I bought these yarn when I was in Brazil. If you look closer, it’s not like the typical yarn. These ones are ‘wriggly’ … so I’m hoping it will have a different texture and looks when I finish knitting them. I’m going to use it to knit a skinny scarf.
I love how it has different colours as well. Winter is so grey and gloomy in UK. A little dash of colours in my outfit hopefully will elevate my mood!
I’ve finished knitting my scarf!! So happy with it. It’s a normal knit with no fancy pattern. What’s special with this scarf is the yarn. Bought the yarn in KL.. quite ex.. but it has different texture and it is black and blue. The effect on the final knit is quite unusual. Dav thinks that it’s not ‘messy’ enough… what do you think?

I spent majority of the time this weekend cleaning… it started on Friday night, after dinner where clean my kitchen stove, vacuumed and mop the floor, change the pillow & bed sheet and wash them. Then Saturday, I re-organized my bedside cabinet. Today I clean the bathroom and did 2 rounds of laundry. Yes, I do have a thing for cleaning….
Anyway, as I was putting all my knitting ‘things’ together I realised I have bought and accumulated quite a bit of yarn and needles and knitting tools. I decided to take a picture of all the thing I got over the last few months.
I have
- 4 sets of knitting needles. All in different sizes.
- 1 crochet needle. I want to explore crochet when I’m bored with knitting.
- a row counter to assists with counting the number of rows I have knitted. It’s the orange little thing on the needle.
- 2 yarn needles.
- a measurement tape.
- 5 different types of yarn in various colours. Btw, it is expensive to buy yarns in Malaysia!!
My next few projects includes:
- knitting a gloves for Dav.
- knitting a pair of pink sock for myself.
- learn how to make a crochet scarf.
It’s done!! Can’t believe it’s so simple to knit this. Instructions courtesy of YouTube.
What do you think?
Ta-da!!

I got the instructions from youtube.. there’s no instructions on my book for fingerless gloves. Unfortunately this is only a ‘mini’ success before the measurement is wrong! I was using a smaller yarn. So, mine became a ‘mini’ fingerless gloves. Well, at least I know that it works, I can start knitting one in bigger size… yipee!
Front view. It could only fit Dav’s 3 fingers. As you can see, this gloves involves learning how to knit different stitch.. thus the design. But it’s not very neat.. so at certain part of the gloves, it looks funny.
