I have finally finished the ribbed scarf and after doing 40 tassels on each end here's the result:

After going through my wardrobe I've found some articles of clothing that I knitted/crocheted a long time ago, ranging from 2000 till last year. So I apologise if some details are sketchy and inexact.

This scarf was knitted using the feathery flutter yarn that changes colour from blue, green, to purple (I don't recall the brand but they are very common in Kmart/Lincraft/Spotlight). I used 2 threads at a times and if I remember correctly I went through 8 balls. The pattern is a simple garter stitch for about 15-20 stitches each row depending on how wide one wants it. I used thick needles for this. I don't suggest using this kind of wool for beginners, as it gets very tedious and hard to undo when you make a mistake.

This navy blue scarf was crocheted using medium sized hook and double stitches for each row. I chose the colour because our school colours were navy and rust and we were only allowed navy scarves in winter.
This doily is actually quite big in size, about half a metre in diameter. Again it's from one of my mom's crochet magazines and it was meant to be crocheted using very thin thread. I used white, pink, purple cotton yarn and that's why it's much bigger than it's meant to be. But the good thing is that I can put it with the other clothes in the washing machine.

These legwarmers were one of my very first projects. The yarn is the same as the doily above, and it's a simple ribbing, stocking, ribbing pattern. The edges were then stitched together at the end. However I find the cast off ends a bit small for my legs. Maybe next time I should increase the stitches towards the end.

My latest finished project: blue and yellow scarf. I knitted it before I left for Sweden mid last year which explains the colours. It's ribbed again, 2k 2p for about 50 stitches each row. After all the wash and wear unfortunately some of the ends (from constantly changing colours) have come loose.

This scarf is a very basic ribbing pattern of 2 knits, 2 purls, for 40 stitches each row. I use size 10 needles and 2 balls of Patons' Big Baby 4-ply wool (2 threads at a time) with green, blue, yellow and white colours. It will be quite narrow, but I plan to knit a rather long one.

Doilies

A few months ago I started crocheting doilies using very thin threads with multiple colours, mostly for people's birthdays. The actual size is about 30-40cm in diameter. I got the patterns from Mom's Japanese crochet books (I don't know Japanese but the patterns were shown in diagrams and codes). I didn't keep photos of all of them, but I found one in the house today and took a photo of it. I might start doing doilies again after I finish my scarf.
