Last week I got to see my daughter at New Delhi
to accompany her for her participation in a seminar”Samkalin Sahity me Stri
chetana” in Lakshmibai College - University
of Delhi for its golden jubilee celebrations -
obviously I have to proceed with some projects for the journey /to and fro for
trip.
. I had been
crocheting granny squares and bootties
for my grand daughter. And I packed some balls of yarn + a crochet hook.
My grand daughter is just beautiful and
already knows how to rock hand crocheted bootees. These are her booties by
her grand ma, which is a pattern that designed with pen and paper in my hand. Drawing
pattern is much more easy then the written one. As far as pattern writing is concern
I am very lazy I first complete certain projects and the pattern writing
lingers behind for months may be years

2 crocheting projects
on the go. Look how lovingly they are just dumped on the stool
Winding this yarn is what we did
while watching Navratri celebrations in community hall in front of our flat , from
our flat's balcany in Delhi. So we had
colour in our room too, just a different mode!

Next on that red and white chequered table are
the colourful granny squares I created
first for my best out of waste project in 1974. I swear I was not aware about
the name granny square at that time I just make the muffler/scarf out of
small-small balls of leftover yarn from my mother .At that time I was doing my
Bsc in home science.that scarf was my lovely during several years to warm my
years during cycling to my college. Then
it was used to put on mental in winter. Now it is here on the niche of my
daughter’s room in Delhi.

I have made this one many times before, that is
after the first project for my Bsc and
find it looks adorable in just about any combination of colours. There
are lots of great patterns in several
blog. I found another several beauty on Ravelry and crocheted in just a few hours from a single ball of acrylic
yarn. Can't wait to see this one modelled! It is the first blanket I am crocheting for my
Rehana. The enormous colours are such fun. . I love that you can make several
granny squares with any doily based
stitch pattern that you like. The possibilities are endless.
the ripple bolster
Finally finished my roll ripple pillow. I had to
extend the stuffing pouch inside. As it
turned out a co-worker bought it
from me. I had made her a baby boy blanket earlier in
the year and it
matched with it.
