All Season Shrug

It's raining outside and I feel like putting together something cozy for myself, so I started this shrug here.

It indeed is cozy but light again as the yarn I am using is a cotton knitting yarn of size 4. Because of its weight and texture, it can be worn in any kind of weather so I termed it as an "all weather shrug".

I chose an ombré delight of pink, peach, and yellow and it simply looks fabulous on me. 

I have started on it already, but with a baby on board who demands my undivided attention, I am crocheting in a snail's pace, so I don't exactly know when I'll be done with it and when I get to show it off here!

A sample swatch here goes:

Multipurpose basket

A thank you gift for my mother, this basket I crocheted using two contrasting colored yarn which made it look so great.

It's been a long time since I wrote. Yes, seems like I missed a month from my life. Haha, it's just that shifting back home has made me that responsible housewife apart from my motherly duties.
Taking care of our little one has not been a cakewalk exactly, yet me and Veeru have been enjoying our life back together once again.

Coming back to the crochet project that I am actually writing about, I had made a small sized basket for my mother as a thank you gift for all the help she had been all these months, during and post my pregnancy.
Well, she said it was put to great use. When asked to explain, she merely said that she was using it as a flower basket to hold flowers in it for her morning puja.

Here are some clicks. Someday I'll make a larger one! I so love making baskets.
