Hi people, please don't think I am MIA....I just had a baby a couple of weeks back and am suffering the sleepless nights syndrome that accompanies a new born....I have been knitting as well as writing up patterns but haven't been able to finish anything.... Will get around to finishing projects when sanity returns :)....whenever that maybe...

Hello People,
I am back again!!! I have been working on a really long project that has taken me so long and I am not even done yet... Its a baby blanket that I designed.... I used the entrelac technique as I am so intrigued by that and I also created a fun pattern on the squares to make it more interesting and ofcourse with color change too! So all these techniques are fun and make this blanket a really fun project...

In the process I also learnt to knit backwards using the continental style...This makes things a little quicker as I constantly dont have to keep turning my work back and forth... Check out my work in progress....

Let me know what you guys think... Once I finish making this blanket I will write out tutorials for entrelac knitting as well as other techniques I used...
By the time you are done with this blanket, you will be an expert in the following -

1. knitting and purling ofcourse
2. Picking up stitches both knit and purl sides
3. increasing stitches (making stitches on purl side or knit side)
4. making bobbles
5. reading lace chart
6. Joining colors
7. Entrelac knitting cause thats what all these techniques lead to in the end!!

One blanket and you can become an intermediate knitter!

Well hello people! I have been so hard at work knitting so many things that I didnt blog about it and thought it was high time I did....

I made a leaf lace blanket for my baby to come.... I used the pattern I found on ravelry... I used a mixed colored yarn that I think does not do justice to the pattern but it still looks good never the less...

I also designed a hat that I saw online by another designer... It was so close to a design that I was working on that I just made a small diversion and recreated the other design... I haven't written out the pattern for that out yet though... Thats on my todo list... Here are pics of the hat....
