Finishing Up Last Year

In December I turned my thrifted lot of faux pearls into little Christmas trees.

I crocheted a pumpkin out of handspun art yarn for a tote.

I made my first amigurumi by crocheting this little kawaii Christmas tree.

My second amigurumi, this little polar bear, turned out okay, too.

Although the amigurumi present had the most difficult pattern, I took a shot at that, too. Here's the three all together, and the mag where I found the pattern. Not bad, right?

I made an apron, an oven mitt and two pot holders from a thrifted pre-quilted Christmas panel.

Using a kit from Fabscrap, a thrifted hoodie and some pearls leftover from the tree project I made a not so ugly Christmas sweater.

Following a mystery pattern I found on the back of a Red Heart label, I crocheted some slippers.

I crocheted another pair in a larger size using some interesting black, gray and white thrifted yarn.

I did a little jewelry-making from a thrifted kit.

My last project for 2023 was finishing my calendar scroll. Let's hope I can be as successful with the crochet blanket I'm making for 2024. Thanks for keeping an eye on what I'm making, too, my friends. :)
