Yet another special date. It's a Friday night and I'm looking forward to the weekend after a long week at work. I've picked up a new hobby of crocheting. My colleague, Kim Malone was crocheting a scarf when I asked her to demonstrate the steps. She then told me to try it out as I told her I hadn't done it in years. My mum was very good at it and she made dresses, tops, table cloths etc. I still remember one of my favourite dresses she did for me. It was a red spaghetti strap mini dress which I used to wear to kindy sometimes. It made me feel special, pretty and very girly as everyone would heap praises. As I grew older, Mum taught me some of the basic patterns. I must have been 8 years old or so. Sadly, I don't remember creating anything noteworthy.

I was pretty delighted I could still do a chain after more than 15 years of not touching the crochet needle. Seeing my delight, Kim bought a bag of yarn and gave it to me to get me started. I then went to buy a size 4mm crochet needle from Lincraft. So now, I'm glued to crocheting my first scarf. Hopefully I'll finish it soon :)
