Indian Winter and Snug Things

My questioning mood has passed by, I can't think too much about things I don't understand.May be it's not required. So I'm just trying to dive into my sunny winter days again...with many pictures this time! 
Indian winter reminds me my native country's warm autumn... Cloudy sky, some trees' leaves gained the autumn colors . The tree in front of our house changes its attire according to the season, unlike other, green all year long.
We had another homely weekend. Indian cardamon tea and some tasty crackers are the best to keep warm in a cold house.
My husband got these socks cum shoes from his mum and can't spend his evenings without them now. Our heater is "on" too; we like the kind of light it gives.
Of course, Indian winter can't be spent without light and fragrances. Mmm, lemon grass!
The tree was established on Sunday. I'm planning to get some lights for it as well.  I bought that small Santa from my university's shop in Moscow, there are more of them at my parents' place. Now I have a piece of memories on my New Year tree..
And Ta-dah! The ripple baby blanket is ready. It took me quite a while to weave the ends. Baby boy was born on the 10th of December, so now we need to think of the option of delivering the blanket to his parents as they live in another city :) I know it needs to be altered and may be steam ironed.
More... some new yarn from the Indian brand Vardhman. Pretty colors, smooth thread, and I have a project in my mind to use it for. 
These were some moments of the past weekend. I'm grateful being able to have peaceful and snug time with my D. 
Have a great cozy day!

Ripples Mission is Possible

     A post exclusively for myself ... and, of course, for you, my friends! Hope you are doing well and thanks a lot for leaving such nice comments! Today I need to keep a record of the first big crochet project I started few days back. I say to myself that I can finish it before the first dates of November...when the baby is going to be born. Not mine though :)
   I chose three colors 100% acrylic Baby Soft yarn of the Indian brand Vardhman. The thread feels very soft and cosy if it can be such. The crochet hook is 3.5 mm. I purchased it from my native city's shop during this Summer visit to my parents.  It's a very good hook of the Russian company Gamma. I really loved this ripple pattern from the knitting and crocheting Russian site. I was struggling with it for a while and when finally understood, it went on smoothly. 
   So here are today's morning's snaps of the ripple baby blanket progress. Nearly half has been done, way to go! I am planning to do at least twenty rows this Saturday/Sunday. Do you have any mission for coming up weekend?;)
