Gingerbread Dishcloth

I have tried playing with the picture, but I still cannot get it to upload to Blogger correctly. However, I love this pattern and want to share it. This is the last of the gingerbread items I made for a recent swap. This was made from a free pattern that was part of Maggie Weldon's Dishcloth contest. You can find the pattern here.

The challenge to make this started with finding brown cotton yarn. I am not sure why, but it was hard to find Lily Sugar n'Cream brown. When I found it I bought out the local supply as I have several patterns that call for brown cotton.

This was a fun festive item to make. It makes a nice holiday item if you need an extra Christmas gift.

Gingerbread Tissue Box

This was my first attempt at a tissue box and I was pleased with it. I learned a good deal and will know more for my next effort. I found the pattern in a library book Annie's Favorite Christmas Projects. I have been searching for this book for a while to add to my collection. I learned the pattern is also available in Issue 90 (Nov-Dec 1997) of Annie's Crochet Newsletter. Sadly, that is one of the ones I still have to collect.

Countdown to Christmas Projects

I finshed the snowman ami project and will post the pictures when I download them. DH has taken his early Christmas present to work already.

I spent Sunday pushing hard on the cat afghan, but I think the deadline is going to be close. Thankfully that is the last of the handmade presents I need to finish before Christmas Eve. Of course there is all the wrapping that needs to be done. I already have ideas for things I want to make for next year. That seems to be the way. I haven't finished one holiday before my mind is racing on to new projects.
