holiday!!

HAPPY HOLIDAY to you all ..

I am going to Japan and Singapore, from Dec 27 - Jan 10.. will try to posting if possible..;)

Have great time, and I will trying to do some knitting too!! :)

carousel squares

it's been a while.... the raining season already started, and with temperature become getting cooler, even it's not as low like 4-seasons country, it's quiet chilling for us here... and see the nice afghans.. make me want to make some granny square afghan, not really a granny square though. the patterns is from Pricillia Hewitt - Carousel Squares:

i already started with yarn from orion top - the acrylic yarn type - any knitter or crocheter from singapore or malaysia also familiar with this brand ..;) and for my square, the square would be solid color for each sq

the colors i choose are dark grey, indigo blue and dark red, have crocheted 6 squares of dark grey, 1 of indigo blue and would start with the dark red.
using #4 tulip steel crochet hook, each square is about 10 cm or about 4 inch.
i haven't decide how big the each small block, either 3x3 or 5x5... and still designing the color combination layout.

the other color combination are off-white, cream and dark brown color... but these would be for different square motif...perhaps the classice granny square or the fisherman's (still from pricillia hewitt's) like this :

(same reason - wait until the dial up speed back normal)

this orion yarn, even it's acrylic, it feels like wool, probably would not shrink, surely will bit melted if i put hot iron on it..he, expect the color would bleed for deep dark colors like indigo blue and dark red.

about the pink sweater, finally i frogging the sleeve, start with the right sleeve, making some adjustment on increasing and decreasing rows... i put this project down for a while, and prefer to work the carousel square.

ply or not plying? how to ?

my stash is growing.
few months ago i made some purchase on ebay for " some" yarns, it takes couple weeks to reach to singapore, to my sis address, since i am not sure how long it will take and the whether it will safely arrive to me via our post office here.. not to be underestimate but i am not going to sacrifice my yarns...so it addressed to my sis address.

1. the chenille -> 2 cones (the one in the middle, each is around 2 lbs is i am not mistaken)

2. crochet thread -> 1 cones (1 lb, the most left)

3. the crochet metallic skein -> huge skein!!! (the one in front, the skein weight is around 2 lbs)


the chenille are ok, but quite dissapointed with the crochet thread and the ... (3) , sinc the crochet thread is not much different with thread that we usually using for sewing or machine embroidery!!!! and the (3), i have lots of questions:

1. how i winding this huuuggeee hanks into skeins/balls.... see.. you can see how big the skein is..

2. since it so much like a thread when you touch the ply, i am thinking to ply this, but how? is it necessary? i really appreaciated if you can tell me what i should do with these crochet thread and (3), but return to the seller would be not an option considering the shipping cost.

then my sis went to HK for holiday with her hubby, and without doubt, she knew that the souvenir for me (we called here... oleh-oleh)... would be yarn, and this was what they picked for me.

she bought at one of night market (she didn't remember the name) , there's no label or any info for this yarn, for you, who read my blog, if you familiar with this yarn, could you tell me any info like the materials (it's like acrylic-woll when i touched)

i love the textures, it's pale pink, and i have 5 balls... each about 500 grams/1 kilo and do not have any idea at this moment, should it be sweater, vest, afghan, shawl or ... any suggestion please?

experiments on granny squares

with lots of things in my plan to do list, i choose to picked up the pink sweater... and knitted slowly, finished the sleeves and put it all together...

but i still have things on my minds...guess my hands used to be in crocheting like crazy for few days and it still on my brain or is it a post crochet syndrome ? :p so, i kept thinking about crocheting... but i dont want to picked up my 3 color cardigan.. i want something else.. greedy...:p

finally i found something i can make an excuse for crochet new stuff... the couch imitation leather starting to dried out and cracking..it's uncomfortable on skin, and those are appearing on fave spot...so i am thinking a cover, on granny square... using a cotton twine, the color would be something white and something colorful.. and i decided something blue.... so i dyed some yarn on this cotton twine.



see, the dyed turned out quite different between acrylic and cotton.. it's resulted as lovely soft blue color with hint of white on cotton, and see how bright the color on acrylic thread. i dyed 4 balls .. guess it would be enaugh.

the cotton twine is quite thick, see how the ball still standing up even i almost finish with this one.....



and the assembly methode i will use would the whipstitch, the one that use needle instead of single crochet.

