Failed Projects

I had not been feeling like crafting for the last three months. I did some projects but nothing big, mending or alteration was what mainly happened for me. So not much to share but two mega failed projects

A pair of slippers and a headband for a little princess, sadly the slippers didn’t fit her (although I did make it for a year old size). I still have to make another pair for her and it’s been a month. I know I am being lazy but it looks like I am slowly getting my mojo back and soon I’ll update on this project.

A lace shrug made on request for Bhabhi. Sadly after washing I realised that the underarms are not going to fit her and so again I have to start a new one. I am still not sure about what to do with it.

Just finished knitting a dress for my daughter, which completes my New Year gift for both.

Aaku’s dress was ready by Jan. end  but I couldn’t post earlier.

Both the dresses are test knit for chashmerejunkie on Ravelry. Simple patterns, seamless designs, top down with a lot of positive ease.

Beautiful things

The most beautiful thing in world is to see your children smile and know that you are the reason behind that smile.

the border colour is bleeding but I like the effect it is giving to the tee 🙂 the knit is fitting perfectly and I like the length. it is a clever pattern from tincanknits worked upside down seamlessly.

summer fun day ten

Yes she is knitting!! Call me crazy…. when Achu went to see the doctor, Aaku kept asking me what should she do? I had things in mind but if I would start without Achu… she will be grumpy all day saying I only love Aaku not her. so I asked Aaku to make a dress for her doll and I ment a fabric dress, as I was knitting Aaku said she will knit a skirt for her doll! I had to show her…. she did one ribbing row, that means one full row of 17 sts k1p1.  🙂

and what else… if Aaku has done something how Achu will not do that

here is she with her knitted scarf

summer fun day seven and eight

Finishing touches to the mehandi in sample hand. They were proudly showing off their work later😁

Making strawberry yogurt shake in the kitchen….  The other one helped me in making the sandwiches and I couldn’t click that.

Other than this they were quite busy in water colour painting, which got the finishing touches today, so will be showing them later.
