Dil maange more.....

Something or the other is keeping me away from posting here. Though I had a very creative time all these days , I couldn't update :(

These are the few FOs.

A quick work.Mobile pouch for my Sis's MIL .Just alternating rows of Sc,Hdc and Dc.

Doilies.... When I see those beautiful doilies crocheted in fine thread , I wonder how people create such a magic. Here I have tried mine.It is only a try and I very well understood that a lot of patience is required to crochet with threads.Hey hey i don't have any and I'm gonna cultivate the virtue by continuing Threadwork:)

Here comes my beauties!






I blocked both the doilies with fabric stiffner .Yet I can see the clumsiness at edges.Practice makes a man perfect:) :) :)

A small book mark from left over thread of the pineapple doily:) Yipeee yep! I also made a mobile cozy for myself which I started using before I could take a snap .Silly excuse!

All these small things makes me happy !Happy crocheting:)

Shells & DC's

Days are passing by and WIP's are hibernating.... I wanted to crochet something which winds up fast and hurray! I did a beanie and drawstring bag..
Found some gratification in finishing a baby beanie in two hours and something wearable too.

It is crocheted for my niece. Tried hard for a modeled photograph- Alas! with all head bobbing and shaking,the beanie stays on her head for not less than 2 minutes and my photography skills are not too good to capture it in seconds:(

First time that I crocheted a rose. Hope it turned out well!





Here comes the drawstring bag- the surukupai (Tamil). My great grand ma used to have a drawstring bag made up of beautiful pieces of left over fabrics and it used to accompany her always carrying her tobacco and knick knacks.Just felt nostalgic :) This is my version of surukupai(drawstring bag) . Gifted it to my sister who is using it as a purse.




Happy Crocheting:)

Just like knitted!

Since i started crocheting I wanted to do a scarf for my man. Rummaging the net for the pattern I laid my eyes on a beautiful scarf pattern with ribs. Alas! It is a knitting pattern.Again started my hunt in the web world and hurray! I found a simple crochet technique to create the ribbings just like knitting.
Then what???
Ordered for yarn in Pony craftstore which is 100% wool and 8ply thick. Here is the yarn that i got from Pony store.



The Ribbed Scarf that I crocheted! He just loved this Scarf and me too:) This is my New year gift for him..






HAPPY CROCHETING:)
