A few days back, a good friend gifted me her absolutely fantastic
stash of yarn, and I decided to make stuff for her daughter, lawful daughters
(a.k.a daughters-in-law :)) and her grand kids.

Please note that I start all my rows with a ch 1, turning chain for ease.
Please check the top of this blog for easy video tutorials on all stitches used in today's pattern.
My own designs (and testing of them) have taken a back seat - and I've been glued to my computer, wading through the many many ideas to see which pattern/idea will suit me.
I should thank the world wide web for making this search so much simpler .. what did we do before the www??
So started off first with a cute little strappy dress for little Sara, all of 6 months and with this lovely variegated acrylic-cotton 4-ply(ish?) unknown brand yarn, whipped up this cute Summer shells baby dress.
For more information on how I
tweaked this pattern, do visit me at http://www.ravelry.com/projects/shyamanivas/summer-shells
Photographed and nearly put away, I was uploading my
creation and was 'hit' by another link for a really cute interchangeable
headband.. It was almost like someone was telling me 'you ain't done yet' - so
whipped that head band up and re-photographed the set .. and that was Day 1
For information on this cute interchangeable headband, do
visit me at http://www.ravelry.com/projects/shyamanivas/interchangeable-baby-headband
Today, about a week later, having made something for almost
everyone - I've made a second Cute In Pink dress for Baby Sara
For more information on this beautiful creation, do visit me
at http://www.ravelry.com/projects/shyamanivas/cute-in-pink
Time permitting, I'd l have yet another creation I'd like to add
for Sara .. of course there are seven other grand children who will be terribly
envious though.. or will they?? after all Sara is the baby of the family. ;).