i also made another motif of granny square, and thinking to make an afghan from it.. color is dark grey, indigo blue and dark red (almost marron), all yarn is acrylic, a bit fuzy... ;)

i am not too satisfied with the pink sweater sleeves .. and i hear frog ...frog...but not so sure... i want to work this granny square first, so i can sit or lay down while watching tv comfortably again soon!! :)

going 1..2...3....

finally!!! i blocked this crocheted 1 rose shawl yesterday.
after i soaked on the bucket, put light liquid soap, and wash it, hang it almost dry, then pinned on my bed (since i dont have the block board), here it is:

dont know coz the classic feeling but i found that this looked lovelier, since it white. previous i worked in sky blue and black yarn.

and here is the detail of border :

project: 1 roses triangle crochet shawl
yarn: grace from orion top (100% acrylic, 106 grams - 460 metres per cones, white)
crochet hook: tulip, no. 1 ( i always assume the number refer to centimetres)
working time: started nov 3 - finished 14 november (from 3-8 was full time .9-5 .:p)

i need to make other sample for the shawl for made to order project, doesnt mean i dont like this project, this is one of my fave, however i need to make something else, since there so many possibilities that we can create from simple stitches... i am thinking of motifs combined together, i am thinking rose (like irish crochet type), i am thinking granny square, i am thinking hair pin lace, i am thinking aran, bobbles ... but definetly i need to make new shawl sample.. :)

so, i can say my stash is not just a stash, that growing taller and taller on the corner but it's an investment!!

lurking, crocheting, visiting

it's long holiday here in indonesia, after the moeslem fasting month, there were 2 days idul fitri holiday, but since the bali bombing 2 years ago, to increase the tourism business, government was decided to extended the some holiday.. so this year, the extended days was 3 days, our holiday total was from Nov 2 - 8!!!

before i wasnt planning or perhaps too many activities on to-do-during-long-holiday list, so many that i couldn't decide what i would going to do, some were:
1. cleaning, re-arranging book shelves that i used to stored the mags, books, knit tools, some others little things that i think i wouldnt notice if my mom throw it away

2. taking picture of my stash and make inventory from it ( i still have thousands of books that need to take care of like put some plastic cover and put some label)

3. do some note of my knitting expenses ( i would cry on this for sure...*sigh)

4. stashbuster for the sirdar cotton breeze... i still have the baby pink (900 grs!!!) and the baby yellow (1000 grs!!) and baby blue snuggly DK - 4 ply (1000 grs)!!! i am thinking crocheted/knitted afghan for the baby pink. and lacey motif jacket for the baby yellow and havent got any clue what to do with the snuggly..

5. continue the WIP - 3 colors cardigan, the pink sweater

6. playing with puppies -> bobo and snowy were delivered cute puppies over a month ago, bobo have 3 - all boys, and snowy have 2 - 1 male, 1 female. my dogs are mongrel, but puppies always cute!!! i need to take some pictures of them too!!

7. try the waffel recipe

8. watching korean movie series...

9. checked on some travelling either malaysia, singapore, bangkok, hongkong or bali... but since the crazy price on tickets and thinking we would be jam together with millions people, this very excited idea easily gave up...

then on the last day before holiday, one of my work team, told me that he would like to order the rose crocheted shawl, the one that i made 2 version before 5 roses (the full version) and 1 rose (well.. only 1 rose with fringe). he would like to have it on white and withou fringe... voila!!!

so i guess without i need to telling you reader already knew what i put on my first priorities...the order for crocheted shawl!!! *wink...*wink....*

so i did lots of crocheted, thanks God it's crocheting since the sun shining like crazy here, like we have 4 suns all over the sky!! even i was quietly sitting down just do crocheting i was in sweat in very short time!!! and got to back and forth to the sink to wash my hands coz it sweat too!!!

when i was bored with the crochet, i went to the hospital with mom and bro visited my uncle. he back from his few days comma, and already realized the people who visited him. he is still in ICU.
he looked much better, no more yellowish shadowing his face and legs, but with the respiration tools on throat, he cant talk, only from his eyes he let us knew that he glad we came visited him.

yesterday, we got news that he getting much better, the doctor already positioning his reclining bed to sitting position, but all the supporting tools still attaching onto his body. sometimes he got very angry and upset and tired with the IV on his arm. we are so glad!! and for you the readers who may pray for him too, i would like to say many many thanks !!!

i didn't have any chance taking pict on my projects yet, will come soon!! :-)

last but not least, alex has launched her new blog called knittyguru, so check it out !!

