COME BACK WITH A DOILY

Hello dear blogger friends..... 
     Sorry I could not meet all of you for past five months... really really i missed all your wonderful works... Actually my mother-in-law is detected with breast cancer from that time we were very busy in saving her from the disease.... We got good improvement in her health. We did not go for allopathy treatment... we are now treating her with naturopathy and siddha medicines.... So i stay with her in hospital.... occasionally we visit our home... So i couldn't do any of my crochet or any other craft works... but i got plenty of time in hospital.... for first two months we read almost all ramanichandran novels :) and other books from the nearest lending library...

I've already made one with the wool thread... and you can find the pattern link there.... And i love this outcome.... from point to point its 30 and a half inch in diameter... My mom has many old sarees... if i go to my mom's home next week my first job will be tearing the sarees in to rag rugs :)..... planned to make many floor mats......

CROCHETED FLOOR MAT USING SAREE

     For a long time i'm thinking to crochet a floor mat recycling the old sarees.... Now throwing away my laziness i made one.... the cutting part grabs more work... I've done this with the help of my mother-in-law. I got some ruffles as i attached a different variety of saree for the outer part.... but still love this one..... take a look and give me ideas about this to improve.....
