As you know, knitting/crocheting is now become my new hobby. Though it seems like grandmother activity or anything, I don't care. I just enjoy knitting to fill my "waiting" time, every where, every time. I always bring yarns and the hakken pen in my bag. So, when I feel bored, I just doing it, and... Voila! Here comes any creations. Some of it can be useful but some of them are only ended in my knit bag. Hahaha...

Knitting Fever
Hahaha… really, this crafting activity is seemed so so so granny! LOL.
Few months ago, I asked my mother to teach me knitting. Why?Yes, these things (look picture below). A cute headband! Suddenly, I have a strong motivation to learn knitting. Besides, I already interested with knitted stuffs before, really! :)

So, here I am, become lazy to do anything but knitting. Everytime, everywhere, it saved me from boredom and even motion sickness in flight (can you believe that? I already proofed it!). When I knit, I forget everything, my problems with love and also the deathly final project. After I finish one form, I desire to learn the other more difficult form, I enjoy it much!!!
Oke, below are some of my knitting creations. Hehehe... if it is not too good to look, I'm still a newbie (excuseee!)

Tough Life Lately
Hay, how are you, people? Always always wishing you are all okay :)
Aku sendiri sedang sangat tidak oke akhir-akhir ini. Banyak hal yang membuat hari-hariku terasa berat. Yahh…, selain kepulangan orangtuaku dari haji (jelas seneng, dapet banyak oleh-oleh dan doa, hehehe).
First, since the final project still walking slowly on progress, I am being frustrated by it, like a nightmare on sunny day! Deep inside, there is a very strong desire to finish it, but when I face this electronic stuff called notebook laptop, I feel like suddenly I lost all ideas that came up flying inside my mind. Hh… I tried so hard to gather my mood to finish them so soon. I plan to have the presentation in December. I HAVE TO MAKE IT, IT’S A MUST!
It feels really not good when you want to finish some tasks but, in fact, you don’t even get the mood to do that. And it happens to my TA (tugas akhir/final project assignment). Padahal, apa susahnya sih nulis revisian yang udah jelas-jelas dikasih pengarahannya sama dosen? (asking myself) Jadi teringat juga SMSan sama adiknya sahabatku, kata dosennya, “Sebenarnya TA-mu ini mudah, asal kamu mau berpikir sederhana,” begitu kira-kira. Huff… (menghela napas panjang). Berasa déjà vu, dulu dosenku sendiri juga pernah bilang begitu, yang lebih jleb-nya lagi, beliau bilang, “Lha kamu itu hal yang gampang dipikir ribet sih,”. Dhezz, sepertinya aku mulai kembali ke titik awal lagi, waktu aku mati ide lagi, mau menyerah lagi. Rasanya setelah pra-pendadaran itu kok malah semangatku mengendur, bukannya makin semangat. I deeply going down to my lowest spirit…
Dan akhirnya aku bener-bener menyerah. Dengan mengorbankan segala gengsi dan harga diri (halah), aku mengirim SMS ke dosen pembimbingku, “Pak, kapan Bapak ada waktu untuk konsultasi? Saya kesulitan untuk menyelesaikan revisi TA saya,” SENT. Untungnya si Bapak berbaik hati, atau mungkin kasian baca SMSku yang melas itu, langsung dibales (tumben-tumbennya lho!), “Oke, besuk pagi jam 8 ya,” huff (menghela napas lagi) kali ini aku ngadep dosen dengan tidak membawa kemajuan apa-apa, ya sudah lah, yang penting ada niatan yang baik untuk segera menyelesaikan benang kusut ini.
Honestly, aku pengen banget cepet selesai, banyak hal yang kuagendakan akan kulakukan setelah semua kekisruhan ini kelar. Bukan formal job, bukan proyek dosen, bukan proyek temen juga, but my personal projects and plan, salah duanya adalah jalan-jalan dan kuliah S2 di ITB. Hahaha… Semangat ya, kucing pink… makanya jangan males-malesan terus, walaupun udara emang enak buat dipake tidur! Wake up, girl! Oke, janjiannya tanggal 13 ini kami mau bertemu lagi, kemarin sudah liburan seminggu buat menjemput papa-mama dan menghabiskan waktu dengan mereka, sekarang ayo mulai lagi,
set the fire!!!
