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 […]
Around a month ago, I wrote about suffering from a condition I called “The COVID Fog Phenomenon”. Since then, people have alternately called it other things such as the millennial-burnout, spring-fever, and plain laziness (my Dad didn’t actually use the last word but I know he must have thought that while reading my post). Well, […]
Hello fellow knitters! Those of you who don’t follow me on Facebook or Instagram probably don’t know that I recently did a Facebook Live session where I taught how a Knitting Dolly can be used in French Knitting to make an I-cord.
Some families like to party together, some like to holiday together, and if Sooraj Barjatya is to be believed, some families like to pray together. Well, as a family, we do a lot of things together (prayer excepted), but one thing we do a lot is to watch Agatha Christie’s TV adaptations. Dame Christie plays a huge role in my family […]

I had expected that I’d be the only one to vote and maybe Nikhil though only under coercion. But surprise, surprise, ten of you obliged, and I […]
I know I haven’t written in a while. Lawyer-ing came in between – serious lawyering this time. The kind with deadlines and clients getting upset and judges getting angry and costs being imposed! So knitting had to take a backseat. Not for long hopefully. It did get me to think though of something my mother […]
Last week I fell in love. Again. While randomly surfing on Amazon (yes I have enough time on my hands to do that), I chanced upon a gorgeous (very, very expensive!) skein of yarn which set my heart aflutter. My hand hovered over the ‘add to cart’ button and I was about to press it […]
Today I write asking you to welcome to this website one of my closest friends – Deeksha – who has very kindly agreed to do a guest blog. I met Dee (as I like to call her) when we were both in our teens and I have seen her grow into an extremely talented poet. […]
Hello there! For those uninitiated in psych jargon, OCD expands to Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. People with OCD tend to have recurring, unwanted thoughts, ideas or sensations (obsessions) that make them feel driven to do something repetitively (compulsions). Before I say anything further, let me tell you that OCD is a disorder that needs to be taken […]
A lawyer who loves to knit. A reader who loves to write. Pallavi likes to dabble in many things at the same time. She lives with her partner and dog in Delhi (India) - both of whom know better than to interrupt her while she is knitting or reading.
