I start knitting since 2008 from literally zero. Until now 2014, knitting still one of my biggest passion.
And it's pure because of luck (and God will), a senior designer who live in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, suddenly came to my door and wanted me to make her (she brought her own paper templates and basic figure's sketches), some knittings for her next fashion show. Said fashion show held at 23 April 2014 at one of well-known star hotel in Yogyakarta.
And i was lucky enough can personally took the pictures of my knittings while they be wore by models in catwalk at that time. :)
Happy Knitting!!

Rajut Free Knitting Pattern : Simple Baby pants and boxing mitten
Today I less and less doing knitting 100% from free patterns. But I definitely still seek inspirations from many free patterns that being shared by so many kind knitters out there.
and here i am, knitting a baby pants and baby mitten that inspired from crocheted pieces which had similar form.
And here where i got inspirations from =
short pants = Braided Longies free knitting pattern by Raya Budrevich
I only change the pattern into more simple one by turn the cable part into stockinette and made it into shorts. After i finished the piece, i knit two simple i-cord which then i seamed to both side of the pants to add a nice texture.
This mitten already had an interesting shape. But thank God, I kind of person who like to see the samples of finished project when i browse a pattern on Ravelry, there i found one thumb modification of this pattern! And yes this modification is not written by the creator for you to read, but you can recreate it by see her progress photo.
Overall, you have to be an intermediate knitter to knit these patterns. Either for follow it as the pattern wrote it, or to doing your modification as i did. But, just dare yourself I think ;)

Knitting with Ajeng : Stranded Christmas Stocking Pattern
I made this Christmas stocking knitting pattern, inspired from [this] beautiful free knitting pattern.
For the motives, i took from my library collections of stranded-knitting projects.
Pattern :
You can download the pattern here: [ Stranded Christmas Stocking ] or access it through my ravelry page here and let's knit this fun knitting pattern with me. :)
For the motives, i took from my library collections of stranded-knitting projects.
- Skill needed : know basic knitting, work in round a small circular project, follow stranded knitting chart, pick up and knit
- Abreviations : DPN = Double Pointed Needle, CO = cast on, sts = stitch, stst = stockinette = knit all round, SSK = slip, slip, knit, K2Tog = knit 2 stitch together, kitchener stitch = seaming 2 part of life stitch together. (you can see how to do it [here] or by browse at google and youtube)
- Material : any yarn that suitable for 4 mm DPN (see your yarn label) - Tips : You can use left over of your last project. I only need about 50gr of Red and 50gr of Green also a tiny bit of White SP Poyeng to made 3 socks!
- Needle : set of 5 DPN 4 mm or use 23 cm circular needle 4 mm (one of some brand that made this size of circular is Clover)
- Gauge : not so important since this is a home decoration
- Finished size : mine were about 20 cm height from top edge to heels.

Book Review : 30~Minute Knits
Recently i had to made a mini workshop for new knitter in several occasions.
Thinking to knitting something that can be finished in about 2 hour was very difficult. In fact, i'm still thinking about it until this moment.
I accidentally own this book. But after i have it at my bookshelf, it turn out to be one book that i usually open for inspiration!
First, of course when i seeking something that can knit fast before i made mini workshop.. I usually end up make a slight change at every pattern that i choose to try. I don't know why, i just can't help it. :p
Second, when i (for myself) seeking something that i can knit fast for last-minute gift.
The projects are sweets and truly can be knitted in 30 minutes... for me of course, or if you already know about knitting basic before. But if you are a new knitter who never touch knitting before, you will not finish any of these patterns before 3 hour, even the simplest pattern. It simply because you had to taught them about basic knitting first and made them understand and memorize it before they can started knit from a knitting pattern. And of course, it can't be done in half of an hour.
But for me, this book really help to choose some little knitting inspirations. :)
Happy Knitting!!
