Crochet Christmas

Now that everyone has opened their Christmas presents I can share pics of what I made for everyone.  So here is my Crochet Christmas collection! 

Hat for my sister

Scarf for my sister

Floor-sized Checkers set for my niece (complete with checkers and carrying bag)

Purse for my niece (apparently it's perfectly Kindle-shaped!)

Afghan for Rodger and Kathie

Shawl for my sis-in-law

matching placemats for my mother-in-law (I made 4 of these)

"Lacey" fingerless gloves for my niece (used crochet thread here - first and possibly LAST time!)

 

The only Christmas present I didn’t get a picture of was the legwarmers I made for my mom.  So Mom: you have to take a picture of you wearing them and send it to me! 

I also thought I would post some pics of a few other baby hats I made during this time too.  I can’t remember it I have posted these already, so if I have you get to see them again.

I finished most items in the week I allotted myself (or less).  The afghan, placemats and gloves took the longest.  It was nice to cluster them together - I did a lot of the smaller projects back to back, and then took a break.  I don’t think I’ll be doing an entirely crocheted Christmas again.  It was a lot of work. I will most likely continue to make SOME of the gifts I give, just because I enjoy the task and giving something personalized.  Of course, I guess I could start now on next year’s gifts . . .  ;)
