Welcome
Hello everyone,
One year ago, I started this website with a dream to create a space for fellow knitters where they could share their creations and learn a few new things. Through my blog, I had thought I would share some of my views, though I had always planned to keep them restricted to knitting.
Today, I’m not sure how much I have succeeded on the knitting front, but I have found a community of my people. People with whom I can be honest and open about almost anything under the sun. Your appreciation and support have brought this about and I’ll always be extremely grateful for that. In the coming year, I hope to focus more on knitting and sharing more patterns and techniques with you. I also hope to invite some more people on board who are associated with allied crafts (such as crochet, weaving, macrame) so that you get more options. Stick around because good things are just starting. Till then, be happy, be safe!

There are those that scoff and raise their eyebrows every time there is a discussion about monthly menstrual leave. The most unfortunate thing is that a large percentage of those that scoff are people who menstruate themselves. I have heard sentences like—“I don’t understand what the big deal is”, “I never have cramps”, “I have…
When the movie Jab We Met released in the year 2006, I was still in Law School. Much to my surprise, many people who watched the movie later came to me and said that Geet (Kareena Kapoor’s character in the film) reminded them of me. Surprise is too mild a word because, when I heard…
Dear Reader, Don’t think I have forgotten you. I haven’t. I have just been busy for the last two weeks travelling to a very dear friend’s wedding. I am so happy that she is happy that I travelled the breadth of India—Lucknow to Mysore—to be a part of her marriage celebrations. Right now, you probably…
This winter has been brutal. Before I say anything more, let me say—I realise my problems are first world problems because I have the privilege of staying under the comfort of a warm duvet, whereas people less fortunate than me have had to face this brutal winter in much more difficult circumstances. But in the…
You lose the will to live! Okay, I’m being dramatic here, but some of it is true. I haven’t knit a single thing in the last four months, and I have felt listless and disengaged most of that time. It’s the longest I have gone without knitting since I started 4 years ago. I can…
My husband, my housekeeper, and my dog—the three people I live with—will attest that my mania for watching sports this year was Olympic-sized (no pun, etc.). In the 16 days that the games were on, one could hear frequent shouts of elation, anger and despair emerging from my house. All from me, of course. I…
Today’s post is about some things that are close to my heart. The freedom to choose the way we want to live, our right to make choices that are not conventional, and the reason one person’s choices can be radically different from another person’s. Sounds a bit much? I know when you hear the word…
If you’ve been following sports news lately, last Sunday you likely woke up to newspapers emblazoned with the headline – As Denmark’s midfield superstar Christian Eriksen collapses on the field, the football world stops breathing. In case you don’t already know about it, let me fill you in. During the ongoing UEFA EURO 2020 championship,…
