Knitting!
Haha
Just like my mother, I am born with a talent of good making skills, therefore knitting has become one of task I do to get rid of my stress or to make personal presents to my friends.
I have made several scarves and attempted to make mittens but the favorite I love to knit is either making scarves with patterns with, only with very soft and good yarns or making cushions.
This is a scarf I made to one of my friend who loved, absolutely loved yellow! Using yellow and ivory color and spiral patterns I made a long and thick scarf for her and I am pretty sure she often wears it during winter.
There are more I made but not all are photo taken :(
Oh and the cushion I made has a quite saddening story behind it! I am sure most of my friends very well remember of that incident since I made a great fuss about it. It was a Junior year during the end of January leading to February when the season of love, the Valentine's day was coming. I was making heart shaped cushion and of course since it is a cushion I had to put some cottons into it. Yet, I had no cotton what so ever near me. And I must tell you, I love pillows that I owned three to four pillow just on my bed. Meaning, I had not a single thought to open my pillow and take out some cottons from it. Therefore next solution were dolls. Funny cause most of girls adore dolls. However, I was quite different. I did not adore dolls as much as others. I often threw them or placed them somewhere I would really look at. After doubting for thirty minutes, I reached my hands to the dolls in my room. I believe I had five at that time. All from different people but the one that caught my eyes was the one I got from my mentor but the doll that got caught by my friends was the one from my ex-boyfriend. Haha. How cruel of they, they set their minds on it so with no questioning, they were ready to cut it open one hand with the doll and the other with scissors. Then I had to decide which part to cut. Surely I loved that doll as I got it from someone I like so cutting part had to be less painful than it could ever be. So soon I started asking my friends, even texting, then the decision was made. To cut the foot of the doll and take out the cotton from legs to up. :( Aw, it hurt my heart so much it took no joke, about ten minutes to cut.
Now, I will show the final piece of the cushion!
:) Adorable right? The cushion was perfect heart shape and the fuzziness of the yarn was the key point!
Sorry JMK :( I did not mean to hurt the doll you gave me but... the cushion does look adorable, right? :)
