Finally finished the second scarf that i’ve pledge to donate to the needy in Thailand.
It’s a corner to corner scarf. Pretty cool way to make the scarf from corner to corner. I only had a bit of trouble at the end coz i didn’t quite get what the pattern was saying. But in the end i did figure it out. ^_^v
Crocheted my very first necktie today. At first i wanted to make the tie stripey but then i ended up making it plain. Decided to add a Superman logo to it coz it’s going to be a birthday present for my 2nd bro.
But there’s just one thing about the tie that i don’t like…it tends to twist on itself and it’s a challenge to tie the knot. 😅
I finally used up one of the test swatch fabric i designed and ordered from Spoonflower. Other than the two coasters i mentioned in the previous post, i also made a brooch and card case with it.
I was thinking that maybe it would have been better as a magnet. Oh well.. maybe next time (if i order the fabric again or if someone is interested to purchase)
Of course i had to use felt as well since it’s only a piece test swatch which measures 8″ by 8″. I love how well the card case turned out. I will probably make more with the other test swatch fabrics i ordered with this one. ;)
Just finished this butterfly hat. It turned out way smaller than i thought it would. Oh well… i’m sure there is a kid that would fit into it and love it.
This hat and the two featured in the previous post will be mailed out to my ravelry friend tomorrow. I do hope they will be cherished and that they will keep the needy warm.

I also finished Blangs the sock bunny and a couple of felt coasters.
It’s been a long while since i made a sock toy. So Blangs is my first sock toy in 2015. Do you like the red rocket coasters? The red rockets is one of my fabric design on Spoonflower available for sale. ;)
It took me long enough (almost 3 weeks) to finish this scarf:
Feels good to finish it. I seem to have trouble finishing items that just go on and on. ^^; Anyone has the same issue as me? If anyone is interested, this scarf was made using this Lion Brand free pattern. I’ll be starting another scarf later. This one and the one to be made will be donated to those who need them in Thailand.
A friend on Ravelry earburned me and asked if i would take up her challenge of making a hat (or more) for charity. Of course i had to take up thr challenge. But since we don’t have extremely cold temperatures here (actually we don’t have cold temperatures unless you walk into a room with the aircon blasting), i told her that i will make the hats and send them to her so that she can give them to those who needs them. To make a hat is defintiely faster than to make a scarf. Here’s the first finished hat made from this pattern:

Hats are really quick makes!!! Here’s one made from a pattern on Ravelry by Valerie Whitten:
Yay! Finished these flower hairclips today. These will be worn by a little girl to school. =)
No, i’m not talking about a pirate’s granny nor am i talking about a granny who is a pirate. I’m talking about this:
A granny square with a pirate in the middle (you can find the free pattern here. There’s also instructions for a skull, a ship and a parrot). Ahoy mateys!
I’ve included this granny square with 24 others in my cheater quilt fabric design.
What do you think? Too colourful? Okay?
