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.
