Crochet Christmas cards

These are really easy to make. First you make the stars.

Rising to the Challenge

I decided that I would take up Maryanne of WoolHogs’  suggestion that I should make something for the “Made It” monthly challenge with the yarn and knitting needles my daughter bought me for my birthday; the only question was what? I couldn’t find any patterns I liked on the internet but I decided it was… Read More Rising to the Challenge
