Playing Catch-up...

Hello all!  I hope everyone has had a good week.

I am playing catch-up in today's post.  These are Christmas presents I made and gave last month.  Short, quick, totally-enjoyable-to-make presents.  You can also see them on my Ravelry Projects page.  I am ReneeSpear401 on Ravelry.



I made skinny scarves for two teen girls -- my niece and my son's girlfriend.  The first is One Skein Scarf from the book, "The Happy Hooker".  You can get the pattern here.  Mine is the Paton's version.

The other scarf is My Dream Scarf with Fringe.  Also found on Ravelry, here.  I have discovered I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE making skinny scarves.  They are fast, fun, and done in one evening.  Perfect!

Several other family members received the easiest of all -- garlands, buntings, hangie thingies, whatever you want to call those things!

Crocheted Hearts Garland, on Ravelry.  Easy peasy!

Christmas Garlands #1, #2, #3.  I think I was looking for the quickest-ever garland to make.  It seemed to be a toss-up.

Ellen Bloom's Stars.

Five Point Motif.

Grandma Tree by the Royal Sisters.

And last, but not least:  homemade chocolate-covered peanut clusters -- for everyone on the list.  (Yeah, I could have used a few more peanuts.  These were the end of the batch of about 150+ clusters.)

There, that's done!  I've been meaning to post these FO's since just after Christmas.

Here's wishing you a fun and safe weekend!

Hey y'all!

Two posts in two days! Woohoo!!!! Sorry, just got a little excited there.

Here's a photo of the reworked blue square and the new pink one: Blue Square 2 and Framed Flower. The 2nd version of the blue square isn't exciting in design. But, most exciting to me is, it lays flat. By itself. I didn't have to press it out with my hand!! Sorry, I think I was actually foaming at the mouth there for a second.

Followed by a photo of The Royal Sisters Grandma Twinkle and Ellen Bloom's stars. These 2 have to be THE quickest-ever items to crochet. Ever! I didn't make any projects with these wonderful stars, I just needed a break from the afghan. Some (almost) instant gratification, you might say.

I am probably the least productive crocheter in all of blogdom, but I love every second I am able to spend with my hooks and yarn. Oh, and, NO. My photography skills have not gotten any better.

See you next time,

Renee
