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 !!

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 pretty quickly.

You can see the final cap in the pic above. As you can see, I have added a few touches of my own. Couldn't resist the urge to add a band around the cap with a bow (which she absolutely loves) !!

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...
