Casual Crochet & Knitting Episodes

Zurainny Ismail March 27, 2018

I have been so lazy! No updates, no new posts and comments have been left unanswered for months! But I won’t take down this site because it’s my crafting journal – it will stay for as long as Hubby is willing to support all the costs involved.

I blame it on Facebook and Instagram. FB and IG have made it so easy to share my casual crochet and knitting episodes that I find blogging hard. Nonetheless, today, I am prompted to push myself to write because I have a great news to share!

I have a niece! My sister has successfully caught up with me and now we both have 5 children, consisting 3 sons and 2 daughters each. Isn’t that marvelous? And that has motivated me to finish my first knitted baby blouse.

Admittedly, it was supposed to be a dress. But I knew that if I stick to the pattern and continue working on a dress at the same snail pace,  baby Azizah would outgrow the outfit. So, I decided to keep it short. And to make up for the lack of length, I added some crocheted florals. I bought the pattern from Ery from Da’Knit and referred to her video tutorials on YouTube.  Without her video tutorial, I would be lost.

And I have kept myself committed to doing only 2 projects at a time. Problem is – I got more than 2 wips! Therefore, I have to choose. One of the wips that is brought back to life is this lovely shawl:

A Crocheted Shawl in Progress

Progress has been embarrassingly slow since March 2017. As such, I am determined to press on with this until completion because if I stop, I know I would forget all the tricks and tips of the complicated pattern. And I would also have to refer to the video all over again, which will consume much time, and involve lots of mistakes. By the way, I got the pattern from a video tutorial on YouTube. Thank you, Oana! Now, I am on the 2nd skein of Alize Diva (silk effects) yarn.

Of course, I couldn’t resist purchasing new yarns! Being a working woman again has made it so easy to indulge on online shopping. So, those will be tucked somewhere out of sight for a while. I am lying, obviously. There’s a new hat in progress, as well.

Zurainny Ismail

Hello! I am a mom of 5, living in the beautiful city of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. My dream is to have more time for family trips, cross stitching, crocheting, reading, watching movies and contribute to the well-being of the community. My favourite words of wisdom is : 'Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well' -which I fail miserably when implementing.
