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…

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,…

A stash buster crocheting project
One day shrug project
Last Saturday, I finished my ambitious cardigan, first attempt of working with fine yarn. It turned out great. I thought I’ll take a break from hook for a couple of days.

Cardigan vs shawl
I’ve crocheted 3 cardigans and 1 shawl so far. As I am finishing about to the 4th cardigan, and looking at my yarn stock to start another project in parallel. I decided to use the left over 3ply yarn for doing a diamond stitch. I started to wonder again – what should I do: cardigan…
6 months retrospective

Finally rippled
So my first ever crochet project is finally done. As I mentioned in my earlier posts, this project was not planned well. I had very small quantity of yarn. I added another color, again without calculating if it would be sufficient or not. And it was not a good feeling. This project made me depressed, it…
