Tea Cup Pincushion

I finished crocheting this tea cup pincushion yesterday for my holiday swap partner.  The inside bottom of it has a few stones in it to add some weight.  This is a free pattern from Lion Brand.

I also made her a zebra striped candy cane ornament.

Candy Canes & Wreaths

I put the last touches on my candy cane and wreath ornaments today by adding bows and bells.  I have 2 more wreath ornaments that need to be assembled, I finished crocheting them today.  I am planning on giving these as Christmas gifts this year.  I will keep at least one of each pattern for myself though.

Here is the super easy pattern.

Here is a close up of one of the candy canes.  I first wrapped the white crochet curl around a chenille stem, and then I wrapped the red one.

Before I added the ribbon bows and jingle bells.

This is what they look like after they have been crochet but before they are wrapped around a chenille stem.  This pattern is really a piece of cake.  Right now it is my on-the-go and t.v. watching project.  I think that I might even try to make a curly wig using this pattern.

Candy Cane Ornament

Yesterday I crochet this candy cane ornament.  It was very easy to make.  All you need is some white and red yarn, I used a size F hook, and a chenille stem.  I started making another one today.  Here is the free pattern.
