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

Beanie Hats for Men!

Seeing me crocheting most of the time or buying yarn which was actually not required, said my husband one day "Why cant you do something useful and make some hats for me".  He is bald (by choice) and constantly needs to wear one as he travels by metro.

His birthday was coming up this week and I decided to order some yarn to do just this.  Of course all I needed was an excuse to buy more yarn!

Last Project for 2013

This tiny little slip on key ring was my last project in year 2013!

It was such a pleasure working on this project.  I am still working on getting shapes and sizes correct for slip ons so this was an achievement.

New year, new beginnings and new styles!

Happy New Year to everyone!

A new year with new beginnings.  Of course all I want is just more threads and yarn!  I did buy a whole new lot with all the colours I could find while on my vacation in India.  Will be posting the pic shortly.

Pineapple Lace!

Back to my white threads and vintage pineapples :).

I simply love making vintage designs and Pineapples simple add elegance to any creation.  This is not my design. Unfortunately I cant find the blog from where I took this design.

This one is a table topper size 38 x 38 inches.

Ruffled Place Mat

I did love all the scarves I made.   Now I do have leftover from all these scarves.  The yearn to experiment never ends!

This is what I tried:

Aren't these Gorgeous!!

Silk Threads

Its been a while since I have been working with Embroidery floss.  I recently received huge stock of silk embroidery threads.

Of course I was thrilled to bits to see so many vibrant colors.

Alas my excitement was very short lived!

It was an experience to work with silk threads - constantly slipping out of my fingers.  Had to join lots of them to get a single earring!  What do you think of the outcome?
