The sixth crochet project this winter is a new one. First up, this gorgeous yarn is a recent purchase. I got it in October 2022 and waited until last week to start a new project. I had seen several patterns for this yarn, but my mom suggested something that struck me. “Mostly patterns looks…

The fifth crochet project this winter is again all about using use all the left-over yarns.

Crochet Project | Winter 2022 | Two Corner German Virus Stitch Poncho
This winter began with finishing one of the ponchos I had begun in October 2021. After that, I was out of yarn. Whatever little I was left with, I used it all to learn the German Virus stitch. It looks so pretty. While I was learning, my 5-years-old niece Hafsa saw some of my old…
Crochet Project | Winter 2022 | Poncho Using Two Equals Sized Rectangles
Much like my other crochet projects, I started crocheting this project last winter: October 2021. The plan was to use both balls of yarn and crochet two identical rectangles (something like this). I would then do appropriate joining and make a sleeveless sweater top. However, this year, when I resumed the project, I realized that…
Crochet Project | Winter 2022 | Granny Stitch Baby Throw
The second crochet project this winter is again something I started in Winter 2021. I wanted to use all the left-over yarns and started crocheting a granny square blanket.

Crochet Project | Winter 2022 | Poncho Using Two Unequal Rectangles
I started crocheting this poncho last winter: October 2021. It is one year later, and I’m finally done. Almost! While this is still unfinished–I need a border on the the last edge, and I need to sew in all the loose ends; I simply love it. I have a thing for verigated yarn. I love…

A Retrospective: The week that was – 19w29
This weekend I binged watched an old Disney show, review coming up soon. I try, every month, to clear my TBR on GoodReads. I keep on adding more to the list, tch. I read Amal Unbound, finally. It has been sitting on my TBR for a year, literally! I had added it on June 27,…
A Retrospective: The week that was – 19w28
This week, I slowed down. Seriously, I put in effort to slow down. I read only two books. I tried reading new authors – both were surprisingly nice. I still crochet one round at a time. Yet again, I am overwhelmed with the number of ideas floating in my head, so much that I cannot…

The week was crazy. I read around thirty stories of varying length. Some, I have reviewed. Some are pending. Some did not leave any impression and therefore will not be reviewed. My birthday is nearing and I still haven’t worked on the final draft of the novel I wanted to publish on my birthday. I…

Upcoming Telefilm Reviews
I am not keeping well and a sick person needs to be pampered, needs additional forces to feel happy. As I have nothing better to do with my time, I read a lot of escapist romantic novels. I also watch a lot of happily-ever-after, feel-good telefilms. I started crocheting again when I went for the…
And back to crocheting
When summer began, I chose to forget that I work with yarn. Even holding the wool and crochet used to make me sweat. Besides, I had finally started to write fiction. And crocheting took a back-seat. Crocheting, sewing, writing, blogging – these are the hobbies my alter-ego possess. I am so proud of the other…
Six months into year 2018

Back From Break
Happy New Year Everyone! Been away from WordPress for a long time, or so it seems. I was overloaded with office work, and that followed by a 6 days long rejuvenating stay with family, although in a city where mercury was a little dipped. And, hold on to your seats, I made my first sale….
8 months of crocheting
December began, and changes the mood entirely. Makes me feel lazy, just want to sit in a warm cozy blanket and do nothing. If only, it was that easy. I have been swamped by the office work for past few weeks, and haven’t been able to crochet much. I hardly finished a cardigan for myself,…

Life is nothing but a deadline. And we keep on adding more. In today’s world, we spend our lives surrounded by gadgets and computers. We have become one ourselves, without realizing it. We spend our day in a systematic routine, strictly driven by time. Get up @0730 Start for work @ 0830 Out of office…
