        KNITTING MY WORRIES AWAY

I Love reading down to earth blog and often come across her promoting to knit the dishcloth...back here in Malaysia..it is uncommon for us to knit our dishcloth..we would just buy or use old towel and cut into small sizes...
Therefore i find it interesting as my ragcloth or "kain buruk"(kain=cloth,buruk=old)is in its expiry stage and need to be replaced...
As knitting is new to me,,to avoid frustration if i have to keep on undoing my work..i finally decided to embark on a mini project which is the...DISH CLOTH..of course..
I know there are lots of mistakes there but i just dont  have   the patience   to undo it what with my cough and other things which need to be done....
one ball of yarn can produce 2 of the kind i reckon...
just to show how "miniature" my project is....
just to show what we in Malaysia do with used plastic bottles..the workers at the Rest and Refresh stop along the northsouth expressway are so creative to come up with this idea to build a miniature size of the twin tower in Kuala lumpur...that was during our national day...
and thats another one....also from plastic bottles but painted to resemble the flower's petal...

  1. I`m also an avid reader of Rhonda`s blog. I used to make crochet dish cloths a few years ago and still use them to this day. Mine were made from bamboo yarns.
    I love the ideas for the recycling of plastic bottles!

    1. Hello there ! Tq for the inspiring comment...not quite a great finishing but knitting with cotton yarn is quite tricky as it is not flexible like the wool or acrylic ones..that explains the tiny gaps here and there and the texture of yarn is irregular with knots here n there..i did quite ok..didnt i?tq 4 the support...stopknitting 4 a while due to some reasons...but will continue later on..will definitely put up the photos here...till then..have a wonderful weekend
