Saree Refurbished

This is my old saree, which I am very fond of. I planned to wear this saree on previous day of grand family function. But that morning when I wore it and walked few steps it tore at the border, then I had to change. 

 

 

 

 

I couldn't make up my mind to discard the saree, the saree was still usable. So what I did????

 

 

Lengthy scarf or shawl????

This pink color shawl was made by reusing yarn from half knitted sweater. Undid, washed the yarn by immersing in mild soap water, let it dry for 4 days, then the difficult part of unraveling and rolling the yarn into ball which was like idiyappam (like noodles), though I took care while soaking. Unraveling took two days, managed with two snips.
Then started knitting this shawl / scarf. Ended up a bit lengthy one as I was going on knitting till I ran out of yarn.

The shawl is folded into four in the picture

Double color crochet bag

Mostly I did this while I waited at daughter's music class. When I was contemplating on an embellishment, she gave me this beautiful flower to fix on the flap which she had saved from her old dress. Now this bag has become a sole property of my her. As she wanted to carry her music class books in it, I gave it a double layer lining with a inside pocket of size to hold cell phone and pen. Actually the handle is bit lengthy for her, but anyway I hope she will be clinging it when she grows up too.

Fancy shopping bag

I was hibernating for some time now. Our laptop crashed. Hence my tablet was seized by my son for his studies, to work out sample question papers. So what was I doing in this break.

1. Give company to my son till late night while he is preparing for exams
2. Breaking my head thinking what to make for snacks, breakfast, lunch, dinner with whatever I hear good for health, so that. he doesn't fall sick and more importantly to ward off his temptation of junk snacking.
3. Waking him up whenever he needed to be
4. I scrambled and took out all yarn bundles which I bought 16 to 17 years ago to knit sweaters for my baby son then to put to some use my time as well those yarns

Settled on this pattern so that I could crochet even while I am half asleep, still pretending to be wide awake. Also was able to complete an audio book Hound of the Baskervilles.
