In this blog, I have linked patterns
written by my friends from the Facebook group +Crafts Hobby Club: Crochet, Knit, Tat
& all Handcrafts. I have made these
cute little ornaments with a different yarn as suggested, and these are photos
of my work.
Thank you Selvameena, Subashini,
Swarupa, Poushali and Priya for your permission and for allowing me to showcase
your work on this blog.
I have made the star, snowflake,
santa photoframe, and bell. I have made
a set of wreaths as well, but not the one here.
I have not managed to make the Santa hat or the jewellery / gift box, so
photos will follow as soon as I get those done.
