At first I wondered 'how do you pick colours when you don't know if its a girl or boy'. Then I started to think ,who on earth decides which colours should boys wear and which should girls..... No one right?

This is my very first project of 2020. Done on request (seriously not taking orders just yet) tried Cristal wave stitch for both slouchy and sweater, turned out good I think :)

Alert : Long post ahead and its not about the book
Request: To my fellow crocheters to read it
A while ago I started to experience this small pain near my upper arm. It was shallow and I ignored it thinking If I mention it ,will definitely get told of for crocheting such long hours from my in laws and hubby..then thought if I take one or two days break from crocheting my hands will be rested enough and I can continue my work like normal.

Wish it was that simple. I kept on working on my crochet projects while the pain got worse and worse it spread towards my shoulder, neck and back too which made it impossible not just to crochet but also to do my household chores and even to simply hug my kid!! So finally somewhat unwillingly I went to see an orthopedic who examined me and suggested physiotherapy for the sprain along with other medications.
It was my physiotherapist who explained everything completely and told the root cause of my pain is not crocheting but the posture I'm keeping myself in while crocheting.. My doctor kept asking me if I had any previous episodes of injury which I had non.. He was very amazed that I caused myself this much damage simply by sitting in wrong postures for hours and crocheting.
We often bent our neck down to check our mobiles, do our day to day work which will eventually end up causing damage to our cervical spin. And it might cause long lasting damages if ignored. I know we all know this info but we never bother to care about it till it affects us. So As I'm recovering, I thought if I share my experience, some of you might get benefit of it.. The thing is to practice right posture, get proper rest and get proper treatment and strengthening our body with right food and exercises .. Pls pls pls don't repeat the mistakes I did and take care of yourselves.
And my sweet ladies, Thank you for tagging me for crochet giveaways and to games...Sorry, I couldn't be a part of it this time but gald you thought of me 🤗 missing crochet more and more each day but promised myself not to hold the hook till I'm fully cured and rested. So till then I can enjoy crochet posts of you lads and indulge myself with my other love- reading

One year ago on this day I shared my first ever amigurumi doll on my page . before that I was only made clothings out of yarn and wasn't even thinking about amigurumi. But after this first doll (i called her laura) amigurumi has become the big part of yarn ray and my life too.
Recently after my 50th doll I decided to take a break from crocheting. But still miss it more and more each day. And cant wait to hold my hook back.
So all my newbie crochet sisters, if you know how to do sc, try a simple amigurumi without hesitation. Its not as hard as it looks. And you'll get better at it with each project just like I did (and am still learning lot of things) happy crocheting one and all 😘😘

Ganesha chaturthy - One of the most celebrated festival in our hindhu religion is just a week away and here is my hand made ganesha amigurumi ready to join the festivities.

The garland he is wearing is made by my mom on my request. Its a tradition to make cotton garlands to gods and goddesses (specially to gouri and ganesha) in my native culture. The garlands are often gifted by moms to daughters or sister in laws in this season to beautify the sculpture we worship

Ganesha pattern is from ,yarn and other supplies from

I say this repeatedly to my clients. I can't replicate any of mine or other crocheters creations.. Even when I follow a pattern I end up using my own ideas here and there to the project. And as these ideas are spontaneous I can't remember it the next time and end up with a different looking doll/ other items in hand 😂😃 I suppose that is the fun in being creative 😎 Have you been able to recreate the exact same thing twice? Do you guys just follow a pattern as it is end to end or are you just like me?

Butterfly baby rattle
What better ways to introduce colours to your baby's eyes than a cute and light rattle made of yarn.. It makes a little noice each time its moved so that'll be good to catch baby's eyes and ears and to keep curiosity on check right....
