These are the 2 days when the J1 students of Hwa Chong Institution gets to enjoy their 2 days of Sabbaticals Program, while their teachers go busy marking their exam scripts :P & coincidentally, itx the time when Knotty Bicsie celebrates our Anniversary! So it always feels like a "birthday pilgrimage" for Knotty Bicsie :P<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AHwtXs5cmtU/Tpf8oPfJ6JI/AAAAAAAADTc/a8KQkJiQy-Q/s1600/Slide8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AHwtXs5cmtU/Tpf8oPfJ6JI/AAAAAAAADTc/a8KQkJiQy-Q/s320/Slide8.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This year, besides our usual Funky Knit & Basic Tatting Workshop, we also collaborated with <a href="http://www.japonicas.com/" target="_blank"">Japonicas</a> to conduct a very special course - "Mu" Workshop (Terrarium & Hand-Bouquet).</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Zkp4uV-E4kg/Tpf8bSte4yI/AAAAAAAADTU/6tNmiczt-eA/s1600/Slide7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Zkp4uV-E4kg/Tpf8bSte4yI/AAAAAAAADTU/6tNmiczt-eA/s320/Slide7.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>I'm really excited when the teacher-incharge told me the wonderful news of "full-house" for Funky Knit Workshop on both days. This means Knotty Bicsie will be able to spread knitting as a therapeutic hobby to 50 new Funky Knitters!!! It's indeed an honour to be able to make crafting (knitting in this case) a modern way of life for everyone. & I give myself a pat on my shoulder with every new Funky Knitter that Knotty Bicsie successfully teach :) So 50pats this year... I can have a massage liao! Woohoo... :P<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">With 2 full classes this year, which means I had to bring more "Knotty Elves" along... :P</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MG2PcqAUaio/Tpf8yTH3KkI/AAAAAAAADTk/VdEvpy0Jrd4/s1600/Slide5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MG2PcqAUaio/Tpf8yTH3KkI/AAAAAAAADTk/VdEvpy0Jrd4/s320/Slide5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Meet Master Wenn Yann.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Wenn Yann is extremely experienced in her knitting & crochet. In fact, I would say she's much more experienced than me! Knotty Bicsie is so honoured to have her join our humble team. Wenn Yann's experience, patience & approachable personality makes everyone (students, other "Knotty Elves" & myself) simply adores & respects her :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qpXckAnEy-o/Tpf89ape-VI/AAAAAAAADTs/iosuDcrkK60/s1600/Slide3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qpXckAnEy-o/Tpf89ape-VI/AAAAAAAADTs/iosuDcrkK60/s320/Slide3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Meet Knotty Elf - Chenyen.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Chenyen has a long history with Knotty Bicsie. We 1st met some 4years ago, when I conducted my very 1st corporate knitting workshop @Anderson JC. Chenyen was 1 of the very enthusiastic students I met then. Some even went to MAAD to look for me after the workshop! It was indeed a very encouraging & heartwarming experience for me. It was also a pleasant surprise when Chenyen called me up 1 day to say she'd like to continue knitting & learn more about knitting. & the rest, well like they say, is history... From a young Funky Knitter, Chenyen has now bloomed into a wonderful Knotty Knitting Instructor (which never fails to surprise her friends)!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-azXMbHhV0HQ/Tpf9J-8pjWI/AAAAAAAADT0/66S3EelHZZo/s1600/Slide4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-azXMbHhV0HQ/Tpf9J-8pjWI/AAAAAAAADT0/66S3EelHZZo/s320/Slide4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Meet Knotty Elf - Gina.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Gina is an extremely talented crafter. Among all the handicrafts, u name it, she probably had properly learnt from a teacher & even has a proper tool set for them :P Since she's left-handed, I was initially apprehensive about teaching her to crochet. When we both finally picked up the courage to just give it a shot, I was immediately amazed at & impressed with Gina's psychomotor skills! Within minutes, she was crocheting like a right-handed Crochet Craze! Nothing can stop her now! ;) She was shy & unsure when I 1st approached her to join the Knotty Elf Team. Very glad I finally managed to convince her (after a lot of persuasion & assurance! :P). Look at that smile! I know the students really like her & I know she truly enjoyed herself too! :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kdUYldxR0OE/Tpf9UkQ4Y7I/AAAAAAAADT8/gAPqMixQclA/s1600/Slide2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kdUYldxR0OE/Tpf9UkQ4Y7I/AAAAAAAADT8/gAPqMixQclA/s320/Slide2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Meet our dear friend, Ayako.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ayako is not really our "official Knotty Elf", but she's always so willing to help when I need extra hands. Ayako is much more than just extra help. To me, Ayako's been a guide, a listening ear & a supportive friend. Thanks so much, my dearest friend Ayako!</div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7621784778390821135-7469183028115848917?l=knottybicsieclasses.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Knotty Bicsiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13838512561913400725noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621784778390821135.post-19269869692167741372011-06-30T22:43:00.000+08:002011-06-30T22:43:39.151+08:00Crochet Craze Sharon is Back in Action!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nAKgLFlf4cs/TgyLgUR8tsI/AAAAAAAADRE/zRXYRcnJEZw/s1600/Sharon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nAKgLFlf4cs/TgyLgUR8tsI/AAAAAAAADRE/zRXYRcnJEZw/s320/Sharon.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>"Dear Betsy, Thank u so much for helping me & guiding me to finish up this mouse!

