Exchange Ornaments

December 17th, 2005, posted in Crochet

Here is a picture of the ornaments I received in the Parent’s Place Crochet/Knitting Board ornament exchange.

Little Stocking is from twoboyztwogirlz
Snowflake cl-paigemama74
Bell from crazycalicokitty
Angel is from deuceypop

Thank you so much all of you!

I finally used Steve’s camera to get a picture because my little digital so annoys me; *I could just pinch it,* to paraphrase Marvin Martin. Everything I photograph with it is so pink. And I just don’t do pink when I am trying to get brown or gold tones!

Everyone has received the ornament I made so I can post a picture. If anyone needs proof that I am less than sane here it is. (all those pointy needles and thread, mutter, mutter) I must admit I really enjoyed making them . . . I must have . . . I made 25 of them!

This beautiful Snowflake Star is is an original design by Judy Gibson, October 28, 2002. It also appeared in the 2005 Knitting pattern a day calendar.

All the ornaments I’ve made or received from friends makes decorating the tree a happy time – and we always wonder how long that ancient string of outdoor mini-lights is going to last. It must be 20 odd years by now they have been brightening our trees.

Practice, Practice, Practice

More cloths worked to practice my crochet. Soon I hope to be able to have a crochet tension that matches the rest of the universe.

The only problem with this is my continual picking of knitting patterns . . . I swear it is totally unintentional!
