sy x suka letak flap... sbb rasa susah nak keluarkan enpon... hahaha... macam ni lebih senang... 

nilah enpon sleeve sy... simple je... tapi tetap PINK!!!

nanti saya share pasal handphone case yang saya buat untuk bff saya pulak... till here... bye...

Crocheted Doll Amigurumi...

Salam readers...

Nak cerita pasal cute doll ni... tiba2 je rasa nak try buat teddy bear... then, google2 pattern & jumpa pattern kat sini... rasa macam senang je n bila buat pun memang senang!!! thank you jenny for the easiest pattern ever!!!

mula2 nk buat small teddy bear, tapi terbeli wiggle eyes yg besar... nk g kedai, yesterday jumaat, kedai2 kat Kedah ni konfem2 la cuti!!! so, decide buat doll jelah... (mata doll kale pink sbb xde beads kale itam in my stock).. hahaha... hentam sajelah labu!!!

my cute lil doll...

As this is my first crocheted amigurumi, I need to improve a few things :

• cantum kepala & body dlu instead of cantum body and dress...
• jahit/tutup bahagian rongga kapas b4 buat cantuman especially part lengan & kepala...
• lekatkan mata & mulut b4 buat cantuman...

Tapi saya masih mengagumi Cik Amani (crochet.is.fun) dgn hasil teddy bearnya... bilakah saya akan menjadi serajin dia?

Kerana Cinta Itu... Crocheted Baby Set For My BFF

Salam Ramadhan to all readers,

hmm... dah 15 hari kita berpuasa... semakin hampir perpisahan kita dengan bulan Ramadhan yang penuh kemuliaan dan keberkatan ini... dan mungkin juga bulan yang menjanjikan pendapatan luar biasa buat sesetengah umat Islam terutamanya peniaga2 di bazar Ramadhan... 

dlm sibuk2 nk menyambut Aidilfitri, sempat juga aku siapkan tempahan dr Paghah ni... katanya, nk diberi kpd kawan dia yg br dapat baby sbg adiah... maaf Paghah, lambat sket aku pos... huhu... bz sgt sjak Ramadhan ni... (mcm aku g berniaga kat bazar ramadhan je)

Actually, bila Paghah bgtau dia nk request baby set ni dr aku, aku sgt teruja... actually, aku suka sgt bila kait booties ni... siyesly, SANGAT SUKA!!! terutamanya part decoration utk gurls... bygkan, plain booties, aku decorate smp nampak cute giler... perasaan yg ckup indah mcm perasaan jatuh cinta tau bila aku tambah renda, butang, straps, ruffles!!! hilang segala tekanan, gugur segala amarah bila tengok kecomelan booties itu...... sbb tu aku never say no utk baby booties... 

Balik pada Booties, Paghah requested nk kale pink sbb dia ckp baby girl... aku la yg pandai2 letak putih sbb nk kasi cantek... hahaha... pattern booties ni sma mcm yg aku pnah buat dalam post  dulu... just aku modified bg jd T-straps je... nk bg nampak cute, letak bunga...

T-straps baby booties..

Untuk beanie plak, Paghah nak granny skul beanie... pattern yg aku amik dr tenet mmg ade, tp sbb saiz jarum n benang Malaysia x sma mcm yg omputih nyer, aku terpaksa modified... bukan modified je, last2, aku buat pattern sendiri... hahaha... sorilah ye, aku x dpt nk share pattern tu... bkn kedekut, tp aku mls nak taip pattern tu... hahaha...

Granny's Baby Beanie

Ni lak rupa baby set ni slps dipack... terus je aku pos gne poslaju...

Ok, aku pun dh ngantuk giler nih... Nitezzzz

My Baby Set... Pink Will Never Goes Wrong With White...

My Baby Set....

Sape yg dh pregnant or wife dia tgh pregnant or br deliver baby, bolehla request 1 set utk anak korg... hahaha... aku tau korg mesti geram tgk booties tu kn? sbb aku pun panasaran bila tgk... hahaha...

Dah lama rsnye x letak post psl crochet... hmm... n dh lama giler aku x buat project berkaitan baby nih... Memandangkan ade member aku, abg anuar br je dpt baby girl... aku pun mula la sibuk nk bg booties dgn beanie...  

