Discount! Discount!

I am planning to sell my wool yarns at 300pesos per 100g. but some people are already ordering the yarns even its not yet posted on the store.
So I told them that I am selling the 100g wool yarn at 250 pesos :) for the first five customers. :D

Funny how some friends are also excited about the wool yarns

Just now, my red wool yarns are going to be out of stock already. sigh…

I am excited to try felting.

Wow. I never thought it will be possible for me to try felting. Now I have my wool yarns and I have been searching for google images of felted crochet projects.
The search results already make me want to go home and try em. But I am just afraid to try. I think felting is a irreversible process.
If done wrong, i have ruined the yarn and itss not cheap.
Sigh. here are some of the felted crochet i’ve seen on Google Search Result:

This felted flower can be applied as additional ensemble to many different projects. Like the felted bag below.

I want to try making crocheted accessories again! :D sigh…

This is a small version of the ribbed hexagonal beret (pattern available at the store) I just added a few more rows to allow insertion of an adjustable ribbon. Just in case this will not fit my niece’s head. :D

Do not sleep with crocheted clothes on.

Me and my friends., together with mike ate at a filipino inspired restaurant near our place. I was wearing the pyschedelic shell top then. when we went home, i did my usual thing –> crocheting, and I kinda forgot that it’s not good to fell asleep with ur crocheted clothes on.

Incoming: Wool Yarns for 2.0mm Hook

Wool Yarns

Wool Yarns

After a lot of trouble finding possible suppliers then finding a friend who helped me with the yarn shipment, I got my first wool yarn supply in the country.

These yarns are 90% sheep wool and comes in a variety of colors. I ordered a single stranded yarn that can be used for 2.0mm hook. SInce i know that wool clothing areĀ  a bit warm, I just considered buying not-so bulky yarn weight. If in case someone wants bulkier ones, I could just wind two (or three) strands into a ball :)

The yarns can be felted. (YE!) and dyed. :) So in the high hopes that people will be interested trying crocheting and knitting wool , we got our supplies in the store. The stocks will be updated as soon as next week once I get the package at my doorsteps. Right now, just too busy writing codes for my development project and just too excited waiting for a baby to be delivered :) .

To peach, aja! aja!

I will sell them at 100g per ball. I just have to wait for my ball winder to arrive :)

Getting better

mike says i am good at making clothes. he actually seldom compliments me (sincerely). well i noticed that i get better at crocheting. or as what bes commented that my stitches are cleaner and nicer than those i made before. Maybe commercializing my merchandise does the trick. When I used to crochet clothes for myself, i don’t care if my stitches are loose. Coz they’d just be for me :) and I prefer them that way. Now, i am forced to really make them beautiful. not just seemingly beautiful. Coz, I put a price on them now.. And the price should be justified. I put more effort on the design. And I am counting my stitches now.

Tita Nelia

This is tita nelia, my fiance’s mother. Once she asked me to make her a bolero and I made a version of bongga bolero – biggie sized. Tita nelia, actually loved what i made for her. This is the first big bolero I made. I used a lace-weight yarn using 1.40mm hook size. It took me so long to finish this, just in time for her return to the country.
