Ornaments

Today I am excited to share with you the main project I worked on while house-sitting for my dd’s family over the weekend.  Ornaments!  This yr. I want to do my Christmas tree in all crochet/yarn ornaments. Being that it’s August I figured it is none too soon to get busy with some of them.  And since I was alone the entire time, I was able to work on each one without being interrupted constantly.  Therefore, I had a very productive weekend crochet-wise. I used a pattern from here, but I did not stuff mine. I also didn’t put the pointed edge on mine, or the button in the middle.  That’s one thing I love about crochet…everybody can do their own thing, and it is still just great!  I love these colorful ornaments and can hardly wait till Christmas rolls around to use them. That, and the fact that grandbaby #3 will be making an appearance around that time.  :D

You might notice that the one finished with yellow is bigger than the others.  That was an oopsy on my part.  LOL  I inadvertently crocheted 12 hdc in my first row rather than 10.  No worries, though, it is still pretty.  :)

I also had a go at this little crocheted boot. For this little gem, the pattern can be found here. I hope to make more of these before December rolls around.  :)
