Back From a Break
Hello! It's been longer than I thought since my last update. I'd been away attending a wedding, followed by related ceremonies and functions (which spanned days, with breaks in between.) This is the same function for which I'd added a tassel fringe to the saree I'd intended to wear. I quite enjoyed wearing sarees and … Continue reading Back From a Break
The Design It Yourself SAL – Done!
Hello! I'm over the moon since I finally finished the Design It Yourself SAL. It's my first FO (finished object) for the year, and here's how it looks framed - Isn't it a beauty? I'm so in love with the designs and patterns on this one. I think Madeleine, the creator, has outdone herself here. … Continue reading The Design It Yourself SAL – Done!
Dynamic Squares Throws: Small Squares 1-4
Hello! Since the last time I left off on my Dynamic Squares throws (pattern by Susan Heyn), I've worked on four of my small squares. That's 4 of 16 done. I'd wondered if the squares would work up faster than the earlier rectangles, and I'm so pleased to have discovered that they do indeed. It's … Continue reading Dynamic Squares Throws: Small Squares 1-4
Sari Tassel Fringes
Indian festivals and ceremonies are opportunities to dress up, and in South India, whenever possible, we wear saris / sarees for these occasions. Though I love saris, I find wearing one in hot weather hard to manage, unless I'm to spend most of the ceremony in air-conditioned or similar cooler environments. We have a wedding … Continue reading Sari Tassel Fringes
Design it Yourself SAL /5
I managed to finish the 5th set of sections in this SAL, and wow, this one is definitely something else! (It's the one the needle in my picture is pointing to, and its symmetric partner on the other side.) Madeleine, the SAL designer, took inspiration from the interlaced patterns that are often found in Islamic … Continue reading Design it Yourself SAL /5
Progress on Projects

I've realized it's been a while since I updated on my projects, and to be frank, I've only made just enough progress during this period to qualify for an update. 🙂 Dynamic Squares Throws by Susan Heyn Where's the champagne, coz I've now created all 16 rectangles in this project!! I've been waiting a … Continue reading Progress on Projects
Almost There
I'm still working on my coding projects and some more commitments for my mixed media projects, but surprisingly, I've also made more progress on my fiber-n-floss projects than I'd expected (but still less than I'd have liked.) I'm hoping that in a month or so, when my other commitments have reduced, I can split time … Continue reading Almost There
A Milestone is Reached–Yay!
I've not been working much on my fiber crafts lately. (I know you hear me say this a lot. 😉 ) This month, I've been absorbed in an interesting coding project for my personal use, and when I'm not on it, I've had to concentrate a bit on my mixed media projects due to prior … Continue reading A Milestone is Reached–Yay!
Things Old and New
Hello, hello! I'm back with updates on some of my old projects, and starts on some new ones. (Well, one new one. Plus maybe half a start on pondering about a new pursuit.) Dynamic Squares Throws by Susan Heyn I haven't been crocheting much lately, and made three more rectangles whenever I did crochet. There's … Continue reading Things Old and New
