Behind the Stitches: My Crochet Creative Chaos
Ever wonder what goes into your handmade crochet pieces? This is my little world of yarn, hooks, and a bit of 'mom life' chaos. Come take a peek at how I bring these happy things to life! 🧶
Lena he to lelo, nahi to jane do 😅 Guess what I am making with this maroon yarn? It's always fun to start a new project.
The speed I can work at versus the speed I should work at! 😜 A little fun while I'm busy crocheting a colorful coaster.
After making a whole box of crochet patterns, this is me waiting for customer calls! 😂 The life of a small business owner.
Look at all these colors! Sometimes I just love making a big, colorful striped pattern and seeing where it takes me.
My threads for the day. Who knows what these will become? Maybe a keychain, maybe some earrings... the possibilities are endless!
Can I say this is a big granny square? 😋 I love how these colors are coming together. This will soon be turned into something useful!
Working on a bright and colorful granny square. The yellow border really makes the other colors pop.

The leaves for my 3D flower are done! What do you think? Does it need some finishing touches?
Made a 3D crocheted pink flower. Just a few more details to add before it's complete.
About Behind the Stitches
You’ll see the real process here—sometimes I’m crocheting while balancing dinner plans, and that’s just how it goes! I share every step, from picking the right cotton yarn for a keychain to getting the tension just right on a granny square. It’s not just a product, it’s a little piece of my day that I’m making, usually with a cup of tea nearby and a toddler running around. 😅
When you order a crochet piece from me, you're getting something made with real heart and a lot of patience. Whether it's a tiny amigurumi toy for your little one or a personalized keychain, I treat every loop and knot with care. I mainly use premium Indian cotton blends like Vardhman Cotton Dreamz, which I love because they hold their shape beautifully and are soft enough for baby clothes.
My process is as 'messy' as it is creative. I document the journey—the tangled yarn, the color decisions, and even the moments where I’m debating whether a flower needs one more petal.
Why Custom Matters
You aren't buying off a shelf. You pick the colors, you tell me the vibe, and I work it into reality. Need a rumaal (handkerchief) border? I’ll send you updates while I’m stitching it so you know exactly how it’s looking.
Practical, Washable, & Cute
Everything I create is designed to be used, not just stared at. My coasters are thick and heat-resistant, and my kids' items are made with soft, non-toxic yarn that holds up to daily play. My amigurumi-style stitching is extra tight to make sure nothing comes loose. If you see a loose thread in a work-in-progress photo, don't worry, that's just the 'before' stage—I always make sure everything is clean and finished before it reaches your hands!
