Crochetkari: Raining Gold

Tuesday 4 September 2012

Raining Gold

Hello, beautiful people.

I hope this new week has pushed off the new month to a good start. I am partial to this month... ;)

A warm hello to two new friends;
          Magdalene from Magdalinio dia xeiros
          Isabel from Coloresyganchos

Now if you are wondering whether it was raining gold here, sadly it was not. But I did manage to complete this light gold purse that I was making. I had shown you this purse when it was a WIP some time back.

Here is the finished piece:


 I has also said that I will be asking for your suggestions about the handles. Well, none of the handles in my stash were matching the yarn so I decided to make the handles with the yarn itself.


The yarn is light gold though it seems silver in the photo. Difficult to capture the right color with the camera.

It was not raining gold but it was certainly raining cats and dogs since Monday. Heavy rains starting at around 5.00  in the evening caused flooding of roads and really caused great inconvenience especially to office goers who were returning home. 

At times like this I am glad that I no longer have to go to work. But my joy was short lived as yesterday the power supply went off for hours. No crochet, no reading, no TV, no internet. Well, people were suffering worse things out there.... so I should really not complain. To give you an idea here are some photos from my balcony.



The roads got flooded within minutes.


Hubby and sonny reached home totally drenched. We were just getting ready for a candlelight dinner when the power supply was restored. Which is good as I had only one small candle!!

So, its buh-bye until next time.
Love xxx

  7. What a great purse! And your handles turned out very nice indeed. Ah, the rain - sometimes it does interrupt our plans. Still, it is beautiful, even when the streets are flooded and the power goes out. We're on the tail end of our monsoon season, and as much as it's difficult to deal with the power of the storms at times, it's always amazing to watch them in action. Glad you got your power back in time for dinner:) Have an amazing day!

  14. A nice purse Sangeetha. I am also planning to make one. I had made a bag earlier but it is difficult to have a crochet bag stand straight :)

    I liked the name of your blog, thought I can use something like Crochetgiri similar to dadagiri;)but I blog on other needlework things too. I have started blogging recently, please view my blog at http://createwittyunleashed.blogspot.in/
