Krishnaa in my niche...my daughter's love for krishna, my shawl in progress...

I LOVE Krishna as chariot to Arjuna and my daughter discribes her love for Krishna, Mary and Mona lisa.........

Here is another Krishna chariot to Arjuna in the Kurukshetra_War in my niche..this sculpture was created by some people in front of my house !!!! Years back........some vendors came roaming in the streets of the city..they used to create sculptures of God and Goddesses, birds and other things using olden kitchen pots or any metal...they used to melt the metal in newly created furnaces with coal in the hole dug on the roadside and with the help of several molds they stacked in their big rag bags. Yes they came and destroyed the heritage of olden big traditional vessels of people .....i was also caught trapped and they sculptured this one for me! with my old TV antenna...

OH! i love this niche

this is another one with molten aluminium pan! Yes not the same as the previous sculpture!!! Just examine the legs of horses!!!! and see the difference!!!!!!!!

this one is the same as its previous one.............

Here i took the photo on navy blue velvet!

this photo is on maroon silk!!!!

O LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!O KRISHNA!KRISHNA!!!!!!!!!KRISHNA!!!!!!!!! I PRAY YOU !!!!!!!!DO GOOD TO ALL ON EARTH!!!!!!!!!

today i stumbled upon someone's blog and found her poem about her love for Krishna and Mary_ and Mona_Lisa

Mary_..................................Mona_Lisa

उस वक्त मैं प्रेम में थी

अब मैं कृष्ण की कलाओं में उतर चुकी हूँ

द्रोप्ती का लम्बा वस्त्र बनकर एक चमत्कार में ढल चुकी हूँ

मैंने साध लिया है सीता का अखंड सौभग्य

आजातशत्रु के खेमे में जाकर खड़ी देखती हूँ

मरियम-सी उदासी मेरे तलुओं पर चिपक गई है

मेरी स्मित में मोनोलिसा के होंठों का भेद शामिल हो चुका है

हवाओं के अणुओं में बंद सरसराती लिपि

व्याकरण समेत पढ़ ली है मैंने

कहने की ज़रूरत नहीं

मैं इस वक़्त प्रेम में हूँ।

and a comment on her poems

विपिन की कविताएं पढना हमेशा अलग सुकून देता है, उसका लिखना- छपना इस मामले में खास है कि उसमें लडकियों वाली अतिरिक्त नफासत शायद ही कभी मिले.. छपने को लेकर निहायत निर्मोही ! हरियाणवी खांटीपन उसके वुजूद में तारी रहता है, उसकी यूएसपी वही है! (मुझे पता है आज इस तारीफ पर वह डांट सकती है, नाराज हो सकती है ) कोई संपादक ऑनलाइन उठा के छाप दे तो शुक्रिया सुनने का मोह ना रखे! फिर भी उसकी आवाज कायम है, बिना हल्ला मचाए ..
सुभाष नीरव प्यारे भाई हैं.. उन्होंने उसकी कविताएं 'वाटिका' में प्रकाशित की हैं, एक अच्छे दोस्त कवि की कविताओं को हम तक पहुचाने के लिए उन्हें शुक्रिया मुझे ही कहना चाहिए ..
कहती रहो विपिन !
''जमाने की तिरछी नज़रों पर/ हर बार की तरह खाक डालूँगी''

Hop on over HERE to read rest of her poems over there.

My favorite moment. 
Everything on a stick. 
Gasp. 

It's magical every time. 
That's when the knitting goes from being a few bits that are knitted a little here and there, and suddenly you catch what it's going to be. Inside all the masks a shawl appears.  

see and be seen...

How cool is this?

the pattern

It is a shared pleasure, as this moment contains the rounds with decidedly same stitches in each round, and are the momentous  rounds, but hello! - it's a shawl  here soon! 

Other good knitting moments are when making tassels of the shawl, and suddenly wrapping  and wrapping again and again.   Oi! You work  in 3D! Three-dimensional freezing down the back.

Finally, I will have my third favorite moment on my shawl; when you bind the tessels and put the scissors to cut them evenly  so that the shawl  is suddenly a fabric to wrap around your neck and shoulders. Horror and fun all at once. 

What is your favorite moment in knitting?

I got hold of this three ply yarn. It was a friend who advised me that this ingenious invention existed. 

It is 0.5 mm thick, 3 strands and some  "staple" is 100 meters and this cost 25, - The yarn can be purchased from patel nagar market,hisar.

Now I'll just figure out something cool to use this 3-ply yarn for. 

Still having a great weekend!

XOXO
