My little knitting project

It had been a week since i started my little knitting project. I don't have much time to knit during weekdays, approx 1 to 2 hours everyday..seriously, i feel i had quite a good progress on this, but ar, i'm doing this all by myself, nobody to ask, only some website to refer... that is why i kept having this feeling that somehow some where is not right. hehe.. so end up how? redo and redo again...~sigh..

besides the feeling of i'm doing it wrong, another reason i redo is because the scarf is getting wider and wider. let me give u an example, i started with 15cm, after knit knit knit now it become 20cm!!! why ar? can anybody tell me why? I don't mind wide, but i scared my 4 yarns not enough la.. i don't want to spend another RM50+ for new yarns le.... and i feel 20cm wide for a scarf is really a bit too wide rite? dun tell me i need to redo again lar..cos i already knit till 30cm long already.. hmmm...maybe i shall just close one eye and keep on knitting, make a short and wide scarf lor.. :p

My expensive new hobby!!

Remembered I posted something on my new interest? All talk no action? Don't worry, i'm not this kind of ppl. hehe, so after i researched, asking friends where to buy where to learn how to learn (not much ppl knows about it.. and not much shops selling too, had a hard time to find the shop), i finally decided to go get something to start on my new interest!

Last time when i was still in college, i stayed around Damansara Jaya, I got no transport back then, so Atria is the shopping centre that i always lepak. within 10 minutes walk can reach ma.. so i remembered there's a shop there selling knitting stuff, i decided to try my luck there. haven't been there for at least more than 5 yrs.. dono that shop still there or not. hehe...

wow, i'm very lucky! the shop is still there!! i walked in, there are a few ppl learning knitting there.. then was very surprised that the boss is a young man! wow.. so i told him i'm interested to learn knitting, and asked him what i need...

the boss is very nice and patient, told me wat kind of yarn i should buy and also taught me how to knit.. i very 'lun chun' keep doing it wrong. haha.. i stayed there for around half hour, learn how to knit. He started for me (he said if i learn starting and knitting at the same time it would be very confused, so asked me to learn knitting first.) and asked me to continue, after i'm sure i know how to continue, i bought all the things i need and headed back home.

guess wat, after i reached home, i accidentally pulled out the yarn that had nicely started by the boss!! oh my god.. how how how? i dono how to start leh... luckily there's a thing called internet, i go search for a site to learn how to start knitting. after trying for 2 hours.. i finally managed to make it similar like what the boss taught me (i think it's similar, i also not sure whether it's correct or not. wuahahahahaha...) so here's what i bought..

trust me, it is VERY EXPENSIVE!!
one yarn = RM 26.90, the needle set, RM 18.90.
so altogether 4 yarns & 1 needle set = RM 126.50!!!!
no matter i like it or not
i will definitely force myself to finish this scarf!!

this is the work done for 2 hours, everything by my own ler..
starting, knitting.. wuaahahaha..
very proud of myself. :p
(wait till i finished the whole scaft only proud lar. :p)
well, hopefully i'm able to show you my finished scarf.
of cos, i dono when will that be.. hehe..let's wait and see..

What's wrong with my new interest?

I told my friend i'm interested in learning knitting. The reaction she gave me, totally disappoints me. what kind of reaction? well, she laughed, she laughed really hard, really really hard. HEY!! what's wrong with my new interest?

frankly speaking, if you know me in person, you probably will have the same reaction too. why? because i don't really look like a gal that will do such thing, it's tooooo 'lady'.. get what i mean? well, sad to say, i actually agreed on the statement above. ~sigh..i really dun looked like someone that will love knitting. hey wait a minute, did i say i love? no i don't love, i just have this thought of learning knitting few hours ago. hehe.. i'm not even sure i will love it or not.

ok, u laughed lar..i don't mind..hehe... let's see when i will start knitting (maybe very soon, maybe i never will..). :p am doing some research now, of cos i didn't think that i'm able to knit a sweater some day, but at least a scarf maybe? long long square square, can be long can be short, hehe...

oh ya, don't worry, i will not invest a lot in my new interest (i heard knitting can be quite costly), cos i scared it's a 3 minutes interest! :p
