Different Stitches
For every yarn skein (shade/tint of pink colour and yarn) I am going to introduce a different kind of stitch. That should keep things more interesting within the dynamic aspect of the project. I need to speed up my work progress. Maybe if i set a deadline for myself I would get things done faster. 2 weeks from today? Yeah, 2 weeks.

Work in Progress - Update 1
Today’s progress was kind of slow but the form is shaping, which is great! I think the best part about this project is how different shades/tints of pink yarn will be coming together and take part of one form.

It's 6am.
After countless tries to get the size_ almost _to perfect- I’m there! Finally got the time to put my head to it & find the perfect way of making sure the size is good enough. Going in circles was driving me nuts; I kept adding more stitches. For a while I was unsure if I still knew how to crochet & had to look things up just to make sure I am on the right track. But here I am with...

Stormy/Sandy Weather in Dubai
This /winter/ is weird. It barely rained in Dubai. I haven’t heard the thunder yet, or seen lightning (my very absolute effing favourite.) It’s pretty much sunny (and kind of hot) most of the time although it may be 21-25 degrees. The sky/clouds sometimes may give the impression of soon-to-rain but it never does. Surrounding countries are drowning in water (KSA being one) and we...

I hate this part right here.
When you spend hours working on that one thing, only to figure out the measurements were wrong.

Rick: Elka gave me my first ball.
Rick: I thought my head was going to explode.
Joy: Please start saying baseball.
Rick: In this case, it's best to leave it ambiguous.
Rick: She was very giving to me when I needed it the most. And on that day, a 35 year old became a man.

4futurer replied to your photo: I need to buy more big colourful buttons. adds to… Good ol’ days, I used to be such an ‘artsy craftsy’, no more time of patience any more. :( Arts/Crafts always find its way back to your life! & with how university life can become, you might resort to finding different ways to spend your time ;)

My Brother is the Cutest.
I’ve been coming back home late lately, and by the time I get back, my brother is already asleep. & I fucking missed him. He’s the only one I really miss if I don’t get to see for days. Not that I am the most amazing loving sister ever anyway. I have such a short temper and for the most part I am arguing with my brother. My 6 year old brother. I missed him so much I have...

Knitted Top
Initially, this was supposed to be a shawl, but it was not lengthy enough to wrap around me. It took me time to figure out what is it that I can do with it. I always feel self conscious when I put on something I have made but it is starting to get much better. I couldn’t be any prouder! The more I look at my outfil in the mirror, the more I fall in love with this.

My MW schedule is making me extremely lazy and...
On a good note- I did decide on what my senior project will be about and what approach I am going to take to get it done. I am very much excited about it already. Execution? Oh yeah, I still have time for that, right?

The Birthday Card
I love the loose ends of threads at the back of the artwork. I used to think of them as ugly and distracting, but I’ve grown to appreciate them and look at them differently.

Experimenting
The beauty of handmade work to me is the experimentation of techniques and methods. There’s always an idea/imagery I have on mind and once I apply it I either get the result I want, or I resort to another method. No dead ends. & there’s always a chance to retry. Chances are I will get the result I was hoping for right from the start. Here’s the other part of the handmade...

Today is a day that has gone into waste.
Maybe tomorrow is going to be more productive and rewarding. Arabs’ Got Talent did give me a good laugh though. I understand how most of these people have the guts to audition, but that doesn’t mean to completely dismiss the fact that 90% of the acts were embarrassing as to what ‘Arabs’ think or even belief what is considered to be a talent. It is not the blind following...

Corporate Identity-PinkSheep (PS)
I am going through my projects throughout the past 4 years of university, and this by far surpasses them all. I believe it was the first time I get very experimental and handmade with any of my Graphic Design projects. Not very long before we had the project, I reconnected with my passion for the lovely things yarn and threads can offer, create and be part of. I discovered a newly opened yarn...
