Knitting with Lady Imana - Knitting Blog
http://ladyimana.weebly.com/knitting-blog.html
Knitting with Lady Imana. Photo grabbed from google images. My father adored Mona Lisa, there was a particular smile and enthusiasm on my father's face whenever he talked about the Mona Lisa portrait. What triggered my father's fondness behind that mystic smile I will never know. But there were times when I see Mona Lisa, it reminded me of of my father's charming smile. After realizing that I can knit illusion knits, I was inspired to knit Mona Lisa in my father's memory. So here is my masterpiece! Exper...

http://www.gantsilyoguru.com/2013/05/back-in-cebu-theres-crochet-of-course.html
A Filipino crocheter's blog. Wednesday, 22 May 2013. There's Crochet, Of Course! This "font string" was made with a chain and slip stitches on both sides of the chain to make it thick. I was in Cebu with friends this past weekend to celebrate the marriage of our friends, Charles and Grace. Don't even ask how we figured out if these were indeed salt rocks - it was a toss up between salt or allum ("tawas" in Tagalog). See the neon lights by the shore forming CBGB? That's the couple's initials! Before leavi...

A Filipino crocheter's blog. Tuesday, 6 November 2012. Went On A Vacation In Bohol.But I Still Crocheted. My mom, brother, and I spent our long weekend in Bohol to celebrate my mom's 59th birthday.

A Filipino crocheter's blog. Monday, 11 March 2013. It's On A Cake! Here's proof that they look even more amazing on a cake (clap clap clap)! I wanted to cry when I saw it on the cake! It's like seeing your own baby after giving birth (although I wouldn't really know exactly how that feels). I was so relieved to see that the size of my dolls and wooden base fit the cake. I was given the dimensions but it was only during the reception that I saw the cake. Glorious! With the cake.and with me! It really loo...

Gantsilyo Guru: It Must Be The Time For Bedspreads
http://www.gantsilyoguru.com/2013/08/it-must-be-time-for-bedspreads.html
A Filipino crocheter's blog. Friday, 9 August 2013. It Must Be The Time For Bedspreads. It's August and I just realized that around the same time last year, I started making the African Flower Bedspread. It's a combination of Cannon and Monaco mercerised cotton yarn. Just single strands. If I chose to make it with double strands, it would have been heavy and chunky. 500 pieces all handmade. I went for the typical white border. It also feels fulfilling when you see the alignment of the spaces in the m...

A Filipino crocheter's blog. Tuesday, 19 March 2013. The Big Reveal 2: Crocheted Arrhae Pouch. Last weekend, my good friends Pao and Chat got married. When I found out about their engagement before, I told Chat to think about what I can crochet for their wedding. I declined when she asked me to crochet her wedding dress :p Just kidding, she didn't ask me to do that (even if she did, I would still refuse to crochet one - it's too hardcore). And here it is! I can't wait to see the official photos! Gantsily...

It's my first crocheted piece in my room (oddly enough)! Another hooray for crochet! I'm so happy that this motif spread finally found its place! View my complete profile.
