Shawl
Finally I've finished my shawl... I started this project beginning of June. HUbby and I were out for lunch one day. The sun was shining but the wind was chilly. I had a cardi with me but when I had it on, I was too warm, If I didn't put it on, my arms were feeling the chill of the wind... so Hubby and I were discussing it... hehe... he said I needed a shawl and suggested I made one... I was so impressed with him that day.... heheh.. I loved shawls...old fashioned shawls with tassels... haha and so I made one... Here it is... I love the colour and the size of this!!! hahaha.. now all i need is make a brooch to go with it!!!
Elephant
hahaha how cute is this???
All in all, not a bad effort I think!
haha..... I decided to take a break from jewellery making today and try out the elephant project for my friend in KK. To be honest, in the beginning and speaking from experience, instructions on the website this project is on is not very well written. More often than not, it doesn't come out looking like the picture. But the elephant came out better than I thought it would. And as can be seen from the right ear, I had to improvise and fix the other ear so one looks nice and the other looks like it doesn't fit. Oh well!!! But it is cute!
I made this out of scrap yarn I had in my stash and I ran out of the light blue yarn and had to sambung with the brighter blue to finish the trunk... although I could hv just stopped when I ran out of the light blue...hmmm cos It's a bit too long actually. I stuffed it with tissue, aloe vera fragranced tissue, mind you! heheh cos I had no stuffing and didn't want to go and get some.
All in all, not a bad effort I think!
