SPIKY DUAL COLOR MOBILE POUCH

 Hey you all,  Sorry I have been MIA for a long time. But I hardly spent time working on a craft the last couple yrs. I had been wanting to get a mobile pouch for a while now. I was also contemplating whether I should make one myself. The latter thought won and here we are. I used some leftover yarn from my stock. Blue / Yellow - the classic colour combination. So I decided to go with it. It turned out beautiful, better than I imagined. Here are some pics of the WIP. Contact me for the pattern.... ENJOY !!

Chickpet Visit

The craft meet up that I attend once a month had organized a visit to Chickpet on Ramzan day - main reason being to pick up some Macrame yarn. The visit was very fruitful and I ended up buying some good yarn and some crochet threads - I'll have to find something to do with it - maybe ill make a colorful tatted dress for my baby or something (in case its a girl - else ill have to find something else to do with it). I was overwhelmed by the amount of craft items we find there. I felt like buying anything and everything.  Oh, I forgot to say - I bought some large wooden beads to make my purse handle with. It was tough to find beads in that size. We had to look high and low. Since many of the stores sell in wholesale amounts there, its tough to get a small count of beads. Smaller ones are readily available. I just hope the purse turns out beautiful and its all worth the hunt. - So

Lacey Edged Scarf

I follow Judy on Facebook. Her page is called "Knitting Tips by Judy". She had recently put up a video on Lacey Edge Scarf with bulky yarn and I had absolutely loved it. Was wanting to try it and was wondering when I should go to buy some bulky yarn, when she put up the same pattern with thin yarn too. It looked absolutely beautiful. A few days back I had visited Chickpet and had bought some beautiful eyelash yarn from Ramdev Stores. Heres a pic. When I saw the second video by Judy, I suddenly remembered this yarn. I thought of making this scarf for my sister who is also currently carrying. She is ahead of me by 1.5 months. Since she wears scarves, I thought it would be a good memoir from me to her. I hope she will like it when its done. Although the pattern is not clearly visible on the photo, the scarf is turning out beautiful.  Will put up finished pics when done. Stay tuned !! - So. UPDATE: Here are the finished photos...

Portuguese Knitting

I recently re-started DH's sweater - it was almost complete the last time, but a tad bit (and by that I mean "very") large for him. He absolutely refused to wear it because he looked like a scarecrow with very loose clothing in it. So I had to redo the whole thing again. I started off by looking at a different pattern, as I just did not have enff patience left in me to redo the old one - moreover I had lost the pattern instructions :P Then, I went about finding a pattern for knitting in the round as that would require lesser time and effort (avoids the turning around of the work). Also, I had an inkling to learn continental method. I started off with continental (during the ribbing itself) so that I could get used to it by the time the pattern actually started. I totally loved the new method and just when I was getting used to it, I started having this weird pain in my left thumb (maybe bcoz of the death grip - as described by many) but could also be due to the newb...

Baby Slippers and Cap (Crochet)

Hello u'all, I am back to blogging, atleast for now :) I actually wanted to put up this post for a while now, but did not want to kill the surprise for a friend of mine. One of my close friends is expecting a baby boy by the end of this year and she had her baby shower a week back, for which I created these beautiful stuff for the baby. Since it was a surprise gift for her, I did not want to blog about it and let her know that I made these stuff.

Bavarian Crochet / Catherine Wheel / Yarn Eater Baby Blanket

I came across this pattern for a very gorgeous beautiful Bavarian crochet pattern when I was looking for baby blanket patterns for my sisters baby. At that time I knew my sister had a girl baby, and this seemed the perfect gift for the baby. I started off with a few yarns that I had bought during my Chickpet visit. When I started off with the blanket, I did not think much about how the rounds in the pattern would grow considerably bigger after every two rows. After two rows with each color, the woolen seemed not enough for more rows. They got over pretty soon. So I had to go shopping again for more yarn. This time I found pretty and bright colors which seemed perfect for a baby blanket and also I looked for multiple shades in the same colors. Here are some pics of the yarns I bought and the WIP blanket. Will update the post again when the entire blanket is done. Please leave your email ID in the comments section if you want the pattern.   More pics are yet to come...
