Day 312 - Christmas Santa & Stockings

The lovely Tracey Todhunter - Crochet Teacher, Designer & inspiration has mentioned me on her latest blog post


so I thought I'd mention her back

Do pop over to her blog / website & have a read - you will be mesmerized!



Today I had the lovely PD for a private Crochet Class

She's finished off her Chunky Warming Socks
and they look FANTASTIC


If you'd like the pattern, it's one that's available in my book

She also made more hearts, a pattern that we worked on in her last lesson (middle heart) so she's done well - learning increasing & decreasing plus edging & finishing off!

I love teaching PD as she's so much fun to have in class & so enthusiastic too


My copy of Make & Craft Magazine arrived today
& in it is my All in One Santa Pattern!

If you love making toys but hate sewing in the arms, legs & head afterwards (like me which is why I designed this pattern) then you'll love crocheting Santa

He's got dangling legs & his body is filled with rice at the base so you can sit him on the mantelpiece & his legs can dangle over the edge


A perfect addition to your Christmas Decorations


I have made loads of Mini Christmas Stockings for the 2 Craft Fairs coming up

The pattern is available in my ETSY shop 

Once you have made the basic pattern  you can glitz up your stocking as you like

Here I have used Tinsel, Eyelash & Metallic yarns


Tomorrow I am teaching at Cotton Moon in Blandford
My final workshop of the week

That's 7 Crochet workshops / classes this week!
PHEW

And finally
312 in true Christmas Stocking colours

Day 306 & 307 Mini Christmas Stockings

I have been making Mini Christmas Stockings most of the day today
as I have 2 craft / xmas fairs coming up very soon

This is how they start ...


And after a little glitzy trim
to make them more adorable than they already are


using some sparkling thread or eyelash yarn


They look more "Christmassy"


And just perfect for little gifts


Don't worry - if you want the pattern it's here:

I promise you that I have also crocheted Squares 306 & 307 - I just haven't taken a photo!
