Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Diya Wrap is the result of my aimless knitting to keep myself occupied (and sane) during the never-ending lockdown. I picked two random colors which went well together, cast on a random number of stitches and started knitting. I went on adding stripes, lace, texture as per my moods and fancies.

The blanket can be knit to the desired size or until you run out of yarn, making this a great stash-buster project.
Knitting: Vest
Vests are great to keep children warm while allowing them to run around and create havoc. This vest gives the good old argyles a modern look by placing them off-center. This is an ideal project for knitters who want to attempt color work as there are very few color work rows.
Knitting: Cowl
Punto Cowl (Pun-to means dot in Spanish) uses a two-color stitch pattern in which the second color shows up as dots against the main color. Punto Cowl is ideal to showcase the lone skein of variegated yarn lying in your stash as the variegated colors get broken by the main color.

Knitting: Cardigan
Tanvi is a circular yoke, seamless cardigan and is the perfect solution to keep off the spring’s morning chill. True to its name, the cardigan is delicate with eyelets on the yoke and lacy diamonds on the body. It is a great way of showcasing the single skein of hand-dyed sock yarn lying around in the stash.
Knitting: Tee
Tee Cruise is a summer gift to encourage a child to go out and play, because don’t you know, it’s summer? This summer tee is perfect to play under the blue sky and roll over the green grass. The folded up sleeve bands and the contrast colored placket add the right amount of jazz to appear cool by the pool under the scorching sun.