almost hibernating?

it's been 2 weeks... last time i visited here, on 17th added the flicker badge..do you like it?
should put some more picture of my finished project, another promise i know......

lately, been busy with work, the pink tshirt project, and sick. yeah.. got weak tummy and after the doc precribtion's working its miracle, got another one.. the headache..real headache..so bad that it's like poking my eye balls from inside my head...*tuck..tuck...tuck...* like woody woodpecker...

then, my uncle from my mom side, after few in hospital, he was drop so bad, and in within 2 days, the doctor said, his liver, his kidneys and his lungs are went so bad... almost stop functioning.
the doctor said the chance are very very little... only 10 percents left.
now he is in ICU...and.. i may he is one of the person in family that i really admire for his hard working.
from nobody to be somebody, from selling mango fruit on the street and through hard working he has a small shoes manufacturing. too bad he stop the woman's line and now only play in man's footwear.
i really praying for him, all the best for him .. hopefully Buddha will blessing him, and help him, all the good karma that he done would help him through all this pain.

with so many things happened lately i finished the back part of pink tshirt



and working on the front part, just started the armhole shaping....



and here are the details....



sorry for the color may not turn out well.. but it's pink... not dusty pink...bolder than baby pink and lighter than shocking pink...;)

havent touch the other project yet.. the tricolor cardi....

btw, i gave the cozy shawl alreadyto my sis, i told her top open it later..then she sent me the message that she almost cried when she read my notes on the gift pack and she really..really like it ;)
want to know what i wrote to her? secret...:-)

where do i belong?

those words are familiar from some movie, and lately i saw this flying around bloggers....

and curious to know where do i belong, i went to the quiz... and the result is

You Belong in Rome You're a big city girl with a small town heart Which is why you're attracted to the romance of Rome Strolling down picture perfect streets, cappuccino in hand And gorgeous Italian men - could life get any better? What City Do You Belong in? Take This Quiz :-) Find the Love of Your Life (and More Love Quizzes) at Your New Romance.

was it true? well.. i love pasta and pizza... and capucinno and latte...and.. old buildings... wine...

how about you? where you belong? ;)

lovely..lovely...

when you feeling cozy, do you want to end it soon?
as for me, i should, since i already use all the 4 3/4 balls of Gedifra Wellness to create this.
and guess i will have hard time to say goodbye with this, but i have too, it will goes to my sis.
off the needle (by 2 october 2005), it was about 106 cms...then i washed it... and since it cotton, i didn't expected it will changing a lot, well.. when i hanging on the backyard to let it sun-dry, it turned to 146 cms!!!
but the width not much changing!!

then when i picked up, after few hours outside, the length got a bit shotter... now it about 126 cms..and i pinned it on my bed now (thanks for the queen size bed!!).. he.. he.. he...

i will let it overnight, and see whether it can be blocked for good or not.
btw, if you have any experience blocking cotton yarn, kindly drop me line or two... is it going back to normal size later in future if we wash it again and leave it dry without being blocked?

btw, i hand-washed it ... it's machine washable.. but so far no knitting projects were went to washing machine.



will load the pictures soon... promise..promise.... (:p)

--sad news---
hate the bomb in bali island!! it's very terible, as if my country has not enaugh troubles... *sigh.....*
all my prayers for the victims.

just being cozy

working with lace pattern would make you tired sometimes.
1st, got to counting for every row where the stitch have inc, dec, yo, and k1.
2nd, when you think you are doing ok, and felt confident that there isn't stitch left out or too many dec, less yo... then.. ta da...... the sts were less or too much ...
3rd, cant avoid frogging the row

that's why i keep counting every row where all the dec, yo sts are do. even sometimes i can missed some stitch on the purl side coz i dropped the yo loop.


on the other hand, it's worth it. when it's reached certain length when you can admiring the motif, even it's simple motif.

so... here are my cozy progress... the real pattern was using Reynolds Mandalay (100% silk, 98ysd/88 m per 50 gr skein), color oatfield and required 8 skeins to finish it.

as for my cozy (during the knitting, since this would be my gift to my sis), it knitted with Gedifra Wellness (60% cotton, 40% acrylic, and it's still produce a bit of fuzy balls, 110 m per 50 g ball), so i am thinking it wold be using less balls but may reach almost same length with the original knitting.

