these r what i made for my SIL n kid.The shawl is completely made of eyelash yarn...i like pista green yarn te best among te colours.
n so i made te cream n pista cap .I liked te combination so much tat i made one more wit te same colours n gav it to my sis. The pattern of her cap is tat of te red n black cap in te pic .I hv put te pic in te older posts ..oly thing is tat it has a pom pom extra.

Neways these shawl n caps are made of saimple double crochet n so nt very complicated...at te same time luks attractive..the key is te colour combi!!!!

Matching Booties too...

I had decided on making a matching baby booties for jovia which will go with her dress....finally i happened to find the correct pattern and gave it a try. I am not really impressed with how it turned out bt it goes perfectly well with the dress.
The pattern is Pink & White from Ravelry.

Baby sweater!!

Here is the pic of the Baby sweater I completed yest.
Its cald "Ombre waves" . U can find the pattern in Crochet Magazine , Oct 2005,Vol 23.
The texture of the sweatr luks really beautiful , mayb coz of the wavy pattern. Its worked simply on alternating sc and dc.

It wud fit a baby of 9-12 months..... i used a G hook and Lion Brand Baby soft yarn.
I am really happy with the ribbing at the edges coz it tuk me sm time to grasp it bt then it came out quite well...n now since i hv mastered it ...i can use it for any garment.

It wudnt take two whole weeks to complete the sweater i am sure...Its just tat I gt occupied wit Jovia's dress for sm time, tat i lost a bit of my intreat in tis one :)

One shud complete this in not more than 1 week i guess...provided u don't cook, watch television or go out , AND waste time oly for eating and sleeping ..

dedicating the rest of the time to finishing off Ombre waves...hee hee!
