Another Crochet Ribbed Beanie

Heeeey, Dear...!

Horaay for Mommy as I just finished another Crochet Ribbed Beanie for your Grandpa. Made from the same yarn like your Daddy's beanie, LB Vanna's Choice in Dark Grey. BUT, unfortunately there weren't enough yarn for the crown, so I substitute it with Caron Country in Charcoal. Not much different from the colour tone, but they do different in fiber character --Caron is more light and flexible--. However, you will hardly notice it, as it only on the couple of rounds of the crown ;p.

Anyway, like I told you before here that this Crochet Ribbed Beanie is an easy pattern and one of my favourite. It isn't crochet in rounds-top-to-bottom, instead it made in rows so you can get that 'knit-ribbed' look. The rows part are easy, but it's a bit tricky for me to ending the crown. I've tried to look on Youtube on 'How-to' ending crochet beanie, but I found nothing. Of course, that's because commonly Hat or Beanie is crochet from top-to-bottom. BUT, then I found these two videos that help me so much with this 'case'. Now...I'll happily share the videos to you so you guys can also tried this wonderful pattern for yourself or your loved one :D

The second video, I don't know why, can not embed. But you can go straight to her youtube channel here....also you'll found other fun crochet project tutorials from Teresa. Oh, and believe me, Miss Teresa is a very wonderful crochet teacher :)

So...may my Angels have a wonderful crocheting times, and wish you all a beautiful-wonderful Hat to wear on ;D.

XOXO..... :*

Beanie for Hubby

Evening Dear.....

Finally, I made something for my beloved Husband. Hehehehe...your Daddy asked me to craft something for him. Well, maybe after some Knit and Crochet projects I made for my Angels and other family members, it's time I make something for him. So when I was looking at Hat pictures on Ravelry, your Dad chose one picture and said, "Make me this one, Dear". Oh, with my pleasure Honey...'coz he chose a Crochet Beanie picture...YES, back to crochet! ;p

I'm using Lion Brand Vanna's Choice in Dark Grey colour. It's a Medium weight yarn...

The Beanie was Crocheted with Knit-stitch look, so I think it's kind of cool. I love the yarn I'm using, I love the pattern --it's easy to follow-- and moreover your Daddy LOVE the result! He thinks it's AWESOME! And then I would say, "Cool, Dude....", hehehehe ;p

ps : Beanie Pattern can be seen at my Ravelry

Hi Angels.....How is it going? Hopefully everything is fine :)

Mommy doesn't know how old are you when you read this post, but I wanted to share it with you. When you grow up and started to know about Relationship, you must know that relation between two or more of people is not as easy as it seen...or heard.

...Oh, the topic is very touch-y, I'm kind of emotional right now imagining that I'm writing this to my grown up babies... *teary eyes*

Whether is a relationship with friends, colleagues, partners, lovers, or even with siblings. You must remember these two ground rules that Mommy told you...

First, it's a connection between two difference people. Two differences met up is not a-piece-of-cake matter.
Secondly....Never ever-ever never think --moreover try-- to change someone to be like you want them to be....NO NO!! It's a bad thoughts and it's a bad strategy...trust me! No one wants to be forced to change, won't you?!

"So, how-on-earth should we do to make it works, Mommy?". Okay, these are lessons-learnt that I get based on what I've been through ;). The first thing is you must know about your partner. Knows the good sides and the most important is the bad sides of him/her. Identified which differences between the two of you that have the potential to be a problem. Then asked yourself, DO you accept your partner along with his/her minus points? CAN you accept the differences between both of you?..............These two actions need to be done, I personally think so. Because then you know what you're going to be dealing with, you know what you must aware of, and hopefully you know how to react and what actions should be take (^^,)

No sweetpies, I'm not teaching you how to become a soldier ;p I'm just showing you that to have a relationship with someone is like growing a plant. You need to water it proportionally, give it a proportional light, give it a proportional fertilizer, clean it from weeds, and all the necessary care until it blooming and become the most beautiful flower you'll ever see....

......Pretty flower pairs isn't it?! As for a beautiful Relationship your tools are, Tolerance, Appreciation, Love, Care, Respect, Trust, and Commitment (^^,)


And a bunch of Mommy's Kisses to flower up your weekend..... ;* !

Hi Sweetpies....! Happy Halloween...!

First of all, from my deepest heart, my prays for Sandy Storm victims in America. It is the most powerful storm ever happened in US history, and that can definitely seen afterward. But I do believe that the people are tough and unbreakable, and together they'll united hand-in-hand to rebuild again. My faith with my friends there :D.

So...what's goin' on with Mommy this month? There's only 3 posts on October? Well.....I'm still alive, that's for sure ;p . Just kidding Dear, Mommy was just preoccupied by couple of things. But, short conclusion is that October wasn't really my month...hopefully this year only, Amin.

Everybody has problems, big problems or small problems, you will always meet them on the way. And the best way to get rid of it is by facing it. Don't avoid it...don't run from it....you must FACE IT! If you avoid it or run from it and you'll think it's gone.....WRONG!!! You just walk away from it and trust me you'll meet your "old friend" again in no count of time. So, face the problem, find the solution for it, and make sure it bugging no more ;) ! 

Mommy is still here and will always be, don't worry ;).....and I will always watch you, love you, hug you, share with you :* #bunch of kisses

....Mommy!....

I'm still here sweet pies, Mommy is still here....just a little bit distracted ;D. Yup, it's always be one of my weaknesses, to be too concentrate...too focus whenever I learn something new or making something difficult or whatever that's need high attention. And sometimes when I'm on this 'mode' I tend to be Mrs. Cranky...hehehe...bad effect, huh!?

What is it that I'm focusing on? My Knitting Lessons! I'm learning to Knit now! It's not as easy as Crochet, you know...waaay much harder I may say. On crochet, if I made a mistake on my stitches or miss a stitch, I can figure it out easily. But with Knit, a drop stitch means start from the beginning! I'm on my 3rd project now, and still find some difficulties getting through the-after-cast-on rounds/rows. Plus, now I'm trying to make a basic hat using DPN (Double Pointed Needles)....I was so close to change to crochet it instead :p

Well, just a little bit of Mommy's update, I'd better continue my Knit again :). Wish me luck, Angels....Love you :* !
