Hello! Happy 2012! It’s been a while since my last post! (1 month short of a year 
)
Chinese New Year is just around the corner (next Monday) and 2012 will be the year of the Dragon. CNY is my favourite holiday! I love the celebrations. My relatives will all gather at my home on the first day of CNY and we will have a big feast! It’s always so fun!
I’ve been getting the CNY decorations on, shopped for some stuff at Chinatown last night in the very hot and humid Singapore weather!
And I’ve made some decorations too!
here are my little ang pow fishies on the wall! I got the tutorial from here!
I hope in the new year, I will be a little craftier than I was in 2011.
Gong xi fa cai everyone! Happy New Year!
Free Pattern: Oreo Cookie Tape Measure February 18, 2011
Posted by misscraftyfingers in Crochet, Free Pattern.4 comments
super easy!
cookies, make 2 with worsted weight yarn
6 sc into magic ring, join
ch 1, 2 sc in each sc, join
ch 1, *1sc in next sc, 2sc in each sc*, repeat * to * till end, join
ch 1, *1sc in next 2 sc, 2sc in next sc*, repeat * to * till end, join
ch 1, *1sc in next 3 sc, 2sc in next sc*, repeat * to * till end, join
(you can increase until the size is big enough for your tape measure)
weave in ends
white cream centre
placing the tape measure (the kind which is retractable) between the 2 pieces of brown circles. Sew the 2 pieces together with white yarn (in my case, i used fleece) at the edges. The stitches should be rather loose the first round. Stitch it up somemore to make the “cream filling” thicker. Leave a gap for the tape measure. i sewed the fleece onto the tab for the tape measure as there was a hole on the tab. if not, you can glue it on or something.
and there you go! a oreo cookie tape measure!
colours can be changed to suit your preference. A cream sandwich with raspberry top would be yummy! or make it in light brown and make little french knots in dark brown for choco chip cookies!

WIP & New Ami! January 2, 2011
Posted by misscraftyfingers in Crafts.add a comment
I am working on a knit raglan cardigan currently. As with bigger projects, unless the pattern is intricate or keep changing, it gets pretty monotonous.
The cardigan is coming along pretty nicely I think! not shy. heh.
So anyway, to break the monotony of the knit & purl stitches, I’ve been making amigurumis. Yesterday, the bunny. Today, the sleepy lamby! Isn’t he the cutest thing? I got the pattern free from here.
Back to knit & purl. Have a great day!
