Origami Gift Box

Who does not like gifts! After buying a bunch of gifts this holiday season, I was inspired to make my own custom Origami gift boxes. They were very easy and fun to make. I started off using the gift wrap sheets and ended up painting my own gift wraps making it a complete DIY project. The boxes held together perfectly in shape and I did not even have to use glue anywhere.  I could choose colours, patterns and custom sizes according to my gifts and did not have to go in search of boxes for everything. 

Winter Amethyst Monochrome

This scarf will always be close to my heart because it is my first ever knitting work. The first time I learnt how to hold the needles, cast on and start knitting - It’s still fresh in my memory. The vintage yarn transformed into a beautiful scarf as the knits and purls increased.

I decided to make a beanie to go along with it as it would be a nice combo for my winter collection. I wanted to experiment working on monochromes and found this lovely pattern. I finished it just in time for winter and a visit from Olaf ;)

The Green Scarfie

When you do not find any greenery around you, make a green patch yourself. A scarf  to be one with the Oaks – the only trees surrounding me, withstanding the cold, snow- filled winter.

The blend of wool and acrylic gives the scarf a very soft texture and keeps me warm. Alternating knits and purls creates these stitches resembling the yummy waffles. Wish there was a way to include the Maple Syrup and whipped cream to it ;)  

Flower Power

I love flowers – fragrance, color, beauty and everything about them. So when the Origami bug bit me, flowers were the first thing I would do, obviously. It is a simple craft that doesn’t require a lot of materials and could be done anywhere, anytime. I made these lovely colorful flowers a couple of years back for Navarathri. Now they are happily living with my mom and every time I go home, I look at them and feel nostalgic…Those were the days!
