Christmas Crochet

I know I said I would post more often, but the holidays just seem to fly by and there is always something that needs to be done.  My hands haven't been idle though.  I have been knitting scarves that I'll show you in my next post.

I did find some time to decorate the house during the holidays, and a lot of my decorations are things that either I've made or a relative or friend has made for me.  

Here is a small Hexagon Christmas Tree Skirt that I made.



You can see the size of the tree skirt better in this next photo.

Here is the link for the tutorial for my Hexagon Christmas Tree Skirt.   This is the big one under our family Christmas tree.  

Here is one of my white hexagon tree skirts.  It looks a lot smaller in this photo, but it is almost as big as the one above.  

This is a ripple afghan crocheted in Christmas sparkle yarn.  

I'll have to look for my pattern for this one and post it.  

This is a shell afghan that I made.  I've just alternated the colors red, green, white.  My tutorial for my Crocheted Shell Afghan is here.

The afghan on the chair is just one big granny square that my Mom made years ago.

The yarn is a Christmas variegated with a solid red, green and white double crocheted border.  My granny square afghan tutorial is here.  

The links to my tutorials are also listed on my side bar.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit.

I hope your holidays are happy ones and that you are finding some time to stitch!!!!!

Granny Stripe and Granny Square Afghans

My crocheted Granny Stripe and crocheted Granny Square afghans are probably two of the largest that I've finished.  The two of them together just fit into one moving box.  

This is the Granny Stripe afghan folded in half at the end of our king sized bed.  You can find my tutorial for my Granny Stripe Afghan  here.    You can find the chart for the Granny Stripe Afghan here.  Ayaka from Crochet and Me blog sent it to me to share with my readers.  You can follow the link to see her pretty afghan.  

This is how it looks when it's unfolded.  It is really more wide than it is long.  I think the next one I make will be more narrow.  Yes, I do have plans for another Granny Stripe.  I love this pattern.  

My Granny Square afghan is huge and really heavy.  You can find the tutorial for my Granny Square Afghan here.  And, I have plans to make another one of these, too.  These are two of my favorite crochet patterns.  

I'm working on a couple of quilting projects so I am making myself wait to unpack most of my yarn because I know there are things still packed away that I want to work on.  Soon.......

Thanks for stopping by for a visit!

Hope you are finding time to take a few stitches today.
