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 was inspired to have my first giveaway of a coffee cozy with a handle. I thought that was a cool idea. It has nothing on THIS beverage mitt made by the Niftynnifer’s Crochet & Crafts blog. Wowzas!!

This past Winter 2014 I designed this Santa hat and beard for my 6 year old son based on the Cabbage Patch craze. It was the perfect hat for the cold winter that just passed. I created this pattern but did not write it down. To make it I mashed a few different patterns. Check out my Ravelry page to see more details on the patterns I referenced if you want to make your own.
