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 !!

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.

Summer cap for Chhavi

Chhavi poses in her new cap The past few days have been really sunny here in Mangalore (yes, I said sunny, even during the monsoons. Otherwise its always always and I repeat always raining in monsoon season). I thought that to avoid a sunstroke, its good to put a cap on Chhavi, when she's dropped to and picked up from her play school. I had a cap of mine lying around, but it proved too big for her (even on the tightest setting. Of course, I bought a very cute one online which had some cartoons and stuff (it said 3 - 8 yrs), but that turned out to be very small for her (a 2 yr 8 month old). I wonder how its gonna fit a 3 yr old, let alone an 8 yr old !!! Anyways, I had some multi-color cotton thread lying around and decided to put my knitting / crochet talent to some good use. Woollen would be too much in this already scorching heat. So I went on a quest to find some good patterns and decided on this one here . Its a fun and easy project which got over p...
