Now coming to the crocheting . I learnt crocheting

during my school days but don't even know the

name single crochet , double crochet etc...other

than chain stictch.And also I didnot make

any completed projects . But inspired by

Nupur and Shilpa I started crochet .

Amma has always been in my side to help whenever

I start learning new things . This is

my first project without Amma's help.

I made a hat and small bag for my daughter.
