Knitting the butterfly idea came when I took loads of pictures of Butterflies when I visited Reiman Gardens recently.I started searching for patterns and landed here. The pattern was a butterfly puppet pattern. But tried to do something little different from the actual pattern.
Firstly, I choose a bigger needle (9mm) and started following the pattern as in the original. Finally for the wings, I choose the lower wing pattern along and used a 4mm needle. The final look of the butterfly was something like this,below.

But for the butterfly above, the pattern goes something like this.

I simply enjoyed and loved doing this doll. It took me approximately a week to complete but it was total fun. Every time I completed one task, it gave me a complete satisfaction of doing something perfectly..

The first task was to knit the body and head.

The second step was to knit the hands and fit them appropriately.

The third step was to knit dress and make sure it matches and fits the honey bunny properly.

The final step was to knit the ears and fit them along with eyes, nose and bow appropriately.. Finally my honey bunny is ready.. To know more and about the pattern, please click here.

The one project which took me nearly 6months+ to finish.. I actually forgot when I started doing this project..Its was a kind of saturation that stopped me after every few rows of knitting..  But finally finished it yesterday night.. Ufh!! :)

If you want to start practicing knitting, small projects are always a perfect start and  this decorative bowl is ideal. I found this pattern in this website. Its a felted decorative bowl. The picture in that website itself was very attractive. So tried making one bowl  with the leftover yarn and it came out really pretty. I am liking it very much and want to do  similar to what it is in the website.

The pattern is available in the website. The bowl in the picture above is XS size.

Loved knitting this baby bit.. I was able to finish knitting this bib in about 3hours and loved the way it turned out...

For pattern please click http://www.knitting-crochet.com/gaibabknibib.html
Its a very easy and simple pattern. For beginners who knows how to read patterns will love to knit their first baby bib.

PS: Please press a little bit to avoid folding.. This pic was taken before pressing so you can find many folds..

The second socks variety I tried and came out good..(atleast for me)..
For pattern please click http://www.knittingonthenet.com/patterns/babyslippers.htm

The major challenge I faced in knitting this baby slippers was picking up the 29stitches on each needle from the  base sole.Try to choose few stitches from one row before the edges also For those who love to try this baby slippers, please pick the stitches properly...Also, I would recommend to use circular needles to get a neat finish.. I used pointed needles that's why the top cover looks little clumsy..

This is my all time favorite. A bloomer for my future baby. My first project after I started learning knitting.

This bag is called "Bias Knit Felted Bag".

The little flower was my own idea. Don't know how far it suits that lil bag. But I like to keep testing.

This cap was knitted for Shravan. When I heard they are visiting Chicago, I immediately started knitting this cap. I didn't have any specific pattern for this cap. I just kept knitting on a circular needle and when I felt the length of the cap was ok, i started reducing the size. Infact I crochet to finish the cap. One thing is I finished knitting it in a day.
