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…

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…
