Crochet Gladiator Slipper. (Tutorial)

Hi everyone. In this post I will be sharing tutorial of my very sweet gladiator slipper. I combined crocheting and leather for this project and the final piece is just amazing. it is very ideal for this time of the year, neither too warm not too light. And yes it looks cozy and good on my feet too.
The yarn that i used in this project was available in the local yarn store . it is not like  common yarn with few yarn strands twisted together but a simple thread knotted to form a para-cord rope like structure with the wisps wool in it. it had no weight label or any other specifications and I was not sure what would be the best thing that could be made of this yarn. Regardless I bought it, it was too cute to be left out.

I figured out its weight by using the WPI method and it is a double knit weight yarn.

I used 3.5mm aluminium hook for this project.

The stitch used is Tunisian crochet stitch.

And the pink stripes are made of faux leather that are hand sewn to the crocheted patch.


I got my leather swatch along with other cute swatches from our leather dealer to try and see. i had these pastel colors for a while and this one suited my slipper too well.

I have already uploaded the tutorial on the you tube. Watch it and tell me how you like this slipper.
Dont forget to share this tutorial with your friends and family.
Any questions? Post below.

Enjoy.

DIY Crochet Round Sling Bag

Hi guys, lately I have been working on this little sling bag and today I'm going to share the tutorial with you all. It is far more easy than you think it is. It is a beginner level and looks quiet trendy with those cute outfits. It is large enough to hold all of your cards and money, maybe a small card holder and your phone too.

Skills required:

Crocheting
Stitching

Materials needed:

1. T-shirt Yarn (You can basically use any yarn but then the number of stitches and the rounds in it will vary)
2. Faux leather or Rexene.
3. Tapestry needle and thread.
4. Magnet buttons.
5. Chain String.
6. Gluegun.

7. Scissor.
8. Crochet hook.

Method:

1. The T-Shirt Yarn.

First of all we need to make two flat circles using half double crochet stitch. If your are new to crochet or don't know hoe to, follow my beginners guide to crocheting here or you can visit my YouTube channel to learn the basic stitches.

I used a t-shirt yarn to make these circles and since it was quiet bulky my circles were made in a very short span of time. If you don't have a t-shirt yarn available around you, you can always recycle those old t-shirts into something useful. Watch needle pointers make yarn out of t-shirts.

2. Pattern For Circles:

Follow this pattern to make the circles.

Round 1. Chain 4. Join, Make a magic ring.
Round 2. Chain 2, make a 6 half double crochet stitches in the magic ring. (6 stitches)
Round 3. Chain 2, In each of the 6 stitches make 2 half double crochet stitches. (12 stitches)
Round 4. Chain 2, 2 stitches in first stitch, 1 in next. Repeat for whole round. (18 stitches)
Round 5. Chain 2, 2 stitches in first stitch, 1 in next, then in next again 1. Repeat for whole round. (24 stitches)
Round 6. Chain 2, 2 stitches in first stitch, 1 stitch in next three stitches each. Repeat for entire round. (30 Stitches)
Round 7. Chain 2, 2 stitches in first stitch, 1 in next four stitches each. repeat for entire round. (36 stitches)

You can increase or decrease the size of circles by adding or removing rounds accordingly, if the circle you made seem smaller for a bag add few more rounds. In each round (to keep the circle flat and nice) make an increment of 6 stitches.

The size of the circles also depend upon the size of hook used, I used a large wooden hook with the diameter of 6 mm. I made this hook myself, tell me in the comment section below if you want to learn my trick of making a crochet hook yourself.

3. Joining the Circles.

Take a tapestry needle and a matching thread and begin hand sewing the two circles together.
Why hand sewing? because it is too thick to come under the sewing machine.

Leave a gap of some 6 - 7 inches from one side. On the ends of this gap add small leather loops to hold the string. Refer to picture below.

On the inside of this gap, attach two buttons as a closure of the bag.

Our circle bag is done, now over to leather flap and tassels.

