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...

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...
