Jewelry making of a different kind

The latest fashion/craft trend amongst my folks is silk thread jewelry. If you have been anywhere near Pinterest, you would have seen these gorgeous, bright silk jewelry pieces. I fell in love with them as soon as I saw them. I ordered a bangle making kit which had all the supplies nicely curated already, so I didnt need to search for each of them by myself. Guess what, I plan to make customized sets for each of my pattu sarees! Ambitious much?

Anyhoo, here are some bangles that I made recently as gifts. Don't you love them? ;)

A cozy blanket for my sweetums

The husband and I were blessed with a precious little gift a while ago. And a gift as precious as this should be wrapped in something nice, don't you think? Ergo baby blanket.

Baby blanket for my precious little pumpkin

I made this baby blanket with Bernat Baby Blanket yarn using this pattern. The crochet pattern is pretty easy on the fingers and fun too - what with the big needle and the speed at which you can get this done. The yarn is so so soft and warm and fuzzy, that I am really tempted to crochet a bigger blanket to use as a throw for us adults. The next time you are in the yarn section of your local craft store, do give this bundle of yarn a squeeze, and you will know what I mean ;)