She's also very chatty so this somehow turns every single session into a chatting session instead, but of course, not at the expense of my project :) It's very enjoyable to be able to learn knitting from someone who is so passionate and takes so much pride in her students' works that she wants them to take pictures with their projects so that she can keep them as momentos!

It was a very fun experience for both of us. Upon learning that I'm Knotty Bicsie, our teacher (the boss of Highlander Coffee) told me then that his teenage daughter is also keen on learning knitting! :) Met her on the 2nd day of our workshop. Very sweet & well-mannered young lady. We exchanged contacts, & we bid farewell... Finally, finally, finally... after 2years, Sophia FINALLY called to say she's ready to start her knitting journey, now that she's completed her 'O' Levels! haha... Here she is with her very 1st knitted project - a beautiful beret!<br /></div><div><img style="text-align: justify;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Iyb_fyxWbpE/S9T6_qLlzEI/AAAAAAAADCM/zrbPhKZuv2s/s320/sophia.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464268219468860482" /><div> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);">"Hi!

Hwa Chong Institution (College) engaged Knotty Bicsie to conduct a post-exam activity for the JC1s as part of their Sabbaticals Program. We had 15 students each day, & we were all busy wriggling our fingers from 9am-3pm on both days :) This time, besides my mum, I've also hired 1 of our Funky Knitters, Amy, to help conduct the workshop, since Amy was a student from Hwa Chong Institution too ;) Amy sure was a great help! O, & she's making full use of this new experience as a knitting instructor - she's writing a research paper on the various ways knitting is being taught to inculcate this culture in Singapore! How cool is that! ;) Mum & Amy, thank u so much for your good work done! :)</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Iyb_fyxWbpE/StvlQvkYfvI/AAAAAAAACw8/w6DyDhNqZaE/s320/Nicholas.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394157054516035314" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);">"Interactive & helpful workshop.

One day, I'll also design my own amigurumi! :P" - Jeslyn, 25th August 2009<br /></div><div> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.knottybicsie.com.sg/">Return to Main Page</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7621784778390821135-7849379127607729947?l=knottybicsieclasses.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Knotty Bicsiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13838512561913400725noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621784778390821135.post-87435060860556345302009-08-25T13:23:00.004+08:002009-08-25T13:29:28.291+08:00Meet Funky Knitter - Grace<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Iyb_fyxWbpE/SpN11_qgEXI/AAAAAAAACi0/D_-Xf7UQwpE/s1600-h/GraceBlog.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Iyb_fyxWbpE/SpN11_qgEXI/AAAAAAAACi0/D_-Xf7UQwpE/s320/GraceBlog.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373768350866346354" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><div style="text-align: justify;">"<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Dear Betsy, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">So glad I finally completed my sweater - thanks for your patience, guidance, encouragement and assistance along the way!

