What I Did Last Friday

During dull Friday afternoon lunch break (used to move around Jln TAR before but here now.. nowhere to go .. haha) I did this! yay! I'm knitting. lalalalala. I know Kema will be very jealous with the gifted talent God gave me. Thank you God. Actually I've been longing to learn to knit. Bought the needles very long time ago. but don't have the opportunity to learn from a real teacher.

I learned how to cast on, knit stitch, purl stitch and cast off through the net from this site : http://www.theknittingsite.com/. A good site indeed. The videos are clear and the instructions are easy to follow. *wink*

so now, lihatlah donia! I can knit! lalalalala

Thank you Johanna for letting me test this pattern. I'm so honoured to have done it for you. Feel free to ask me test any patterns in future eh? ekekekekke