4. Making the tassels.

Making a tassel is very simple, check out my blog post about how to make a leather tassel yourself.

5. Making the leather flap.

Fortunately I had a matching blue lining for the flap. Okay. Cut the leather in a U shape. Width 6 -7 inches, height 9 inches.

About same size, cut the fabric lining.

You will also need three small strips of leather, two are used in tassels and 1 to hold them.

Fold the leather as in picture and make two small cuts in it as in picture.  Roll the little strip of leather and fix it using the glue gun.

Put both the tassels in it and insert its ends in the cuts made in the flap.

Secure with a cute cross like stitch.

With the right sides of fabrics facing each other, stitch the two. Leave a gap of few inches from one side and turn it inside out.

Now Stitch the border of flap once again to give it a finished look.

6. Attaching the flap with the circles.

With the help of tapestry needle and a thread, stitch the straight end of the flap to the back of the circle. You can also add a magnetic button or Velcro strip to keep it more at one place.

7. Take a steel chain and put in loops of the bag, Put your things in and enjoy.

My sister helped me with photographing this little DIY wonder and we took so many cute pictures of it.  

I hope you found this tutorial useful and insightful. Make your bags too and share with us.

Don't forget to pin it and share it.

How To Crochet A Granny Square Fingerless Gloves

Hi Guys! In this post we will talk about my new YouTubeGranny Square Gloves. I have already uploaded the video, you can watch it there as well. I had a lot of scrap yarn, and probably have some still, I decided to put some of it to a good use! And this pattern came to my mind. I searched for some granny square patterned gloves on Pinterest but didn’t find much similar products.

I used cotton yarn and a size II aluminum hook. You can use your choice of yarn and hooks as well.

Let’s begin the pattern, if you are new to crocheting you can learn the basics to crocheting here.

Pattern.

Working the granny squares.

Round 1. (Any Color Yarn)

1.       Chain 4.

2.       Join to make a magic ring.

3.       Chain 3.

4.       Double crochet 2 times in this magic ring.

5.       You will have 3 stitches. The first chin 3 will be considered as one stitch.

6.       Chain 3.

7.       Make a set of 3 double crochet stitches in the magic ring the second time.

8.       You will have 1 set of double crochet stitches, followed by a hole and then the second set of double crochet stitches.

9.       Chain 3 once again.

10.   Make a 3^rd set of double crochet stitches.

11.   Chain 3.

12.   Make the 4^th set of Double crochet stitches.

13.   Chain 3 and join with the beginning of the round.

14.   The sets of double crochet stitches make the sides of the granny square where as the chains of threes makes the holes that represent the corners of the square.

15.   Trim the yarn and weave in the yarn tail.

Round 2: (Black Yarn)

1.       Join the black color yarn to one of the holes of the square. Chain 4. (call it A)

2.       Now work the double crochet stitches in the next hole. Make a set of 3 stitches. Followed by a chain of three and a 2^nd set of double crochet stitches.

3.       Chain 1.

4.       That is the first corner worked out.

5.       Now work in the second corner/hole. Again make 3 double crochet stitches, chain 3, 3 double crochet stiches.

6.       Chain 1.

7.       The third hole is worked in the same manner.

8.       However, in the last hole, we make a set of 3 double crochet stitches, chain 3, next we make only 2 double crochet stitches, and the third one is the initial chain that we called A, Join it with this chain at the 3^rd stitch.

9.       Trim the excess yarn and weave off the yarn tail.

Joining the granny squares.

1.       We will be using 24 granny squares for both the hands together, i.e. 12 for each hand.

2.       Join the granny squares using yarn and yarn needle and stitch them together.

3.       Make a matrix of 3x4 squares, i.e. 3 rows and 4 columns.

4.       Fold in half, stitch along but leave a gap for the thumb.

5.       Weave off the yarn tail.

6.       Decorate with pearl beads.

I love how this pattern worked out and how perfect the centers look like. I’m glad that all the scrap yarn was put to some use and the end result was cheery. The flowery look is giving me quite a positive vibe.

