Afghan for my son

I finished this afghan for my son for Christmas last night.

It was a fast and easy crochet but quite a few ends to weave in.

Another gift finished, so today while the turkey roasted

 I was able to finish a cocoon for the grandbaby that is due in 2 1/2 weeks!

I am doing much better this year than last!  

November Walker Decoration

This month's decoration for mom's walker is of course a turkey!

Such a bright, cute, fast and easy fellow could of course

be worn in the hair with this elastic.

With a pin back attached instead it would make a fun brooch.

Or on a large ring it would be the perfect napkin ring.

It could even be glued to a clothespin and used as a place card.

Yarn Wreath - My Version

People keep showing me pictures from Pintrest of yarn ball wreaths.

They are very cute and very color coordinated.

However, it bothers me that I might need a dab of just that color and regret having it hanging on the wall, unusable.

So I came up with this version.

I happened to use a heart shaped wire base,

which I wrapped with some velcro I had laying around.

(the sticky side)

Then wrapped up leftover scraps of yarn,

which I spent too much time unraveling from tangled piles.

Yep, they just stick to the velcro.

So if I need one I can grab it.

If I want to change out the colors for the seasons

or the decor it is very easy to do so.

I just could not bring myself to wrap around styrofoam balls

as directed in the others I had seen

when I have so much stash and might want to use it again!

Now if I can just find those wire wreath hangers

so I can hang it up!
