Knitting

I jumped into the world of crocheting and knitting about 12 months ago. Funny how I don't remember the reason I decided to do so. I had no previous experience in either of them, except a simple scarf I knitted back when I was in primary school. I think I didn't even finished it myself! I must have just knitted a few rows, at most half of the scarf, and my mum finished it off for me! LOL.

Anyway, back in early 2012, I somehow wanted to learn how to crochet, and embarked on my quest to find my first crochet hook and yarns at Lincraft, but instead I was attracted to their display of several ruffle scarves. Next to the scarves was a small TV showing a video on how to knit them and it looked so easy! By the time I made it out of their doors, I have bought myself a pair of bamboo knitting needles and a ball of their Elicia yarn in my favourite colour to try out. :)

It was really very easy and fun knitting with the Elicia yarn - minimal effort with great result! I was able to whip up a nice scarf in no time!

However, based on the pattern that came with the yarn, the resulting scarf was too bulky and long for this little panda mum! So, with the leftover yarn from the same ball, I knitted a shorter, narrower one and the end result looked much better on my small frame! :)

I was a little hooked on this fun ruffle yarn and a few months down the track, I stock up on more colours! They make a great Mother's Day or birthday present for the special lady in your life! ;)

When I am done with my current crocheting project, I might knit one of each colour mix to show those who may be interested. :)
