There were two of these in yellow thread in D Chikkamma's (Aunt D's) house. Following that pattern, I crocheted this during one of the summer vacations spent in Mysore.
I and cousin R are 10 months apart. We must have been twins in our past lives or something. All the fun we had together during our childhood summers . . . learn new songs to sing, dress up in costumes and do fashion shows, try new hairdos, choreograph dances and perform for our loyal and very encouraging audience - our aunts and uncles, play Scrabble under the covers past bedtime with a flashlight, read and chat till late into the night. Then there were bicycle rides, games of badminton, carom etc. And how can I forget stringing jasmine plucked fresh from the vines in the balcony. And yes, chikkamma's home-made ice cream! R's brother, cousin V, is quite the entertainer. Singing and mimicking the actors of yesteryears. Thankful for the exposure to Hindustani Classical Music and Theater Arts. Many things to count in the blessings category!
I love how you are knitting the stories through your stories of knitting. Winning formula!
