Ulasan (Pattern Review)

It's been a very long time since I last update this blog. Oh my! this is very very bad. :D Today I really have to do it because I had volunteer to test a pattern for Lina A. R second book. Since the book is going to be in Bahasa Malaysia, and will be distributed in Malaysia, I will write this entry in Bahasa Malaysia. Should my friends who cannot understand Bahasa Malaysia, I am happy to explain for you if you interested to know. :D

Sekiranya anda pernah membeli buku seni kait jarum satu terbitan PTS Millenia Sdn Bhd, anda mesti kenal dengan penulisnya iaitu Puan Lina A. R. Buku pertama beliau bertajuk "Jahitan Crochet - Siri Satu" menampilkan projek-projek asas yang mudah untuk diikuti dan difahami. Buku tersebut telah mendapat sambutan yang hangat. Sekiranya anda belum mendapatkannya, anda boleh ke rak-rak "craft" di kedai-kedai buku seperti MPH, Popular, Harris atau anda juga boleh dapatkan secara online dari Puan Lina sendiri. Beliau juga bersedia untuk menerima tempahan secara pos. Sila lawati blog beliau : http://pinkyfrogshop.blogspot.com dan lihat sendiri projek-projek yang telah dimuatkan di dalam buku tersebut. Selain itu, blog tersebut juga ada menjual berang-barang kelengkapan mengait dan kit-kit permulaan.

Dengan sambutan yang menggalakan itu, pihak PTS Millenia Sdn. Bhd telah bersetuju untuk menerbitkan buku kedua Puan Lina. Buku yang dalam proses pembikinan itu akan memuatkan lebih banyak paten-paten untuk kegunaan harian dan idea-idea kreatif untuk menjana pendapatan keluarga terutama bagi surirumahtangga sepenuh masa. :D Antara paten yang dimuatkan di dalam buku ini adalah paten kopiah yang buat masa ini dikenali dengan nama kopiah Adik dan Abah. :D Paten ini ditulis dengan variasi saiz yang boleh disesuaikan mengikut umur. Sebagai contoh, paten yang telah saya uji (pattern testing) adalah seperti gambar di bawah. Modelnya adalah anak saya yang berusia 3 tahun. Hensem dak? hehe

Paten yang saya uji ini di tulis dalam bentuk rajah (chart). Ia mudah difahami dengan nota ringkas dan arahan yang lengkap yang disertakan. Peralatan yang diperlukan serta mata kaitan yang berkenaan juga dinyatakan dengan jelas. Kopiah yang saya buat ini menggunakan benang Minlon dengan jarum bersaiz 3.5mm. Benang Minlon adalah setara dengan jenama Nona dan Wina dari segi "weightage" ia itu "sport weight" atau dipanggil juga 4 ply. Kopiah ini saya siapkan dalam tempoh kurang dari 2 jam. Ia dikategori dalam "fast project" atau projek pantas. Ia amat sesuai untuk dijadikan hadiah di saat-saat akhir (last minute gift). Mata jahitan (stitch) yang digunapakai adalah ch, sc dan dc. Semua mata jahitan tersebut dikategorikan sebagai mata jahitan asas (basic stitches) yang banyak digunakan dalam projek-projek peringkat permulaan (beginner's projects).

Saya harap buku kedua Puan Lina akan mendapat sambutan yang baik seperti buku pertamanya. Marilah kita menyokong penulis tempatan kita. :D Puan Lina, fighting!

Terima kasih kerana membaca ulasan ini. :D Kepada yang berminat untuk melihat hasil kerja saya memandangkan saya jarang update blog ni, buleh la ke Facebook Page saya iaitu " Seri Handmade". Buat masa ini saya banyak membuat bear sebagai gift dan keepsake. Terima kasih kepada semua yang sellau menyokong saya juga. Anda semua amat saya hargai.

terima kasih

Too Many Things, Too Little Time

Do you ever had the same situation? I bet anybody does. Or did. Or is having the same situation. that is what I'm having right now. I am suppose to have sort of three months free time (semester break) but until now (third week) I haven't really enjoy the so called "holy-day". Plans.. plans.. plans... and all those mental notes..

So, a thousand miles journey must always start with one small step eh .. I have a long list of to-do items and for the beginning, let me just say that I am selling my handmade baby jacket/sweater. Please feel free to email me about the price and shipping. Should you need any customised one - colour of your choice, any additional  applique or anything, I am always open to discussion. Here is my new offer. Please note that the previous jackets (the one with pompoms) is available too.

Thank you for looking

So Much to Thank...

38 years ago, at 8.43a.m, I was born by Cesarean. The scar is still on my mom's tummy. 38 years is a very long time. At least it is to me. So many things had happened. I met so many people; some are still with me, some already gone. Born with nothing on, I have a lot now. And for that, I thank Allah.

Lacy Cardigan

I made this cardigan some times ago and only now I have the chance to show it off. Actually its colour is not brown as it look in this picture. It is maroon. Should anybody interested to buy it, please email me. It fits size M to XL :D

Bear with It

I've been an addict to yan's bear that I made a handful of them. Kudos to her. I had some yarn supply from a kind heart lady, Liz to make them. But the bear required quite an amount of yarn too. So I decided to re-engineered the pattern and make the bear into smaller sizes. And here they are .. please bear with it because they are so many of them. You will see what I mean soon.. be very afraid.. LOL! 

What do you about him? :D

Thank you for looking!

Geek? ;)

Today I installed an application that enable me to blog via my phone. I've been looking for this application for a while and I got it now. Yippie! Hope I can blog often now. Yay!

Three Things that Speaks No Language

... and one of them is ART!!!! Well, Crochet is an art. ;) And so, if last time I was buying Japanese books like I can speak Japanese, now I bought Chinese books!!! LOL! Okay, I am half Chinese but I never heard my mom speak any Chinese word (maybe a few - sometimes). So, if you are to ask me, the answer is no, I don't know any Mandarin, Hakka, Hokkien, or Hailam. ;) but I know how to read these books. haha! I bought these 4 Chinese books and 2 English books. :D. I'm on cloud nine! la la la la

I bought these books during a trip to my comfort place on earth - Kinokuniya. :D And here is a few close up .. la la la la.. My heart still singing happily ...

And this is my favourite of all favourite of this batch .. a teddy bear book... *dancing* boom shkalaka boom shakalaka (this is the song I'm listening right now) Yay!

By the way, Does anyone knows the other two things that speak no language? If you do, let me know, will you?

Thank you
