Knitting

i remember an sms exchanged with a dear friend..it was something like...

*tak sangka simah yg brutal boleh mengait!*

hahahahahahah Yup! believe it friend! hahaha it never cross my mind either!

But after the death of the family wool knitter (Anne..my late mom in law-Al fatihah)..it left me with this sense of emptiness. I was panicked. Who will knit sweaters in winter for my kids?? I was panicked. I had always taken it for granted that Anne would be alive forever..and that at least until my kids r all grown up, i would be depending on her.. Her sudden death left a lot of void in everyone's heart..and can u imagine? in that sadness.. next to the fact of losing someone so dear.. i was thinking who would knit sweaters for my kids?????? How crazy is that???

I was panicked.. i asked Mahture Yenge's help to teach me the art of knitting..Before that, i had never hold the wool or that long two thing (what do they call that in english) to knit.. never..It took me ages..countless trips to the second floor to ask yenge on how to do the simple knitting.. Muyessa Yenge was also a big help..whenever Mahture Yenge was not around.. i could always count on Muyessa Yenge for help.. And later..Özlem's mom also came into picture as one of my knitting teachers..

I somehow learnt.. but not really.. i learnt different patterns..n i kept ..keep forgetting them everytime that ..if i wanna knit something..a pattern..i have to ask yenge to show me how..yeah.. i have got badddddd memory.. my knitting quality is far far from perfect.. i cannot knit perfectly like all my 3 teachers.. trust me... if they look at my knitting in detail..they will find loads of flaw..they (esp mahture Yenge hehehe) had even ask me to undo my knitting many times hahahha.. what can i say? i cannot sit for a longggggg time in one go to do the knitting.. i just dont have the talent for this knitting thing.. n to produce a sweater for example..it can take me months!!! Yup! i am that bad!!

Why not safe the effort and time n just buy the ready made ones? Well..that is a good option..w do buy ready made ones..but while the kids r still small.. i want them to wear something i knit myself..no matter how not nice they look like.....Winter is here.. i have to start knitting again..Something i started ages ago.... hatice's own choice of color is almost finished.. i need to buy the button n then she can wear it... it has a design at the middle part but i think the camera cannot catch that pattern here.. the butterfly is the iron on thing..

Baddin's decoration of his cat n my wolf

Yup!! it is PİNK!! hahahaha

Baddin is waiting for his turn now.. after his long sleeves sweater..i have to knit the short sleeves one for both of them.. but before that..i may need to knit the socks (patik).. very useful indeed esp in cold winter to protect their feel from cold while sleeping..wish me luck!!

Have A nice Weekend EVerybody!