since 88 m * 8 => 704 m, and using 5 mm, the length is 67.5 inch and width : 18.75 inch

and for my project:
110 m * 4 3/4 (3/4 was from the vest project) -> 525.5 m, and using 4.5 mm, the width is 15 inch.
perfect.. since it wouldnt be too bulky and too long for her..;)

a peek from my cozy.... (will be update asap *sigh* since the internet connection acting lazy tonight)

note: finally...pict can be upload now..by oct 15..2005

browsing around....

other than WIP, searching patterns, tips and tricks, checking online yarn stores, also to read the knitters blogs.
reading the progress of their WIP, the experience using certain yarn to create beautiful projects. i haven't find people to work on weird-bizzare-scarry project though. is it because the effort that we already spent on the project, the lovely yarn, and the proud to be admire (including me..:p) are factors for us, knitters, to create something beautiful and lovely.

so, i added some more blog link on my blog site some ... check on the men who knit , it's an eye opener, make knitting become balance, not more to feminin-girly type activity anymore.

a lot of men who knit, sometimes they are shy to show it in public. i knew this coz my brother also knit/crochet. he said that people still have a stereotype that crochet/knit are more to women thing, not manly enaugh to do by men. on the other side, who never heard about great mens on fashion industry, great chef... they are men who working in "woman" area...

well.. it could become long discussion on this topic, and i love knitting too much and dont want this be spoil by men-women things argues.

so, just enjoy reading and have a good time browsing around..;)

knitty cozy shawl.....another wip.. *hik...*

as if the WIP are not enaugh (the pink sweater, the tri color crochet cardi, and i just remembered now that actualy i have a very long chain-about 300 something- crocheted already for a shawl, from solutia -> shut down by sept 1 .. too bad..), on weekend, i already started to cast on another project, this time "cozy" shawl from knitty . this project actually already on my list since the first time i seen this, but not like love in the first sight..i keep it in my list, like making a good wine... make it mature enaugh..then:

1. i remembered my sis birthday will come on next month, with about 2 weeks ahead (about only 4 days actually since i can only really work on this project full time on weekend),

2. then i saw my stash, Gedifra yarn, i still have 5 balls, and the color pretyy much close to the original pattern.

3. then i thinking it will suitable with my sis.

and i picked up the needles, and casted on.

for this project, i am using 4.5 mm needles, 2 type of needles, bamboo and nickel-plated-inox type needle (since i am forget the brand, i bought this during my trip to perth last year).

on yarn label said it suitable for 3-4 mm needles, but it's going ok with 4.5 mm.

cozy pattern asking for 5 mm, mine would be shorter, but still acceptable...;)

so, i am knit for 20-something rows.. it's fun project.

love the lace and the seems this gedifra yarn really working well with this pattern... *soul-mate*

pict of progress will be posted a little bit late...;)

green cardi buttoned up

today was so hot, even at this moment, at the evening after bit raining..so humid!!!
i did the stock st my pink sweater (i wil called it sweater now, since it has kinda turtle-neck shaped, it couldn't be call turtle neck t-shirt ;p) but not sure what keep my finger feeling clumsy or what, coz it keeping not turned good.


i am better with lace and cabled..that can hide ugly stockinette st, so i took a break again, and did a bit sew, put some wooden button on the green cabled cardigan.





















as if i am not hot enaugh, i put the cardi on, and here the front and the back look . the cables on the sleeve are straight, but i was too hot when wear this.. and it is very good thing to have a self timer camera :) tell what do you think...:)


i give my self some excuse for a little errors or impefectness this is my first cabled cardi and since i found it after i sewn all parts...so my dear reader..if you notice the imperfect *hole* (hint..hint)....sorry....

going 1..going 2..going 3.....

taaadaaaa!!!



here are the 16 rows from my triple crochet cardi... i named it my project by myself, coz i dont know what it's name since i cant read japanese.
i feel that the contrast between black to bluish grey- white are ok..a bit too strong.. but it will match with the light blue, or white or grey or black tank top if i wear this later.
another concern is since the row are horizontal, it may give illusion of wider body shape, so i am thinking to make the sleeve and the collar with all black to balance it. gosh... working with black yarn such a misery, but we all love a little black here and there..:-)

back to my pink t-shirt (or should i called it sweater?), after reached about 20 cms height, i took a look and i quite shame with my stockinette stitch...the tension was not consistent, i am wondering, is it coz by the needle?
i am using inox circular 3.5mm for this miami yarn, and the based on the label it said that the yarn can be work with 3-4 mm of yarn.
for the ribbing 2x2, i was using the 4 mm and it turned ok.
so i feel uncomfortable, thought that wheter i should frog it (AGAIN!!!!) or not?
frog?
no? (i already did that before and my yarn now suffer with the splitting symptom...*sigh*)
frog! (the stock st so terrible.. i couldn't show this off if the quality is like this!!)
no!!!! (just thinking the re-knit it again already make me feel so tired!!, how bout the time you already spent?????)
frog!
no!
frog!?
no!?

