Way too much sun. Way too cute a grandma.

It is way too hot in Bangalore. It is so hot that it is wonderful to be here--away from the butt-freezing cold. I am currently enjoying being roasted in the heat, and would not want to change a single thing.

Then there is my super cute, super pretty, "I am going to be 85 soon", Grandma. She is very fashionable, and loves a good haircut (The stylist is my mom. It is one of those "at your own risk" kinda things).

Just after her new haircut

If and when you meet her, tell her you love her current haircut, current dress, current walking stick. You will be her friend for life.

It is so hot here, that my Grandma wanted a hat that will go with her new haircut. A warm hat. Crazy but true. A warm hat with an flower embellishment. Like I said, she is very fashionable :), and very particular about how her stuff should look and feel. This beanie was made under her strict supervision...especially its embellishment.

Irish lace, two layered flower motif

I should say lace inspired since I used worsted yarn and not so thin crochet hook