Health Issues Caused By Knitting and Crocheting and How to Fix Them.

We have probably heard and read enough about the health benefits of crocheting and knitting. It is indeed considered as one of the best therapies for treating anxiety, depression etc. Despite being Beneficial and fun at the same time, Crocheting and knitting can cause some health concerns that need to be looked into. No work comes easy and every time we work we put a part of ourselves into it. It is hence, important to be healthy enough to cherish the work we love a little while longer.

The health hazards caused by these two most loved hobbies include:

1.       Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

2.       Back Ache

3.       Neck Pain

4.       Strained eyes.

5.       Weight gain.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:

Crocheting and knitting is basically the work of your hands and wrists. So they are going to be affected the most. If you are a regular crocheter or knitter you may have complained about pain, numbness, dull aching of fingers and wrists. It is caused by those regular hand movements and in some the condition persists and may cause carpal tunnel syndrome or repetitive strain injury. If you are in a crochet business, it is important for you to take care of your selves and those skillful hands so as to be in business.

What to do? 

Take regular breaks while crocheting or knitting. Put down those needle or hooks. Relax your hands and arms. There are many Stretching Exercises for Preventing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Hand Exercises for Crocheters. Click on these links to view them.

Neck Pain:

Working on some crocheted or knitted projects require you to look down or bend your neck for long periods of time. As a result a sore neck is developed. A stiff, painful and discomfort is not liked by anyone.

Back ache:

Another issue related to working as a crocheter or knitter is the back ache. Sitting for prolonged periods of time and in a bad posture can lead to a bad back pain. If not prevented and treated at the right time and properly, it can cause more serious issue to a persons health.

How to deal with neck and back pain?

1.       Practice a good posture.

2.       Make sure you are seated on a comfortable chair with a good back support.

3.       Make sure your knees are placed slightly higher than your hips. (your legs should be hanging off the chair) use a foot stool if necessary.

4.       Do not slouch while you sit.

5.       If you feel some stiffness in your bones, move around a bit. Stretch and relieve tension in your body.

6.       Roll your shoulders to loosen them.

7.       As a precaution or health measure, incorporate some light stretching exercises in your schedule.

8.       Make a point to move around and do something else after every hour or so.

Strain in Eyes:

Keeping your eyes focused on some point for a long time may tire them or may cause headache. A beautiful crochet product will definitely require a great deal of hard work and focus, but not at the cost of your eyes.

Make sure you use a good lighting in your craft room. Again, shift your focus in a while to something else.  Close your eyes for few seconds at intervals.

Weight Gain:

Crocheting and knitting are sedentary activities. You put your favorite music on, take a good place on a couch with a delicious snack by you side; an ideal way to work? Well, no! Sitting for a long time and no exercise will surely help build more fat under your skin, thus, leading to weight gain. The more energetic you are, the more better. Also moving your limbs will surely help in letting those creative juices flow.

If you can’t bring yourself to exercise, try to walk briskly for 20 to 30 minutes daily. Keep yourself hydrated and avoid the junk and unhealthy food.

I hope that this article about Health Issues Caused by Knitting and Crocheting and How to Fix Them was good enough to spread the awareness. Keep yourselves strong and healthy and enjoy a lifetime of crocheting and knitting.

7 Ways To Boost Your Immune System During Winter!

We are a week into chillai Kalan (the harsh winter period) and the weather is terribly cold. We’re are all coughing and sniffing and add the regular power cuts to the winter woes. No one would like to fall sick and have common cold at any cost. To avoid the horribly stuffy nose we need to boost our Immune system. So, instead of staying away from sick friends, boot your immune system and brace up the odds. We cannot entirely avoid it, but hey, we can follow some super easy routines and find how best we can keep away from it.

