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 !!

Mile-A-Minute Scarf

I found this pattern when I bought Redheart yarn. I am not trying to advertise / promote yarns here but Redheart always gives away a free pattern on the back of the yarn cover.  Its called a Mile-A-Minute scarf because it builds up very fast. I took around 3 hours tops to make this scarf, and I am a beginner and I work very slowly. Also, this is another reversible scarf pattern that I found that was cute and doable. I am still debating on who looks good in this scarf, which I am going to decide soon enough, but as of now, there are no owners :)

Reversible Jumbo Cable Scarf

I created this scarf for a person who is very definitive about her tastes. She wanted a cable scarf in red :) Cable patterns turn out good with bulky yarns and I dint have a bulky yarn with me, nor could I find a good one in the stores. So, I used two strands of red 'hot' yarn to create this bulky cable scarf. This made the scarf pretty bulky and also, it gave a different texture to the scarf. This scarf can keep you extremely warm in winter. The scarf is a reversible project, knitted with a central cable structure and some edging on the sides, with tassels for elegance and fashion.

Apple Leaf Edged Scarf with picots

Just completed this scarf for one of my dear friends. She wanted the apple leaf lace edging on her scarf and I added a few of my own touches to the scarf :) The apple leaf edging is a knitted edging. However I added a scarf to it which was crocheted (from my imagination) and then I also added a picot edging on the other side, because I wanted to try out the picot work.

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.

WIP Cathedral Window Patchwork Project

After a long long time, I am back to crafting. The most interesting thing that I wanted to start AND complete was the cathedral window patchwork. All my friends in the craft meet-up had completed some amazing looking projects and I fell in love with the concept instantly. Cathedral Window project is basically a hand stitched patchwork, which comprises of contrasting pieces of cloth for the background and foreground, stitched so that it creates an illusion of small windows in the completed project. Of course, some people would prefer to machine stitch it, but the effect is so much better when its hand stitched. I started it off a month back and did the base in a plain pista green colored cloth and in the meet-up, when everyone met, I got the instructions from them on how to proceed with the coloured pieces for the foreground to depict the windows. Here are some pics from the project. Close Up View of the cathedral window Look at the bottom: Starting the cathedral window stitc...
