LION BRAND CONTEST – YOU GET TO JUDGE!

January 11, 2008 by jd wolfe

Above is the tiny url preview link to the Lion Brand Yarn Contest being co-sponsored by the website at www.instructables.com. The instructables.com website is a fun place to visit. There are a bunch of entries in the LB Yarn Contest and several winners will be chosen based at least in part on how many ‘hits’ their slide show receives.

SO, LET’S GO SUPPORT SOME CROCHETERS!! Take some time to view the slide shows and see how creative crocheters, knitters, and others are with their yarn. The contest is open til February 17, 2008. Maybe you’ll even want to enter. Here are some of my favorite crochet entries:

special effects bag from crochet today magazine pattern

granny square afghan(detail)

and a really pretty half moon shawl

BTW, I don’t know who any of these crafters is. I haven’t spent that much time investigating. Just wanted to share the chance to vote for crochet!

I know for a fact anyone that crochets/knits is very creative. We just don’t want to write/publish patterns! I’ve done it, my students have too, bottom line we just want to have fun doing what we do!!

Christmas Poinsettia Candle Cozy Crochet Pattern – A Pretty Little Holiday Make for Battery Tea Lights

If you love adding little handmade touches to your Christmas decorating, this Christmas Poinsettia Candle Cozy from CraftBits is such a pretty project. It is festive, eye-catching, and just the sort of small crochet make that can add a lovely pop of holiday color to a table, shelf, or mantel.

What I really like about this pattern is that it feels special without being overwhelming. It is a sweet seasonal project for dressing up battery tea lights, and the poinsettia design gives it that classic Christmas look that never gets old. It would be gorgeous as part of a holiday centerpiece or made up in a few sets for decorating around the house.

You might have seen this one featured on Crochet.CraftGossip before, and it is easy to see why it is worth another look. It is cheerful, decorative, and a lovely way to bring a little crochet into your Christmas styling without taking on a huge project.

If you are in the mood for a small festive make, this one is definitely a pretty pick.
