It did not turn out as good as I thought it to be. I first saw it here, her flowers & pot are so nice & tidy. The position of my flowers looks quite messed up. And above all it was my first time making french knots and offcourse I did a mess. I tried to take some neat photos but no it wasn't my day I guess. So you have to bear with the bad photos. Its going to be a gift for a very special Aunt, hope she likes it !

Oh this cutie pie is one of the gifts I've made for one of my friend's wedding. I wanted to make a cosmetic pouch and used this DROPS Design mini bag & Sarah's bag patterns to come up with this version.

The other gift I made for her is this scarf. Again its Sarah's pattern. Btw her patterns are very nice and many of them are free. You can check out her blog or ravelry url to see the patterns. I seriously want to say her a big thanks for sharing her several nice patterns for free. This scarf works up VERY quickly. I increased the width and started with 28 chains. I'm also going to make this scarf for me inshaAllah. Hoepfully its going to be a pink one.

The best part of the pattern is the scallop like edging it creates.

The only issue you find about shell pattern scarfs is the different edges. I did not know untill now that you can straighten out the edges by staggering the stitches. You can see Teresa's Tutorial here to see how to use this technique to staighten out the edges.

There is one more gift which is a matching mini pouch with the scarf. But its still "under construction". I will hopefully show you when its ready to be photographed.

Soooo now when the gifts are ready I can get back to working on my blanket which I still haven't shown you and which is very bad of me !

I also have couple of more personal projects in my mind which I can't wait to start. I wish I had more time to crochet !

I will be waiting for your comments. You may have bad things to say about the pot but come on you can try to say something good about the pouch & the scarf they are not bad or atleast I have to say this because these are the gifts and I dont want to make myself feel guilty about making bad gifts for a friend's wedding =D