Tiga minggu kemarin, bener-bener nggak ngerti deh aku ngapain aja. Yang jelas, aku menjadi full-time housesister, yes, kakak rumah tangga! Sendiri bersama 3 ekor adik (satu adikku sendiri, 2 sepupu) yang semuanya sedang ditinggal ortunya pergi. Praktis aku sebagai kakak tertua yang mengurus segala kebutuhan rumah tangga, mulai dari kebersihan rumah, masak, sampai ngawasin jam pulang adik-adikku. Tapi kalo soal yang masak sih… aku emang suka, jadi ya nggak jadi beban juga, wong seneng. Apalagi aku akhirnya bisa juga masak rawon (walaupun pake bumbu jadi ditambah tanaman-tanaman lain seperti sereh, bawang merah, daun jeruk, daun salam dan laos). Juga bisa bikin kolak labu sendiri tanpa petunjuk mama, dan kata temenku sih enak (nggak tau deh dia bilangnya beneran atau buat menghibur, yang jelas, there was no one poisoned by my cooking :D). Yah, aku pikir nggak jelek juga jadi kakak rumah tangga, tapi lama-lama aku bisa gemuk juga kalo kaya gini terus. Hahahhaha!!!
Salah satu kegiatan yang (sebenernya) asik tapi kata adikku bikin aku keranjingan dan males ngapa-ngapain adalah… merajut! Yes, can you believe that a tomboy girl like me loves knitting? I bet you couldn’t believe it! Hahaha… Yup, rasanya kaya kesetanan aja kalau udah ngerajut. Oke oke, biar kuluruskan dulu, aku merajut pake metode hakken ya, bukan breien (simbah-simbah banget kalo ini, dan aku juga belum bisa). Hihihi… lumayan juga sekarang sudah bisa bikin bentuk-bentuk yang bisa dipake (bros, kalung, tatakan gelas) walaupun bentuknya masih berantakan /gg
“How’s your love life, Tid?” my friend ask me in her PM.
Yes, I have just found out that some friends are curious about my love life. Entahlah, padahal akhir-akhir ini aku menjalaninya biasa saja. Nothing special about my love life. Beberapa orang sampai mengira aku kapok jatuh cinta karena beberapa kali endingnya nggak bahagia. Anda salah, saudara-saudara! Aku hanya memberi waktu untuk diriku sendiri berproses pelan-pelan. Dan lagi, aku masih bisa jatuh cinta. And I already in love. But certain circumstances do not allowed me to explicitly exposing who’s Mr.Crush is, I’ll tell you later. Kali ini, aku lebih ingin memberi cinta buat dia, walaupun aku tau itu akan sangat sulit, karena aku sendiri seringkali nggak bisa mengendalikan diri untuk nggak berekspektasi macam-macam sama dia, tapi mau gimana lagi, kadang perasaan susah diatur, setan kecil itu selalu muncul sekalipun aku sedang jatuh cinta. Dan ternyata di semua kisah cintaku, kangen adalah hal yang paling menyiksa, kadang pengen banget ketemu, tapi nggak bisa, dan itu membuatku gelibak-gelibek di kasur kayak ikan ditaruh di darat. Rasanya mau bilang sama dia “Aku kangen,” tapi kok gengsi ya. Kalau kata temenku, aku seperti anak SMP aja, padahal umurku sudah 23, masih jadi mahasiswa pula.
Yes, he’s really special for me. I try to do the best for him. Persoalan dia bakal menyambut perasaanku ini atau nggak, mungkin hanya waktu dan Allah yang bisa menjawab. I really love this man, but the fate is Yours, I just follow what my heart says… to love someone, and someday be loved in return. Wish me luck in this journey, friends!
"The greatest thing
You'll ever learn
Is just to love and
Be loved in return"

Good night everyone!
PS: buat yang tadi minta fotoku pake kerudung pashmina, monggo dipun pirsa:)

Knitted Onion Head Hat
Yay yay! This is my first post about my knitting learning activities (I had mentioned it before in the quick note). And yeah, until now I can only make some bracelets from simple crochet, and then I got bored. Accidentally, yesterday I found a book of knitted food replica, the examples were so cute and I suddenly in love (or curious?) again with knitting! ~♥
Then I try from the very simple single crochet to make a round form. It wasn’t easy, but I tried. And this morning, I actually wanted to try making an onion shape, but it seems to be failed…(T_T). But I see the failed form looks like a hat, I looked for a human like doll, I found this girl. And you know what, it fitted to her head!!! She looks so cute in that hat. Hore!
I'm so excited to took picture of her, here we go!!





Looks like she played in the nature...
