Hello Knotty Fans! We hope July has been bright and sunny for everyone! Itx been a little crazier for me coz besides our growing ongoing classes, itx my little Edda's 4th Birthday this month! So glad I haven't "lost my edge", & managed to crochet this sweet blouse & her Frozen Snowflake Charm in time for her Frozen-themed party :D This lovely smile just made all the hard work absolutely worthwhile :)
To our new fans who had just joined us over at our crafting
studio at Orchard Plaza, we are excited to have you with us on this crafty
journey and we are definitely looking forward to sharing your knitting &
crochet journey.
We continue to be thrilled to see all the amazing creations
our existing Knotty Fans have been crocheting & knitting up at our studio, and
it always brightens up everyone’s day when we get to see their completed
amazing “works-of-heart”. And
sometimes, when Knotty Fans send me photos of their completed “secret
projects”, which they work independently at home, I can’t help but glee with
joy & pride! Thank you for sharing your joy! :D
While you continue to wrap the yarn around your needles, let’s
chat a bit about KNITTING. Some of u asked me who invented
knitting?
How interesting whenever we speak about knitting, a
stereotyped image of an old granny clicking those needles away on a rocking
chair appears in that little thinking cloud! Oh no, there is no rocking chair over at Knotty Bicsie studio,
or at least not now …… but who knows? :P
Now, who says the men don't get it?? :P
Some hard facts according to Wikipedia (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_knitting),
it was believed to
have been originated from Middle East (Egypt) and the earliest evidence was
related to a resemblance of knitted socks, even though there weren’t any
concrete clues to knitting’s age.
While the craft of knitting transmitted across the globe, items like
knitted cushions, stockings and garments etc. were among the knitted works
produced.
Now
let’s fast forward to our modern world. Knitting continues to be a therapeutic
hobby among people of all ages and genders all over the world. Exciting & Interesting yarns,
paired with cool patterns, techniques and stitches available today, we are
constantly inspired to create our very own one-of-a-kind masterpieces!
ALL
of you have assumed that knitting & crochet are my passion. Hence Knotty
Bicsie was born. Truth is, my passion is actually in the process of creating
& making things from scratch. I just happened to have discovered knitting
& crochet some 8years ago, when my soul was starving to MAKE MAKE MAKE! And
so, knitting & crochet became a therapeutic medium to satisfy that hunger
& craving to just CREATE! Well, the rest, like what they always say, is history.
J And this is why I always tell people that Knotty Bicsie is a
“happy accident”! ;) Nonetheless, knitting and crochet has indeed given me huge
sense of contentment, accomplishment, satisfaction & completeness! Totally indulging in & grateful for
this amazing journey…
Fingers
itching already? Sounds too tempting? Let’s put on some music, make your
favourite cuppa, sink into your favourite couch, and ENJOY some wonderful
knitting and crochet today! ;D
