Brown Bag

My friend ordered a bag in dark color. When i saw the brown Softy Cotton yarn, I thought it will suitable for her with gold color in the center of the granny square. I made 8 granny squares, 4 square are in the frontside and another 4 are in the backside of the bag..

I learned to make lining inside the bag. I chose cotton fabric for the lining. First, i sew the zipper to the fabric with sewing machine and then i sew it to the body of bag by hand. 

Flower Hat

The flower hat made from Thalenta's ICTS which consist of rayon,cotton and polyster threads and hook no 6. This hat was requested by my friend for her 8 years daughter. It took 2 days to make it. Enjoy the supper!!

Garter Stitch Bandana

Bandana yang dibuat dengan teknik knitting ini pesanan teman untuk keponakannya..Pengerjaannya 2 hari dengan benang katun lokal warna pink dan SPN 5 mm. Rencananya sih memakai SPN 4,5 mm tapi karena panjangnya hanya 20 cm ya terpaksa pakai yang ada. Jadinya memang lubangnya besar-besar. 

Pembuatan bandana ini juga sekalian belajar membuat knit (K) lebih rapi. Sayangnya belum terlalu rapi :(. Malu sebenarnya sama si pemesan tapi dia ok aja ya monggo kerso..Lain kali harus bikin yang lebih baik lagi

Bandana Tunisian

Mumpung masih hangat belajar tunisian, kali ini bikin bandana dengan teknik Tunisian Purl Stitch. Untuk pinggirannya pake teknik crochet karena setelah jadi ternyata segitiganya kurang besar. Ini akibat saya masih belum bisa mengira-ngira besarnya segitiga ketika di-decrease *kan masih belajar :)* Sekalian belajar ganti warna di bandana ini ..Masih jauh dari sempurna tapi membuat saya semakin jatuh cinta sama tunisian..

Bahan : Benang Katun Lokal
Hook : No 5 dan 8

Tunisian Lace

Ini proyek latihan Tunisian Lace yang baru dipelajari Sabtu, 31 Juli kemarin di Saung Thalenta. Sekarang lagi jatuh cinta sama Tunisian karena jenis tusukannya unik. Tempat HP ini dikerjakan cuma 1 jam saja, itu termasuk finishing. Cepat kan?. Benang Softy Cotton Thalenta dan Hook no 5 Clover. *maaf fotonya kurang terang*

Kalau tidak memakai pegangan...

Mini Entrelac Tunisian Bag

Setelah perjuangan panjang tas ini bisa juga diselesaikan..*lebay*. Ya bagaimana lagi ,soalnya baru pertama kali in bikin tas dengan Tunisian. Untuk memecahkan polanya aja butuh 3 hari he..he.. dicoba gini kok gak sama dengan fotonya..dicoba gitu kok sama aja. Akhirnya ketemu lah 'tusukan rahasianya' :). Benar-benar trial and error deh. Udah gitu waktu udah jadi dasar tasnya baru nyadar kalo benangnya kekecilan. Kan di pola ditulis pake hook 5 mm, dalam pikiranku hook no 5. Dan waktu ngambil hook 5 mm juga gak mikir-mikir lagi. Jadi pake benang Softy Cotton gendut yang 5 ply. Mau bikin dari awal kagok rasanya. Lain kali aja bikin lagi *alesan*.
Pengalaman pertama bikin tunisian menyenangkan ..bin penasaran. Tapi puas dengan hasilnya walopun ini butuh verifikasi lagi dari Mbak Thata yang bikin pola. Setelah jadi tasnya cukup buat Talaa :D. Mau ke pasar nduk?

Alkisah.....

Merajut baru aku kenal waktu kuliah sekitar tahun 1998. Diawali dari seorang teman yang menerima pesanan tas rajut dari nilon, kadang dia merajut di sela-sela pergantian jam kuliah. Lama-lama karena tiap hari "dikomporin" akhirnya pengen juga bisa merajut. Bikin chain, single crochet, double crochet, bikin dasar tas, pokoknya yang dasar sekali. Dulu belajarnya pake benang kasur yang kasar itu. Cuek beibeh pokoknya belajar. Aku merajut dimana aja, ya waktu nunggu angkot, di kosan, di kampus. Proyek pertama ya ngikut gurunya yaitu bikin tas. Tugas kuliahyangbanyak akhirnya bikin hobi satu ini gak kepegang lagi sampai tahun 2003 pas hamil anak pertama nemu buku rajutan punya mamah. Langsung nyetrum deh mau bikin lagi. Kali ini proyeknya bikin tempat HP dan doily. Tapi tetap aja belum ngeh gimana cara bikin produk yang bagus karena kebanyakan ngarang aja dan gak dihitung. Jadi ada tempat HP yang mletat mletot :D. Sempat vakum lagi beberapa tahun sampai akhirnya waktu hamil anak ketiga (yang kedua gugur) tahun 2007 aku nemu buku Rajutan untuk Pemula-nya mbak Thata Pang. Mulai saat itu sampai sekarang lumayan konsisten bikin-bikinnya :). Walopun kadang gak sempat karena kerjaan ibu RT @_@. Selain itu aku menemukan milis yang benar-benar mendukung hobi ini. Wah, senangnya dari hobi bisa ketemu teman-teman baru di Indonesia dan mancanegara. Ini beberapa foto karya jaman dulu. Masih proses belajar sampai sekarang jadi mohon dimaklumi kalo kurang rapi.