Hence, with my existing craft knowledge, I am able to gauge how far I can go, how good I want to be for future projects. However, I felt that 2hrs is not enough for for a first-time crochet enthusiast to finish up a handphone pouch (on our own). But it is a very good introductory lesson to get a taste of what hard work is all about. I had fun during her workshop, which explore the cor-ordination between fingers of 2 hands, unknowingly increase unnecessary stitches, and with a lot of help from Betsy, I am a proud owner of a iPod cover. :P</div><div style="text-align: justify; ">Thanks for the workshop, I would continue to practice my crochet skill next MAAD." - Elaine, 5th May 2009</div><div style="text-align: justify; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.knottybicsie.blogspot.com">Return to Main Page</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7621784778390821135-1849733557844153875?l=knottybicsieclasses.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Knotty Bicsiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13838512561913400725noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621784778390821135.post-39661059674726874952009-05-05T12:21:00.002+08:002009-05-05T12:27:15.918+08:00Meet Crochet Craze - Amanda & Pauline<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Iyb_fyxWbpE/Sf_AEdpEGlI/AAAAAAAACUQ/MMoJ8FKoCfg/s1600-h/AmandaNPauline.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Iyb_fyxWbpE/Sf_AEdpEGlI/AAAAAAAACUQ/MMoJ8FKoCfg/s320/AmandaNPauline.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332191666738829906" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Amanda & Pauline attended our Special Introductory Crochet Workshop @MAAD last Sunday.</div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">"Had a fun time learning the single crochet stitch.

In fact, the time it took to complete my scarf seems shorter than it is, and it certainly makes my holidays so much more fulfilling :)<br />A big THANK YOU to Betsy for helping me adequately grasp the foundations of this addictive craft, giving me confidence to try out other individual projects for more practice!

XD<br />Watch this space! hahahh... :)"</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> - Amy, 12th July 2008</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Times;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Times;"><a href="http://www.knottybicsie.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Return to Main Page</a></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7621784778390821135-8974851396785846710?l=knottybicsieclasses.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Knotty Bicsiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13838512561913400725noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621784778390821135.post-18857870791339832812008-07-08T22:52:00.000+08:002008-07-20T22:53:08.521+08:00Meet More Funky Knitters<img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Iyb_fyxWbpE/SHM4y7lC31I/AAAAAAAABRk/UZ-cVomvvZU/s320/JulyMAAD.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220578840690220882" />Last weekend at MAAD my products took a "background" position since I was running Funky Knit Workshop. Nevertheless, my Magic Mushroom was selling like hotcakes! I made 12pcs & now I'm only left with 2! Time to make more! yippee..! Knotty Fans, thank you for loving my Magic Mushrooms! ;)<div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Iyb_fyxWbpE/SHW6tO90JeI/AAAAAAAABTM/osu8JhmvB5M/s320/JulyFunkyKnit.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221284629280204258" />Funky Knit @MAAD over the weekend was a hit! There were so many new Funky Knitters, I hardly even got time for lunch! Looking at all the beautiful mobile phone pouches made by these 1st-time knitters, all the hard work was really worthwhile. Moreover, we all had fun!</div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div>Here's what some of the Funky Knitters have to say about their virgin knitting experience...</div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Iyb_fyxWbpE/SINQh9YV92I/AAAAAAAABT4/QIwl7wfMgvU/s320/HoMan.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225108537022478178" /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);">"</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);">I think the funky knitter is quite a useful introduction for those who had never tried knitting before. It teaches the fundamental needed to pick up this form of crafting but without being too technical. Its also rather affordable at $10 and we get to bring home a self-knitting handphone pouch, together with the knowledge to make more pouches. Overall, an interesting workshop and worth recommendation."</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;">- Ho Man, 20th July 2008</span></span></span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Iyb_fyxWbpE/SINQ1kIO51I/AAAAAAAABUA/t9S_rX0WS-k/s320/Corine.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225108873841403730" /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"> </span></div><div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">"D</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">ear Betsy... i luv my new hp</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> pouch. was apprehensive & afraid that knitting was difficult to pick up but your introductory lesson & patient coaching with tips along the way made the 2 hour session much fun ! i can't wait to knit myself a scarf for my trip to japan end sept. and if i ever get good enough, knit some more for my friends as xmas gifts ! i will check out your website soon & embark on my next project. </span></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">i am glad i bought the pom pom set coz now i can make myse<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">lf a pom pom bag for lunch :)"</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> - Corine, 10th July 2008</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Iyb_fyxWbpE/SHW6s9ZOKBI/AAAAAAAABTE/1fWBtQzK4u4/s320/Kate.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221284624563316754" /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"> </span></div><div><div><div> </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);">"</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);">Dear Betsy, I enjoyed my very 1st knitting class with your heartfelt teaching to complete this pc of project.

And most importantly, you let me understand every details of the knitting process rather than just jumping in to knit and complete the project. That is the most important factor. And i thank you for that. It will let me understand more about the knitting process. In short, you did a very good job teaching me. And of course i will see you again.
