Christmas time

The minute I think about Christmas the two colors that come to my mind are RED and GREEN.



My friend was asking me to make something for her and she also sent me a package. It had various colors and the primary ones were green, yellow and red. I never knew it will have such a lovely coincidence. But this has happened. I crocheted her a scarf and was completely left with no time to make a cap that I planned for. Last minute, I started crocheting in the train and finally ended the night before I met her. Crocheted continuously for 5 hours and the lady sitting next to me appreciated that I have a lot of commitment ( blush blush).

The interesting story was, when I was crocheting my hat,  the lady who sat next to me ( she owns a documentation company) used to knit 20 years back and stopped due to professional commitments,  told me that she is for sure going to brush up her attic and get all those left over yarns and start knitting again. I was really happy hearing this.

Now for the pictures.
