My New Crochet Hook Set


Tired with my same ol' steel crochet hook I decided to buy another one. I've never buy crochet stuff online so I'm pretty surprised that there are a lot of local online shop that sells crochet and knitting stuff. Noted some of those stuff are a bit heavy on the price side especially for the soft and ergonomic crochet hook.

After looking here and there I finally found an online shop that sells more affordable crochet hook. I bought this crochet hook set for $7.5 (IDR 75K) which is more affordable than the other crochet hook set. There are 7 hook in 1 set from 2mm until 5mm.

Cochet Hook Set


After waiting for about 2 days the package come and I'm pretty satisfied with it. It has a nice grip and quite slippery with yarn which make it faster to crochet.

My New Laptop Mouse

Front

I've been wanting to buy a new mouse but never had a time to do it and every time I do I'm not interested in any that I've seen. I don't like a big mouse with a long usb cable but the smaller one has push-pull usb cable that I have since it often get tangled and ugly. Some of the mouse are cute but they are pretty expensive. After searching here and there I found this mouse at Jakarta Notebook online shop at $2 (IDR 20.000), after pondering about it since the shipping fee is $1.2 (IDR 12.000) which is more than half the price of the mouse itself I decided to buy this one.

When the package come I'm glad that I buy it since it exactly what I need. The size is pretty small but fits with my hand, it doesn't have a push-pull usb cable but rather you roll the cable around the mouse and tug the usb at the back side of the mouse. Perfect!!

Crochet Star Amigurumi


Even though I have a deadline for a 10 pages paper tomorrow I still make time to make this cute star amigurumi, no worries the paper is already finished. I'm making this star while watching TV. There are two parts of this amigurumi and both of them are made in continuous round and join by sewing. I fill this star as I sew with fiberfill, and the eyes are made from felt fabric which I glued to the star. I made the leftover yarn longer so I can hang this star somewhere. (I haven't think where I will put it yet...)

You can see this star patter at marte's blog.

This is where I got interested in making a light bulb amigurumi and when I saw Despicable Me where Gru always mention "Light Bulb!!" every time he had an evil idea I'm more determined in making it. I found this light bulb pattern on Crochet Spot and I've been hooked on her blog. She gives a very easy to understand instruction and has some neat trick too!!

Maybe because the eyes?!?!
