Back to yarn and needle

Paid a visit to my blog after almost half decade (what!!)  not writing anything here. Found some knitters blogs are inactive or totally gone from the web. Some still there with new addresses. Flicker also change the free gallery that I embedded in my page before.
In terms of knitting, there were some works but I need to find my picts first. I knitted 2 swallowtails shawls using yarn from kmart. 1 shawl need only 1 skein. Cost wise, it fits with my budget as student back then.  I gave the 2nd swallowtail shawl I knitted to a Buddhist nun, just for pay my gratitude.

At this moment I am crocheting a table cover; however, I experienced some difficulties to follow the pattern. It's an octagonal shape, so almost circle and somehow I always made mistakes in some wedges, hence, I need to ripped the work for about 5 or 6 times, I lost counting.
The material I used is cotton thread, in taupe or dark cream with 3/0 size crochet needle.

But I won't give up with this pattern. However, I think I will have a better luck with my knitting needles.
