No holes Hexagon Baby Sweater

I loved the pattern when I saw it first. But I must admit, I hate the way my sweater has turned out. Somehow one side of the hexagon was much smaller than the other 5. So I feel the sweater is not in proportion. The sleeves are too big compared to body. It was quite easy to crochet though.

I only had 2 skeins of Hobby kids yarn. I could not find more of this anywhere here. So I used some other old yarn, don’t have details of that yarn as it is with me for a long time now, half used :) . I used up all the yarn.

I just hope this fits the baby.

Lullaby Layette

I loved this pattern when I saw it first time. I wasn’t aware it would take so long for me to finish(due to my laziness).
I felt the blanket would become too small with given instructions. So I increased it. I could not figure out how much yarn would be required. So ran out of the yarn twice and had to order them online twice, lots of money spent on shipping :( .

Pearl Jewelry – 1

dsc_2197
This is my latest craze. I want to learn jewelry making/beading. I bought lot of stuff last week and this week. This is my first complete set. Have so much to improve, but I already love it.

I got a big bunch of white beads(don’t know if they are pearls, but atleast they look like pearls). They are a collection of different sizes and slightly different shades. I thought I had used same shade for the necklace, was very careful, but when taking picture, I realized they are of slightly different shade. Have to be more careful next time. Don’t want to redo this one. So I will keep this as it is,

I also need different kind of thread. I don’t like the wire that I used to make the necklace. It is too stiff.
