We spoiled ourself pretty good!
I always think God is good and mercy to let me be a female, woman! I really really think there are too many special ways that gals can spoil themself! haha... SO tonight is a night that me and Sam decide to spoil ourself! She picked me up from work at 5pm and we got the ticket for a movie at 8.40pm. That means, we still had 2 hours plus for shopping and something else. And we wanted to do manicure! =)
Thats a small but sweet nail shop in the mall and it was jam packed with people. We waited for about 15mins to get to our turn. I chosen a very sweet and solid pink! Hello Kitty pink! And Sam chosen a shiny crystal purple !

And I finally passed the liatris Sam to sam last night! She tried it on in the fitting room. haha.. and I quickly snap this picture to show you all! It definitely looks nice on her!!! SHe loves it!


We watched the Prestige and the story is just OK and personally i think the movie was too long and boring at the middle part! But no harm to watch 2 handsome actors at all! =) Again, I enjoy this night out with Sam alot. Next Tuesday, 31st of Oct, we will be hunting ice-cream at Baskin robin 31! ha! Cant wait for next date with Sam!

slow slow progress!
I have decided to make a shawl with the fern-leave crochet pattern. I know it will come out nice as well but I really wish I could complete it in the original cardigan. There are actually 4 different crochet patterns to make up the whole pattern. 2 of them are just too complicated. So all this while I been crochetting another 2 simple ones. Thats what showed in the picture below.


To make a nice and big shawl, I really need to do tons of this! I have no any other knitting/crochet projects on hand, so i can concentrate in finishing it! GAM BA TEH! So everyone, have a look at how many I have exactly made so far~ haha... WAY TO GO !




This the complete Liatris Sam! I will meet Sam tomorrow and will take some pics when she tries this on! Its real sweet and elegant! And it proves again how much I love lace pattern! =)

what a day !!!
It was a very wonderful morning, my cab was late for an hour but this dint annoy me! My mood was still very good,emotion well- undercontrolled. Until...... I found that my cellphone LOST! Wait a minute, I did use my cellphone at work, I did talk to my darling... and.. I remembered I put it on the table.. WHy ? Why its gone now??? It was not a very busy day, not too many customers around but its quite hard for me to figure out WHO STEAL it.
I been using this phone since 2002. 4 years.. ITs a lousy NOKIA 8310. But honestly, I love using it and dint bother at all to spend any money to buy high-tec cellphone. I just cant believe its gone now and no longer with me. Why ??? It doesnt cost anything nowadays and Why people still wanna STEAL it??? I have lots and lots precious messages in it. Many many important numbers...
Anyway, rewind the CCTV, it shown clearly that a stupid drug- addict STOLE IT ( he was there to buy needle n syringe ). I tried calling when i found its lost and no one picked up the phone. But the stupid moron picked up when my friend called 30mins later. He asked for at least RM100 then only he will return the phone. And I decided not to give a damn. I suspend the line service and plan to get a new sim card with my old number. And I will be using the 2nd hand cellphone from my boss..sigh... Why ? why ? Its very frustrating when your cellphones gone ---- > this is the first incident which DARKEN my day! * sucks *
2nd thing is..... I still have another 6 rows to complete the liatris sam AND... I am running out of YArn!!! Frustring enough huh??!!! Yes.. I need to buy another ball just to knit another short 6 rows at the neckline! Aaahh.. eeerrr.. I cant pass it to Sam tomorrow!


So.. the mission for tomorrow will be
1) Issue a new sim card and get back some important numbers
2) Buy another ball FIRST and decide later will use the same yarn for other projects or not!
WHAT A DAY !!!

I cant finish it! =(

aaahh.. I want to finish it by 16th but seems like its a impossible mission now. Sorry Sam, I cant give it to you as a present on your big day! I only complete 75% of it! sorry sorry!!! But It is a sweet piece I know Sam will like it! Going to knit one for myself but no idea what colour yet and definitely will be using cotton yarn! woo hoo!!!
Was thinking what to be my next project and I really wish I could knit something with mohair laceweight yarn. Something loose... sexy... lacey sweater! Will search for pattern soon.
And I want to confess... I dint crochet any lately! aaahh ahhh ahhhh..well well well, I should admit that I dont think I will crochet the cardigan, but might change it to a poncho or shawl! Not a bad idea at all right ? hehe !

sweet bolero!

This is a quick one! I dont think i spend more than 5 days to complete it. It came out exactly the way i want! Its amazingly sweet! woohooo~ * 0 *
I initially chose a lace pattern out of a pattern magazine, then I tried writting the whole pattern with helps from my SI FU (master). You know what, I really like this colour and I think it goes well with the black ribbon as well! Actually is the left over Peony yarn which i used to knit FBS. I just used 2 balls of Peony to complete this bolero! Cheap and Sweet!




haha... yes.. I just love it too much so I coulnt stop posing in front of the camera. Well, just share this happiness with me k? I try to concentrate on Liatris Sam and Fern-leave... Try so hard not to eye on any other PATTERN... Try so hard not to buy any YARN.. hold back hold back and hold back! hahaha... I really wanna complete the Fern-leave...
