Day 4 of the 12 Days of Christmas Challenge! Holly

         The third day of the 12 Days of Christmas is Holly. This was definitely the easiest pattern so far and took about 15 minutes. 

          The pattern is quick, cute, and simple. The berries are so small and cute and assembly was the hardest part. The pattern came from Lion Brand's website again. 

Tomorrow's item is is a Christmas Tree and that looks exciting and I'm looking forward to it.

Day 3 of the 12 Days of Christmas Challenge! Candy Cane

Day 3 for the 12 days of Christmas Challenge was a candy cane :) I'd been looking forward to making this for a couple days and whipped it up during my lunch. Which means it took about 20 mins.

It's about 4.5 inches tall and I thought the way the stripes are done gives it a neat look. 

Tomorrow's item is holly and the pattern comes from the same site as before. 3/12 complete :) post again soon

Day 2 of the 12 Days of Christmas Challenge! Present

           The 2nd day of the 12 Days of Christmas Crochet Challenge was a Present. The finished project was bigger than I had expected, at about 3" wide and 4" tall. It was a cute little pattern and used mostly beginner stitches and techniques. I got this pattern from the same place as the wreath, Lion Brand's Website. I think I may try a keep with the classic Christmas colors for most of the challenge.

Tomorrow's item is the Candy Cane and comes from the same site as the previous patterns. I have been super excited to make the candy cane so I hope it goes well.

Day 1 of the 12 Days of Christmas Challenge! Wreath

The first day of Christmas is a tiny wreath motif :) sparkely green yarn tied with a red bow. I got the pattern from Lion Brand's Website ---> here. 

This took about 20 mins to make and that includes the time it took me to crochet the bow twice to get it just right :) 

I think it's pretty cute for such a quick and small item :) 1/12 complete! 

Tomorrow's item will be a Christmas Present and the patten is from the same set as the wreath

I had so much fun doing to crochet challenge in October that I decided to make my own challenge. That is how I came up with the 12 days of Christmas Crochet Challenge. Starting on Monday the 14th and continuing for 12 days until Dec 26th I will make one simple Crocheted Christmas item a day. Below is a rough calendar of the items I intend to crochet. 

The first day's item is a Wreath and the pattern I will be using is from Lion Brand's Website. http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/L32338.html  

Please follow along if you would like =) I chose very simple patterns that should take around 30 minutes a day to complete maximum.

Crochet Challenge!! Day 12: Favorite Yarn Shop

My favorite exclusively yarn shop would have to be Woolbearers. It has a wonderful vibe and they specialize in hand painted yarn. They also have fun, quirky classes like "knitting and yoga". I don't go there very often because it's a little out of my price range. But not as expensive as some shops and for the quality product that have, I have never been less than thrilled with any thing I got there. And they sell spinning supplies

Usually I buy my yarn at Ac Moore, just because of the price and the fact that they always have at least a 40% coupon and they carry my favorite yarn :) 

The challenge was started by usscrafty and here is a link to that post:
