DE-STASHING CONTEST WINNER!

by

Although there were not that many entries into this contest, there were some really lovely Christmas doilies entered.

The winner SHOULD be the doily at:

It’s a real beauty!  I write SHOULD BE THE WINNER because so many of you entered this one in the contest.  While I find it to be lovely, it’s not one I think I would ever actually make.  There were several entries that I am interested in crocheting, but that’s not the main criterion.

The winning entry is this one that I’m SMITTEN with:

Runners Up is this beauty:

Notice that the Winner and the Runner Up both come from the same site!  I gotta spend some more time browsing this site to see what other goodies might be hiding there.

So, Linda of Chehalis, Washington is the winner for her entry!

Thanks to all who entered.  Another contest for yarn &/or  patterns is forthcoming.  Stay tuned!

Cute Donut Monkey Crochet Kit

I mean… who wouldn’t fall in love with a monkey hugging a donut? This Cute Donut Monkey Crochet Kit from HiCrochet might just be the most adorable thing I’ve seen all week. It’s sweet, silly, and totally irresistible. Whether you’re new to amigurumi or just love a good weekend project that makes you smile, this kit has everything you need to bring this donut-loving little monkey to life. The design is playful and full of personality—and let’s be honest, that donut accessory is a whole mood. 

This kit would make the cutest gift—either made up or as a DIY surprise for a crafty friend. It’s beginner-friendly, super fun to stitch, and the final result is something you’ll want to show off on every shelf (or maybe sneak into your snack drawer for fun). If you’re looking for a lighthearted project with maximum “aww” factor, this little donut monkey definitely delivers. Let me know if you make one—I’d love to see how yours turns out!
