Penguin Bag


The idea I got from a site, but then as I made with almost double the no. of stitches, when it came to doing the penguin face shaping, had to think for myself. I made the feet bigger than what was mentioned in the site. I made a long handle using black and white wool, and joined the handle all around. The penguin's nose acts like a button !

Cellphone bag



I made this bag for my granddaughter, as she loves green colour and wanted in this colour. It is my own pattern.

Shark Cellphone bag



I made this shark cellphone bag for my grand-daughter, who loves animals and wanted this one when I showed her a similar pattern. But, I had to change a lot from the pattern, as felt the stitches were more as for the material I used, so, changed as what I felt was needed, so, for the teeth and other parts too, reduced and in the pattern for the shark teeth were not stitched, felt that they may easily tear as there were gaps in the final round of teeth, so I stitched it securely. The handle, I made with shaded cotton thread, felt so happy when granddaughter after returning from her classes said it looked so good. I can't ask for anything more, as the user is happy using it.

Graduation Teddy Bear


Made this for my grand-daughter, who is just finishing her 10th grade and coming next week to be with us during her holidays. It is a surprise for her, as when she was a baby, all that I made for her was baby blanket, booties, caps and some dresses, didn't know anything about amigurumi, which I learnt about 5 years ago, after my 1st grandson was born, thanks to our daughter-in-law, who showed me the sites for amigurumi, got me stuff while we went to UK and started. Of course, my 1st one a tiger was almost a flat guy, as if he was starved ! slowly learning how to improve seeing the various masters in this craft.

Thanks to the lady of this site for the pattern both of the teddy and the grad dress, cap etc. But, I had to make some little changes, esp. the grad dress, cap etc, as my teddy was much smaller in size than hers ! Anyway, isn't it good to use your brain too some time.

I love ice-cream, sadly can't eat since a couple of years due to asthma. So, thought why not make myself a small chocolate cone ice-cream for my keys ! Could have put some chocolate chips too on it! to make chocolate chip, with dark brown thread make French knots, make few around or if you want white chocolate chips do with white thread, i.e. what I'm planning to do next!

good luck, do let me know how it looks.

Lord Ganesha


I'm a big fan of Lord Ganesha, have HIS photo in all the rooms. Made this small Ganesha for grandsons. Though I got idea from a site, changed a lot as I felt it right.
In HIS left hand, Ganesha is carrying his favourite food " modak"/ " kolakattai".

I had earlier made for myself a bigger Ganesha standing on a pedestal, made his " vahanam" -               " moonjoor" also on it.

Lord Vishnu

First my grandson't request was if I can make Lord Vishnu with 4 hands. Then slowly came other request, Lord should have long black hair, namam on the forehead, mace in one hand, flower in another hand, 3rd one with chakra and 4th hand conch shell.

Only thing modern Lord Vishnu, Hanuman and rishi, as when I tried to make like veshti, it didn't come out properly, tried it 3-4 times, then made them modern 21st C Gods with pants

Made the Lord Vishnu with my own idea after seeing his photo.
