Turning the coaster into an Afghan square
I posted the pattern for a 12-petal coaster a few days and I was going to make another for the Knit-A-Square project today. Unfortunately, my browser refused to worked, so I was not able to search for another pattern to make. Yeah... I have an obsession of making a different pattern every time. ;p

12 Petals Coaster Pattern - with business updates
Wow! It's been five years since I posted. How did time just fly by?! A lot has happened in between and I am not going to bore you with that. I can only say God has been good! Let's stay focused.
Business update - We have moved back to Singapore! Our Facebook page is still active to serve both the Singapore and US customers. The website is for the US customers and the Carousell site is for the Singapore customers.
I have been actively working on the Knit-A-Square project with the church aunties who bought yarn in bulk on Tao Bao at only 60 cents each. If you are a crocheter or knitter, and have some free time and loose yarn on hand, do consider supporting the project!
I have been asked so many times about when I started doing yarn craft when I was seen working on the squares outside. After saying I started at 11 yr old so many times, I decided that more kids should get a chance to learn the craft! Let me tell you my experience though. I made my mum take me to a yarn shop, chose a project for a black and white top, paid more than $100 and sat down to learn. Although I preserved and finished the project, the teacher measured the top so wide and so short I never ever got to wear the top. :_( I believed I spent no longer than 3 hrs in the shop but I did have to pop by a few times to fix some mistakes.
Therefore, I am offering 1 to 1 knitting/ crochet classes to kids and teenagers at $20/hr, allowing them to learn at their own pace with a very simple project, like a coaster or pouch. Instead of paying for all the material and realizing your child is not interested, I will supply all the material needed to get started. There is not even a need to commit to another lesson unless your child enjoys it. If your child wants to pursue a bigger project, you can buy the material at that time and I'll be happy to teach at the same rate. Spread the word and contact me if you are interested!
With the Knit A Square project, I try to make a different pattern for every square, in a bid to learn more techniques and patterns. I finally attempt to write one myself today. I started with making the coaster before writing it down. I used a lot of double crochet 2 together because I love that stitch : )
Enjoy the pattern for now!
