It’s the year of the pig, so I made this crochet piggy to celebrate the Chinese New Year! If you are interested in making one in time for Chinese New Year, you can get it from my shop!
My goal is to make a Chinese zodiac pattern each year. I’ve started that in year 2016 (year of the monkey), unfortunately, I missed last year, but I will have the dog pattern done sometimes this year to make it up!

It’s already November and Christmas will be here soon! It’s time to think about buying presents for your friends and family, but wait, don’t you want to give your loved ones something special, perhaps something that’s made by you? What’s better than making a pair of fingerless mittens? My pattern is simple, quick and easy to make, and it covers sizes for both men and women. I’ve also included instruction for both double-point needles and straight needles. This is the perfect pattern for you!

I’ve been wanting to make a sock monkey for the longest time, but I had been waiting for the perfect pair of socks. Over the weekend, when I was shopping at the dollar store, I spotted this pair of socks, and I was like “wow, this is the one!”. It was cheap and it has the perfect pattern and color. I bought the pair of socks, and the moment I got home, I started to make my sock monkey.
I follow the instruction here, and TA-DA……
HERE COMES MY AWESOME SOCK MONKEY!!
While I was at the dollar store, I saw a few more pair of socks that I like, so I bought them all, and I am planning to make more sock plushies – sock elephant, sock bear and sock lion etc.~
It will probably take me some time to get to those, but I can’t wait to see my own collection of sock plushies :p

Winter is approaching, and it’ time to knit for warmth again!
I had been holding back going to Michaels for a while because every time I go, I can spend a lot buying something new. I already have TONs of yarns and MANY ongoing projects, and I am running out of money and out of space, BUT winter is coming, so um… I guess I just have to go look at yarns. 🙂
So this year, I went to Michaels and the Caron Cake yarn really caught my attention.
The Caron Cake yarn has multiple colors within a ball where the same color runs very long before it changes to another color, so it creates stripes of colors for a project without having to change to another yarn and weave in ends. Also, it is important to note that it has 20% wool in this. It just make things that much warmer. So what I did with this Caron Cake yarn I bought was make some quick and simple hats. I was able to make three hats from it, all looking very awesome and unique with their own special sequence of colors.
These hats shown above are being sold in my shop, and I will be making more hats and putting them up for sale, but if you want to make your own, I have written down the pattern and you can find it in my “Free Patterns” section under the “Hats” category.

I have created a series of crochet sushi cats back in December when I had my first holiday market and was planning to write out my patterns then, but I had been too busy with work, new projects and vacations etc., that I couldn’t set aside any time to finish writing out my patterns.
FINALLY, I had no special plans this long weekend, and I have finalize one of my patterns (see below for this happy looking onigiri sushi cat 🙂 ).
If you want to make one or a bunch of them, please visit my shop and you can purchase the pattern there!
And I will find some time to finalize my other patterns soon!

This is what I made last weekend because my son requested it. Not so confident about this one, I was making it as I go, but my little one seems to like it, so I guess it’s fine. Maybe, just maybe…. if I have the time, I will try make a better one and write out the pattern.
Oh. And I just notice, it’s missing the sword. I guess that’s this week’s project…

My first pair of crochet Converse!
I’ve always wanted to make a pair and finally got a chance to make this as a gift. I didn’t write out a pattern this time because my pair of crochet Converse was based on different patterns I found on the internet. I was taking out bits and pieces from different patterns depending on my likes as I crochet. However, I do found this video very helpful. If you wanted to crochet a pair of Converse, this is definitely a video you should look at!

I had been looking around the internet for the past few weeks to look for the perfect rose pattern to crochet. I wanted to make some roses in time for Valentine’s day ♥ ! There are plenty of good patterns out there, but there were several criteria that I was looking for – like using worst weight yarn, having pointy pedals and making one where I don’t have to crochet the leaves separately. Yes, I am a little picky, so I ended up looking through different patterns and came up with my own. The pattern for the roses you see in the picture is now up on my free pattern section. If you want to make something quick and pretty, either as a gift or for yourself, this is definitely a great project to make! 🙂
