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…

Crochet Project | Winter 2022 | Solid Granny Stitch Blanket
The fifth crochet project this winter is again all about using use all the left-over yarns. I have already done a granny stitch blanket, and I wanted to do something different, so I opted for a solid granny stitch this time. The first ball of left-over yarn is a gorgeous teal colour. After finishing…
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. This winter, as my neice was born, I finished the blanket and gifted to my 2-months-old neice Mariyam. I should have stopped using the fuschia yarn…
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 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…
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…
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…
