Here we have another Coats & Clark snowflake pattern. I wonder where I could put this garland -- we dont' have any staircases (and I imagine it on a bannister). Hmmm

Mar 17: Shamrock Garland (St Patrick's Day) - COMPLETE
Pattern #76: Shamrock Pin / Garland
Happy St Patricks Day! I hope you are wearing green today! My plan is to make a few of these single shamrocks into pins - then no one can pinch me! hahaha I want to make a small garland to hang over the mantle as well. This pattern is from Suzie, who made the hearts that we used for our heart garland. This does have a similar feel to it, doesn't it?
First, I made a tiny version (my own knockoff of her pattern) using a C hook for a necklace charm. Of course I forgot to put it on a jump ring & black corded necklace last night, so I cut a paperclip apart and just attached it to my gorgeous green necklace from my mom.
Here is a comparison of my regular sized one (followed pattern) and my little tiny one.
The pile of shamrocks so far (Can you tell which one is different and why?):
I finished the project! I used a very lightweight yarn, so the shamrocks are much smaller than hers. I had to go down to a G hook as well. I like the small, quaintness of it. To see another version of the chain, check out Skip to My Lou's.

Feb 13: Crochet Heart Garland (Love) - COMPLETE
Pattern #44: Crochet Heart Garland
Remember our heart pin pattern from Wednesday? This pattern from Cindy [at Skip to my Lou] is a spinoff on that. It should really be called a project, more than a pattern. Basically you made a bunch of those hearts and join them together. Only Cindy added another row to make them bigger. I am going to make these my own way -- which is a new concept for me. I am a stickler for rules, that I always feel like I need to follow a pattern exactly (especially for this project). However, the exact pattern might not be right for me. So I am going to make this chain with 3 different sizes of hearts, and feel more comfortable crocheting other things differently (like making a beanie bigger or smaller than the pattern, so it fits me!)
A pile of hearts:
The finished chain (close up and then a shot of the whole mantle):
(I chose to use a little pink as well, I thought it gave it an extra kick!)