i left it for a while, and when i got back, i made up my mind.
i frog it.
no choice. i want to love my work and it's good yarn, and i can imagine it will turn out great once it finish. and i kinda a perfectionist on this thing.
so i left it on the bin for a day, not touching .. then tonight i back to knit it again.....
(i am tempting to switch to 3.25 mm needle.. but no..no... got to focus... the 3.5mm is great just i have to more pay attention on tension!!)

triple color crocheted cardi

Dont know what's wrong with me or my finger, when i did the re-knit, the 2x2 ribbing were no problem, but when i do the stitch for sweet pink tshirt, keep finding the error, the stitch too loose, no consistency between rows (some are too tight, too loose), the i found in few rows under, the yarn wasnt went into the right direction. it suppose the purl stitch, but somehow i was did the knit st... oh ... *sigh*....

so i stop for a while and cheered myself up with the spring & summer 2005 Let's Knit Series,and guess it's now the time to start a cast on with this project.

i love the pattern, i love cardi, and it's crochet, so perhaps would finish faster than the knit project. for this, i am using Katia Creppi, since i cant found the blue color in range like the one in pattern, so for me the color are black, light bluish gray and super shine white. using the 3 mm steel crochet hook (tulip -> it's the best crochet hook in indonesia and some south east asia and china i think). yarn gauge is : 22stsx32 rows/10 cm using 3.6 mm knitting needles.
as for the pattern, it asked : 25 stsx10 rows/10 cm using the 3.25 mm
so, when i made the gauge, it's took about almost same length, but for the rows, i should make abut 6 rows extra to meet the pattern measturement.

as for my color, i started with black 2 rows, then 1 rowbluish grey or i think it greyish blue, then 1 row white.

it's quite funny working 3 yarn color at the same time and luckily i wasn't jump to the project and skipped the motif details.

each time the color changing, the yarn was carry on from the previous of each color below. .. sorry if i lost you people here..

i already have about 16 rows and too tired and too hot taking other pictures..

inspirations...frogging...

i almost finished with the back part of my pink tshirt..only about 5-6 rows to go on the to shaping the neckline and shoulder. since i did some adjustments with the gauge..it turned out that i made it smaller...sigh...
the armhole were fine, but all the rows before shapping.. too little stitches left... ummm..uggghh...ugghh...



the original pattern's gauge is 25 sts-32 row using needle no. 3.75 mm and 32 sts-32row using 3.25 or 3.5 mm needle.
miami yarn that i use, the gauge is 20 sts-28 row.. so it's bigger then, after sketched and calculated, i knitted.
and during the almost finished back part, i put it on my back, took some metering.. and then.. sigh..it's too small...:-(
original pattern, the width is 46 cm.. and turned out my project only about 39 cm... perhaps my math not work too well during the calculating....

so, i got no choice...here come the frogs... ripped..ripped.... my mom helped me frogging....and i was back to square one, the 2x2 ribbing using 4 mm, and the body part using 3.5mm.



since i knew how to knit, i more noticing for the adv, when they have knitted items. perhaps it sound funny.. but i like it ..;)

so when took a break from re-knitting, i grabbed australian woman mag, april 2005... and seen some adverstisement from target and other store.. they have nice knitted wear... all machine for sure... i love the lace cardigan. it's beautiful..
but doing it with black yarn..can be lots of effort and energy...

but just as inspirations, maybe you like to make all of these nice clothes too?

sweet pink-shirt

ah.. almost finished with the lavender cardigan, and for the next project would be this..

taken from Let's Knit Series Spring Summer 2004, this project already statyed in my project to do list for about a year!!! i was looked for the match yarn that i really want to use for this.

i was thinking about blue, white, dark blue, yellow, sage, light brown, cream.. even purple!! but my mind always come back to this pink and pink.. ;p

i like this, coz i can wear it under my work jacket suit... working in a company with conservative background is a big no no to wear something too sexy.. and i found this is easy to make....

