Behind the screens......

Here are some of the pics, which explain the making of our mementos.....

My friends- the best learners.......

On seeing my passion for crochet, I was asked to teach my classmates the basics of crochet. I tried a little to teach them the art of crochet. And I was amazed to see their work....

From the stash of yarn...

From the parcel I could able to see a huge variety of yarn from Germany and am confused to find a pattern of using them.

 First I tried a beanie cap for me....

Then I tried a shawl....

Among the yarn, there was a single piece of brown yarn, which my brother selected to make something for him. And I found a way......full of chain stitches by my little fingers..

 

Reason.....

The most precious moment is when you come to know that your loved ones have found your passion. The reason behind the gift is the following pic.

Stash of yarn.....

A week later another parcel reached home. When I opened it, I was stunned of seeing the different types of yarn....

On seeing those, I started to discover more products one by one....

My first b'day gift.......

It was my first birthday after our engagement and I was very eager to know my surprise gift from my fiancee.  A week before my birthday a parcel from Germany came home. I was guessing the types of gifts which could be inside the parcel....when I opened the parcel I was shocked to see a set of knitting needles.

The thing is, I know only to crochet and not to knit. Then I started to learn knitting only for the gifts and finally I made a shawl out of that.....

Art out of waste..

                               The huge remaining of yarn from my first order was spreading throughout my room, and my mom and grandma started scolding me. To reduce the waste i started to crochet them. It was a multicolored shawl. When i finished clearing off my yarn the wonderful blanket came out.

My initial crochet stitches...

                           It was during my class II summer holidays my mom taught me, my brother and cousins crocheting to keep us busy, calm and engaged. She taught us three stitches and we completed a bag. But then, we didn't know the name of those stitches. Later during my college days, I explored to find them as chain, single crochet and double crochet.

Here we are with the video graph of the initial stitches........

Crochet with loops...

                                The stitch which inspired me to do a purse is full of tiny loops and thus the name loop stitch. This is a slight edited version of double crochet.
