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

Crochet Challenge!! Day 3: WIPS

On the third day of the challenge we're supposed to share a WIPS (work in progress).

Here is a blanket that I started for Alfredo, featuring all his favorite colors. I'm trying to incorporate a bunch of different stitches and so far I have 3. My favorite so far is the V stitch and the colors go surprisingly well together. 

Tomorrows theme is "Red", so we'll see what I can find...

Here is a link to the challenge again if you want to join:
