Blue Matka Sling Bag
Hello friends!
This is my recently completed crochet project.
I started making a ruffled skirt for my niece. I found the yarn inappropriate and tapered it to make a basket. However, I dont use baskets frequently... So, added a button to close it and made a long strap to turn it to a sling bag!
I am happy that I finally completed this project!
The Little Doggy Back Pack
Last friday, I came to know that my cousin -from Bangalore- was coming to meet us on Saturday eve! I was super-excited! We were going to meet after a long time... But, I was a little disappointed too because she was returning back to Bangalore on Sunday morning :-( Moreover, her little son would be unable to accompany her in the trip.
Overcoming my disappointment, I decided that we will enjoy her short visit and I will send some cute gift for my nephew with her. I went to few local gift shops and searched for some unique toys. But, I was highly confused. My little nephew has most of those in his collection! So I returned back home with an empty shopping bag. Then I thought, "Why not crochet a small gift for him?" And finally I knew what to gift my nephew..."A Handmade Crochet Gift".
After I returned back home from work, I freshened-up, had my dinner, picked up a crochet hook and started playing with the yarn. I kept crocheting till I was sleepy and completed a small round base white bag before I slept. Next day morning, I picked up the bag to work up the bag handles. But when I picked it up, it did not appeal me. I felt that something was missing!
Finally, I ruled out the missing factor and made a doggy face flap over the draw-srting back pack to make it appealing. And my nephew has named it "The Little Doggy Back Pack"!

Introduction to Crochet Zone...
Hello friends!
This is Dr. Nile Desai!
I am an Indian female whose life is dedicated to arts and crafts...
My love for miniature art, made me a successful dental surgeon!
And today, I plan to start this blog to display and share with you my leisure time art and craft work!
I learnt to crochet from my mother (Mrs. Bakula Shukla) and my aunty (Ms. Usha Shukla) in my school days...
But then after, I got very busy with education, profession, and other social engagements...
One fine day, I was going through YouTube Videos on crochet patterns when my husband, Dr. Ankur Desai, saw a smile on my face and inquired whether I knew how to crochet. To this; I started sharing my childhood crochet experiences with him!
To my surprise, I received a set of 15 crochet hooks from my husband on my wedding anniversary!
Joy filled my heart, and tears filled my eyes...
Lucky to have a husband like him who explored my hobbies, and gifted me a new passion... "Passion to crochet"
Since then, I daily crochet for about few minutes to hours (depending on my other schedules).
Now that I am confident crocheting, I wish to display my small crochet creations in this zone!
Pardon me, as I am neither technically sound nor good at photography.
But still, I am filled with enthusiasm to give my level best...
Love,
Nile
