Paper Ball Ornament

We had great fun making this paper ornament.  I saw a photo of it on the internet and really wanted to make my own. It was fun to make and turned out great.  

Since I'm a visual learner I decided to make a video of the process of making these.  For me, it's much easier to follow a video than it is to follow a description.  So, if you're interested in seeing how these are made, take a look at the video I've posted on YouTube.

Ashton Neckwarmer

This is like a piece of art worn around your neck!  And it will keep you warm and cosy too!  It works up with variegated yarn in no time and is easier than it looks.  I love it in the rose tones, but it looks great in many colors.  The pattern includes instructions for making the flowers too.  The pattern is written out in full English wording without abbreviations and is available for instant download here.

Winter Projects

Winter is the perfect time to kick back and work on cosy crochet projects.  I always enjoy the return of television programs that took a break during December and want to have something to do while I watch.  I like feeling productive and can't help but multi-task!

Slippers and scarves always come to mind this time of year.
Here's a great selection of booties and slipper patterns from Ashton11.
