Finishes: 146, 147, & 148 Christmas time!

We may be thick in the middle of summer, but that means it is a perfect time to post about the things I finished last winter. Right? I'm so ready for this Christmas! hahaha These projets make 148 / 365 complete, we are now at 40.5% complete! Yes! And I have three other finished projects that I haven't taken any pictures of yet, which puts me at 41%!! Woohoo!

December 20: Tree Skirt

December 22: Two Trees

April 6:  Cosmos Doily

Finished Blanket

I just realized that I never posted a picture of my completed blanket. The baby has arrived and is doing very well. Here are a few pictures, and I just realized that I did not get any good pictures on my camera, just iPhone ones. Oh well maybe she will use the blanket at their newborn shoot!

December 22: Christmas Trees (2 patterns!!) - COMPLETED

Pattern # 356:  Christmas Tree

I love the style of the tree.  It is very different from any others that I have found before!  And it is one very very long chain. Well chain + ripple effect, wrapped around a cone.  How cool.  She uses two different colors to get the effect that she has.  I wonder what it would look like with color changing yarn???

Updated January 10, 2014: I finished this cute little tree before Christmas this year. It turned out cute, but definitely did not photograph that well! It's one really long chain thing (two rows, I believe) that you crochet and then wrap around a Styrofoam cone!

----------------------
Okay, we have another pattern today, because it caught my eye and I can do what I want.  Both trees are awesome!

Pattern #356a:  Ribbon Christmas Tree

This one is from Amanda at Pardon My Chaos.  How fun is it?  Like the old ribbon candy!

Updated December 20, 2013: This tree also did not photograph well, but it sure looks cute in person! And my hand sure is cute. Whomp whomp.

December 21: Poinsettia Tree Skirt

Pattern # 355:  Poinsettia Tree Skirt

Today we have another tree skirt, very different from the two yesterday.  Which one is your favorite?  Or could you decide??

December 20: Granny Square Tree Skirt & Round Ripple Tree Skirt - COMPLETED

Pattern # 354:  Granny Square Tree Skirt and Round Ripple Tree Skirt

I believe I called this week "Christmas Around the House," or something like that.  Today you get two patterns, because I could not decide which one I liked better!

Updated January 20, 2014: I finished the second pattern, the round ripple tree skirt. I really do like how it came out, and I'm excited to have a tree skirt this year! I'm going to leave the link and picture of the first pattern up above, even though I will not be crocheting them. Ain't nobody got time for that! ;)

Christmas Tree Crochet Along

I finished my first Crochet Along for this Christmas season!  Woo hoo!  Here is my finished product:

Sorry for the terrible lighting, but I love my little tree.  I made the small tree from this pattern (and yes, it will be a CED pattern later this year)!  Thanks to Crafting with Cat Hair for hosting this CAL.  I always love crocheting along with her.  Have you guys ever done a Crochet Along?  And yes -- our will be starting soon!