Kalau dah baby girl, mesti kale pink kn? n aku lak sgt suke kale pink digabungkan dengan putih... seronok actually klu crochet utk pompuan ni... mcm2 ble style leh buat... klu lelaki, pening gak kepala nk memikirkan idea... hehehe... (suma crafter pun mesti setuju dgn aku bila aku ckp ssh nk buat design utk lelaki)..

Flowery Baby Booties... Aku letak bunga sbb aku masih dlm mood bunga-bunga... 

Side View... Actually ade button gbr kuceng... tp x nampak sbb tgn ini shaking bila amik gbr... hehehe...

So kpd crocheters yg tingin nk buat... leh la refer link kat bwh ni... utk baby booties... aku tgk kat youtube... senang je pattern nih... x ssh... ni linknyer...

Part 1 : The Sole

Part 2 : The Body

Part 3 : Left Edging

Part 4 : Right Edging

Vintage Rose Baby Beanie... Sesuai untuk cuaca Malaysia yang Sangat Panas kan?

Utk beanie ni, pattern dia aku amik kat sini... 

Hrp2 abg Anuar suka la dgn baby set utk anak dia ni... Sbb aku rs comel (aku buat, aku rs comella kn?)..tp rsnyer, klu aku ade anak, dh konpem2 aku x nk bg baby set ni kat sesapa sbb chumil sgt!!!

Crocheted Star Stitch Pencil Case...

Hehehe.. Rajin pulak aku update blog... Hehehe... 

Actually sbb x sabar sgt nk tulis entry pasal pencil case nih... tp yg menarik pasal pencil case ni adalah jenis stitch yang aku guna... selalunya untuk pencil case, aku gna 'scallop' stitch macam yang aku selalu buat dulu... tapi sebab dah terlampau bosan guna 'scallop', aku pun carilah pattern baru...

Puas jugak perah otak nak buat design baru... nasib baiklah ade cik teresa nih... teresa ni memang xpernah mengecewakan... aku just adjust saiz je... sesuaikan dengan saiz pencil case... crocheters yang rasa nak buat, bolehla usha2 link tu... sebab ade video juga...

Aku suka sangat dengan pattern starstitch ni sebab hasil crochet menjadi sangat kukuh dan rapat2... sangat sesuai untuk buat pencil case atau beg... xdela pen ke pencil terjojol keluar... hehehehe... tapi starstich ni agak susah la sebab dia lambat... kena teliti sebab dia sangat halus...

Pencil case ni actually was requested by my little cousin... umo dia br 10 thn... so, aku rs color cute mcm pink n light purple ni sesuai sgt la untuk dia kn? kebetulan, aku still ade stok untuk color pink n light purple nih... 

Pastu bila dah siap, terasa macam kosong je... so, dengan aku yg still dalam mood bunga-bunga... aku pun crochet la bbrp kuntum bunga2 kecik sebagai penyeri... hasilnya? 

TADAAAAA....

Saiz : 3.0"X7.5"

zoom in 'starstitch'... rapat2 n kemas kan?

pas dah siap, aku pulak yang jeles sendiri... rasa mcm x mo bagi je... sebab aku terasa yg pencil case ni terlalu comel... hahaha... x baik tol... hehehe..

okla... till here... nanti aku nk post entry yg dh sebulan tertangguh... entry 'trip to ipow' ku... till here... bye...

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!!!

Created With Love... Flowery Handphone Case and Farah's Keychain...

Why I said, created with love? Becoz I created both 4 people dat I love... 

The handphone case was created for Shanti, my department clerk who resigned two weeks b4 me... She was a good clerk... Hardworking, humble, polite and kind... She helped me a lot with my salary or OT payment and even 4 leaves application... So, I personally created this for her... White and Purple in color... I think they suit her the best... 

The case and flowers were done separately... I used double crochet to create the case... but 4 the flower, I got the pattern from http://mycrochetstuff.blogspot.com/2008/05/little-flowers-with-leaves-free-crochet.html Only after I have finished wif crocheting, I sewed the flowers on the case... 

She was really happy when i gave it to her... She said, she was thinking to purchase one... but i already gave her 1... She even wants to learn how to crochet with me... hehehe....

Shanti's flowery handphone case...

I also have completed the alphabet keychain 4 my best fren Farah... 4 me, she is not only a fren, but she is a sister... she is a person dat I can lean on... she loves her frens a lot... After a lot of things that we have gone tru 2gether, i just can say thank you 4 everything, Paghah... Only Allah can repay your kindness...

