Make your own Takoyaki Octopus Ball!

Okay...i have to admit that i have been extremely late in updating my blog for the past 2 weeks. I have just came back from a week long holiday in somewhere else. The trip was good and the weather was just nice, even though it gets cooler in the night. Being away from home gives me more inspiration and ideas for me to crochet in future!

This pattern was actually completed just before a board the plane. So i was rushing to put it in my online stores and was not able to update it in my blog. When i came back, i was extremely exhausted from all those travelling and sleep most of the time for the past 3 days. Finally i am able to update my stuff and my store.
So i have made a Takoyaki or Octopus Ball maker set. It is a famous snacks in Japan. The pattern consists of the pan, oil jug, batter jug, salt, sauce and ready-made takoyaki. As usual you can find all my patterns in Etsy, Ebay, Ravelry or Dawanda Stores.

Happy Crocheting Everyone!

Crochet Dim Sum for Everyone!

Another of my favorite food for breakfast, dim sum. Dim Sum originated from the chinese, with the popular ones coming from Hong Kong. The Hong Kong style dim sum comes with a large variety of steamed and deep fried food. Most people prefer the steamed compared to those that are deep fried. It is usually eaten with chinese tea as breakfast in most places.

My crochet version of dim sum comprises of 10 different types.

Pork Bun - Also known as 'Char Siu Bao'. Steamed Bun with filling of pork inside. May also be different type of filling such as lotus paste.

Egg Custard Tart - Known as ' Dan Tart' in Chinese, is made from normal tart skin with egg custard filling in middle. Best to be eaten fresh out of the oven!

Prawn Dumpling - Also called 'Har Gau'. As the name suggest, the filling is all fresh prawn wrap in thin dumpling skin which then steamed to cook. My favorite of all din sum!

Mini Spring Roll - Known as 'Chun Kuen'. Ingredients consists of all thinly shredded carrot, turnip and some meat.

Panfried Dumpling - Similar to prawn dumpling but with different ingredients. Usually pork was used as main ingredients. It is panfried and not steamed.

Sesame Seed Ball - Deep fried ball of flour with filling of red bean paste and covered with sesame.

Shao Mai - Most popular type of Dim Sum. Made from pork and steamed using bamboo steamer.

Rice Noodles Roll - Also known as 'Cheung Fun'. Made from thin rice flour paste and steamed with filling of either prawn or pork (char siu).

Taro Dumpling - Made from taro (also known as yam) with filling of 'char siu' and deep fried.

Lotus Leaf Rice - Known as ' Lo Mai Gai'. Steamed rice with filling of chicken on a lotus leaf.

How i wish i could have all these right now!

Happy Crocheting everyone!

Canned Food!

If you are lazy to cook or wanted to have a quick meal without getting out of your home, then canned food would be your saviour. Every now and then, i will buy some canned food and store them up. It is perfect for those lazy moments where you are lazy to cook but still need to eat time. Especially for people like me!

So i have come up with a crochet version of canned food. It really reminds me of the real canned food. Those 3 are my favorites which is sardines, pork ham meat and baked beans.

Happy Crocheting!

Toaster Set Crochet Pattern

As everyone knows i like to crochet food items, partly inspired by food models from Japan and partly due to my love for nice food. I couldn't eat that much but looking at it makes me satisfied.

I always wanted to make something that has an electrical cord with a plug. So this time i have tested out my cord and plug using a toaster. This is the special feature of this pattern. I think it looks more realistic with a cord and plug. Another feature of this pattern is that you can really put your crochet bread inside the toaster! Sure will add more fun to it.

Happy crocheting everyone!

Pancakes For All!

I think it will be fun to make your own pancakes and selecting your own toppings. You may come up with thousands of combination just to suit your taste. Or even maybe to experiment with new flavors? I know there is a shop that specialize only in selling pancakes, not in in my country though.

My pattern consists of a pancakes maker where all the crocheted pancakes will fit nicely into the pan. With 5 different toppings, you can mix and match the toppings. You could even put a few different toppings at once!

My favorite would definitely be the chocolate and cream combination. Its definitely yummy!Happy Crocheting Everyone!

Hot Waffles For Sale!

I really missed those days where i could enjoy a hot waffles after school time. Usually i would prefer 'kaya' waffles which made of coconut milk mixed with butter. Sometimes i might go for chocolate waffles too.
The most challenging part of crocheting this waffles is that the squares on the surface of the waffles. It took me some time to think of ways to make it more realistic rather than putting a fake line on the surface. I hope people will like the 'flavours' that i put for the waffles. The waffles consists of 5 different flavours such as fruity waffles which consists of orange slices, kiwi, banana, strawberry and cherry. Besides that, it also includes, ice cream waffles, strawberry and cream waffles, butter and syrup waffles and cherry waffles. Each of the waffles measures 6 inch for the round and 4 inch for the square waffles.

Those interested in this pattern can visit my store at www.skymagenta.etsy.com or stores.shop.ebay.com/skymagenta for more details. Coming up next would be something sweet and interesting too!

Happy Crafting!
