Back in 1998....

While updating the Simply Love into the photobucket album. I discovered that way back in 1998, i already know how to knit sock....baby socks. This was where i learned from -


I have the habit of writting down the date, the place and the price on every book that i buy. See, the date is 27 June 1998 in a little craft shop. The price is S$19. Wow, that is a long time - 10 years ago. It is just like hitting a long-forgotten gold mine.

26 August 1998 is a day of a new chapter in my life, i have become a mother.

There are many cute baby knit and crochet items in the books. The one that caught my attention is the baby socks and the baby booties.

I knitted 1 pair of baby sock and 1 pair of booties following the symbol chart in this book within 2 month.



One of the baby sock has gone missing when we moved house.

The 100% cotton yarn -Live Cotton, a Japanese brand - is in my stash box. But the white one has since turns to bits of yellow spot here and there.
