Fun Facts About Me #5
I am crazy about DIY projects. I get obsessed and addicted to stuff very easily. My current obsession is daydreaming. Wait, that’s always the number one obsession. Other notable addictions are writing, reading, stitching, crocheting and sulking. I know!
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…
A Retrospective: The week that was – 19w27
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
This year has been rewarding so far. I started pursuing the life long dream of writing. I am writing a lot this year. And I am reading a lot, a lot more than I write. Well, I have been reading since I was six. And books is all I have, after I’m done with the…
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,…
Chasing deadlines
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…

Scrap yarn granny blanket
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. It will help to relieve my crochet finger syndrome. That pain in my index finger fie to long hours of working with crochet hook,…
Getting Lacy
Enough with the crochet cardigans and shawls and beanies. Now is the time to create something delicate. I wanted to make some jewellery using crochet art. but the only thread I had, was too delicate. The thread crochet hook was smallest size and it is difficult to work with that hook and that yarn. The…
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…
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
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…
Perpetually Tentative
Tentative, this is exactly what our lives are. Don’t get me wrong. We all love to plan, down the most granular level item. We plan. Although, our planning has also become tentative. Being a programmer, I feel that my mind is also planning in a if-then-else, for-each, do-while manner. If this happens, then I will…
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…
