Getting Back Into Christmas Makings

After getting snowed under & distracted by so many things in the last year or so, I've finally put 1xiam back on the priority list!
My first report here in a very long time is to share these cuties.
I really don't remember why I traced off some extra designs when I made my 'Tis The Season' wall quilt a few years ago - maybe I had fabric I just wanted to use up? - but when I rediscovered them recently, I decided they should just be stitched & made up.
There are two more designs after these ones, then I'll decide what to do with them.
It's been fun to re-visit these designs & their cheerful characters!

February Ornaments

My plan was to make 6 of these but when I went to my Xmas fabric stash ... the box was almost bare. Oh well, means I have a good reason to go fabric shopping.


Wonderful to see so many sweet makes for February. Thank you all for a fun month in our workshop.

February projects -- add 2 to the pile!

Hello Again!


February, despite being the shortest month of the year, has been the most productive one that I have had in quite a while.


I completed not one, but two gifts for the Christmas Gift Box!


These scarves were made using the corner-to-corner (or C2C) crochet method using self striping yarn:



I find it really interesting that even though the dye lots were the same I ended up with two different color patterns.  Of course, since I used one skein for one scarf and the 2nd skein for the other it is completely possible that the dying sequence was different.




But the coloring was different on each one as well.


These were made using directions found on YouTube.  It seems that I have become a real YouTube junkie!  LOL


Now I not only have 2 more gifts, but I have also reduced my yarn stash by 2 skeins of yarn. . . . they were both completely used up without any of those little balls that I usually get & then feel guilty about throwing away.


Hmmm, now to start thinking of what I might be able to get done in March!


Happy Stitching,


Sherry
