Scrappy Crochet Square

Here is yet another loopy Granny square with a embossed flower. I have made this with all the scrap and "good for nothing" yarn that I had.


Crochet Slippers

Lots of chunky yarn, was wondering what could I use it for. Hubby wanted Crochet slippers too, so went on to do that. Here is what I came up with..


Cell Phone Pouch

Here is a Cell Phone Pouch that I crocheted for myself.  I have made a edging with the scrap yarn that I had. This can be very comfortably hung around the neck.

Crochet Beanie Cap

Just back from the yarn shop and I have bought  a whole big bag full of yarn!!! I just love all the colors and the quality of the yarn. Cant wait to start off and finish off all the yarn ..lol..

Since winter is here and my hubby wanted a Beanie for himself. So I have done a beanie cap according to how he wanted it to look like :-). I have used Chunky Yarn which keeps him when as he drives in the evening when its too cold here.

Here is the pic of the finished beanie cap.

Baby Crochet Dress

I had some baby yarn so thought of trying out a Baby Dress this time.  It came out well and I just love the yarn color.  Here is the outcome.. Made a little bow with the matching ribbon that I had.


Yet there was some yarn remaining so I thought of doing something to go with the dress.  I went on to make a  little beanie and there still more yarn remaining so I got to do the baby slipper or socks too. Now I have a whole set. 


Please do place a comment if you love what I do :-) ..Yes..I LOVE COMMENTS!!
