Basket Weave Container Challenge

Mission: is to crochet a custom made basket weave container that is decorated with a minimum of 3 crochet motifs attached to the container. (www.crochetchallenges.com)


Pattern: http://www.redheart.com/free-patterns/its-hoot-owl-container

What I was attempting was a garden theme, though sizing of the appliques was a bit haywire


This one a real challenge. The basket itself did not take much time at all. It was the theme building exercise which took soooo long, all the planning colors oh my!

What do you think?

The final look - Stitchcation

I am back. I have been away from quite sometime now.  Away only from the computer though I have completed loads of projects.

I did mention Stitch-cation Afghan Challenge last time.  Here is the outcome :)

This was a real challenge for me.  I have opened and re-opened the blocks to get them all same size and shape.  I was really thrilled with the out come.  Pattern can be found on

Summer Stitch-cation Afghan Challenge Announcement by www.thecrochetcrowd.com

I simply love doing TheCrochetCrowd challenges.  They really encourage you to try different techniques and methods and is fun at the same time.

What I am really waiting for is the Summer Stitch-cation Afghan Challenge - I am going yarn shopping soon!!

Finally a Facebook page

I have always kept debating (with myself of course) whether I should create a separate FB page for My Crochet or continue with RA Dazzle which my friend and me started.

I finally did create one check it out - Crochet Collectibles.  Though I will still continue to use the other one to showcase my work along with any Jewelry I might still make.

Go view and let give me your feedback!

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!