so, i found this perfect yarn... using MIAMI yarn imported from Germany, made in bulgaria. it's mercerized cotton and i am using 4mm for the ribbing and then used 3.75 mm for the stockinette... but found out that would be too big...so i ripped of the body part and switched to 3.5 mm. it's knitted perfectly.. but since it is cotton, still got some fuzziness...but i love the color!!

hopefully i can finish this soon.. want to wear it to work.. umm.. thinking abut showing off.. that would be not too sinful eh? ;)

almost finished lavender cardi

back to my lavender cardi project... i am afraid it may not fit with my mom size.. a little bit tight on her.. and knowing her, she may not too like fit clothes... but if she doesnt want to, i can always wear it.. :)

so here it is, after the finishing phases: sewing all parts, crocheted picot all around (found this is quite time consuming... same like put the tassels!!) ... here are some details i can share with you all....

the whole cardi after sewing all parts:

lav card01

close up motif:

lav card detail

the sleeve close up:


lav card detil sleeve

and the front and back parts... sorry for the hanging loose yarns...


lav cardi front


lav card back

as for the buttons... i am thinking to put the pearl beads ... make the cardi look little "classy" type..... or perhaps just the transparant bead..


beads


lav card detil btn

total would be take about 10 buttons... i bought this beads on area called Pasar Baru. A central shopping area for fabrics (mostly the stores are owned by India people) and material for weddings stuffs so thats includes tailored-handmade shoes/sandals, tiaras, beads but hardly yarn, central of beauty salon supplies too.. i can forgive havent find the yarns store here, since there are lots of yummy food...(cakes/pastries/snacks) chinese, india, indonesia, dutch yumm.....yummm......very womanly area.. he.. he.. ;)

back to the project, i will to sew some of the pearl to this cardi.. and see if that will fit with the button hole.

*ps: i will put some info on this project , suc as yarns info and project length...*

hei... you are 1 month old now!!!

few weeks ago, was 1 month of baby HJ.. so.. we all the extended family were received this very nice and yummy 1 month baby box.

here in indonesia, the 1 month baby box can be either the cake (like b day cake with little tiny baby miniature statue on the top) or more traditional like this.

the lunch box contained: 1/2 bbq chicken with the sweet soy sauce, 2 redden boiled eggs, 1 portion yellowed rice with shreded coconut on the top, each 2 chinese pastries (the pink one from the cake name represented the stronger or blooming, and the red one represented long life -> symbol of turtle)..

want to try? ;)


baby 1 month box

baby afghan and the receiver :-)

finally!!! after non stop working every day (on weekend) and every night (weekday) for 3 weeks.. i can finished the this baby afghan!!!
i made combined with 3 type of patterns, the fan looked alike, the bubbles and the crossed/diagonal.
it turned out about 150 cms in square.. i hope it really fit with the baby.. i know he is a premmie but still this is my first afghan!!!!

this project supposed to be working in 2 months.. but since the little baby HJ wanted to see the world so quickly, I got only 3 weeks to finished and during that 3 weeks, i havent seen him...hope he like this.

i got the feeling this soft baby green colored very suitable with him.. after i finished it , the afghan is very soft texture, very smooth.. i am definitely want to work with this sirdar breeze cotton dk next time.. and i will for sure, since i still have the stash from same brand for other colors... light yellow and the blue.... and also the pink... got lots of balls of each colors!! ummm... thinking what kind of project i would do on that yarn next..


greenbabyafghancroc

so here are the closer detail from baby afghan look like...


greenbabyafghancroc_clsup

and on Sunday of the 3rd week, me and mom paid visit to my cousin house... and here he is... he is very tiny baby... mind you, he only about 2.8 kilograms... and 7 month on his mom's belly... he.. he..
i wasnt dare to hold him or carry him on my arms... he looked very peaceful sleeping in his cute little box...
when he toook out for drinking time (breast feeding and baby milk), not long after that he was peed... he.. he.. from his crying, we can see this baby would be alright.. will grow up and healthy.
he is very strong too, when his grandma wrapped him with the batik to keep him arm, she put his tiny hands inside the wrap, few seconds later, he was struggling to free his hands...one by one...then do kinda like stretching, her grandma put his hand back to the wrap after few minutes let him feel the freedom.. he.. he...
so, while he is feeling warm and fulll, he took a chance to looking around and observing us with his tiny eyes and i was tooke chance to take a pict of him..;)


littlebabyHJ
welcome to the world HJ... grow up healthy and strong... *kiss on cheeks*
