...everywhere I go...
I love this time of year! Christmas decorations are starting to appear everywhere and make things look beautiful. They have put the Christmas tree and decorations up in a shopping centre where I live and that inspired me to get some christmassy yarn out.
That is Aunt Lydia's Crochet Thread Classic 10 and is called Shaded Christmas. I love the yarn and being so thin I've had to dig out my 1.5 mm hook which I don't tend to use very often. Now I've been working with it I remember why I don't use small hooks so often ... my hands ache now! I love thread though and I've been looking through snowflake patterns. I've made 2 so far:
They are hot off the hook so I haven't had a chance to block and starch them yet - that's going to be one of my weekend tasks :) I'll post some photos next week when they are finished.
My other yarn related task for this weekend in winding these skeins into balls:
What crafty plans have you got for the weekend?
Hi! I love Christmas too and all the decorations. I think its the only time when the entire World is in holiday mood. Love your snowflakes! You have a herculean task of winding these skeins. So, good luck with that! :)
