This year I wanted to start a new tradition in making each of my kids a Christmas tree ornament. This year I decided to go with something silly and fun. I chose to make the Red Heart Jolly Pickle Ornament which can be found on the Yarnspiration website.
I used various scrap yarns in my stash ( mainly all Red Heart yarn). The eyes I used can be found on Amazon. If you are interested in making some of your own! For the pickle on the far right, I used these eyes & for the others, I used these. Any stuffing will do for the inside.
My Mom inspired me last week to create this beautiful C2C Hat and Scarf Set. This is the second hat, I’ve ever crocheted followed by a Sweet Deer-themed one I made one of my daughter’s for Halloween this year. I’m pleased with how it came out.
The yarn I used was on clearance at Michaels Arts and Crafts and it is called Impeccable “Falling Leaves”. It took a little less than 3 skeins to make both the scarf and the hat.
I consider myself a frugal person. I try to reduce waste and reuse things as much as possible. That said, I decided to combine my love of knitting and the mesh produce bags we often get from the local food bank to create a helpful household cleaning aid. In using this mesh, I am saving money by not spending extra money on specialty scrubby yarns in using what I already have.
