A client hired me to make three Christmas stockings for herself, her fiance, and her dog.
Here is the FREE pattern I used from Yarnspirations. Instead of cross stitching, I used the chart and colour-worked the images as I crocheted. I also found a chart for letters and added them to the top of the stocking.
Which is your favourite stocking – the Christmas tree, the Santa Claus, or the Snowman?

I have a wee obsession with making my own totes and purses. I’m not sure which of these I will make first! Thank you to The Crafty Blog Stalker for posting these tutorials!
I have always wanted to make my own snow globes. This may be the year thanks to High Heels and Training Wheels’s tutorial! We definitely have a huge supply of empty glass jars to use up also. Check out the supply list and tell me if you will join me in making (at least) one. Please share if you do!
I am participating in The Crochet Crowd’s Stitch-cation Summer Crochet Challenge. Here are my first blocks using the “popcorn” stitch. In addition to learning new stitches for the blocks we are being challenged to use at least 8 different colours. I will make an afghan with all the blocks in this challenge.
