Some things old & some things new......

First the new.....

Remember the Filet crochet sampler

 I was doing long time back?

I had posted a little peek into it in this post....

I had it finished some time back,

it had been lying in my almirah for some time now.....

At last,

It is now part of a beautiful curtain

which I've put up on the window of my room.

Here is what it looks like....

Here's a close up of the lace edge...

.

And with the insertion....

Now for the old....

oh, what nostalgia!

We've been cleaning up Mom's place

And look what I found....

.

.

Small blanket done in crochet...

.

.

With a set of sweater, booties and mittens

I made even before Vaasu was born.

(the heart motif was my own pattern

and so was that done on the blanket.)

He could wear these till he was 1.

.

Another set also made for Vaasu

 when he was one...

.

.

.

This is "TRELLIS" pattern

from Knitty .com

This was a pretty difficult pattern to do,

and it took me a fairly long time to make.....

Vaasu almost grew out of it before it was complete!

He wore it only a couple of times I guess!

But ,I love it so... much.

.

It's so nice to find such pretty pretty little things

tucked away in a corner somewhere;

and remember how you made them.....

It wasn't so long ago, yes,

but I was teary eyed all the same......
