CROCHET BLANKET STITCH BOTTLE POUCH

Hi friends....
     Hwz the rainy season... i feel cold and sleepy... but what to do... have so many works. So in order to keep me awake i have to spend some time for myself in  interesting way. Is there any thing interesting than crocheting? 
     This week i learnt the blanket stitch... from here i made a sample piece and turned that into a bottle pouch.... see how that is....

I liked the handle part very much :) 

It needs slim bottle so for the sake of picturing i put a torch light in it... i think in future it will become a flower vase hanger :)

CROCHET WALL HANGING WITH FLOWERS AND BASKET WEAVE STITCH

Hello......
     Again i left a long gap.... Last time i told about the doily.... as i'm working the doily in woolen yarn there is some problem in finishing it.... but I've crocheted a wall hanging for PASSIONATE ABOUT CROCHET'S September CAL. The CAL is a wall hanging with five different flowers and basket weave stitch is a must.... see how i tried... but in a hurry my writing part is an utter flop.

PATTU SAREE BLOUSE NECKLINE EMBROIDERY

Hello friends.....
     Here is another attempt on saree blouse neckline embroidery.... As i had very little time i managed to do a simple work on pattu (silk) saree blouse.... but i think this is enough for this saree as the jari is thin one. I used a metallic hand embroidery thread and tiny beads and stones..... but the photos doesn't do justice.... i didnot get the original color.... actually the blouse a blue tinted with peacock green... here it looks like dark blue... take a look on it.

This is the hand design

This is the hand design 

This is the front side of the blouse
