My 1st Knitting Project

Need to apology again... been MIA from this blog for quite a long time... if I was not fall sick and don't want to spread the virus across the office, also due to I can't stay away from pc for too long but actually has nothing to do here, I don't know when am I going to do some posting...

I'm sure if my blog were someone alive, he will slap me straight... sorry blog...

Back to my topic... Should blog this last year but I'm a bit hesitate to do so, because you know, my art always very lousy... and I'm afraid ppl might be finger pointing their screen and laugh: "like this also she dare to post!"... no I'm just too imaginative (should blame the flu medicine & stupid antibiotic) Aactually I think my blog readers are mainly my friends and they are always very dear to me...

Last year when my dearest I Leen (aka my loukong, but I swear we are not lesbian and she is getting married end of this year, with a MAN! I can't remember when we started calling each other loukong loupo, but we really can't find any other word which is dearer then these), she told me she was going to Taiwan for training and she was a bit nervous, I think mostly because she can't read Chinese. But believe me, she is the smartest girl I've ever seen who can learn Cantonese through TVB series... yes, I have difficulty learning language, 4 years in college with her, it's easy to notice her Cantonese were getting better and more fluent but my English was still very suck! I'm so sorry for her because she always give me a lot of opportunity to speak English but still I never progress... not to mention how she helped me to pass my exam... (she always kept a copy of her note to me when I ponteng... so, end up, I felt very guilty and attended most of the classes, except Tamadun Islam, I can't stand the lecturer)

opps... out of topic, nope, just that I seldom mention her in my blog, so, just some introduction here.

Year end in Taiwan was a cold... I wanted to buy her a jacket or something... but end up, I chose to knit her a scarf... at least being a loupo for her for so long, should do something now.

I went to Sungai Wang, there's a knitting shop (in fact, this is the only one I know in town) near Vincci and got to know this through another dearest friend of mine, Kitman (a real knitting expect), I picked a yarn real quick because I know what colour I want, either pink or light purple. End up, I bought this, it's pink with blue tints.

Initially I bought only 5 balls of yarn but felt a bit too short when almost finished the 5th ball. So, I went back to get one more, luckily they still have stock.

When I was knitting it, I was in my centre stock audit marathon, so, the knitting was my best partner when I finished my work and back to the hotel at night.

Ta da...
The purple flower crochet wasn't done by me, because the knitting aunty hinting me I was too slow and if she were to teach me how to knit it, would take her a day... :(

This is the most simple pattern for a scarf...

The gift has not completed until I get a beautiful box like this.
Although I know there's a typo error on the over, but I can compromise with the beautiful design and exactly the shape that I'm looking for.

The happy owner of the scarf aka my loukong aka my dearest friend - I LEEN!
I'm so glad she loves it although when she took out the scarf, the last knit spoilt (must be due to I didn't tied the knot strong enough, I felt so sorry).
