A little bit of Crochet and something new!!!

Hi Firends,
It feels so good to be back here and writing a new post.
Its been three months in Toronto now and really feels like yesterday that I was unpacking our bags. Time is just fleeting… I’ve been quite busy with a school going husband(yes you read it right 😉 ) and trying to learn new things. I’ve recently joined many groups on FB where extremely talented people have been posting their work. I had been wanting to try my hand at tatting, but lack of time in Bangalore never allowed me to experiment. But I guess this was the right time for tatting and little bit of macrame too 🙂

A few motifs and bracelets I tatted 🙂 You can find their tutorials on youtube. As a beginner I found the instructions very easy to follow.

I made this black bracelet for a cute little girl in the neighbourhood on her birthday 🙂

I added some charms to make it more girlie 🙂 Isn’t it cute ? And it even matched the birthday girl’s dress 🙂

Another in progress 🙂 Which of these do you like the most ?

Now coming to the macrame bracelet I made a few days back. Its the simplest one in macrame I guess. I followed a tutorial I found on youtube.

The two strands can be pulled to adjust the size of the bracelet. Black thread and wooden beads make a perfect combination for me 🙂

Diwali in Toronto was not a regular evening as we had been to a Diwali party. It was fun get together.
I made this as a part of Diwali CAL(Crochet Along) on a FB group.
