Crochet Indian jhumka / jhimikki

Hi dearies. Welcome to my new post. This post is dedicated to Indian jewellery which we Indian ladies adore much. I love jhimikkis the most (its called jhumkas in North India, but down in South, its jhimikki). Right from my childhood, I have been used to wearing different types of it - kilikoodu kammal, venchaamaram kammal etc.. All which are dangling, especially these types of jhimikkis, I love to wear, at least would like to spend some time watching at it.

Still vacation happening here, so with kids around I am not able to get fully involved in my crochet work. However, I managed to whip up a pair of these crocheted jhimikkis after a long thought of what to do. (uff, I couldn't even think calmly sitting somewhere in the corner as the kids attacks me everytime...  :-) ).

You can wear it along with silk sarees or any traditional outfit, give as gifts to your friends during navaratri etc.

Hope you liked this post. If you ever try this, please share with me your creations. I would love to see it. Also drop in your comments too.

Have a lovely day and weekend ahead. Happy crocheting. Bye from Kala.

Save Mangroves - UAE from MICQ

Hello there everyone. How are you doing??? Its been a long time since I posted something. I was in fact away to India on a vacation. Though I had planned for visiting few temples in India, I didn't expect it will happen so sooner. Clubbed this function and the temple visits and a short vacation in my hometown too.  I was so happy to see all my dear and near whom I have missed a lot.


But you know what, I couldn't keep myself away from crochet then too.

Spent some time on crocheting 10 granny squares of 10"*10" for Save Mangroves - UAE on behalf of MICQ. Glad that I was able to contribute for a noble cause.

There is no Media coverage for this whole project nor there is any individual acknowledgement. Its a pure charity work. The ladies in Umm Al Qwain who do this installation will just post updates on their Facebook page. This is just one of their activities. They do other non-art related activities to collect funds etc.


The specifications for the project were:

• 20cmx20cm crochet or knitted squares
• No specific stitches (whatever you want can do)
• October 5th is last date should be reach UAE.
• There is no fanfare from this project.

Please visit the link here for more information what this community project is about. In India, the last date for the project was July 15. I hope its not too late if anybody wish to contribute their part for this project. Apologies for the late posting of this information.

As always,, its Kala signing off. Have a lovely week ahead.
