Hexagon coaster - yellow n green

Finally I was able to conquor to use the metal hooks. Just recently purchased the anchor threads from madura coats that are normally used for crochetting. Chose hexagon motif # 30 from Beyond the square - crochet motifs.

I used Tulip size zero - 1.75mm.I picked from my stash TK8 cotton pearly yarn from china a multi color of green and yellow yarn for the center.Then used art 4054 [th 20] of madura coats and did 3 motifs each in color yellow and green. Did 7 motifs toally. Then sewed all the pieces with a blunt sewing needles. It looks adorable as green is my favourite.

All these yarns were purchased from Tina - Chennai. The chinese yarn costed rs 25/- per ball of 10 gms and the anchor yarns costed rs 40/- per ball of 20 gms for yellow and rs 80/- per ball for the green yarn.Sharing you some pictures

I had a lot of purple color cotton yarns and wanted to put it into good use.So took out my 6mm pony hook and randomly started to crochet. It is my own creation and did not follow any pattern.
It is 16 inches across and looks lovely.

# D23 - peach

I liked this peach color yarn from Oswal. It is a cotton yarn and thought I would make a cute doily. Hence completed this nice project. I have yet to master the cluster part, as the lasr row you can see some curls. Now I can see a cute doily that can be a useful coaster. Sharing the same with you.
HAPPY NEW YEAR

# 28 doily bulk orange

Had gone to Parrys corner with sudha [ sudha out of the box] and purchased some yarns. This time I wanted to try out some bulky yarns and purchased some pastel shades. Unfortunately I was finding it difficult to knit even with size 5 mm straight needles. My crochet needles from Pradhan Embroidery came just in time. I picked up the size 6 mm hook of Pony brand and started to crochet. I found it easy and was able to complete doing it. Sharing the same with you. The size of the doily is 14 inches and it will be a great placement mat.

 

# Doily brown

I started to do a doily using 1.75 mm metal hook and very thin acrylic yarn . Since the yarn was too thin , I did not complete the entire pattern. I just finished it half. It looks great.
