Rajut Merajut

Phew! Finally it finish Yup, it’s my September CAL project with my mailing list friends. Thanks God I can finish it  on  the last day of this September I did it 100% finish on a car ride at Bandung, visiting my mother-in-law who get ill last week.

Considering my stash, I made this bag with uncommon color combination. My friend  call it a weirdo color when saw the WIP, but when it almost finish she struck on it and make a bargain to have it But it’s pretty bag actually, isn’t it? I used brown, pink and coffe-milk cotton yarn and a small amount of bali-cotton (Indonesian Cotton Thread ) left from my tunisian bag project.

This bag made in  crochet method with single crochet (sc) sticth for the body, but I combine it with tapestry crochet at some rows to make a dotted effect.  To fill the handles I used “tali tambang” instead of cording. To make a connection between the body, handles and ovelay and also to keep the color harmony, I added 1 row extra in brown on top of bag’s body. You can see it at the inside part of bag… I think it’s a sweet lining

So, here I’m … ready to show off my bag. Maybe I have to spare an extra time to lining the body to make it more firm.

Pfffff, akhirnya selesai juga nih bikin coaster dari project MT Coaster asuhannya mbak Lenny. Ceritanya beberapa waktu yang lalu mbak Lenny menggelar project MT (Mistery Thread), berhubung bikin coaster (kecil kan) langsung deh daftar jadi perserta pertama. Ealah selesainya urutan buntut … jadi malu… hiks

Coaster yang terdiri dari 8 row ini unik, karena row 5-8 overlap alias tumpang tindih. Jenis tusukan yang dipakai simple kok cuma ch, sc, dc, sl st, sama tr. Hihihihi, yang baca pusing ya Ini contekannya:

Akhirnya…, kurang lebih itu kata mbak Lenny via email beberapa hari lalu. Yup saya dan bundanya Azka ini beberapa waktu yang lalu janjian bikin project merajut bareng… istilahnya knitting along kalau gak salah. Kita kenalan di milis mari_merajut…, email-emailan terutama pas banjir besar kemarin karena keluarga mbak Lenny tinggal di daerah yang kena banjir. Nyaris mau kopdar waktu mudik tapi sayangnya gagal, trus saya juga dikirimin paket dari Jepang. Mbak Lenny juga selalu support saya via email waktu mas Riyo habis kecelakaan. Makasih ya Bunda Azka