For this keychain, you can learn how to do it at http://friendship-bracelets.net/tutorial.php?id=2#h3600
You can find the pattern as well. There are also few useful videos on Youtube... You can google it yourself... Even I created this by referring to the tutorial only...

I choose red and yellow because Farah doesnt like girlish color like pink, purple... hahaha... Dats why, I used these "manly" color dat suit her character better... hahaha... 

Farah's Keychain... I love u, Farah...

I have crocheted a tray mat and a doily as well... but I will post the entry about them later... c yeah!!!

Ini Bukan Hadiah Valentine.... Heart Shaped Muffler n Keychain...

Salam to all,

Hmmm... everybody is too bz wif their Valentine's Day Celebration... As a muslim, I never celebrate Valentine... I dun need a day to 'berkasih sayang' coz everyday in my life is full wif hatred love... :P

But, I did crocheted a muffler/scarf (x tau nk beza scarf dgn muffler... im really 'kampong'...) wif heart motifs... It took me around 2 weeks to complete this scarf... Why heart motifs? 4 Valentine? Definitely not!!! I ve told u, I dun celebrate Valentine... Actually, during Valentine season, most of new crochet patterns available on the net must be something related wif heart shape... I hv found this pattern here, http://www.nezumiworld.com/crochet_133.htm .. So, I decided to make 1...

Even though this pattern was actually 4 a bookmark, I ve modified it a bit and create a muffler/scarf based on the pattern.  (pengaruh citer korea sbnrnya... hahahaha) Actually, ur cloth will look more expensive when u put a scarf around ur neck... (Aku rs la)

Heart Shape Motif Scarf...

After I hv completed my scarf, there is some remaining yarn... Not enough to make something big... So, i decided to crochet a heart shape's keychain... (x baik membazir benang kn? membazir amalan syaitan!!!) I give this to my little cousin... N looks like, she really love it...

Heart Shape's Keychain...

This is da latest pencil case I ve crocheted.... Done 4 my sister's colleague who is currently working as a teacher.... Da color was chosen b herself... Looks really sweet kn?

Another Scallop's Pencil Case...

Scallop Pencil Case...

Another post about my crochet madness... Actually, I had done a lot of crochet works since 5 years ago... But I just did 4 fun only... As a hobby...

Since I ve finished my study, i started to get more serious in crocheting... At first, I just crocheted 4 my own use... but, when i posted pictures on my facebook, there r few people who started 2 asked me to make one 4 them... my colleagues as well, asked me to crochet 4 them too... Then, I started to received orders from people around me...I dunno why, but pencil cases got da highest order... Maybe because they are usable, big(can b stuffed wif lots of things) n cute...

For all crocheters, Im really sorry becoz I cant share da pattern wif u becoz i just crocheted this thing as i like... no pattern reference... really sorry, yeah...

I would like to share some of my crochet works wif u guys... gimme some comments, so dat i can improve my works in future...

My 1st scallop pencil case... I did this 4 my colleague, Cik Ros.... Pinky White Scallop Pencil Case.. My favorite colors, pink n white...

I crocheted this 4 my sister... It was my 1st time to use this kind of yarn... Very hard to find that kind of yarn (yarn wif mixed colours)

Black & White... Smaller in size... very classic huh? Done 4 a fren of mine...

These two pencil cases were ordered by Abang Din 4 his children... Red Blacky Scallop Pencil Case...

 

 

 

Actually, I was a bit bored and tired when I ve to crochet da same things... But, when i see their happy faces, I become hepi too..

White-Pink Crocheted Baby Booties and Pencil Case

 This is my 1st post regarding crochet I guess... hmm... actually, i ve been in luv wif crochet since da 1st time i learned it which was 5 years ago... Thanx to a fren of mine 4 thought me... thanx to my aunt as well...

White Pink Baby Booties

I crocheted those booties 4 my fren, cik ros... she saw a pic of my old work in my phone n she asked me to make one 4 her... she said dat they were so beautiful n she wanna own 1... then, i started to make those booties 4 her... she loves pink... so, i choose pink to be da main color... n 4 a baby, white is da most suitable color i guess... in my eyes, pink will go along so well wif white... i really luv it...

Then, wif da same yarn, I crocheted this... A sweet looking pencil case 4 her... using da scallop pattern, i ve made this... It was 8"X4" big... Enough to store her stuff when she is working... hehehehe...
