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 !!

Hojas y bayas Shawlette


I suddenly had the urge to try out a new pattern and went scourging for it at the ravelry site where people post free patterns for testing (with deadlines of course).

I found this extremely pretty shawlette pattern and I had lots of scrap yarn lying around after my Bavarian Crochet Yarn Eater blanket project.

Its a pretty crescent shaped shawlette. I did mine with lots of color, but you can also do it in a single color. It shot out pretty fast and had simple basic instructions - not complicated at all. Find pics of the finished project during blocking.

I started this project on Aug 22nd and finished it on Sep 6th and I worked only in the night. No time in the mornings, since I am off to work. So its a very fast quick project to delve into.

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...

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...
