Granny Mandala

A friend has claimed it!! Made this about three months back, but had forgotten about it. A friend found it in my stash and said she wants it. Blocked it now and it is ready to be given!

More flowers!!

I told you I will make more of these flowers. I still have not decided what to do with them. Maybe a cushion cover, or I might just join them and keep them on a table.

Right now just enjoying the process of making them. Might make 4 or 5 more and then decide what to do with them.

Japanese Flower Motif

Had to try making these after seeing them in Attic24 and Suz Place. Here is my version. I took help from these blogs and tried my best to read a chart for the first time. The original Pattern is from Motif Book by Nihon Vogue .

Crocheted Cushion Done!!

Yippeeeee!! I finished my crocheted cushion and lovvve it (Happy Dance)!! The pattern for the squares are from here. I have attached it to the front of a ready made cushion cover. I told you I will do some cheating :)

I joined the squares
Gave a border of sc
Then a round of dc
Then 2 dc in every dc of previous row
This gives you a frilly border

Spidey Afghan

Presenting a spidey blankie made for my little superhero. Wanted to make one since a long long time. I planned to finish it by his birthday last december. But then could only finish it in the new year. But he is very excited to see it finally completed. The yarn used has small multicolored bits throughout, which looks great.

He sits on it while watching cartoons, uses it as a blanket and he has a long list of other ways of using it as well. Apparently the more he uses it the more power he gets. Yeah!! Me happy to see it so well received.

I have finished working on my crocheted cushion. More about it later.

Owl Clips!!

Now that I have learnt to knit cables, yesterday I decided to make something that I wanted to make since so long. They are uber cute!! Don't you agree?

I lovvve bargains!! Who doesn't!!

Yesterday was a day filled with bargain shopping. First we went to our local yarn store(which is a bookstore that also sells craft related items). There they had Sublime Merino yarn for throwaway prices. I couldnt resist and this is what I ended up with. I bought 33 balls of yarn. Its all in very good condition. The balls just look a bit messy, but not at all tangled.

I felt a bit guilty after this. But did I stop with this? No. Next stop was Ikea. We went there because my brother wanted to look for something. But he did not buy anything and this is what I ended up with. I got these from the As Is section for less than half the price and again I couldn't resist. I was a very bad girl, I know. But once in a while is Ok I guess. Don't you agree?
