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…
Category: My experiments with crocheting
This will be for all my experiments with art-by-hand. Currently my goal is only crocheting and sewing.
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….
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. It will help to relieve my crochet finger syndrome. That pain in my index finger fie to long hours of working with crochet hook,…
Pooled variegated cardigan
My current project is sort of best of both worlds – a combination of top down and bottom up crocheting. While it is a little bit more effort than usual, I feel more confident about the “finishing” of the project. I had 4 hanks of 56g each in my stash. The yarn is 3 ply…
6 months retrospective
So much has happened in past 6 months. My little sister got married, hurrah My younger brother got his first job in my city, moved here, and again back to home-town for his dream job My mother diagnosed with hypertension (sad) I put on 10 kilograms of weight, after that lost 5 kilograms, followed by…
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…
My first granny square project – completed
I stand corrected. I did manage to make some progress on one of my projects during the long weekend. Juggling between city tours for family and entertaining them at home, I tried to squeeze in a few squares per day. And completed it just a few minutes back. When I started working on this, sunburst…
My first granny square project
As I looked at my yarn stash, I notices a lot of small little balls of left over yarn. I decided to create something pretty, and useful from it. Why let it go waste, or just sit idle in one lonely corner? The colors,being leftover were totally random. So were the quantities. The first thing…
To crochet or not to crochet
As I have shared in my previous posts here, here and here; my crochet journey hasn’t been so long. Hardly 6 months, and a few projects old… And I’m questioning if in should continue or not. Here’s why. 2 days ago, I was feeling a bit agitated. I had a little headache, blurry vision, and…
My experiments with double strand crocheting – day#3
Continuing from where I left off, I did 10 rows, I get ~7 inches square. Now it’s a little too wide for shoulder and armhole depth is just about ok. Joining row: sc across till first corner, ch 6 and sl st into ch1 space of second corner. sc across till third corner, ch 6 and sl…
My experiment with double strand crocheting – day#1
I’m addicted to crocheting. I wish I could crochet for a living. No 9-to-5 job. Freedom of when to start, to work or not and seeing a (semi) beautiful project come along. Yes I’ll only be working on wearable for some more time before trying out jewellery etc. For simple reason that winter is around…
Two color topdown crochet cardigan
My first attempt of making a top down crochet cardigan was alright. Although it turned out to be a little too baggy for my size, people in my family really liked it. My sister a size bigger so I gifted it to her instead. All charged up with the positive feedback, I decided to make…
My new-found passion – Phase 2
So here I was, out of yarn and desperate to do more. I had 6-7 different colors of left over yarn and I started making rainblow clutch. Stuck again for supplies, I went my shop Amazon.in and bought this and this. I started making a bottom up small shell cardigan. It came out ok but…
My new-found Passion
So what keeps me busy after work. Of late, I have been hooked to the crochet hook, quite literally. It started when my younger sister brought a tiny bundle 25g of cotton yarn and a #13 hook and started to do her experiments with crocheting. She asked me for help when she was stuck. It…
