[To the reader: If you have any advice or feedback to improve this series of Crochet training, email me at threeknits@gmail.com] Did you notice the different needles in my logo? Can you identify the crochet needle in them? The casual term people use to point out most yarn work is 'knitting.' Every crocheter will identify with me when I say this....

Though it takes much time, my all time favorite is to indulge in the intricacies of thin threads. As I weave creating patterns, making littles laces and joining them to form larger shapes. Talking of time - this is one such design where one complete square with 4 petals and 1 rose takes close to 5 hours. And joining this with another such square...

[UPDATE (11th Jan, 2018): Thanks to all the great advice received from people around. Most of you came to me asking to extend the dates, mostly due to the holiday season or your busy schedules. Having been in the same boat, I have instead changed the way this event will conclude. Facebook being one of the common platforms used by all participants...

I'm one of those ladies who does not like hair dangling on my face. In my jewellery collections are a few hairbands - mostly plastic. Something that peeves me most is when the edges pinch the back of my ears, sometimes causing terrible aches. I remembered all those lace and satin hairbands my mom bought for me when I was young.

Thread crochet so intricate yet so beautiful. Found this pattern with (I think) Russian instructions. Completed this in like 3 weeks and very happy with how it turned out. With this one done I need to reorder the white thread which I always keep in stock. Dimensions: Length - 26 inches (approx.) Width - 16 inches (approx.) Since it is made of cotton...

I have been working on this video for a few months now. For lack of time and being a first timer at editing videos, this was a challenge. I found this pattern for a flower motif very interesting and I'm planning to make a handbag by joining several of these motifs. But I'm not sure if that would ever be possible. Check the video below explaining how...

A post a day after valentines day but about valentines day only shows how busy I was on the V day. No it was not the usual 'I love you' and 'chocolates' day for me. But rather a lightbulb that glowed in my creative mind. I have been waiting to make a quilled earring, use a beehive technique for the first time ever and all this had to happen on the...

Mommy days and crazy schedules, its all a part of life. But most of all what's natural is satisfying and brings happiness. Nothing to crib about. Why I mention this? Our daily chores do not change, the artist within us does not change, and the 24 hours do not change. And within that family time, work time, home time, craft time a new time got added...

Before I begin with what is special in this post for all my crafter friends, I would like to share a quick update My blog posts were not being updated in the feeds and thus previous few posts may have skipped your attention. I am hoping it is corrected by google now :) Having said that and again hoping this would reach my creative friends, there...

Writing this post did not seem anything lesser than a project to me. I can blabber all I want about several things, but to write about myself requires some deep thought. So after all the thought I have put this post together. Thanks to Anna @ Hindustanka Blog - http://hindustanka.blogspot.in for the award - my first blog award. So the rules for...