1.       Avoid Stress.

Enjoy life. Relax, laugh and avoid negativity. Stress and depression can weaken your immune system and make you susceptible to infections. We can’t control the factors that bring in stress in our lives but can control how we react to them! Let go of the things that are bothering you and pay attention to the ones that bring you joy. Take everything positively. This is easier said than done but with great motivation we achieve do anything.

2.       Eat balanced Diet.

Take care of what you eat and how healthy it is. You need vitamins and minerals to support your immune system. Focus on eating whole foods such as animal proteins( not to mention that to a Kashmiri, our meals are incomplete without them) legumes, whole grains, nuts and seeds as well as fresh fruits and salads.

Avoid processed foods and foods with artificial sweeteners. Such foods suppress immune system.

3.       Take antioxidants.

Apart from taking balanced diet, take sufficient amount of vitamin C. Find out foods rich in vitamin C and include them in daily routine. Do not just cram them in when you have hand not any since few months. That will surely give you a bout of cold. This one must be planned ahead but even if you have not planned it, you got to take them.

You can find these vitamins in foods like Broccoli, Almond Nuts, and any Citrus foods.

4.       Get enough sleep.

Get 7 to 8 hours of sleep a day. Make sure you do not waste your precious time on social media and watching Netflix, a good amount of sleep is highly recommended for healthy body and mind. Again it doesn’t mean you sleep at odd times. Rest your biological clock (natural cycle). It can get hard first but you will get this routine in few days. Listening to your body is important.

5.       Move those limbs!

A regular exercise routine keeps the sickness away. Workout will keep the flu away and help your Immune system to get strong. It relaxes the body and mind.

I do not mean you to do heavy cardio and overdo it, just simple and easy exercises, that will let you move your body enough to keep it healthy. If you can do even that, than take a brisk walk for 20 to 30 minutes everyday!

6.       Soak up some sunlight.

Winter is no reason to stay indoors (wearing Pheran and hugging Kangri) instead, go out and soak up some sunshine. Sunlight is a great source of Vitamin D, it not only helps your immune system but also helps your nails and hair grow.

Try to go out few times a week into the sun and get a vitamin D recharge.

7.       Drink plenty of clean water.

Winter or not, staying hydrated is one of the best things you can do for your health. It helps in production of lymph which carried white blood cells throughout our body. And hence, fights bacteria and infection causing germs.

You can add some lemon to it and boost it a bit more.

You can also take Lassi (made from curd and water). It keeps your body hydrated too.

How To Make Your Own Yarn Pom-Pom

Hi Guys, Salaam.

It's Thursday evening and after a full day at work after that I had to scrap through through all the house work. Now am I sitting in my studio wondering what must I post today and share with you all.

So, today I am sharing a little pom pom tutorial with ya'all. While I was making these li'l Yarn fluffs I realized how much yarn does 1 ball take and how difficult it is. I have tried my best to show you how I did it and have broken the step wise tutorial for my readers.

In this project the size and the type of yarn matters. The perfect pom-pom depends upon how many rounds of yarn you will wind and of course the size of the ball.

Tools needed:

 You will require some yarn, scissor and a typically anything for measurement. I use my scissor handle. It worked fine.
You can use a fork for small balls.
or toilet paper rolls for larger balls.

This is what you have to do:

1. wrap the yarn over fork, scissor handle in my case or toilet paper rolls.

2. If your size of ball is small make lesser wraps and if it larger than more the number of times you wrap the more better your pom pom will be.

3. Pull out and tie with a strand of yarn in the middle. Tie it firmly.

4. Trim the two ends and open them up.

5. Using your fingers spread out all the strands of yarn.

6. Give it a shape with the help of scissor.

7. Ta-Da! That done.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and this comes handy in your craft projects, decorations, or any other projects. Feel free to show us your pictures of colorful pom-poms.

How to Cook Ghande Maaz (Onions and Meat) - Kashmiri style.

