long time ago, while preggie with ken..

i actually knitted this sweater for him.. amazing.. til today i find it amazing.. or more like.. "HUH? what went into my head then?!".. trust me, it's not easy.. but after having spent a bomb on the wools and needle, i was forced to complete the project.. and for this little piece, i actually took almost 6mths! i was so afraid i can't finish before i labor ken, that i actually pleaded to the shop lady to help me to knit.. but of cos she wun.. the shop lady will teach u how to knit.. u can come as many times as u want to the shop.. all u need to do is to buy wools from them.. so, for the longest time, i'm so sick of knit and purl, knit and purl.. and it din't help one bit that i'm as blind as i'm deaf.. i can't see issit a knit i'm suppose to do now, or issit a purl i shd do.. so, i gasak-ed.. as a result, one side of the sleeve was knitted wrongly!! whole sleeve!! the lady just pull the wool like nobody business and ask me to start all over again!! NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!!!

but thinking back it was hilarious.. as, i went to the shop once a week.. and i will meet a few "regulars".. and they went on to like complete sweaters after sweaters except me.. they always burst out laughing cos i'm still at ken's TINY sweater.. and those they did was for adults and pattern pattern type.. got holes and lacey like patterns and what nots.. was so embarassing.. anyway, finally ken managed to fit in! trust me.. blame it on my hormones! if i'm sane, knitting will be the VERY last thing i wd even attempt..

Luckily I still know what is called... store bought sweaters. I simply refuse to knit anything. So expensive!
