More Christmas Ornaments

We're almost up to Christmas.  Hopefully your tree doesn't have any bare spots, but just in case there are a couple of branches to fill in or maybe a hand-crocheted ornament would be the very thing for your friend or neighbor's present, here are a few ideas.

May your holiday season be the best you've ever had, and may you have some time to relax with your yarny projects.

Happy crafting,

Christmas Ornament Ideas

Happy Holiday Season!

Knitters first this time.  You seem to get more patterns for little stockings.  There are a few examples:

Crocheters, here are a couple for you.

Here are a couple of patterns for those who neither knit nor crochet.  These balls are woven - wrapped with yarn and then woven with a needle across the strands.

This one is good to try with little ones.  They can personalize the family tree with something they were able to help make.

As always, you will find more patterns in www.knittingpatterncentral.com, www.crochetpatterncentral.com, www.ravelry.com, and any number of other craft websites and blogs.

One good way to find exactly what you have in mind is to go to Google Images, type in the project you want to work on and look at the pictures that come up.  If you click on one of the pictures, it will link you to the website or blog which will hopefully have the pattern for you to use.

I hope these ideas get you in the mood for the uncoming holidays.

Happy crafting.
