A Crocheted Birthday Gift......

This is a birthday gift for my  my friend's daughters. A grany sauqre drawstring purse. I got this pattern through ravelry.com from http://yellowpinkandsparkly.blogspot.com/. Made five granny squares first. Then joined them to form a box with an open top. Five rows were added on the top of the box. Made a double crocheted string and passed it though chain space of second row from the top. After the box was finished, it took few days to work again on it. At last, it is finished.....

The original design was supposed to do with granny squares of five rows size. But I  made it with six. So, my drawstring purse is bigger than the original pattern. 

The box is finished...

Can be used for storage...

One more row to finish...

And the final product...

Crochet Fever...

During last week, we (me and my friend)  were in great enthusiasm thinking about learning Crochet. I tried knitting first, but lack of helping hands forced me to drop the idea. After dreaming of crochet for more than few months, we did some shopping to collect the essentials for crochet practice from the Mazoon Shopping Complex  in Ruwi. We bought some threads and crochet needles from there. Though we had a little knowledge about the materials needed, the shopper also helped us to choose the things. He might have thought of us mad, when he came to know that we are going to learn crochet and buying all these things.... No problem... we are ready to try Crochet... The main strength behind this thought is that we will get enough support from Nima & Ninu Jacob and also can make use of various video tutorials available in different websites and Youtube.

Anyway, there is nothing in having a trial. If it is success, we will continue doing it.  When I tried the chains and slip stitch,  I was greedy to do the Granny Square. And after some trials, the attempt was successful. Above is my first Granny Square.....There may be mistakes, but can improve...
