holy-Bhagwad Geeta, fancy knitting...


न हि प्रपश्यामि ममापनुद्याद्

यच्छोकमुच्छोषणमिन्द्रियाणाम् |
अवाप्य भूमावसपत्नमृद्धं
राज्यं सुराणामपि चाधिपत्यम् || 8||


BG 2.8:I can find no means of driving away this anguish that is drying up my senses. Even if I win a prosperous and unrivalled kingdom on the earth, or gain sovereignty like the celestial gods, I will be unable to dispel this grief.

i want to knit this..in near future  ...so for the easy access ..... i put it here.

Nostelgic with knitting


My Knitting History With Mommy

“As I get older, I just prefer to knit. ” ― Tracey Ullman
I used to grab my mommy’s knitting needles and unsuccessfully tried to knit.
One day my friend’s elder sis came to me and caught me doing play with mommy’s needles and she asked me to bring new ball of thread which was there for future use in almirah,and two sticks of our broom, she cut short the broom sticks peel off them to make fine for needles, cast on a bunch of stitches and showed me how to create stitch, teaching me how to knit via the method she acquainted with. I loved making the stitches, excited when I saw my favorite color, blue. I used to take those knitting needles in my bag while going to school and knit during my journey to school in air force coach. The conductor in the coach named Kalish stunned watching me knitting, and told to the coach driver, “see this little is knitting like a lady, how strange!!!”
Later on mommy taught me how to knit when I was 7 years old, due to my grabbing her knitting needles from her knitting bag. we were living at Jamnagar, Gujarat and I was in 3rd standard at Hindi High School there. One day  she took me to the Baniya shop at Air force station campus, bought me a ball of cotton thread that was variegated, three colours, and a set of steel needles pointed at both sides.
Mommy cast on a bunch of stitches for me and showed me how to create a knit stitch, 

teaching me how to knit via the English method. "I'll show you how to purl, 

sweetheart, when you make a knitted scarf," she informed me. I loved making the

 stitches, excited when I saw my favorite color, purple. Once my beginner scarf was 

completed, Mommy showed me how to make stockinette stitch by doing a knit row 

and then a purl row.later in life till now knitting and crocheting are my leisure 

activities.


XOXO.

Fancy crocheted box with lid, How-to Knit

Hello, this is Me.
I  have a small confession to make, and I hope you might be able to relate: I find it really difficult to throw away used glass jars and bottles. Yes, I recycle – of course I do – but I can’t help seeing the repurposing potential in things like stainless steel utensils as well. I have an ever-growing collection on my room’s  windowsill, and although I use them to store all sorts of things, from buttons to coins to crochet hooks, they’re mostly practical, rather than pretty. The solution? A quick and easy, but super-effective Hambly makeover.







How-to Knit 


Happy recycling!

my yarn and fabric stash, fairisley and aQuotes

I am going to improve my knitting skills by tackling fair isle, annoying tiny 3 ply wool, number 4 needles and lacy knitting.  I am also going to try sewing again.  I already have the yarn and the fabric I need for the projects I have earmarked and as such I'll expand my family’s wardrobe and save money at the same time.

will try my hand on fair isle

Quotes: “Properly practiced, knitting soothes the troubled spirit, and it doesn't hurt the untroubled spirit either.”
_   Elizabeth Zimmermann

Knitting is clothing made in spare moments, or round the fire, whenever women gathered together... It's something to celebrate-clothes made in love and service, something women have always done.”
Anne Bartlett (Author of Knitting) - Goodreads

Have a good day!

Beehive in my balcony, my showl in progress


Yes they found the right place for their habitation in the groove below........




Yesterdy while transplanting some newly grown marrigold flowers in our empty pots and doing cleaning in our balcony we (me and my niece) were stunned ..yes I think its past activity that is going on……… .and on…….for the past couple of months and interesting activity had been taking place in my little balcony garden….the photo will show the truth.sharing a few shots of it here.

My Bee Hive



It seems(see the picture below) its really a couple of months activity…..INDEED…..see hundreds of them settled there, they seemed to be enjoying the groove of plants with marrigolds..roses…………and beautiful red coleus, the keli herb, the elephant plants..and many others……..

It seems its couple of months activity…..INDEED…..see hundreds of them settled there, they seemed to be enjoying the groove of plants with marrigolds..roses…………and beautiful red cronta……..


my to do hooky thing today is THIS ONE

My shawl in progress...
Shawl is not easy to make, its a lengthy process, and when the  needles are large(min here are NO.4). While the pattern is messy one but you need to be attentive all the time for the pattern, the yarn is 3 ply acrylic.   
its still very cozy knit..

fabric yarn basket at my arms length is easy to grasp the yarn in need...

it looks bulky, but it not.....

pattern says knit one ,yarn over and knit two together till the end ,on the wrong side knit all the stitches again repeat beginning row for the pattern these two rows make the pattern 




I like to sit on my balcony and knit when the days are as nice and warm as they are now. In my head I have seen yarns fall from the table onto the floor and entangle my hairs, sometime   it is attacked by the neighbor's red-haired cat ... No fun! Even if one is careful and extra careful, the nest always falls to the floor sometimes. 

Then I came up with the amazing idea of ​​putting the yarn in one of the basket I made with my fabric and put it on the table. Vips! No falls  on the floor,  . Oh, how smart I think I am ;-) 

I made this fabric basket  myself,I want to make another one,  but now I have so many knitting projects going on that go ahead.

Now the knitwear will give way to the balcony for matar paneer  to be cooked on our gas. Mmmm ... lovely Happy days !!


XOXO

be lated father's day 19 june 2010, continental knitting - my way....

Father's Day is a recognized public holiday in Lithuania and some parts of Spain and was regarded as such in Italy until 1977. It is a national holiday in Estonia, Samoa, and equivalently in South Korea, where it is celebrated as Parents' Day. The holiday complements similar celebrations honoring family members, such as Mother's Day, Siblings Day, and Grandparents' Day. India Father's Day is not an original custom of India but is rather followed by the influence of the western world. It is observed on the third Sunday of June. This event is not a public holiday. The day is usually celebrated only in larger cities like Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, New Delhi, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Pune and others. It is a huge holiday in the North Eastern state of Nagaland and Kerala where prayers are held in church on Sunday Services. After this day was first observed in the United States in 1908 and gradually gained popularity, Indian metropolitan cities, much later, followed suit by recognising this event. In India, the day is usually celebrated with children giving gifts such as greeting cards, electronic gadgets, shirts, gold necklaces, coffee mugs or books to their fathers. Indonesia In Indonesia, Father's Day is celebrated on 12 November and is not a public holiday. Father's Day in Indonesia was first declared in 2006 in Surakarta City Hall attended by hundreds of people from various community groups, including people from community of inter-religion communication. Because of its recent declaration, there is not much hype about the celebration, compared to the celebration of Mother's Day on 22 December.Google also created its doodle for Indonesia in 2019 and 2020. Israel In Israel, Father's Day is usually celebrated as part of Family Day on 30 Shevat, though some celebrate on 1 May together with Workers' Day or Labor Day. Japan In Japan, Father's Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June and is not a public holiday. Common presents are sake, shochu, fashion items, some kinds of gourmet food, sports equipment and various sweets. Kazakhstan Since 2012, Kazakhstan celebrates Defender of the Fatherland Day to commemorate the foundation of the armed forces. It is also called Army Day and it is celebrated on 7 May. Kazakh society perceives it as ‘a men’s day’ and honoring men so it is vaguely a celebration of fathers. (source:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father%27s_Day) Good buy dad!!!