Today I'll take you to my kitchen and show you how we ksahmiris cook our Ghande Maaz. Ghande in kashmiri means Onion and Maaz is the word for meat. It is a regular homestyle dish and is cooked often. It is mainly served with rice - the staple food of Kashmir. (We can eat rice four times a day and as for Mutton is is as important as oxygen!). LOL. However, you can relish it with roti, naan, pulao etc.

Ghande Maaz has a rich spicy broth in which meat peices are cooked and it is very easy to prepare. 

Ingredients:

• 1 kg mutton, preferred with bone
• 2 TBS cooking oil, (preferably mustard oil)
• 2 tsp salt
• 2  onions, sliced 
• 1/2  tomatoes/tamatar, diced 
• 2/3 garlic/lahsun 
• 1 TBS ginger/adrak paste
• 1 TBS coriander/dhania, ground
• 2 tsp Kashmiri mirch 
• 1 tsp turmeric/haldi
• Few cardamoms(though you can omit them)
• 1 inch piece cassia bark/dalchini (not mandatory)

This is how we cook it:

1. In a pressure cooker, heat oil, Put the finely washed mutton in it along with salt, ginger garlic, onion and tomatoes.

2. You can cook without tomatoes but that wont be as tangy and spicy.

3. Fry till the meat begins to brown and all the water is dried up. This may take about 10 to 20 minutes depending upon the freshness of meat.

4. Add the rest of the spices and mix well. Let it fry for 5 to 7 minutes.

5. Add 3 cups of water or at least enough water to cover the entire mixture.

6. Let it cook for a while until it starts to boil.

7. Seal the pressure cooker and continue to cook till 4 – 5 whistles or until the desired tenderness is achieved.

Serve hot. Must have delicacy from Kashmir. Try it and share the reviews with me. Enjoy.

10 Great Tips For Crafters

Hi everyone. Today I'll be sharing some tips and tricks that I have picked up over the years of crafting with my fellow crafters. It doesn't matter if you are an experienced crafter of not, this list has something for everyone, hopefully.

These tips are lifesaving and I considered them as "crafters Good Habits" 

Okay, let's start.

1. Use velcro Strips to stop your rugs from moving. We do have those rugs at home that we have to cautious about while stepping on them. They tend to move and slip from their place. The solution is, do not affix whole carpet to the floor, rather affix a strip of velcro to both floor and carpet and join them together. 

It helps, you can do your cleaning in much better way.

Wish I had known this before we pasted whole of our carpet on our marble floor!

2. Use dry tea bags to get rid of bad odour from your smelly shoes. Simply place the dry tea bags in the shoes and take them out when you have to wear them. 

3. Wash your paint brushes with the hair conditioner. Soak them for few minuted in hair conditioner and wash with luke warm water. I love this one because I have a habit to let the paint dry on the paint brushes until it becomes hard.

4. Smooth out the creased ribbons with the help of hot light bulb. I stuff all my ribbon scraps in a big jar so will have to try this quick technique.

5. Is your scissor blunt and doesn't work properly? simply sharpen it by cutting the sandpaper. This totally works and keeps your scissors in better shape

6. For all the lazy crafters out there  press small pieces of fabric with a hair straightener rather than getting the ironing board out.

7. So you love candle making?  Are you tired of trying to clean surfaces with wax scraps? I have a trick for that too. Carefully pour just boiled water onto wax scraps left in glass candle containers. Leave to cool and the wax will come free from the jar. Use the wax scraps to make more candles using this DIY!

8. Pick up seed beads and glitter mess with a lint roller. crafters have a habit to spill almost everything and those beads are messy to work with and they never behave. Getting them on a lint roller is so helpful.

9.  Use a teapot as a thrifty alternative to a yarn bowl and place your yarn at one place! Make sure your teapot is clean and dry though! Put the yarn ball in the teapot and pull the free end from the nose of the pot. 

10. Sharpen craft punches by punching tin foil. Clever eh?! There is a way to sharpen those punches too. 

If you have any crafting tip to share please comment below. I would love to increase this list and learn from you people. Share your habits here....
