In readiness for the upcoming holiday, the crafts here are sure to help you create some lovely decor.

The classic craft emblems, (turkeys, pumpkins and more) are all here, plus a few unique and new ideas.

But first a little progress report of my own…

On My Needles

I’ve been busy working on a new pair of socks with a pattern called ‘Toe Up Socks With A Difference‘ by Wendy D Johnson.

Some wonderful members of Ravelry helped me when I came to a section in the pattern that I did not understand. I am grateful for their help as I can continue with the pattern 🙂 There are parts in the pattern I’ve not ever done before, so it is challenging.

I love the colors of the self striping yarn and the effects it creates.

For Those of You Who Love Socks!
