Namaste friends, are you a television buff? I am a big fan of TV but I wouldn't call myself an addict as I can switch it off at will and also survive for days without it if required. But I am partial to English programs whether it is serials, documentaries, cookery or science shows. TLC and Nat Geo are my favourite channels. As far as Indian television is concerned I prefer Marathi channels for their superior content, and wide variety of topics. Hindi programs with their melodrama, unrealistic stories and slapstick comedy are too jarring for the senses.
Wondering where I am going with all this. I have no idea... LOL
Okay, as a teen I was a huge fan of Three's Company, an American sitcom about three roommates. I liked everything about it, the cast, the theme song, the stories. And that is exactly the phrase that came to my mind when I thought my two mandalas needed one more companion. After all "Three's Company, too"...right? Haha
Yeah, I know I can be bonkers sometimes :) :)
Next question - Have you ever purchased variegated yarn because it looked gorgeous and then wondered what to do with it? It happens to me all the time! But the allure of variegated yarn cannot be avoided.
For my latest mandala, I decided to use a variegated violet cotton yarn languishing in my stash. Here is the result:
Those petals look so cute. Using variegated yarn for the whole mandala or doily would be pointless as the intricacies of the design would be lost.
This pattern is simply gorgeous and I urge you to try it. Check out the details in this POST.
Some more pics (with no jibber jabber from me)! 😊
All pics were taken with my Lenovo A7000* phone camera. One of these days I must get down from my ivory tower and get my camera repaired!!! Pity the repair centre is miles away 😩
Which camera do you use for your blog photography?
See you soon. Happy Crafting
Your mandala is very beautiful! Variegated yarn have limited possibilities so I have less of it. Still l purchase once a year.
ReplyDeleteI watch zee Marathi channel and because of that my daughter learnt to speak and understand Marathi as it is our mother tongue. I also like sitcoms and as of now I like 'The middle' (old episodes on Romedy now channel) and 'This is us' . I also watch homeland , quantico sometimes. In Hindi, I see Beyhadh but not regularly, I like comedy shows but sometimes they are overdone and also the singing programs, mostly the auditions are fun to watch.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteVariegated yarn is new to me. I came to know about it from your blog. Your Variegated yarn mandala is very beautiful having unique pattern and look. I liked it very much and have already planned to make one.
Thanks for sharing. I have made beautiful sweater this time in this winter using vardhman hand knitting yarn.
