Crochet Rose

Is the last day of the year so I thought to make the last blog before a fresh start of the year.

I'm going to show the process on how I did the crochet rose which is in 3D. At the end of it, u are able to add a pun as brooch or glue to a clip to wear it as hair clip.

First u make a slip notch ready for crochet, then chain 50.
After which make a slip notch, turn and make single crochet throughout on each chain.
Coming to third row, slip notch, single crochet on the first stitch, then skip one stitch, and do seven single crochet on the same stitch to make a "scallop" then skip one stitch to make a single crochet. Keep repeat it to the end of the row. You should be having 12 "scallop".
On the fourth row. We going to increase the size of 6 "scallop" as it will be the outer petals. So here we go by doing single crochet on the next two stitch, two single crochet on each stitches for the next 3 loop. Follow by single crochet and a slip notch. Keep repeating it for the next 5 scallop. End with a slip notch, and left a tail about 5inches.

You should be getting something like this 

Once u are done, u are ready to stitch them together to form the rose.

Twist it around to form the flower shape

Sewing the inner petals shape using the starting yarn

Slip the yarn thru to the bottom for the ending point yarn

The most outer layer had a rough gauge on how you want to position it

Reminiscence of 2011 and Resolution for 2012

Almost coming to end of 2011, reflecting what I had done for the whole year... hmmmm...

I got myself upgrade into marriage status. Shifted from my cozy dog room to a share room with my hubby. Although still staying in the same area, but somehow still not really use to it. As no one making meals for me when I'm hungry. But one thing good is, I got a toilet attach to my room... haha that is what I had been dream of.

This year, I also started blogging. Kind of lack in writing as very often I say I wanted to record what I had been doing. But it is always nice to kick start back on blogging. And from my blog, you can see I start doing more crafts work. Which I use to love it, but stop doing due to busy work schedule.


Well, I also got my promotion to Senior Customer Account Engineer this year. Happy for myself as it shows that hard work will have fruitful returns. Only thing bad is I not paid to the market rate. But is okay, I enjoy working here due to my nice colleagues and get to learn lots of things which I don't think I will had a chance to get to touch on.

Also I join the People Associate (PA) volunteer sub-group @ Admiralty Gardern CC under Womens' Executive Committee (WEC). This is where I had fun, joining group doing fun stuff to the community. Will get to involve more in it and enjoy.

2012 Resolution:

1. I need to do more blogging, at least twice a week
2. Be a more organise person, stop messing up place.
3. Have a new refresh look to start with and stop slacking.
4. Must push myself to work out at least once a week. (Being too lazy the whole year)
5. Trying to get a dragon baby.

Okay that all for it. 5 goals are more than enough to make me struggle... I seriously must work hard on it. Doing is easy, maintaining is hard.

Give me the strength !!!

I Can Do It
