In 2009 I finished a few things. I had been working on designing some things when we had to pack up and move, but those have gotten put on hold until next year. I will be submitting some of them for consideration to a yahoo.com group I belong to that does holiday gifts every year. It’s called Holiday Mystery Gifts and I believe this is their third year. We don’t have many crochet items right now, mostly knit, so I thought I would see if they would be interested in any of mine. Anyway, here are some things I finished this year.
Zero the Ghostly Dog: My daughter Kaitlin has a friend who absolutely loves the movie Nightmare Before Christmas and Zero. I found many patterns on Ravelry, crochet and knit, but decided to go with the pattern on Lizville’s site. It was a very quick crochet and he turned out really cute. He was for Nicole’s birthday but I haven’t mailed it to her yet. I also saw a pattern for Jack Skellington as well. I don’t know if I want to make anything like this for a while, especially ~with my Christmas “To Make” list.
I also finished a doily for an exchange. I haven’t worked in thread for awhile so it was an adjustment. I used the pattern Silver Surf from this site and you can see examples of it on Ravelry if you are a member (it’s free–and totally awesome if you are a fiber artist).
One final item for this post and I’ll save the rest for another post. I made a Granny Scarf using the pattern from Suzie’s Stuff. She has many awesome free patterns and a Yahoo group, too. I didn’t change colors so I had to figure out how to continue around since I didn’t fasten off, but it was really easy to do.
Have a good weekend and happy crafting. TGIF!!!!
