Treasure for life!

This was one of my first projects when I learnt crochet.  Special thanks to my aunt, who kept pushing me to complete and to have patience to complete this project.  Using size 20  cotton crochet thread, this took about 15-18 months of work.  Finally gifted this treasure to my sister for her wedding!

Purple passion Afghan

Finally worked with full set of yarn!  I have always worked with fine threads which take quite a while to complete but turn out absolutely gorgeous and elegant.  This time I decided to work with Yarn.  Specially because my son was nagging me to make something for him.  Now there is a huge ongoing fight on who gets these.  May daughter trying to convince him that these are girl colors and my son saying that its ok he loves the colors in any case.  Lets see who gets this one!

This is a red heart pattern - http://www.redheart.com/free-patterns/passionate-about-purple-crochet-throw

Tissue Box Covers - frills and all

After doing couple of simple ones ...now I really wanted to add some sort of spice to these boxes.  Plain ones were OK for day to day use.  I was thinking more on terms of the having them in my car or even my office table!  Just to add a little contrasting color.

I also had few pieces of leftover scarf yarns..here is the result

Tissue Box Covers - simple ones

I had to split the tissue box covers in 3 categories.  The simple ones...simply to add color to those lifeless boxes.

With so many left over single ball of yarns I was experimenting on making something which would use these left overs

Here are the simple ones.

They fit  150 ply tissue box.

Valentine Hearts

Ok.. this one took ages to finish considering that it looks small and very easy.

In Jan I started making this filet pattern.  Pattern was quite easy to make.  I used acrylic metallic thread size 10.  It just took forever to complete but the final result was worth it!


Pattern for this is available at bottom of the page.

The pattern shows half of scarf.  The other half needs be followed from reverse to get the effect.  Work on rows 1 - 70 and then backwards 70 to 1
