My visit to Commercial Street proved very fruitful for me. Though Munu ba (my sister) and I were in a hurry but still I managed to grab few things....yarns, ribbons, buttons, circular knitting needles , and crochet hooks. There were plenty of things in the shop which caught my eyes but as we didn't have much time in hand (because I left my baby at home), so could purchase only these many things. But I'm planning to visit the market very soon and buy lots and lots of yarn.......I love yarns. I'd like to show you some of them...
Yarn
I've decided what to do with the yarns that I bought ... I've already started the next project, so I'll have a picture in a few days...
With these two colours I will make a tail hat and matching booties for newborn baby. Many of my friends are going to have babies soon...don't know whose the lucky one :-).

With this colour (light brown) I'm making a newsboy cap and a booties for my cousin's son.
I've a beautiful knitted frock pattern in mind, so this one's for that....... God! I have so many patterns lined up.......
Circular Knitting Needles
I had been looking for circular needles for so long and finally, I got these...
Crochet Hooks
Some of the crochet hooks I purchased...
Ribbons
It was really difficult to choose the colours because all the colours were good. As I cannot buy all of them, so bought these many...polka dotted one's my favourite though.
Buttons
I looked for fancy buttons every where in Bangalore but in vain. I am so very frustrated because some of the patterns really demand fancy buttons....got only few but nothing fancy about them. You can see by yourself...
Though I'm not contented with my shopping but m happy...
Waiting with bated breath to see something very cute (as a button....i had to say that :)) and definitely lovely colors....

ReplyDeleteHave you considered making your own buttons? Use polymer clay (which must be baked) or air dry clay and you can custom design any button you like. If you are hand washing the garment, the buttons can take that, especially if you have varnished them. If not, simply make double buttonholes (on both sides) and attach your buttons to a strip of bias tape. You can then easily remove them before washing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol....I'll surely try...when I run short of buttons it is really going to help me then...
DeleteI am planning to start learning the very complex looking art of crotchet. I cant seem to find stores that sell the hooks and the yarn anywhere near my neighborhood. Commercial street is a place I go to once a month. The place is always so crowded and I hate walking around there aimlessley. So could you please tell me where exactly is the store that sells these stuff??
