Sneak Peak

I started doing one of my favorite throw cover, which I recently came across the blog, wood and wool stool. I went to hobby lobby, collected my bunch of favorite colors and started this project immediately. Here is a sneak peak of it

A similar pattern throw which I came across the vogue patterns

I have actually fallen in love with this pattern

In the making..

When I see something interesting and beautiful, I always wish to make one for me. One such thing I was recently impressed and loved was these granny squares pillow cover. I was so impressed, I wanted to make one for me really quick. Loved the color and pattern very much. I really appreciate the taste for colors and the way its been made. Now this has really inspired me in sewing too. But hubby promised will get me a sewing machine immediately after we move to our new place. Keeping my fingers crossed for the new transition and interest in our life. :)

How can one forget their first project. Yes, this is my first project in Knitting.

Out of boredom and in search of pursuing a hobby seriously, I landed up here - Arcadia Knitting.  Sharon and Kathy were two amazing people who engaged my Saturday and Sunday afternoons so fruitfully, I learned Knitting with a great interest. If you are in Chicago and wanna learn Knitting, Arcadia Knitting is your place.

Well coming back to my first project, from the beginning baby category was my fav category.

I first saw this pattern http://knittingfromtheheart.blogspot.com/ I thoroughly enjoyed doing my first doll.

It gives an immense satisfaction when the end product is something nice and beautiful. The most happiest part is when you give to a kid as a gift. Atleast I get an immense satisfaction when I gift I child which I make. Its a wonderful feel and joy when I see a smile on the kids when they receive these gifts

Organizer

Clumsy knitting needles everywhere and finding it hard to search the required needle I want is one big problem I face always. I found this simple solution on Design*Sponge. Planning to make one soon.. http://www.designspongeonline.com/2011/03/diy-project-knitting-needle-case.html
